The Collapse of Love: Rising from the AshesChapter 1
On the day my grandmother passed away, my wife, Chloe Kade, was off climbing mountains for love. Every call I made throughout the day went unanswered except for one. Her voice was cold and distant. "When will you ever grow up? When will you learn to understand others' pain?" By the time she returned home, exhausted but content, all I could offer was a chilling, "Let's get a divorce. You're free."
"Osborne, where is Chloe? I'm afraid she won't hold on much longer."
Grandma lay in her hospital bed. Her face was pale, but her expression calm, her words tinged with regret.
She adored Chloe and had longed to help us raise our children, but now, that dream would never be realized.
"Don't worry, Grandma. She... she's on a business trip, rushing back. I'll call her again."
Though Chloe's previous response had left me feeling hopeless, I couldn't bear to disappoint Grandma. I got up and dialed Chloe's number once more.
I knew that even after three years of marriage, Chloe still couldn't forget her childhood sweetheart, Brad Watson.
I was willing to let her go, but why did it have to be this way?
Why must Grandma leave this world with regrets?
