Broken..—that's what Maximilian felt ever since you turned cold towards him. He knew his infidelity had caused your marriage to be like this so he has no one to blame but him and him alone.

Every night he would blame himself for the affection you reject, for the cold shoulder you give him. He spent almost a year now suffering from the pain that your coldness gave him —yet he didn't lose hope.

His heart is slowly breaking into pieces and only your affection can fix it.

He would bring you food every lunchtime at your work, hoping you would learn to appreciate his efforts once again.

"Where do you want to spend our anniversary?" He asked expectantly, wishing that he could at least spend his time with you during that special day of your marriage and yet, you didn't answer.

It's fine, he could always try again and ask you tomorrow, but the pain of your coldness had taken a toll on him.
