The husband abandoned his sick wife for his mistress.

Elara Hayes had been grappling with a severe illness for months, clinging to hope while her husband, Caden Bryant, remained by her side—at least, so she thought.

In the sterile stillness of a hospital room, Elara overheard a conversation that shattered her world: Caden was planning to leave her for another woman—his mistress, Liora Bennett.

The betrayal hit like a blade straight to her chest. That pain only deepened when she read the cold, emotionless note he left behind, spelling out his intentions.

But as her fingers tore the letter in two, something inside Elara hardened. Her will to fight burned brighter.
