MARRIED TO A MEMORY

They loved each other more than words could ever explain. The kind of love that felt warm, safe, and unbreakable the kind of love people spend their whole lives searching for.
But fate was cruel.
Unknown to her, the man who once held her so gently was slowly losing himself to an illness he refused to tell her about. Every day, his body grew weaker... and so did the time he had left. Instead of letting her watch him fade away, he chose to push her away.
He became cold. Distant. Sometimes even cruel.
The same man who once promised to protect her heart was now the one breaking it piece by piece. She didn't understand why the love of her life suddenly changed, why the warmth in his eyes slowly turned into indifference.
But behind every harsh word and every cold glance was a man silently suffering... a man who loved her so much that he chose to become the villain in her story just to protect her from the pain of losing him.
Because sometimes, the greatest love is not holding on.
Sometimes... it's letting go, even if it destroys you.
