We were high school sweethearts, and after seven years of marriage to Ethan, everyone called us the perfect pair. My name is Chloe. Once the most promising young designer at the design firm, I gave up my career for Ethan and our family, becoming a full-time homemaker whose life revolved around the stove, my child, and him. I'd believed our love could outlast the years, survive the daily grind, and keep every promise we'd made. But I'd forgotten: people change. Love fades. I'd poured my heart and soul into seven years of marriage, only to get coldness, infidelity, late nights away, and constant criticism from my mother-in-law in return. I clung to a broken marriage and my young son in that quiet house, crying myself hoarse night after night, the pain threatening to suffocate me. Then came the final straw. I finally understood: some love turns cold in an instant. Some marriages fall apart in seven years. The marriage was broken, the couple gone. All that love had burned to ash, and nothing could ever put us back together again.
