Marriage in Trouble

Daniel was my ideal. I believed in him with all my heart. But one day, a friend opened my eyes to the bitter truth, confessing that she was having an affair with my beloved. Well, yes, I had gained a few extra pounds. Quite a few, actually... But that's no excuse for cheating on your husband! Be that as it may, it was a turning point in my life. I'll lose weight and be so beautiful again that men will stick to me like flies to honey. Then Dan can bite his elbows. I'll quickly find a replacement for him. It seemed like a good plan. But... Everything is not as clear-cut as it seemed?

Chaos, mess… and a little bit of madness. That’s how every morning starts in this house. Between alarm clocks that never go off, Colyn shouting “milk!” from his dinosaur crib, Cody looking for his keys with a cup of coffee in his hand (which he inevitably spills), and me… trying not to forget the backpack, the laptop, the notes… or my own sanity. I’m not sure if we’re surviving or living at full speed. But here we are. Together. Laughing, running, and loving… while we build what comes next. Because in the end, the future is made like this: With chaos, mess… and a whole lot of love.

I always loved him in silence. Adrián Montenegro was my best friend—and my curse. Loving him while knowing his heart belonged to someone else was my greatest punishment. By arrangement, we ended up married… without love, without promises, just a deal that forced me to pretend it didn’t hurt to have him so close and yet so far at the same time. Over time, his presence became my necessity. Every glance, every shared night made me believe I could earn his love—that maybe we could build a family together. My mother used to say love is something you fight for, and I fought with everything I had… until I forgot myself. But fate was cruel. She woke up, and in his eyes I saw the truth I had always tried to deny: he had never stopped loving her.

What does a woman need to be happy? To love and be loved? Yes, and also for your man to look at you with adoration, not looking for flaws and not dreaming of remaking you to the standards of modern beauty, because you are the only one and the most desirable for him; so that you can lean on his caring shoulder and sometimes feel weak and small next to him, enjoying his attention and tenderness. When I got married, I thought I would be happy. But my heart was wrong... And now I don't know if I have the courage to trust my feelings again, because this guy is ready to go all in, and his frankness leaves me speechless every time, dumbfounded by his charisma, sharp mind and unsurpassed humor.
