After leaving him, he begged me to come back

The year the Fabian family was on the brink of bankruptcy, my father treated marriage as a transaction and married me off to Fabian.

At the time, I did not know that Fabian already had someone in his heart, a childhood sweetheart who had nearly become his wife.

Later, my father was dragged into a workplace sexual harassment scandal, and the company teetered on the edge of collapse.

It was then that Fabian brought Thalia back home, saying he wanted to compensate her with a grand wedding.

I did not cry. I did not make a scene. I simply began packing my luggage in silence.
