In a quiet, private room of the restaurant, the sound of shattering glass pierced the air like a gunshot. There, standing in front of the broken shards, was Robert, his face frozen in shock. 
The word "divorce" hung in the air, a bitter pill that he couldn't swallow. 
"It's a joke, right?" Robert asked, his voice shaking with disbelief. 
"No, I'm not joking, I want a divorce" Emily replied her voice resolute. 
Her words hit him like a punch to the gut, as he struggled to comprehend what she was saying. 

*********
In a society where arranged marriages are the norm, two strangers are forced to marry each other. They have very different personalities and interests, and they struggle to find common ground. They are bound together by a marriage contract that is intended to ensure that they will work together for the benefit of both their families. 

Emily Kevan, a college student with big dreams find herself in a situation that seems to have no way out. It was a leap of faith that would forever change her life, for better or worse. 

She felt a sense of profound frustration, knowing that she was tied to someone she had never met and knowing that she was unable to pursue a relationship with the man she truly wanted to be with. She considered divorce as a means of freeing herself from the constraints of the contract, but the terms of the agreement was clear: five years of marriage and an heir were required before a divorce could be considered. 

On the other hand, after years of focusing solely on his studies, Robert Rawlings graduated from university and was eager to begin the next chapter of his life. However, his parent had other plans. They informed him of a contract marriage that would tie him to a woman he had never met, and they made it clear that there was no room for discussion. Robert resigned himself to his fate, knowing that he had no choice but to comply. 

The question now is, will Emily divorce Robert after five years of marriage with a son?

Cover image is not mine, all credit goes to the owner.

The box emitted a soft click, and a circular line appeared around its middle. Emily lifted her hands, and the others leaned in to examine it. 


Robert pointed out the visible line, and they all studied it.


Camilla suggested, "Try lifting the lid, Emily." 


With a gentle touch, Emily opened the box, revealing a layer of white cloth inside. 


Camilla urged, "Check what's inside, Emily." 


As Emily carefully removed the contents, they gasped in unison. The box contained unusual fabrics, strange needles, and unfamiliar instruments, all unlike anything Emily had ever seen before.


"Wow!" Camilla and Robert exclaimed in unison. 


Emily marveled, "I've never seen anything like this!" 


Camilla deduced, "It must have belonged to the last fashion witch." 


Robert agreed, and Emily nodded, "I think so too. I'll need to consult the Weaver sisters about these mysterious tools." Emily carefully returned each item to the box.
