Chapter 1 - after the divorce I became untouchable

I regret marrying her this was the words which shattered Samantha heart

Samantha a young beautiful girl who lived in the village with her grandmother,life was simple and she was known for her kindness and beauty.

One day,a rich young man from the city came to the village for an experiment .His name was Leo .at that time Samantha was 19years old while Leo was 27.

They met, and after spending time together, Samantha fell deeply in love with him. When Leo asked her to marry him, she was overjoyed. However, her mother strongly disagreed.

Her mother warned her, saying the man was not right for her and that she should not marry him because of money. But Samantha refused to listen. She believed love was enough.

Eventually, they got married.

At first, everything seemed perfect. Samantha believed she was living her dream life—married into wealth and surrounded by luxury.

But behind closed doors, her marriage was empty.

Leo barely showed her love or attention. Samantha tried her best—cooking for him, caring for him, and doing everything a good wife would do—but nothing changed.

She often begged for his attention, but he treated her like a burden.

One day, someone from her past suddenly reappeared—her first love. Seeing him again made her realize what real love once felt like.

As time went on, Samantha began to feel lost and emotionally drained.

Then one day, she overheard Leo speaking on the phone. He said,

"I regret marrying her. She will never compare to the woman I truly loved."

At that moment, Samantha's heart broke completely.Samantha stood frozen outside the study door.

Her fingers tightened around the tray she was holding, the cup of tea trembling slightly as Leo's voice continued from inside the room.

"I regret marrying her."

The words echoed in her ears, louder than they should have been. For a moment, she thought she had misheard him. Maybe she misunderstood. Maybe he was talking about someone else.

But then he spoke again.

"She can never compare to her… not even close."

Samantha's breath hitched.

Her chest tightened painfully, as if someone had reached inside and squeezed her heart without mercy. The hallway suddenly felt too small, too quiet, too suffocating.

She couldn't move.

She didn't want to move.

Because if she moved, it would mean this was real.

Inside the room, Leo let out a low sigh.

"I only married her because it was convenient," he said, his tone cold and careless. "There's nothing special about her."

Convenient.

Nothing special.

The tray slipped slightly in Samantha's hands, the teacup rattling against the saucer. She quickly steadied it, her hands shaking uncontrollably now.

Every word he said felt like a knife.

And the worst part?

He sounded so sure.

So certain.

Like he had never doubted it for even a second.

Tears blurred her vision, but she forced them back. She didn't want to cry here. Not outside his door. Not where he could hear her weakness.

Not for a man who clearly didn't care.

Slowly, carefully, Samantha stepped back.

One step.

Then another.

Each movement felt heavy, like her body was no longer her own. The warmth she once felt in this house had disappeared, replaced by a cold emptiness that crept into her bones.

She turned and walked down the hallway, her footsteps soft but uneven.

By the time she reached the bedroom, she could no longer hold it in.

The tray dropped onto the table with a soft thud as she stumbled backward, her legs giving out beneath her.

A sob escaped her lips.

Then another.

And another.

Soon, the quiet room was filled with the sound of her crying.

She didn't know how long she stayed like that.

Minutes? Hours?

Time didn't matter anymore.

All that mattered was the pain sitting heavily in her chest.

Samantha wiped her tears with trembling hands, her breathing uneven as she tried to calm herself. But every time she thought she was getting better, his words replayed in her mind again.

"I regret marrying her."

She let out a bitter laugh.

"So… that's how you feel," she whispered.

Her voice sounded small. Broken.

Slowly, she lifted her head and looked around the room.

The large bed.

The expensive furniture.

The beautiful decorations.

Everything looked perfect.

Everything looked like a dream.

But now… it felt like a prison.

Her gaze fell on the mirror across the room.

She stood up slowly and walked toward it.

The girl staring back at her looked nothing like the Samantha she used to know.

Her eyes were dull.

Her face looked tired.

There was no light in her anymore.

"Who… are you?" she murmured.

Where was the girl who used to smile so easily?

Where was the girl who believed in love?

Where was the girl who chose this life?

A tear slid down her cheek.

"I gave you everything…" she whispered, her voice trembling. "I tried so hard…"

She remembered all the nights she stayed up waiting for him.

All the meals she cooked, hoping he would smile.

All the times she tried to talk to him, only to be ignored.

And now she finally understood.

It was never enough.

Because to him…

She was never enough.

Samantha closed her eyes, taking a deep, shaky breath.

For the first time since she got married, something inside her began to change.

The pain was still there.

The heartbreak was still there.

But beneath it… something else was growing.

Something quiet.

Something strong.

She opened her eyes again and looked at her reflection.

This time, she didn't see just a broken girl.

She saw someone who had endured.

Someone who had tried.

Someone who deserved more.

Her fingers slowly curled into fists.

"No…" she said softly.

Her voice was still weak, but there was determination in it.

"No… I don't deserve this."

The words felt strange on her tongue, like something new she wasn't used to saying.

But they were true.

For the first time in a long time…

She chose herself.

A soft sound came from the hallway.

Footsteps.

Leo.

Samantha's body stiffened, but she didn't move away from the mirror.

The door opened.

She could feel his presence behind her, but she didn't turn around immediately.

"Why is the tea not in my study?" Leo asked, his voice calm, as if nothing had happened.

As if he hadn't just shattered her heart.

Samantha slowly turned to face him.

Their eyes met.

For a brief moment, something flickered across his face—surprise, maybe—but it disappeared just as quickly.

"You were on the phone," she said quietly.

Leo frowned slightly. "So?"

So? Samantha stared at him.

Was that all he had to say?

Was that all she meant to him?

Her heart ached, but this time, she didn't let it show as much.

"I heard what you said," she added.

There was a pause.

A small one.

But she noticed it.

Leo's expression hardened slightly.

"And?" he said.

Just one word.

Cold.

Unbothered.

Like her pain meant nothing.

Something inside Samantha cracked completely.

Not loudly.

Not dramatically.

But quietly.

Finally.

She took a slow breath.

"Do you really regret marrying me?" she asked.

Her voice was calm now.

Too calm.

Leo didn't answer immediately.

He looked at her, as if trying to decide something.

Then he spoke.

"Yes."

No hesitation.

No apology.

No guilt.

Just one simple word.

"Yes."

Samantha felt it.

That final piece of her heart… breaking.

But strangely—

She didn't cry.

Not this time.

Instead, she nodded slowly.

"I see," she said.

And for the first time…

Her voice didn't sound weak.

She turned away from him and walked toward the bed.

Leo watched her, slightly confused now.

"Aren't you going to say anything else?" he asked.

Samantha paused.

Then she spoke without turning back.

"No."

Another pause.

Then she added softly—

"But I will."

She walked past him.

Straight out of the room.

Leaving him standing there.

That night…

Samantha didn't sleep.

She sat by the window, staring into the darkness.

Thinking.

Remembering.

Understanding.

And by the time the sun began to rise…

Her decision was made.

She whispered into the quiet morning air—

"Maybe…"

Her lips curved slightly, not into a smile, but something close.

"Maybe it's time to leave."
