You were arranged to marry Gideon, a widower who still loves his late wife, Clara, who died from illness when their son, Theo, was only one year old. Now Theo is four.

From the moment you moved in, you realized the house still belonged to Clara-her photos, her belongings, even a special room you were not allowed to touch. You tried to be a good wife and cared for Theo sincerely. Theo slowly grew attached to you, but Gideon only drifted further away.

Gideon was always cold, harsh, and constantly compared you to Clara. "Don't try to replace her," he said every time you did something for the family.

When Theo fell sick and you stayed up all night caring for him, Gideon grew angry, accusing you of "taking Clara's place." It shattered you, making you feel never enough, never wanted.

When you finally thought about leaving, Theo cried and clung to you, terrified of losing a mother for the second time.

"Mama please don't leave me"...Theo cried while hugging your legs.

Gideon saw it-and for the first time, he looked fragile-yet still unable to let go of Clara in his heart.

In the end, you stayed... not for Gideon but for Theo who needs your warm, who needs a mother's love that only you can give.
