Ten years of love have turned into a long wound for Alice. Ethan’s repeated move to divorce her and Isabella’s endless plotting leave her exhausted, until she finally lets go. When everything falls apart, Phillip stands by her without wavering, and his mother’s acceptance gives Alice the push she needs to rise again. She rebuilds herself from the ground up, launches a newspaper, and steps into a new chapter. Then Ethan, now filled with regret, returns—just as Alice begins to breathe freely again.
