On our wedding day, he said to me, "Thank you for silently being by my side."
I held onto those words.
So after we got married, just like before, I never troubled him. I simply stood by him silently.
Roger was a professor at Hensen University and also the vice dean of the college.
Daniel never wanted people to say he was networking, so I never appeared in front of his colleagues.
He was busy, so I waited for him at home every day, making sure he could come back to a meal and relax.
I knew Barbara had returned to the country, and I knew they were working on the same project.
But I trusted him because he promised to be good to me for a lifetime.
But long-term companionship could be exhausting.
I wasn't sure if I had the strength to continue chasing after him.
"Could you look over my divorce agreement for me?"
I handed the printed divorce agreement to my good friend, Bella Dent.
Bella was a lawyer. She had joked before that if I ever got divorced, she would help. Little did I know how true that would become.
This wasn't the first time I had seen this divorce agreement.
I had seen it in Daniel's study before.
We had argued about it for days.
