When Love Faded, I Found Light

Synopsis

After learning that Leopold Soto had been keeping a college girl as his mistress, I attempted suicide three times and caused one public scene. The last time, I fell to the ground before him and begged him to come back. "Not for any other reason, but for the ten years we've spent together. I was only twenty when I chose you. I gave you the best years of my life. And now, at thirty, you tell me you love another woman. I can't accept that..." I was sobbing uncontrollably, tears and mucus running down my face, clinging to his leg on my knees like a madwoman. What he said surprised me. He looked down at me with undisguised disgust. He said coldly, "Veronica, don't force me to despise you. Isn't all this drama because you're afraid she'll threaten your place as my wife? Gloria is just a naïve little girl, not even twenty yet. She is pure and innocent. You think she's anything like you?" It was the first time I had ever seen disgust in his eyes when he looked at me. I was sure of it. Ten years together. From the innocent passion of youth, to building a business side by side, to reaching the point where we could barely stand the sight of each other. That was where it ended. I still could not understand it. He had once promised to love me for the rest of my life. So I wondered why he stopped loving me after ten years.
