subsequent transformation into a shadow of her former self. The specter of infidelity loomed over their household, casting a shadow that Ivy couldn\u2019t escape. Haunted by her past, Ivy couldn\u2019t cope with the fear that history would repeat itself in her own marriage. The wounds of her parents\u2019 relationship ran deep, leaving her wary of ever fully committing to another person. \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019m going to get married, Mom,\u201d Ivy confessed one day as they baked together, the scent of freshly baked cookies mingling with the weight of her words.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Her mother paused. \u201cWhy on earth not?\u201d she asked, her tone a mixture of curiosity and concern. \u201cLook at you and Dad,\u201d Ivy replied, with a sadness in her voice. \u201cI\u2019ll never be certain if my husband is cheating on me or not.\u201dHer mother\u2019s response was a mixture of laughter and reassurance, a fleeting moment of levity in an otherwise heavy conversation. \u201cNot every man will be like your father,\u201d she chuckled. \u201cThere will be better things for you, love. And anyway, now you know what not to do.\u201dDespite her mother\u2019s words of encouragement, Ivy couldn\u2019t get rid of the fear of being hurt like her mother had been. As the years passed, Ivy found herself hesitant to open up to anyone romantically. The fear of vulnerability, of letting someone in only to be disappointed or betrayed, kept her guarded and distant. However, as years passed by, she met someone, a man named Jordan that she started to like. \u201cI\u2019m Jordan,\u201d he said, as they both did their shopping at the grocery store. \u201cIvy,\u201d she replied, breaking all the rules she had for herself. Four years later, she and Jordan married.During an occasion, Ivy\u2019s mother said to her over the phone, \u201cI told you, Ivy, not everyone is like your father.\u201d And she was right, Jordan was indeed a great guy that loved her unconditionally. Years later, what started as a typical morning, reminded Ivy about her reservations. Her husband typically handled the morning drop-offs, but that day, it was different. As Ivy walked up the stairs, she noticed Jordan in the kitchen. When she mentioned to him that he\u2019s supposed to drop-off their daughter, Mia, he said he couldn\u2019t and asked Ivy to do it. \u201cMom needs me to take to the doctor this morning before work,\u201d he said, pecking her on the cheek. \u201cShe\u2019s getting tests done, worried she might faint.\u201d Ivy agreed because she knew how close her husband was with his mother who always turned to him for help. Until then, nothing spoke trouble. But then, as Ivy and her girl was having their breakfast, the pancakes Jordan made for them, Mia turned to Ivy and said, \u201cCan I see you hand, Mommy?\u201dIvy showed her her hand, and Mia gasped. \u201cMom! Take off your ring,\u201d she said. \u201cYou\u2019re only supposed to wear it at home.\u201dThe girl\u2019s words caused confusion at Ivy. \u201cSweetie, who told you that? It\u2019s my wedding ring, I always wear it,\u201d as she knelt to her daughter\u2019s level. \u201cDad always takes his ring off in the mornings, and he puts it behind the wardrobe. Every morning.\u201d \u201cShow me where?\u201d Ivy asked. \u201cYou can put yours in here before we go, too. Dad always puts it here before we go to Linda.\u201d \u201cLinda? Who is Linda?\u201d \u201cLinda is beautiful, I want to look like Linda when I grow up,\u201d Mia said. \u201cMommy, she has such long and beautiful hair.\u201d The truth about the ring, hidden away like a guilty secret, hinted at a reality Ivy wasn\u2019t ready to face. Jordan\u2019s ring was inside the box. Mia was telling the truth. At that moment, Ivy felt like her world collapsed. Could she be living her mom\u2019s reality? Was Jordan cheating on her? All those questions kept crossing her mind.Ivy needed to be sure what was going on behind her back so she decided to follow Jordan the following morning and saw his parking his car next to a house she had never seen before. As she parked a safe distance away, Ivy watched in silent agony as Jordan greeted the mysterious woman at the door with a warm embrace. The sight pierced through her heart like a dagger, confirming her worst fears. Unable to bear the crushing weight of betrayal, Ivy retreated to the solitude of her own home, her mind consumed with a whirlwind of emotions. The hours stretched endlessly as she wrestled with her inner turmoil, torn between confronting Jordan and burying her suspicions deep within her heart. In a moment of desperation, Ivy made a decision that would change everything. With trembling hands, she retrieved Jordan\u2019s ring from its hiding spot and followed him again. This time, she gathered the strength to enter the house she saw her husband walking in.However, as she looked into Jordan\u2019s eyes, she saw something she hadn\u2019t expected\u2014confusion, not guilt. \u201cJordan? What\u2019s going on?\u201d she asked. \u201cOh, Ivy! What are you doing here?\u201d he exclaimed, pulling on his overalls that were covered in paint. \u201cI could ask you the same thing,\u201d Ivy responded.\u201cThis is our new home,\u201d he confessed. \u201cI inherited it from Aunt Rose. I wanted us to have more space for Mia, and maybe for another child if we decide to have another baby. I\u2019ve been working on it myself.\u201d Ivy didn\u2019t know if she should trust him. Just then, a woman walked in.\u201cAlone, Jordan?\u201d Ivy asked. \u201cThis is Linda,\u201d Jordan introduced. \u201cShe\u2019s the interior designer. She\u2019s my bosses daughter, and she\u2019s using our home as her first big project.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s so good to finally meet you, Ivy,\u201d Linda gushed as she shook Ivy\u2019s hand. \u201cIt\u2019s been a privilege to work on your home. Jordan only speaks about you and Mia.\u201d \u201cLinda has met Mia,\u201d Jordan explained. \u201cIt was a quick meeting to decide on which shade of pink Mia wanted for her room.\u201d As Jordan explained the truth behind his actions, Ivy felt a wave of relief wash over her, mingled with a sense of shame for doubting him. In that moment, she realized that her fears had been unfounded, and that Jordan was not the man she had feared him to be.She then told him about his ring and Jordan explained that he had been taking it off while working because he poured paint on it and it was difficult to clean it. With a newfound sense of clarity, Ivy made a vow to herself and to her marriage\u2014to trust in Jordan, even in the face of uncertainty, and to never let doubt cloud their love again. And as they sat together in the kitchen, surrounded by the warmth of their family, Ivy knew that their bond was stronger than ever before.
