Chapter 5:

“Didn’t I make it clear? I’m married. We’re over. This is my husband,” Elyse said as she quickly moved to Jayden’s side, gripping his arm.

Theo stared at Jayden, failing to recognize him. With a sneer, he said, “To get back at me, you married a disabled man?” He then extended his hand, commanding in a domineering tone, “Elyse, come here! I’ll make it up to you when we get back.”

But Elyse looked at him as if he were a stranger. “Did you hear me? Come here!” Theo grew frustrated.

Elyse reflected on how she would have responded in the past—she would have definitely walked over to his side. She had loved him deeply for three years. Her feelings had been genuine. Yet, the depth of her affection made the betrayal harder to bear.

On her first birthday after they got together, she wanted to celebrate by the sea. To make her happy, Theo bought a camera, promising to capture beautiful photos of her. As they were about to board the plane for their trip to the seaside, Kaelyn was injured on a film set and called Theo. Without any hesitation, Theo left her stranded at the airport. It was the most disappointing birthday Elyse had ever experienced.

Theo had once vowed to attend her debut performance with her orchestra, yet she ended up not seeing him there. She lingered in the hall all night, only to learn the next day that he had missed the performance because Kaelyn had become drunk at a dinner party while trying to land a role. He stayed because he was worried she might be taken advantage of. For three years, he had been Kaelyn’s protector, but he had never offered Elyse the same safeguard. This accumulation of disappointments came to a head at the wedding. She knew she deserved love and respect, not neglect.
