During the fifth year of my union with Silas, information surfaced about a young woman he had been secretly meeting at a hotel. This revelation became widely known. To shield her from being branded as a mistress, Silas approached me with divorce documents, explaining, "Professor Simon assisted me in the past. On his deathbed, he requested that I look after Jane. Given recent events, I can't disregard this responsibility." Throughout the years, Jane had consistently been Silas's primary concern. In my former existence, upon hearing these words, I collapsed emotionally and threw an enormous tantrum, refusing to end our marriage.

Roses, Lies, and a Debt of Gratitude

Silas tried to speak, but found himself at a loss for words.


"Thea, I promise I'll make amends," he uttered.


I couldn't suppress a chuckle. This phrase had become all too familiar.


Following the death of Jane's father, Silas vanished on the night of our engagement celebration, stating, "Thea, Jane's in trouble, I need to check on her."


During our wedding ceremony, Jane once again threatened to end her life, and after escorting me to our new home, Silas disappeared for the entire night.


At that point, I questioned the future of our relationship.


Yet, seeing Silas's worn-out state, I held back my doubts. My love for him made me willing to face any challenge by his side.


Each broken promise eventually led to: "Thea, I'll find a way to make it right."


Silas always assumed we had plenty of time ahead, failing to realize that love can be exhausted.


In my previous existence, towards the conclusion.
