About

From a young age, she was like a delicate piece of sugar, innocent and meek, but her bad luck threw her into the hell of a terrifying marriage to John. That cold man who knew no way to find warmth, and who never gave her a look of love or appreciation. Rather, he was cruel, dry, and did not share a bed or affection with her. Worse than his coldness was his family, which was a constant target of insult and contempt. Whenever she went down to eat, they deliberately insulted her and directed harsh and hurtful words at her, out of jealousy of her and her tenderness. To make matters worse, the day John brought his mistress, whom he loved madly, to share the palace with them, he married her and moved her in with them. The house turned into complete hell; His family, which hated the first wife, loved the second and became attached to her, and began making unfair comparisons between her and that strong and domineering lover, while she was content to suffer in silence. The new mistress was a rude and evil woman who was skilled at creating problems and scandals with her for no reason. When the crisis erupted, everyone stood together against her, while John adhered to absolute silence. It is not a weakness on his part, but rather because he simply does not care about her and does not love her at all, contenting himself with showering his mistress with gifts and luxury purchases and depriving her of even the most basic rights. On a fateful night, the harshest forms of injustice became clear. Everyone was sitting at the big dinner table, and she was eating her food quietly, and in much smaller quantities than anyone at the table. But, as usual, they were lurking for her and looking for any imaginary mistake to tear her apart. As soon as their eyes focused on her, they launched a torrent of cruel ridicule, accusing her of becoming fat and bearish, and that her lust for food disrespected herself. She remained silent and John sat silently, as usual, indifferently, all of them unaware of the bitter truth that she was hiding behind the paleness of her face. She was suffering from severe and dangerous anemia, a health condition that required her to eat carefully and in sufficient quantities, especially meat, to raise the level of iron in her dull blood and restore her meager strength. While they were bullying her delicate body, she was swallowing her pain with a bite of food, immersed in a world of cold oppression and deadly loneliness.
