For nine years, Dani believed she was in a loving marriage with Nathan—a bond forged right after high school that brought them together and blessed them with their lively daughter, Ellie. However, over time, cracks appeared in their relationship. Nathan started to criticize Dani’s appearance and accused her of neglecting Ellie, even though she worked from home. After many bitter arguments and growing distance between them, Dani agreed to Nathan’s proposal to move to another city for his new job, hoping that a change of scenery would revive their dwindling connection.
Initially, the move seemed like a chance for a fresh start. Nathan handled the logistics, even enrolling Ellie in a new school he’d carefully researched, and his demeanor grew noticeably kinder. But soon after the move, Ellie began coming home upset. One day, Dani found her daughter in tears, explaining that her teacher, Miss Allen, had told her she would be a better mother than Dani—and that Nathan had laughed at the remark.
That painful revelation forced Dani to confront the truth: Nathan had been having an affair with Miss Allen long before they moved, and Ellie had inadvertently overheard their conversation. In the wake of this betrayal, Dani confronted both Nathan and Miss Allen. Though Miss Allen denied any wrongdoing, the evidence was clear. Determined to protect Ellie, Dani transferred her daughter to a new school and ultimately chose to end their marriage, focusing her energy on rebuilding a secure and loving life for herself and her daughter.
