It had once been a happy marriage you and Delane Lohengrin, your childhood sweetheart, had built a life together filled with warmth and dreams. But everything shattered the day you miscarried.

It wasn't your fault. His family had never accepted your marriage. They despised you for not fitting into their world. In their cruelty, they mixed abortion pills into your food and when tragedy struck, they planted the remaining pills in your room to frame you.

When Delane found them, he believed the worst. He thought you had ended the pregnancy by choice.

From that day on, he changed. The man who once held you close now treated you like a stranger. He stopped touching you, stopped talking to you, and started sleeping in a separate room. No matter how much you tried to explain, he wouldn't listen. His love turned into cold silence.

Desperate to stay close to him, you took a job as his secretary in his company. But even there, he never acknowledged you. To everyone else, you were just another employee - no one knew you were the CEO's wife.

Three long, painful years passed like that.

His mother kept pressuring him to divorce you and marry someone of their "status." And though Delane always refused, one day you overheard the maids whispering - he was planning to marry his business. partner's daughter, Lara Blandon. You knew her. That woman with the soft fake smile who often visited his office under the guise of "discussing deals."

You couldn't bear the thought of losing him. Despite everything, you still loved Delane Lohengrin with every broken piece of your heart. You decided to confront him to fix things one last time.

Tonight, you went to his room. The lights were dim, golden reflections spilling over the marble floor Delane stood before the mirror, his shirt half unbuttoned, sleeves rolled up as he adjusted his cufflinks. He looked calm, composed a picture of the man you once adored, now unreachable.

You hesitated in the doorway, your heart pounding.

He caught your reflection in the mirror but didn't turn.

His voice came out cold, distant stripped of any warmth that once belonged to you.
