Episode 2

Saki's Vision

I was in that bed again, alone. No matter how much time passes, I can't get used to it. This bed, which was once filled almost every night with the movements of our bodies, always damp with our sweat, was now solitary and cold.

I wonder if it's my fault. Maybe if I tried harder, I could save this marriage that seems beyond saving.

Tired of lying down, I decide to go downstairs to wait for Edgard in the living room. I put on my robe and descend, glancing at the clock again—it's already 1:31 in the morning.

I wonder if he's sleeping out again.

However, it's not long before I hear the sound of the door. It lifts my spirits, and I quickly go to my alpha. But my body feels heavy, and my heart aches as I realize my husband is covered in another omega's pheromones. I bite my lip to hold back tears and simply approach him, offering a welcome that, as always, he ignores.

I repeat to myself that everything is fine and calm down. I head to the bedroom, hearing the sound of water and realizing he's in the shower. I take off my robe and lie down, hoping to fall asleep quickly, which doesn't take long.

...----------------...

The next day, as always, I wake up before him. I get dressed the way he likes and sit on the edge of the bed, waiting for something—even if it's just a simple good morning or hello, just something I can hold onto, something to keep me going.

I just wanted something to cling to, but instead, he just ignores me again.

Am I a ghost to him?

Am I so insignificant in his life?

Did he ever truly love me?

I'm tired, I can't take it anymore. Even if it means I'm the only one who gets hurt?

How long must I endure this?

I don't want this... I'm tired.

These thoughts get stuck in my throat, and I can't hold back the tears any longer. They begin to flow, the tears I've held back for the past three years, ever since that cursed day, are now flooding my face.

I'm done. I don't want to live like this anymore. If this marriage is doomed, then I give up.

"Let's get a divorce," I say, trying to contain my uncontrollable tears. I notice his surprise, and I don't even care. I spent three years of my life blaming myself for that, but it was my baby too, and I never treated him that way. I always tried everything to fix things, to make them go back to the way they were, but if he doesn't want that, then I give up. I won't condemn myself to this life of suffering just to please him... I'm tired.

End of Saki's Vision

Edgard's Vision

E-Edgard Colin - D-divorce?

I stammer, my heart pounding. I didn't want this, couldn't believe what I had just heard. But now, with a voice devoid of emotion and a look I've never seen before—a look of exhaustion, of suffering, a lifeless look—he says to me,

Saki Preston - I should have asked for this three years ago. It would have spared me so much pain. But what's the point of talking when you don't care?

He gets up and slowly walks to our bedroom door.

Saki Preston - I loved her just like you did, but unlike you, I never blamed you for anything. I'm tired. From now on, I'll sleep in one of the guest rooms.

He leaves, leaving me alone.
