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 Beatrix left, Caspian's attitude towards me changed. He started criticizing me for not eating like a lady, unlike Beatrix.


He said I only knew how to study and had no desire to explore the world.


He said I didn't know how to dress up and was squandering the best years of a girl's life.


I laughed, remembering how naive I was back then, thinking he was offering advice to help me improve.


Now, looking back, it was just him not finding a trace of Beatrix in me, and when he couldn't vent his frustration, he started criticizing me relentlessly.


Even when we got married, he wore a cold expression, and after we got the marriage certificate, he suddenly said, "Are you satisfied now?"


As if I had forced him to marry me and forced him into a relationship.


His inability to control his desires and the consequences he wanted me to bear—that was how Caspian dealt with things.
