After losing my first love, I became an undertaker.
The most popular movie star, Yod Ellis, proposed to me after breaking up with his ex-girlfriend.
After marriage, he was always cautious.
Until his ex-girlfriend Cameron Langley came to me again, and they rekindled their old love.
I realized that Yod Ellis had never been sincere to me.
I turned around and went to the hospital to make an appointment for an abortion.

I never told anyone that I didn't love Yod.
I also didn't tell anyone that I married him because of my dead first love.

At last, he chuckled bitterly, "Zamari, did you ever care for me as deeply as you did for him? Can you imagine how it feels to watch you waste away in that room, consumed by memories of him?"


"It seems I'll never measure up to him, even though he's gone. That's the truth, isn't it?"
