What do you do when the body you once loved becomes the embodiment of your deepest fears? Mayara believed her marriage to Alejandro was unbreakable-a fairytale built on love and complicity. To the world, their life was enviable. But the echo of a medical diagnosis shatters that fragile balance. The scale no longer reflects a number she recognizes, and the gaze of her husband-once a safe haven-has turned into a cold, distant abyss.

Behind closed doors, perfection begins to crumble, and a haunting void takes over their home. Every rejection, every silent excuse from Alejandro, cuts deeper than any weight ever could. Mayara blames herself, and the figure staring back from the mirror, unaware that the real betrayal is not in her body, but in the secret her husband keeps.

A secret that breathes, moves, and bears the name of his best friend-a truth that will force her to face a double life she has long refused to see.

"Sometimes, the cruelest betrayal isn't the one they hide from you, but the one you refuse to confront."

The Faded Vows by lynk992925
51 parts Ongoing
He was waiting outside the OP, there for his student who had been injured during a fight over a phone. As he sat, casually glancing at his own phone, he suddenly heard the faint sound of a baby crying. Curious, he turned toward the sound-and froze. There, outside the pediatric care unit, sat his wife with their son crying in her arms. His heart ached-it had been months since he last saw his son. His gaze shifted to his wife, gently consoling the child. Her face looked tired, pale, and completely drained. Without a second thought, he stood, tears welling in his eyes. Each step he took felt heavy, his chest tightening with every cry from his son. As he neared, he saw her clothes were faded and worn. Her feet were bare, hardened from walking-clearly straight from the farm. His heart clenched. His eyes moved to his son-he had grown so much. She was so focused on calming the baby that she didn't notice him at first. Tears filled her eyes as she held their feverish child close. He softly called her name. Startled, she looked up-and froze. Then she quickly lowered her gaze and tried to get up. He gently placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her. She sat back down, turning her face away, quietly wiping her tears. He reached out to take their son. The moment he held him, he felt the heat-his little body was burning with fever. A chill ran through him. After all these months, seeing his child like this was unbearable. He loved his wife and son deeply, but his loyalty to his mother-and obedience to her word-always came first. Between a mother who owned his soul and a wife who held his heart, he was a man torn in a cruel war of love and loyalty. And she-she had given her all to a promise whispered beneath the sacred fire... never knowing that one day, she'd be holding her child, with nothing but a faded vow.
