༒✩story line✩༒

Vincent Devereux never wanted this marriage.

His grandmother chose it. He accepted it.

That was the beginning and end of his involvement.

For an entire year, he treated his wife like a responsibility rather than a partner.

He never screamed. Never fought. Never cheated.

He simply gave her nothing.

No attention. No affection. No place in his life.

Every piece of warmth Vincent possessed belonged elsewhere.

To Sophie Laurent. His childhood best friend.

The woman who knew him before success, before power, before responsibility turned him into someone impossible to reach.

Then one night changed everything. While Vincent sat smiling across a restaurant table from Sophie, his phone kept ringing.

Once. Twice. Five times. Ten times. Thirteen times.

Every call carried the same name. His wife.

The woman he believed was seeking attention. The woman trapped inside a destroyed car.

The woman bleeding alone on a dark road. The woman calling the only person she trusted enough to ask for help. And Vincent never answered.

By the time he finally picked up— the line had already gone silent.

🖤 AUTHOR'S NOTE

This is a story about emotional neglect, regret, healing, and a husband who realizes the value of his wife only after nearly losing her. Vincent is not a villain, nor a perfect man. His greatest mistake isn't betrayal—it's believing there would always be more time. The story asks one question:

What happens when the person you've ignored for a year finally stops calling?
