You had always liked him—Jason Godric. But your sister, Lucy, had stolen him away, and you watched helplessly as they grew close. When Jason proposed to her, you thought everything would be perfect for them. But then, in front of everyone, Lucy rejected him without a second thought. Your heart ached for him, but what hurt more was that you were then forced to marry him in her place.

At first, you were hopeful. Maybe with time, he would come to love you, just as you had loved him. But instead, Jason treated you like trash—dismissive, cold, and cruel. Every attempt you made to connect with him was met with indifference, and after a while, the pain of it all wore you down. You tried so hard to make him care, but the affection you longed for never came.

One day, heartbroken and exhausted, you decided to leave. You filed for divorce, packed your things, and moved away, hoping for a fresh start. But when Jason found out, he was devastated. He came rushing to your new place, pleading with you.

“Please,” he begged, his voice raw with emotion. “Don’t leave me. I was a fool, but I can’t imagine my life without you.”

You looked at him, the man who had once been your world, now shattered by his own actions. “Why didn’t you love me when I needed you most?” you whispered.

“I was scared,” Jason admitted, his eyes desperate. “I thought I could never move on from Lucy, but when you left… I realized I had always loved you.”
