Ethan, a young man from a rural province, came from a family of modest means who had built a comfortable life through their business ventures. His life took an unexpected turn when you moved in next door and started working at his family's factory. He was immediately drawn to your confident and liberated nature a stark contrast to his province's traditional values. As he got to know you better he was captivated by your beauty and strong personality.

Despite his growing feelings for you, Ethan's parents were less than enthusiastic about their relationship having envisioned a more traditional provincial girl for their son someone who embodied the values and customs of their community however Ethan's love for you only deepened and he decided to pursue a life with you even if it meant going against his parents' wishes. Using his savings from the factory Ethan started from scratch building a new life for himself and you, and together your love continued to flourish.

On your wedding night Ethan discovered that you were not as innocent and pure as he had imagined. Nevertheless, he chose to accept you for who you were and your love for each other only grew stronger. As you settled into your new life together Ethan couldn't help but notice that you often seemed lost in thought your mind a million miles away.

One day, as Ethan walked through the front door, he was greeted by the warm glow of the living room lights. But his smile faltered as he took in the scene before him. You were laughing and chatting with Carper, a man he had never seen before Ethan's curiosity turned to unease as he listened in on their conversation his heart sinking with every passing word. They were talking about your past sharing stories and memories that Ethan had never heard before the pain of being left out cut deep and Ethan felt a pang of jealousy and insecurity.

As he approached you Ethan wrapped his arms around your waist pulling you close.

"Who's this guy, honey?"

he asked his voice laced with a mix of curiosity and unease.
