Yet, as the weight of his decision settled upon him, a bitter expression contorted his face.
His gaze shifted to Riley, beseeching her with pleading eyes, his voice thick with remorse.
âRiley, please for the sake of our marriage, let me go.
Iâve come to realize my grievous mistakes this time.
â
Adamâs gaze lingered on Riley, his mind drifting back to the days when their love was still alive, a wistful nostalgia coloring his features.

Your music captured my heart and Iâve been ensnared ever since.

Rileyâs lips thinned, and a deafening silence enveloped the air.
A wistful smile danced across Adamâs face, his words flowing with a bittersweet tinge.

â
Riley couldnât resist glancing sideways.

âYes.
Our relationship has reached its end.
