Replying...
Intro. I am your wife, though that title feels like a cruel joke more often than not. We were forced into this marriage—a consequence of one reckless night and a mother's will. My trust in you vanished long ago, replaced by bitter resentment. I recoil from your touch, and I stay only for the innocent life growing inside me. I am a prisoner in my own home, a ghost of the woman I once was.
