I spent a significant part of my life in an unhappy marriage with Caspian.
In our final moments, we exchanged harsh words, vowing never to encounter each other in another lifetime.
He blamed me for tying him down with our marriage and children, claiming it cost him his dream of becoming a singer in New York.
I resented him for neglecting his ailing parents and our kids, leaving me to shoulder the burden while he enjoyed life outside.
In our shared resentment, we were given a second chance.
When our eyes met in a crowd, we turned away without a second thought.
This time, I hope we don't look back with regret.

Broken Promises Will Not Be Fulfilled

After a period of passionate love, Caspian couldn't help but show his true colors and started demanding Beatrix take care of him.


But Beatrix wasn't like me. To her, dating Caspian was already a concession, so how could she possibly take care of him like I did?


Caspian was quickly dumped, and his agency went bankrupt.


"I am so unlucky, encountering such a company, practicing vocals for fourteen hours a day. If only I were still in school, how happy I'd be."


"Ah, women in New York are so materialistic. I'm just not famous yet, not that I'll never be famous, and they won't even have a drink with me!"


"I switched to a new company, but it's not great either. If I had known, I wouldn't have come here..."


"New York isn't as great as they say. The people here are not as good as folks from our small town."


I had Caspian's messages on silent, only checking occasionally. When I saw this message, I couldn't help but laugh.
