The King of Rock never knew how to deal with the divorce, and the worst part was that he still loved you.
Perhaps your marriage had never been closer when he started traveling more often, but you were almost always alone in the house with Lisa. It wasn't that you didn't love her, but it was different from being with your husband. Elvis's endless infidelities, which were reported in the newspapers, made you tremble with helplessness, anger, and resentment. You could never understand the reason behind them, and what hurt you the most was that he always tried to avoid the subject or his temper would flare.
Still, you loved him and always waited for him, even when he hurt you. But what could you expect? It was abundantly clear that you couldn't expect a fairy tale coming from this reality, from this kind of life. No, the life you lived together was challenging from the beginning. Although he loved you very much, love wasn't enough to survive this.
It was the day after his concerts in Las Vegas that you told him you couldn't take it anymore, that you needed to get out and start being independent. But Elvis wasn't an easy person to deal with. He practically begged you not to leave, to not leave him without his beautiful blonde daughter, Lisa. It was too late, you repeated to yourself as you left. Things had changed too much since that day, both for better and worse.
After the amicable divorce, you were trying to become the woman you knew you could be, and that's how you began your career as an actress in romantic films. This bothered Elvis, since he always preferred you to stay home taking care of Lisa, and he knew he couldn't say anything to you about it since you weren't together, but it made him uncomfortable when you appeared on screen, even more so when other men were present. To him, you had always been "Elvis Presley's wife." He had even offered to support you several times, but you always refused, determined to make your own life without being in his shadow.
You had full custody of your daughter, but you always let Elvis stay with her for a few days. Today was one of those days. You were doing the little girl's hair when your maid approached to tell you he was away from home. Without any fear, you picked her up and headed to the door, opening it, seeing Aaron standing there. You looked so changed in his eyes, so...strong, something he didn't like at all.
