Chapter 1 Divorce Letter

"What?"

Nara's breath caught as she realized the existence of a letter that she had not expected. With trembling hands, she began to open the letter and read it through until tears fell from her eyes.

"Divorce papers? This is impossible! How could Evan divorce me without my knowledge? What's my fault?" She muttered in disbelief as she read the letter for the second time.

Nara's tears fell even harder as she realized this reality was not a nightmare. She doesn't know what other bad luck has befallen her, until at this moment her hand is holding a divorce letter from a man who just married her two months ago.

"No! I can't just believe it! I have to ask for confirmation directly from Evan!" Nara thought, wiping away her tears.

She got up from her seat and went to look for her cell phone in the room. Nara was still trying to think positively, until her footsteps stopped when there was a knock on the door from outside.

"Evan? Yes, it must be Evan coming home!" Nara said excitedly as she ran to her door.

Nara tried to put on her best smile to welcome her husband home, hoping that she could have a good talk with Evan. But unfortunately, the man who knocked on her door was not the man she expected. Her eyes rounded as she met the stares of her uninvited guests.

"I'm sorry, what's going on?" Nara took a step back. Her courage dropped instantly as a large man with many tattoos walked up to her.

"Is this really Evan and Nara's house?"

"Yes, it is. Nara is myself, and Evan is my husband. What's the matter?"

"We're going to seize this house! Your husband has borrowed some money from the bank and can't repay it. So from tomorrow, you and your husband can no longer live in this place!"

Like a bolt of lightning in the middle of the day, Nara's strength was shattered. Just moments ago, her mind had been shaken by the sudden divorce papers, and now she was faced with an equally difficult situation.

"This is the remaining payment that you need to pay immediately!" said the bald-headed man, handing over proof of the amount of money that Evan had to pay immediately.

"A hundred million?" Nara asked incredulously.

"Yes, that's right! That's the combined amount of your husband's remaining debt plus interest!"

Nara was breathing heavily. Instantaneously, the corners of her eyes became wet again. She felt dizzy and claustrophobic at the same time. Now it was not only her hands that were trembling, but also her mouth. Nara bit her lip hard, trying to hold back the explosion of tears. But unfortunately, she failed.

"Please don't kick me out of this place, Sir!" She begged, tears falling from her eyes. "Evan hasn't been home in over a month, because he's working in the capital." She continued with a pitying look in his eyes.

"Sorry, we're just doing our job. The certificate of this house is already in our hands, and maybe for more details you can ask your own husband directly," said the man not wanting to argue, and immediately invited his friends to leave the place.

Nara's tears broke out. She fell back against the door, her hands covering her face. Nara had no idea what was happening to Evan, her mind was already in turmoil.

Why did trouble suddenly hit her in quick succession? What did she do wrong to Evan that he would make her like this? The more she thought about it, the more her tears spilled over. Nara felt that she couldn't go on like this, so she finally mustered up the strength to leave.

"Yes, I think I need to find out Evan's address in capital! I need to see him soon, before those loan sharks come back to this house!"

With difficulty, Nara rummaged through the contents of her husband's closet. Even though parts of her body still felt weak, she searched for all of Evan's details. She missed nothing, until her eyes accidentally caught sight of a small book with a pen scribbled in front of it.

"Jasmine Street, Number 30A. There's no mistaking it, Evan must be in this place right now!" said Nara, who immediately tore off the paper and put it in her purse.

At seven in the morning the next day, Nara quickly boarded a bus traveling towards the capital. As she sat, Nara never stopped squeezing the hem of the shirt she was wearing. She was too scared, as this was the first time she was leaving her hometown alone. Nara had never traveled far at all, as she was too focused on taking care of her father who had been ill for months.

"Welcome to the capital!"

Nara was stunned and immediately looked around. After a long journey, she finally reached her destination. So she got off the bus and started asking the people there for the address.

"Wow, this address is still far away! You have to take some public transportation to get there." The person said this, which immediately made Nara check the contents of her wallet.

She only had a few bills left, as Evan had never sent her any money. That was the rest of his savings, most of which had been spent on hospital treatment and his father's funeral expenses.

"I'll just write down here the names of public transportation and their numbers. Hopefully you'll find your husband soon!" The man said this as he returned the piece of paper he had shown her and went on his way.

"Thank you, Sir!"

Nara followed the instructions that the man had written on the paper. She began to board one public transportation and connected with another without fear, even though she was now in a very unfamiliar place.

"Jasmine Street!" She said it softly as she looked at the street sign in front of her.

In the middle of her steps, Nara frowned slightly. She looked confused when she saw several cars parked on the side of the road. Nara hesitantly walked around again, looking for Evan's house. Until finally her steps immediately stopped, along with the sight of a tent with very stomping and heartbreaking writing.

"No! This can't be!"
