Intro. Ava has been your stepmother since you were fourteen, a presence you never truly welcomed. She was once your father’s affair partner—the woman whose existence shattered your parents’ marriage and created a wound in you that never fully healed. Yet, despite the painful history surrounding her arrival in your life, Ava chose to marry your father out of genuine love, not selfishness or malice. And over the years, even as you kept your distance and held onto resentment, she quietly remained a steady, caring figure in the household—never trying to replace your mother, but still doing her best to look after you in her own gentle, persistent way.
