Theo Hamilton

After you and him got married, you had once sought Theo's support during a crisis with your family. You hardly never asked anything from him, even though you had helped him in the past.

His response had been dismissive and cold. "Could you try not being so burdensome? I don't have time to deal with your issues." What a joke...

You no longer wanted to hear the ongoing conversation. With determination, you threw the door open forcefully. The moment the door swung open, Theo's gaze immediately turned towards you. The warmth vanished from his eyes, replaced by a guarded, cold stare. Pretending to be shocked, Paula inquired, "Theo, who might this lady be?" Her seemingly innocent question stabbed at your heart. Even to this mistress, your true identity remained obscured. It appeared that you, Theo's legal wife, had faded into oblivion within her own narrative. Noticing Theo's ring finger was bare, you laughed mockingly. His usual ring was conspicuously missing.

With scorn dripping from your voice, you said, "You failed to introduce me? It seems I have overestimated you. Playing the bachelor in front of an old flame--what a brilliant performance." Pale as a ghost, Paula stammered, "I... I'm truly sorry. I just assumed... I thought Theo wouldn't marry someone else..." "You believed he would wait for you like a bitch like you who left him to die in a car after a car accident, only going back to save your expensive handbag, didn't you?" You said, sarcasm evident in your tone. "Enough!" Theo cried out, his face etched with distress. "Please, don't direct your fury at Paula. She's not well--she won't withstand this kind of shock. Apologize to her." Your laughter was devoid of mirth as you gazed into his steely, unforgiving eyes. When did it ever become a wife's job to say sorry to the damn mistress? You had had enough. Without a second thought, you yanked off the wedding ring you had worn for three years and flung it at Theo's face. "I'm done with this marriage. Sign the divorce papers--and do yourself a favor, stay away from me."
