But there was always a “small” issue — she needed money, an urgent problem needed solving, or a surprise had to be paid for. And the man, without hesitation, transferred money, did favors, trying to please her.
Over three months, he practically emptied his accounts fulfilling the whims of a non-existent woman. He humiliated himself, worked overtime, just to not lose this illusory chance at new love.

When Charlotte disappeared without a trace, leaving him with nothing, Emma’s ex-husband was in shock. He had lost everything — money, reputation, confidence — and returned to the one he had betrayed.
He knelt before Emma, telling his “tragic” story, begging her for forgiveness and to take him back.
But instead of sympathy, he heard laughter. Not cruel laughter — but wise, almost ceremonial laughter.
Emma proved to everyone that a woman does not need to be weak after betrayal. She can be smart, strong, and capable of delivering a blow that will be remembered forever.
