What happens when the perfect wife realizes her marriage is nothing but a beautiful lie?
In the seventh year of their secret marriage, Adeline stumbled upon her husband posing for wedding photos with her best friend—while her son stood nearby, clapping and cheering...
-
Seven years ago, Adeline walked away from a promising medical future for love and quietly married billionaire Luke.
She gave herself entirely to her family, built her world around her son Teddy, and asked for nothing in return. What she got instead was a distant husband, a hostile mother-in-law, and the humiliation of being called "the nanny" by her own child in front of others.
It wasn't until Luke's former lover, Ramona, returned in the spotlight that Adeline finally saw the truth.
The marriage she had spent years holding together had always been a lie she told herself.
When her feelings finally ran dry, Adeline signed the divorce settlement, took off her wedding ring, and walked away. She returned to the hospital she had once left behind and reclaimed the career she had sacrificed for seven years.
She was no longer the meek, self-effacing housewife. She had become someone the medical world looked up to.
Regret finally caught up with Luke only when he began to panic after losing her.
When he tried to win her back, Adeline gave him nothing but a calm, distant answer:
"Luke, you were the one who chose to let me go."
Only when she stopped loving him did he finally understand what love really meant.
