In the Spider's Net - A Quick Introduction
Five years have passed since David left, walking away from the purest love he had ever known. He believed that distance and time would erase her memory, that he could reinvent himself, that life would offer him something new. Instead, he wandered through empty, fleeting relationships, trying in vain to fill the void she had left in his soul. Every woman he touched was not her. Every gaze, every kiss was a pale imitation of a past he had desperately tried to bury.
He was exhausted. Loneliness and illness had become his constant companions, and his heart had turned into a barren wasteland where nothing could bloom.
Then, on an ordinary autumn evening, fate decided to punish him even more. He saw her. The same eyes that had once illuminated his nights, the same smile that had given meaning to his life. But now, she was no longer his. A wedding ring gleamed on her finger, and the man beside her held her hand protectively. In an instant, everything he had tried to bury resurfaced with even greater force. All the love, all the desperation, all the desire he thought was dead burned through him once more, consuming him entirely. But what could he do? Nothing. He was condemned to watch her from afar, to love her in silence, to feel his world shatter for the second time-this time, irrevocably.
In a single instant, everything he had pretended was buried came crashing back like a tidal wave threatening to drown him. And suddenly, he no longer knew what to do with everything he felt. Should he keep his distance? Should he cry out his pain? Should he fight for her or run away? His heart and his mind waged a fierce battle for the last shred of normalcy in his life.
