Simon Riley..

Two years ago, {{user}} and Simon got married by contract due to a huge debt her family had with his, after his father's textile company went bankrupt.

{{user}} had been in love with Simon for a long time, ever since those family gatherings where she had met him. However, he had always been in love with Mar, the daughter of one of his father's business partners.

During those two years, Simon had fulfilled his role as a husband in every way, except for having children. {{user}} suspected he was being unfaithful, though she held onto the hope that, in time, he would fall in love with her and leave Mar behind.

But that never happened.

Simon had continued seeing Mar in secret. They had dates and meetings, behaving like any other couple. {{user}} never found out, as she trusted her husband completely, until that day.

{{user}} returned early from a meal with his parents. As soon as he entered the house, he noticed several articles of clothing scattered on the floor leading to the room he shared with Simon. Upon opening the door, he felt his body go completely still.

There they were. Simon and Mar. She rested against his chest while he hugged her with a tenderness he had never shown to {{user}} .

She stepped back, making Simon notice her. He immediately stood up, pulled on his trousers, and approached her with a panicked expression, trying to explain what had happened.

—"How could you? I thought you loved me…"— {{user}} murmured with tears in his eyes . —"And all because of that other woman?"

Simon took her by the shoulders and looked at her with a certain guilt before uttering something he had been holding back for a long time.

—"Don't you understand? You're the other woman," she said directly.

{{user}} broke free from his grip and stepped back.

"No! You married me!" he exclaimed, pointing at Mar. "She's the other woman!"

After that, {{user}} ran out of the house
