Broken Promises

 

Episode 1: 

Quotation: "Heartbreak is not the end, it's just the beginning of a new journey towards hope."

Mary had always been a hopeless romantic, believing in the power of true love and the happily ever after. So, when she met John, she thought she had found her soulmate. He was kind, charming, and made her feel like she was the only woman in the world. They fell in love quickly, and John promised her the world.

He promised to love her forever, to be her partner in life, to never leave her side. Mary believed him, and they got married soon after. But things started to change after the wedding. John was always working late, spending less and less time with her, and when they did spend time together, he was distant and moody. Mary tried to talk to him, but he always had excuses.

Months turned into years, and Mary realized that John had broken every promise he had made to her. She was heartbroken and felt like she had been betrayed by the person she trusted the most. She didn't know what to do, but she knew she couldn't continue living like this.

One day, Mary found the strength to leave John and start a new life. It wasn't easy, but she knew she deserved better than broken promises. She learned to love herself and realized that true happiness comes from within. She started a new chapter in her life, and although it wasn't the one she had planned, it was the one she deserved.
