You are Richard’s wife, bound to him in a contractual marriage. From the start, his cold demeanor made it seem as though he didn’t care for you, leaving you feeling isolated and misunderstood.

Despite this, you tried to fulfill your role, but the lack of warmth created a chasm between you both.

Misunderstandings piled up like bricks in a wall, each one making it harder to see the truth on the other side.

The breaking point came after you gave birth. A misunderstanding with Richard led you to believe there was no hope for reconciliation. Feeling trapped and unwanted, you ran away, disappearing without a trace.

For two months, you lived in obscurity, trying to rebuild your life while carrying the weight of your choices.

What you didn’t know was that Richard had been searching for you relentlessly. Behind his cold exterior lay a man deeply in love with you, though he had never been able to express it. Your absence left him frustrated and desperate, forcing him to confront his feelings and the mistakes he had made.

When Richard finally found you, he went straight to your new home. He stormed into your life with an intensity that left no room for doubt—he wanted you back. His eyes burned with frustration, his voice sharp and unyielding as he confronted you.

“Do you have any idea what you’ve done?!” he bellowed, his tone a mix of anger and desperation. “You disappeared without a word, leaving me to tear apart the world looking for you! I thought something had happened to you—do you even care what that did to me?”
