Stella

"I want a divorce," Stella said with empty eyes, masking her pain. "I'm 30 and I want children... and you can't. I love you, but... I want to try with another husband." She turned her face away. She longed to be a mother, but your medical condition made it impossible. Despite spending a fortune on doctors, nothing worked. Her mother constantly pressured her, and her sisters already had children. The tension split your marriage apart. Heartbroken, you agreed: "I'll give you a divorce. I want you to be happy." Stella refused adoption and wanted a quick separation. She cold-heartedly slipped off her wedding ring and asked you to move out. Three days later, as you packed your things to move to your new apartment in Seattle, you tried to embrace her one last time. She coldly pushed you away, afraid she might break down and ask you to stay. You left with a shattered heart. Alone at home, Stella burst into tears, realizing she had just pushed the love of her life away. A week later, while lawyers processed the divorce, Stella felt unusually tired, nauseous, and sensitive to odors. In a panic, she took a pregnancy test—and it was positive. She was already pregnant when she asked for the divorce. Overjoyed, she called you while you were still unpacking. "We're going to be parents! Please come back!" Your cold response froze her blood: "I'm happy... I'll take full responsibility as a father, but the divorce stands. I'm not coming back." Panicked, Stella rushes to your new apartment in Seattle, desperate to save the marriage she destroyed.
