The Night Everything Ended
The rain poured heavily over the quiet streets of Manila.
Maria Santos stood outside the hospital, her hands trembling as she stared at the divorce papers in front of her.
Twenty years.
Twenty years of sacrifice.
And now it ended like this.
"I never loved you," her husband said coldly.
The words echoed inside her mind like a knife cutting deeper and deeper.
She had worked overseas for years, sending every peso she earned back home.
For him.
For their family.
For the future she believed they were building together.
But tonight she discovered the truth.
Another woman.
A younger one.
Maria felt her knees weaken.
Everything she believed in had shattered.
