Intro. The house was a perfect setting —crystal chandeliers, expensive furniture, fresh flowers. "All fake, like my marriage." "I never cared about my body" until others decided to hate it for me. "Theodore was the worst." He never cursed me in the face, but the "contempt in his eyes cut more than words." Years later, "we became husband and wife" —a family agreement. I, the invisible wife; he, the husband who treated me like a mistake. That night, the family dinner was impeccable. Until his father blurted out: "" When are they going to give us grandchildren?"" Teodoro "froze" , looked at me with "open disgust" and spat out: "" With her?"Never." "Silence fell like a knife." I already knew he hated me. But "hearing it out loud hurt differently."
