He loved once, was betrayed, and now I am the wife he never wanted.
I live in the shadow of a love that ended in divorce, blamed for sins that were never mine.
Will he ever see me as his wife... his other half?
The words I hear crush me, each one heavier than the last.
"You are nothing more than a middle-class bodyguard. Just a bodyguard. Wait-don't tell me he kept you... did you sleep with him for his money too?"
My silence burns, but my heart keeps whispering-will he ever move beyond this curtain of lies, will he ever see the truth? For his love I have endured, waited, and prayed all my life. And yet, all I hear is another dagger.
"I am sure you wouldn't have cared if it was any other man that night... instead of me."
I had only read of love in books, but after marrying him, every heartbeat betrayed me-faster, louder, whenever I looked at him. Now I wonder... will I ever truly know what love is?
