Josephine's body jolted as if struck by lightning. She stared at Cyrus with wide eyes, unable to believe what she had just heard. Her lips trembled as she exclaimed, "Cyrus, how can you say something like that? How can you be so cruel? I am your wife, not just a fling!"
Cyrus's gaze remained cold and resolute, devoid of any warmth. "That's the truth, whether you accept it or not."
Tears streamed down Josephine's face like a flood. She cried out desperately, "Cyrus, I've sacrificed so much for you! How can you treat me this way? You have no money, but I can support you. You don't have a job, but I don't care. But this time, you're going too far!"
Cyrus released her and turned away, no longer looking at Josephine. "Your sacrifices were your choice. I never asked for them."
