The sun rose over a quiet town, calm on the surface, while tension gathered beneath it. On the grand steps of a luxury hotel, a wedding was about to begin. The groom, Victor Hale, stood in a flawless tuxedo, greeting wealthy guests with practiced confidence. As he prepared to marry Isabella, he carried a private sense of victory—one last, silent triumph over someone from his past: his former wife, Clara.
Years earlier, Clara had been the foundation of Victor’s life. She worked long days and sleepless nights, set aside her own dreams, and stood beside him when he had nothing. When success finally came, gratitude disappeared. Clara became a reminder of struggle Victor wanted erased, and leaving her behind felt easy. Shortly after the divorce, Clara discovered she was pregnant—with triplets.
