On our wedding day, he said to me, "Thank you for silently being by my side."

I held onto those words.

So after we got married, just like before, I never troubled him. I simply stood by him silently.

Roger was a professor at Hensen University and also the vice dean of the college.

Daniel never wanted people to say he was networking, so I never appeared in front of his colleagues.

He was busy, so I waited for him at home every day, making sure he could come back to a meal and relax.

I knew Barbara had returned to the country, and I knew they were working on the same project.

But I trusted him because he promised to be good to me for a lifetime.

But long-term companionship could be exhausting.

I wasn't sure if I had the strength to continue chasing after him.

"Could you look over my divorce agreement for me?"

I handed the printed divorce agreement to my good friend, Bella Dent.

Bella was a lawyer. She had joked before that if I ever got divorced, she would help. Little did I know how true that would become.

This wasn't the first time I had seen this divorce agreement.

I had seen it in Daniel's study before.

We had argued about it for days.
