On our fifth dating anniversary, my boyfriend, Luke Bolton, gives me a cheap bracelet worth less than a hundred dollars. On the same night, he splurges ten million dollars on a yacht for his first love, Cindy Gale. I refuse to accept this, and he accuses me of making a scene. "I gave Cindy that gift to boost the company's stock price, not because I still have feelings for her," he says. "You're poor, and I still promised to marry you. Isn't that enough? This was actually your last test, Elisa Gray, but you failed it." I break up with him, and he immediately proposes to Cindy. Five years after that, we meet again at a luxury hotel during a business summit. His company is about to become an industry giant, and Cindy is holding onto his arm. When he sees me, I'm standing in a fountain, all drenched and disheveled. "Elisa," Luke sneers. "When you turned me down back then, did it ever cross your mind that you might end up worse than a homeless person? "Don't think acting pitiful here will make me feel sorry and take you back." I ignore him. My son's cherished blue diamond was a birthday gift from his father, and he accidentally dropped it into the fountain. He's so upset that he's about to cry, and I have to find it right away.

Five years ago, biomedical researcher Mara Ellison’s husband, Caleb Warren, was involved in an accident while on a business trip in Australia and was declared “missing.” Everyone told Mara that he was dead. Unable to cope with the loss, Mara once attempted to take her own life, but Caleb’s best friend, Julian Hayes, saved her and stayed by her side through the next three years of trauma and recovery. In the fourth year, Mara finally opened her heart to Julian, and the two began a relationship. In the fifth year, Mara discovered she was pregnant and planned to surprise Julian with the news. Instead, she accidentally found evidence in his study revealing that Caleb had never died. He had already built a new family with Mara’s best friend, Sienna Brooks, and the two had a four-year-old daughter. As Mara continued investigating, she learned that Julian had known the truth from the very day he saved her five years earlier—and that even her own mother, Helen, had known all along. Everyone had helped maintain the lie for five years, all in the name of “protecting” her. After the truth came out, Mara lost the baby due to complications in early pregnancy. Caleb, Sienna, Julian, and Helen each eventually confessed what had really happened five years before. Mara finally understood that they had not lied to her only once. Every single day for the past five years, they had made the choice to keep deceiving her. In the end, Mara forgave none of them. She left the city, returned to work, rebuilt her life, and continued therapy, slowly freeing herself from her emotional dependence on Julian. A year later, when Mara saw Julian again, she no longer needed his explanations. At the end of the story, she buys a pair of white baby shoes in memory of the child she lost and writes on the card, “Mommy remembers you.” Only then does she truly understand that the person who finally pulled her out of the ruins was herself.
