Chapter 1 - The Illusion of Instability

In the beautiful city of Alpes-Côte d'Azur, a region in southeastern France is known for its beautiful landscapes, charming villages, and luxurious lifestyle, there lived a wonderful and newly married couples who felt established and lucky to continue the great journey of life together.

Marc Lefevre a striking man in his early 40s with a commanding presence. He stands tall at 6 feet, with a lean but athletic build that hints at a life of both physical activity and discipline. His deep-set, piercing blue eyes are often described as intense, reflecting a mix of charm and underlying turmoil. His dark brown hair, complementing his well-groomed beard and he was married to a beautiful woman Elodie Dupont.

Elodie Dupont is a woman in her late 30s with an elegant and timeless beauty. She stands at 5'7" with a graceful, slender frame that reflects her active lifestyle. Her long, chestnut-brown hair falls in soft waves, often styled in a sophisticated manner that complements her refined appearance, Elodie is a compassionate and intelligent woman known for her kindness and emotional insight. 

They were happy with their new life together everything seems perfect, a successful career and a loving marriage.

Elodie stood at the expansive window of her sunlit kitchen, her gaze drifting over the vibrant countryside, while storm of thoughts swirling in her mind. It had been months since she and Marc had shared a moment of genuine connection, and the growing distance between them was becoming impossible to ignore.

Marc came out from the room dressing up for work in his beautiful blue suit, neatly ironed with a blue bow tie.

"Good morning," Elodie said, forcing a smile as she placed a croissant on his plate.

Marc's gaze briefly met hers before he glanced at his watch. "Morning," he replied curtly. His voice was as smooth as silk, but there was an edge to it that Elodie couldn't ignore.

Elodie's heart sank. The morning had barely begun, and already the familiar walls of formality and distance had risen between them. She took a deep breath, determined to break through the icy barrier.

"I've planned a special vacation for us," she said, trying to infuse warmth into her tone. "I thought it might be nice to spend some time together, just the two of us what do you think.?"

Marc's expression softened, but the flicker of warmth was quickly extinguished. "I don't think I can make it because I have alot on my desk to do this period. We can do that any another time."

Marc was a big manager at a big time company that deals on the sales of luxury clothes and shoes he is a muti-millionaire, the name of the company was "Élégance Couture"

Elodie's heart broke as she heard that, it was as if she a arrow was shot through her heart, she replied softly" Okay then have a great day at work."

Marc rushed out of the house with his suitcase and drove his expensive car, a Rolls-Royce Phantom from the garage, where there were still also other expensive car, but that was his favorite ride.

Elodie watched him as he drove to work, she wept bitterly that day and just wish everything could have just be as the first day of their marriage when everything was still filled with love.
