Ava’s marriage to Peter was far from the picture-perfect life she had envisioned. While their relationship had its fair share of ups and downs, she struggled to let go of him, even when her instincts warned her something was wrong. One night, however, Ava’s suspicions were confirmed in the most painful way possible—Peter had been unfaithful.

It was nearly midnight when Peter finally came home, exhausted and sweaty, claiming he’d been working late on a project. But Ava could tell something was off. Over the past few weeks, Peter had grown distant, and his behavior was becoming increasingly suspicious. Determined to uncover the truth, Ava decided to follow him the next day. Although she doubted her decision and felt guilty for not trusting her husband, her intuition pushed her forward.

The next day, as she discreetly trailed behind Peter, her heart raced. He didn’t head to the office like he’d claimed. Instead, he stopped at a house, knocking on the door. When a well-dressed woman answered and greeted Peter with a hug, Ava’s heart sank. The truth she feared became undeniable—Peter was having an affair.

Shattered by the betrayal, Ava reflected on her marriage. The man she thought she knew felt like a stranger, a completely different person from the one she had loved and trusted. Despite the heartache, she knew she couldn’t let this go unaddressed. That evening, when Peter came home late once again, Ava confronted him directly. “Are you having an affair?” she asked, hoping for an answer that wouldn’t confirm her worst fear. But Peter didn’t deny it. Instead, he admitted to falling in love with someone else. What began as a one-night stand had evolved into something much more meaningful for him. He confessed he still loved Ava but claimed he was also in love with the other woman.

Adding salt to her wounds, Peter blamed Ava for the affair, accusing her of being cold and unsupportive. His harsh words cut deep, and Ava realized she had reached her breaking point. “I want a divorce,” she told him, but Peter refused. He didn’t want to let go of Ava, despite his infidelity, and he grew aggressive, threatening never to sign any divorce papers.

That night, Ava cried herself to sleep, overwhelmed by the weight of her situation. The thought of living with Peter, knowing he loved someone else, was unbearable. The next morning, when she woke up, Peter was gone. He had taken everything—money, valuables, even his passport. In disbelief, Ava drove to Peter’s mother’s house. There, she was met with anger and accusations. Peter’s mother, Martha, blamed Ava for the collapse of the marriage and for her son’s decision to flee the country.

Days passed without any word from Peter. His phone was off, and he didn’t respond to any of Ava’s messages. Just when she began to lose hope, Ava stumbled across shocking news—a plane had crashed, and both Peter and his lover were listed among the victims. As she tried to process the news of Peter’s death, there was a knock at the door. Martha stood there, blaming Ava once again for her son’s death.

Two years later, Ava’s life had somewhat stabilized, but the scars of her past remained. During a routine grocery trip, she spotted a man who bore a striking resemblance to Peter. Her heart raced as she tried to catch his attention, but the man didn’t respond. Confused, she followed him and was shocked to see Martha appear as well. When the man finally turned around, he admitted he was Peter and revealed that he had survived the plane crash, stolen Ava’s money, and started a new life with Martha’s help.

Feeling utterly betrayed, Ava confronted Peter, but he grew violent, locking her in his basement. Days later, Martha helped her escape, but Ava crashed the car as she fled. The accident led police to Peter, who was eventually arrested. Ava’s testimony became crucial in his conviction, allowing her to finally close the chapter on a painful part of her life and start anew.
