Chapter 17
Sarah's
POV.
I barely made it home before the tears started falling. As soon as I closed the door behind me, I slid down to the floor, burying my face in my hands.
The image of Richard and Susan, smiling and happy, flashed through my mind. My heart ached, the pain sharp and deep.
The man I had loved, the one who never loved me back, had left me for his mistress.
He had walked away from our marriage like it was nothing. And now, he was happy, ready to start a new life with her.
"Why wasn't I enough?" I whispered to the empty room. I felt small and unwanted, like all those years meant nothing.
I had given so much of myself to Richard, hoping he would one day love me back. But he never did. Instead, he moved on, leaving me behind to pick up the pieces.
I cried for what felt like hours, letting out all the hurt and anger I had kept inside.
After a while, I was just numb. I dragged myself to the couch, curling up into a ball, and staring blankly at the wall and I didn't know when I dozed off.
Later that evening, there was a knock on the door. I wiped my face and went to open it. A delivery man stood there, holding a small parcel.
"For you," he said, handing it over. I blinked in surprise. "Me?"
I signed for it, thanked him, and gently shut the door. Who would send me something?
I stared at the box for a moment before carefully opening it.
Inside was a small, beautifully wrapped gift and a note. My hands shook as I unfolded the paper and began to read.
"Sarah,
I know today was hard, and I know you're hurting. But don't let this break you. You are stronger than you realize, and you have so much to offer the world. -W"
I felt a lump in my throat as I read the words. They were simple but hit me hard.
Someone cared, someone believed in me. I felt a warmth spread through my chest.
