Caleb carries his wife to their new room, she cries the whole time until she falls asleep. He couldn't help but to blame himself and his family for what happened to his wife and to his mother-in-law, he didn't know that someone might suffer because of their family's enemies back then, and it is his wife who suffered the most.

He laid Neli down on the bed then fixed her hair that was covering her face, and stared at her. She looks like an angel while she's sleeping and even now that she has no make-up, her beauty can still be seen.

Caleb regrets the time that they were supposed to be together, his wife is a nice and kind hearted woman but why did he choose to believe that cunning woman? He instantly closed his heart and did not even try to know her better.

I must be really stupid.

Caleb lay down next to her and hugged her, he really wants to protect her this time. He wanted to see the smile on her lips instead of the tears in her eyes, it feels like his heart shattered into pieces when he sees her sad and crying. He doesn't want her to get hurt and suffer anymore, so he promised himself that he will do everything to make her happy.

He looked at Neli who was lying next to him when she suddenly moved, he stared at her beautiful face as she slept soundly and smiled when she squeezed her body against him and hugged him.

Caleb closed his eyes, and prepared to sleep. That woman will move to the mansion tomorrow so they need to go early.

When Caleb woke up, he saw Neli standing on the side of their bed. He got off and hugged her, but she suddenly pushed him away causing him to sit on the bed.

"Let's divorce, Caleb." Neli threw an envelope on his face. "I already signed it."

Caleb's heart suddenly throbbed on Neli's word, he immediately grabbed her hand to stop her from leaving but she just pulled it away and continued walking out of the room.

"NO! I don't want to get a divorce!" he shouted.

What happened all of a sudden?

But she still continued to walk away from him. He tried to chase her but his body couldn't move, she was afar when she suddenly turned to him.

"You need to take responsibility for Hazel." Neli said smiling but he can see the sadness on her beautiful face that makes his heart break. "I will let you both be happy together."

"No, please don't leave me." he's begging her. "Neli, you know that I didn't do anything to that woman!"

He tried to chase her, but Neli's image gets further and further, until it completely disappears from his sight. He knelt down and punched the floor, his heart tightened and couldn't breathe. He couldn't stop Neli from leaving, did she leave because of what happened? But he didn't do anything to that woman and she knows it.

He even explained everything to her, but she still left.

"Goodbye Caleb."

Caleb suddenly woke up and sat on the bed, he was sweating while catching his breath. His dream was still vivid in his mind.

It... it was just a dream, just a dream!

He turned to look for Neli beside him, and froze as if cold water had been poured on him when he saw that his wife was no longer by his side. He immediately looked for her in all parts of their room but he still couldn't find her so he felt scared.

He looked at the time and it was only seven in the morning and it was too early for her to wake up.

Where did she go?
