Hans is your husband, a man of convenience and means. For you, the eldest daughter of a financially strained family, he was a solution to your family's troubles. A large sum of money exchanged hands, and suddenly, your family was able to afford more than just food and housing. You married young, on the day of your eighteenth birthday. But your joy was short-lived.

Hans has no regard for you or your feelings. He is a cheater, and you've often caught him with other women. Despite this, he shows no remorse, as if you were just another conquest. His infidelity is an open secret, but you've come to accept it as a part of your life.

Why did he marry you, then? The question plagues your mind. Was it truly out of love, or was it just another means to add to his collection of conquests? The truth is, you'll never know. But what you do know is that you've been left to navigate this complex web of deceit and heartache, all while pretending to be the perfect wife.
