Sabrina’s POV
I stared at Nicholas sharply. “I won’t stop. Tomorrow, or the days after, you will continue to find those letters. Until you finally understand that I will not give up just because you refuse to let me go.”
Nicholas frowned, looking disturbed. I knew, maybe he was not used to seeing me insist like this. But I had made my decision. Every day, I would continue to file for divorce Every time he tore it up, I would make a new one, until finally he had no choice but to accept it.
I looked at him with determination.
“I want to live without this pain, Nicholas. If you can’t let me go, then be prepared to face my wishes every day, at every opportunity, until I am free.”
I turned around, walking away from him, even though I knew he was looking at me with an angry and disapproving look. But for the first time, I felt a ray of strength emerging from within me. The strength to fight for my right to happiness. I would continue to file those letters until the day he could no longer tear
them up.
After leaving Nicholas‘ room, I walked slowly towards my room. My feet felt heavy as if burdened by thousands of steps of hurt and disappointment that I had borne in silence. I had expressed everything, but still voicing my desire to separate made my heart feel like it was being torn apart.
As soon as I arrived in my room, I closed the door slowly and let the tears that I had been holding back finally fall. I moved to the edge of the bed, lowered my head, and bit my tip to hold back my sobs that were getting stronger. One hand covered my mouth, trying to hold back the sound as if that would stop the pain. But instead, all I felt was a deeper emptiness. 1
“I’m tired…” I whispered softly to myself as if trying to strengthen my fragile heart. “I’m really tired.”
This room, which should have been a comfortable and loving place, now felt foreign, cold, and painful. Every corner seemed to be a silent witness to all the bitter memories that I had to go through with Nicholas. I looked at the wedding ring on my trembling finger, my memory was thrown to the early days of our marriage to the hopes and dreams that I once thought could come true.
Slowly, I pulled the ring off my finger. As I stared at the small circle, my heart was cut again. “I’ve tried to love you sincerely,” I whispered to myself as if talking to the ring that was gleaming coldly in my hand. “But you never gave me a chance, Nicholas.”

I put the ring back on the table, right next to our happy wedding photo, although I don’t know since when it was just an empty shadow.
I sobbed harder, letting all my feelings spill out. This pain seemed endless. Loving Nicholas, trying to be a part of his life, trying to love Charlie like my own child, everything felt in vain now. Maybe I was stupid for continuing to hope, even though he never saw me as more than an empty shadow.
In the silence of this room, I sobbed, gripping the sheets with my trembling hands. There was no more energy left, only despair that was eating away little by little. I hoped there was something that could ease this pain, a ray of light or hope, even though I knew there was only one answer: I had to get out of this life full of pain.
When my
sobs began to subside, 1 wiped my tears with the back of my hand, trying to strengthen myself again. I don’t know when this will all end, but one thing I’m sure of is that I will survive, fighting for my freedom, even though I have to face Nicholas every day.
Slowly, I closed my eyes, hoping that at least tonight I could find peace in my sleep, even if only for a moment.

In the silence of the silent night, I felt such deep exhaustion. With every breath I took, the pain and despair still burned my heart. I tried to focus on my deep breaths, trying to calm the waves of emotions that hit my body.
In the darkness of the room, I felt like a warrior fighting a ver ending battle. I reflected on everything that had happened, everything I had felt so far. And in that reflection, I felt more determined to keep standing, to keep fighting for myself.
Even though I was full of wounds and despair, I still had strength inside me. I still had the fire of courage that was still burning, ready to fight the storm that was coming. I would not give up so easily, I would continue to fight.
With a strong determination, I found peace in my heart. I le myself fall asleep in my sleep, knowing that tomorrow would be a new day, a day where I would continue to fight for my freedom. I closed my eyes, hoping that tomorrow morning would bring new light, bring new strength and hope.
With a calm mind, I felt my body slowly drifting into a peaceful sleep, surrendering myself to dreams that would bring peace. I will stay strong; I will continue to survive even though the storm comes. I will rise because I know I am a fighter.
That morning, as I sat at the dining table with a cup of water and barely touched jam bread, I tried to control my surging emotions. All night, I couldn’t sleep; my mind was haunted by the never–ending conversation with Nicholas and by the love that was always unrequited. However, today, I was determined. I prepared the divorce papers again, and this time I put them on the dining table, night where he could see them.
Not long after, Nicholas came into the dining room with firm steps and a hard gaze. I didn’t look at him; I just looked down at my cup, feeling the tension that filled the room. As soon as he sat down, his eyes immediately fell on the document on the table, the divorce papers that were neatly in their place.
Nicholas froze for a moment, then took the letter roughly. With a dark expression, he glanced at me, his face full of anger. Without hesitation, he began to tear the letter into small pieces, scattering them on the table with angry movements. I swallowed, but I tried to keep my cool.
“How many times do I have to tell you, Sabrina?!” he hissed, his voice sharp. “Do you think you can just force your will on me?” Nicholas clenched his fists, his eyes narrowing sharply at me. “If you ever put a letter like this in again, I swear I’ll keep Charlie away from you. He’ll go with me and Hazel, and you’ll never see him again!”
I gasped, my chest feeling like it had been hit hard. The threat stabbed my heart, and suddenly I couldn’t hold myself back anymore.
‘Are you serious, Nicholas?” I asked softly, my voice shaking, but I looked him straight in the eye. 7
