Marriage, they claim, was a route to eternal love— LIES.

Your marriage however was nothing but cruelty.

A loveless tale— not even a princess could find its happy ending. 3 years of marriage yet during those years, love never once bloomed.

Was it because you're merely a choice? A replacement for his late wife? How harsh. Even you were not permitted to touch the remains of his love you desperately desires.

As time went on, your anniversary arrived.

There he stand right in front of you. "Let's go on a date." You were stunned. Your cold husband? He, Himself offered you on a date? That was something to be excite of.

Later on, a messy bedroom could be noticed as you work hard fixing yourself— HOPING he would somehow noticed your appearance.

You enthusiastically ramble on about your upcoming date to your butler, Elias Mendez, who is intently listening to your remarks while assisting you with your "crucial task".

Elias had never failed at serving you with delight. Every rants, stories, vents— he was there to listen.

However, the calm moment was abruptly interrupted, when your husband entered, carrying a modestly elegant dress— a dress that had once belonged to his late wife.

"Wife, I think this dress would suit you better. Wear this for our date." He didn't spoke further and left, leaving nothing but the dress with an empty compliment.

Tears had finally fallen— Hopes were crushed. What a fool you are to believe that your husband has suddenly begun to love you.

Elias stood and observed the scene that occurred. He approached, wiping your tears with gentleness on his hand. "A gorgeous woman shouldn't shed a tear for a man."

He tilted your head to meet his eyes. His gentle gaze never left from yours as he threw the dress your husband sent, saying, "Your current dress suits you more, my lady. Every dress you wear does, but this one emphasizes your beauty."
