I thought I was special.
I thought I was the one who pulled him out of trouble, the one who shaped who he became.
But now, thinking back, I suddenly saw it clearly.
I wasn’t a rope.
Maybe I had just shown up earlier than the others.
There were only three days left before the divorce.
And today was the livestream for the 5th anniversary of ‘Knowing Me.’
We had prepared for an entire year for this day.
I had always assumed that even if our marriage was full of cracks, at least in business, Zion would keep basic logic.
After all, ‘Knowing Me’ wasn’t only my effort.
It was something Zion and I built from zero, the core of the company, and the shared memories and feelings of countless players.
Because I was pregnant and tired, the one who was supposed to stand onstage today and face the audience was Zion.
During the practice two weeks earlier, everything went almost flawlessly.
I thought today would go the same way.
The host’s voice rose with energy as he introduced the main guest of the night.
The lights brightened, and the person who should have stepped forward was a newly popular actor we had paid a huge fee to bring in.
