The world looked on with envy at the seemingly flawless bond Wanda Hamilton shared with her spouse and child. However, she alone knew the bitter truth. Her husband had secretly created another family elsewhere, taking their son along with him.
The evening Eric Gordon whisked their boy away to commemorate his "unforgettable first love" clinching the prestigious Best Actress accolade at the Moviegoers Awards Festival, Wanda reached a life-altering conclusion.
She resolved to stage her own demise and vanish from their lives permanently. Within seven days, she would erase herself from existence. Neither her husband nor her child would remain in her world; she no longer desired their presence.

The Vanishing Act of a Scorned Wife

Wanda remained silent, her gaze fixed on Eric. In the year since she'd last seen him, he appeared to have aged considerably.


His frame was lean, his skin stretched taut over his bones. Silver strands streaked his temples, and his lips were ashen, nearly colorless.

"I haven't missed you," she eventually stated, her voice steady and resolute. "In truth, I wish I had left you earlier."


"Even if we were to reconcile," she went on, "your unfaithfulness would remain a constant source of pain. Whenever you'd be out of sight, I'd be plagued by thoughts of you with another woman."


Overwhelming affection had led to debilitating doubt.


Wanda was resolved not to allow him to cause her pain again. She added, "Don't return. I won't forgive you in this life."
