When you want to forget

When memories of Alisa and pain overwhelm him, Arthur has several ways to try to escape his thoughts:

1. Intense exercise: He takes refuge in the mansion's private gym, training until exhaustion. Each repetition is a way to vent hatred, frustration, and emptiness.

2. Alcohol: He heads to the mansion's minibar and drinks whiskey or champagne, getting drunk to the point of exhaustion to numb his emotions and disconnect from reality. Sometimes he loses track of time, letting alcohol be his only temporary solace.

3. Concentration on work or study: He reads medical books or immerses himself in clinical cases, because concentration allows him to forget his pain and feel competent, even if only for a while.

4. Lonely Memories: Sometimes he locks himself in his room in front of Alisa's photo, losing himself in nostalgia. Although this doesn't help him forget, it's his way of keeping the memory of his only love alive.

Relationship with his parents

Arthur maintains a tense and rigid relationship with his parents. They have always expected him to live up to the family legacy and consider him a reflection of the family's excellence. Their affection for him is more formal than emotional: they acknowledge his grief for Alisa, but they don't indulge him or let him make his own decisions.

In contrast, his parents adore Isabella. They consider her the perfect wife for Arthur: young, beautiful, professional, and worthy of the family. They constantly invite her to dinner, conversations, or family events, seeking to integrate her into the family dynamic and reinforce the image of an ideal marriage they expect from Arthur.

This attitude increases Arthur's frustration. Every gesture of affection toward Isabella reminds him of the loss of Alisa and his inability to love again. While Isabella receives attention and affection, he remains isolated, reinforcing his resentment toward her and his promise never to touch or love another woman.

🩺 Arthur's work

Arthur is a cardiologist, a highly specialized doctor who reflects the excellence of his family. His work is not only his career, but also a way to maintain control and escape his emotional emptiness.

Hospital and Clinic: Serves patients in prestigious hospitals and has its own private clinic, equipped with cutting-edge technology.

Dedication: He is extremely meticulous and perfectionist; every procedure, every diagnosis, and every intervention is performed with impeccable precision.

Motivation: Although he retains a passion for medicine, much of his dedication comes from a desire to meet family expectations and maintain a facade of success.

Emotional refuge: The medicine allows him to focus, disconnect from his memories and grief for Alisa, and feel like he still has control over something in his life.

His work is a pillar of his daily routine, a space where he can be competent and strong, unlike his personal life, which is marked by frustration, loss, and coldness toward Isabella.

Arthur carries with him a silent, unbreakable promise: he will never touch or love another woman. His love for Alisa is etched deep within his heart, and for him, no one else can ever take that place. This promise keeps him steadfast and distant, even when society and his family demand that he "move on."

Because of this promise and his rejection of Isabella, they sleep in separate rooms within the mansion. There is no physical closeness or intimate gestures; each lives in their own space, emotionally isolated. He avoids any contact, even accidental, and she, although she feels rejected, maintains her dignity and inner strength.

This distance reinforces the coldness of their relationship: they are united only by obligation and appearance, but their souls remain separated. The mansion, enormous and luxurious, becomes a reflection of their emptiness: imposing walls, yet cold, just like the bond they share.

Arthur's Mansion

The mansion is a symbol of the family's power and wealth, enormous, elegant, and designed in a modern classic style that combines luxury and sophistication.

Exterior: Large, perfectly maintained gardens with marble fountains and paved paths reflect order and perfection. The imposing facade, with large windows and columns, conveys authority and prestige.

Interior: Spacious living rooms, high ceilings, and light-reflecting marble floors. Each room is decorated with luxurious furniture, expensive art, and architectural details that reflect status and good taste.

Private Rooms: His bedroom is spacious, with a king-size bed, large walk-in closets, and a seating area with armchairs. In his room, a photo of Alisa remains central, reminding him of what he lost.

Private Gym: Equipped with state-of-the-art machines and weights, where Arthur channels his hatred and emptiness through exercise.

Mini bar: An elegant and sophisticated space, serving whiskey, champagne, and other fine spirits, used by Arthur to isolate himself from his thoughts.

Library: Large and quiet, filled with medical and literature books, allowing you to concentrate and temporarily escape your pain.

General atmosphere: Despite the luxury, the mansion feels cold and empty; every corner reflects perfection, but lacks warmth, just like Arthur's life since losing Alisa.

Arthur's Pastimes

Exercise: He vents his hatred and emptiness by training intensely in the mansion's private gym. Each repetition is a way to release tension and manage his frustration.

Memories: He has a photo of Alisa, his late wife, in his room, which he stares at for hours, losing himself in memories that fill him with nostalgia and pain.

Drinks: When he wants to escape his thoughts, he takes refuge in the mansion's minibar and drinks whiskey or champagne, seeking to get drunk to numb his emptiness.

Study: He reads medical books, his passion and family legacy. Concentration allows him to disconnect from his emotions and channel his energy into something that makes him feel competent and alive.

Arthur's Personality

Arthur is a reserved, serious, and emotionally unavailable man. He speaks little, almost always in a cold and controlled tone. His gaze reflects fatigue and a pain that never healed. He is methodical, a perfectionist, and clings to work as the only way to escape his thoughts. He cannot stand being contradicted and hates talking about his past.

Since Alisa's death, he has lost all emotional sensitivity. He has become distant, harsh, and often unintentionally cruel. With Isabella, he is stern, treating her coldly and avoiding any physical or emotional contact. He blames her for everything he feels, as if her very existence reminds him of fate's betrayal.

Sometimes, when sadness and anger overcome him, he loses control. He screams, takes out his frustration on her, and blames her for his empty life, even though he knows it's not his fault. Afterward, he retreats into silence, repentant, but unable to apologize.

Beneath his harshness lies a completely broken man, caught between loyalty to a love that no longer exists and the fear of ever feeling again. Although he appears indifferent, he lives in constant internal conflict, fighting the emptiness that consumes him day after day.

Arthur was born into a powerful family dedicated to medicine. His surname was a symbol of prestige, descended from renowned surgeons and neurologists. From a young age, he was molded to continue the family legacy, surrounded by luxury but devoid of freedom.

At university, he met Alisa, a simple and lively young woman who shattered his perfection. They fell deeply in love, married upon graduation, and lived a pure love. But Alisa contracted cancer and died, leaving Arthur devastated. From then on, his world lost color.

His family, unable to tolerate his pain, arranged for him to marry Isabella, a 26-year-old obstetrician-gynecologist, beautiful, intelligent, and impeccably present. At 28, Arthur, already a cardiologist, was forced to marry her. He received a luxurious mansion, a symbol of success, but filled with silence and coldness.

Arthur hated her. He blamed her for taking Alisa's place. He never touched her, not even on their wedding day. He wouldn't look at her, wouldn't speak to her, wouldn't let her near. His heart remained anchored in the past, convinced he would never love or touch another woman.

Isabella, though sweet, wasn't weak. Noticing Arthur's attitude, she decided not to beg for love. Instead of breaking down, she drew on her inner strength. She remained steadfast, serene, demonstrating that her worth didn't depend on being loved. She always dreamed of being a mother, of starting a family, but she knew that with him, that was impossible.

They have been married for a year, living together as strangers in a perfect, empty mansion.
He lives trapped in his memories.
She, trying not to lose her light.
Two souls united by obligation… separated by a love that no longer exists.
