About
In a world where ambition eclipses love, Cyrus finds himself trapped in a marriage that has spiraled into a chaotic mockery of what it once was. His wife, Luna, has risen to academic fame, leaving him to navigate a life filled with her parade of young male protégés, while he becomes nothing more than a reluctant housekeeper in the shadows of her brilliance. As their anniversary unfolds, laughter and bitter jabs fill the air, but beneath the surface, tensions simmer, and Cyrus clutches divorce papers that might finally sever their ties.
Can love survive when betrayal festers in the heart? Luna's casual disdain for Cyrus's struggles cuts deep, igniting a fire within him that he can no longer ignore. With every scathing remark, she pushes him closer to the edge, challenging his identity and worth. And yet, as the line between love and resentment blurs, the stakes rise. Will Cyrus find the courage to reclaim his life, or will he remain shackled to a past that refuses to let go?
As the emotional fallout of their marriage spirals out of control, secrets bubble to the surface, threatening to shatter both their lives. In this tale of ambition, heartbreak, and the quest for self, what will it take for Cyrus to finally stand up for himself—and what will it cost him?
When the Sun Tragically Fell for the MoonChapter 1
After Luna, my wife, became one of the most credible doctoral advisor in her field, she made it a tradition to sponsor a poor male student each year. Though, it was all under the pretense of building her reputation.
On our wedding anniversary, she showed up late, trailing behind her a baby-faced college boy in a crisp white shirt.
“This kid's young, shy and pure-hearted," she said casually. "If you keep that scowl on your face, you’ll just scare him off."
She then added, "Warm him a glass of milk, will you? He gets insomnia before bed and if he doesn’t sleep well, he’ll end up not sleeping at all. It'd keep me up too.”
Laughter and teasing filled the room. Her academic friends, all too comfortable with the scene, kept calling him her “little boyfriend” like it was some sort of inside joke.
I said nothing. I simply threw the divorce papers in her face.
“Cyrus, seriously?" she sneered, barely glancing at them. "Still playing this fake divorce game to get attention? God, no wonder you’re so boring in bed."
"If you really had the guts, you'd actually leave," she added nonchalantly.
