Thirty Years Of Devotion, Ended With A Betrayal

Synopsis

I gave up all my wealth and stuck by Andrew Shepherd's side for thirty years. In our toughest year, we didn't even have any food at home. Andrew went out to fight in underground matches, getting beaten black and blue, but no matter how bad it got, he just wouldn't back down. He put his body and soul on the line to carve out a bright future for me. Now, he was known as Mr. Shepherd, and I was the Mrs. Shepherd he held dear, the one he treasured with all his heart. When I returned home after a year away because of a family crisis, Andrew was so worried that he ended up seeing a therapist. Everyone said Andrew loved me more than himself. I used to believe it, too. But one day, I stood on the balcony and saw Andrew in the villa next door, holding another girl tightly in his arms. Andrew said, "Even though Charlotte's back, just thinking about you leaving makes me want to explode. "I realized I can't live without you. "Mia, you're not allowed to have any other men around you. If I ever see another man near you, I'll want to kill them." His voice was low, tinged with a madness he didn't even realize he had. "What about Mrs. Shepherd? Didn't you say you care about her more than your own life?" Mia asked. "Just keep it under wraps. As long as she never finds out, we're good, right? I want to be with you, always," Andrew replied. My hand holding the fruit knife started to shake. The blade slipped and nicked my skin, but I couldn't even feel it. We were childhood friends, and we'd been supporting each other through everything for thirty years. Only one year apart, and it all burst like a bubble. My hands trembled as I pulled out my phone and called my mom. "Mom, I wanna go home. I need a brand new identity and a one-way ticket out of the country."
