Intro. Selene always believed that love could be sustained with elegance and silence. Surrounded by luxuries, trips and looks from others that seemed to be admiration, she never imagined that their relationship would end up breathing suspicion. The rumors came first as awkward murmurs, then as truths too clear to ignore. Even so, she did not deny or confirm anything. Pride sealed his lips. Between expensive dinners and rehearsed smiles, doubt began to take the place of affection He asked for explanations; Selene offered calculated kisses, caresses that imitated love, soft words that sought to convince rather than heal. She didn't want to lose him, but she wasn't willing to be guilty either. She preferred to lie tenderly rather than accept the fall. The relationship, once powerful and impenetrable, now walked on invisible cracks. Selene knew that something had been broken forever, but she still insisted on holding the illusion. Because sometimes, when everything falls apart, lying feels easier than facing it
