Anne looked busy in her new apartment since the apartment had more space and she could freely organize her stuff that she brought from the old apartment. She had decorated her bedroom as beautiful as she wanted to. Not only that but today she also ordered a standing mirror that she couldn't move on from for a long time after seeing it in an online shop. It came right away today because the warehouse happened to be near her new apartment.
"Finally, it's done," said Anne happily when she finished tidying up her new apartment.
"Now time to eat, poor worms in my stomach are hungry," said Anne softly when she realized that it was almost twelve in the afternoon and she had not eaten since morning.
Not long after, Anne then walked to her new kitchen which was wider than her old kitchen in Newcastle Upon Tyne. She made her favorite Korean instant noodle while installing several new apps on her new cellphone. When deciding to move to London, Anne threw away all her belongings related to the people at Newcastle Upon Tyne including her cell phone which contained Jack and Aaron's numbers, whom she just met.
Anne really wanted to start a new life, in a new place surrounded by new people. Anne wanted to live a normal life without remembering her dark past, especially regarding her current status as a widow. Every time someone talked about her status, she would be so upset, even though she kept saying to herself that she was fine if it was Jack who brought up the issue. However, her heart was torn apart because she had to be reminded again about Leon's affair with her ex-best friend, Steffi.
Anne was the person who helped Steffi to build her new life from scratch. Sometimes in the past, Anne who just finished her work accidentally met Steffi who had just been robbed. Steffi didn't have anything at that time because she was deceived by people when she came to the town. Anne sympathized with her and decided to invite Steffi to her little house in Germany. During this time, she was not married to Leon and had not met Mrs. Catherine. Steffi was able to work in the same museum as Anne after she gave the reference. Although Steffi didn't have a certificate or other qualifications, she can work at the museum after being recommended by Anne. Someone who had built her reputation as a trusted curator at the museum. Finally, Steffi was able to earn her own income and rebuild her life from scratch. Not long after that, Steffi's jealousy started to emerge when Anne met Mrs. Catherine. She wanted to own everything Anne had, from her position as the number one curator at the museum to becoming Leonardo Ganke's future wife. Steffi was so determined to find out who Anne's fiancé really was. In the end, Leonardo Ganke cheated on Anne with Steffi on the night of Leon and Anne's wedding. The night where Anne should be the happiest woman on earth and enjoy the sweetness of life as a newlywed but turned out she only received the bitterness when Leon left her with all the harsh words that came out of Leon's mouth.

Leon cursed all of Anne's appearances from head to toe. Since then, Anne and Leon were involved in an unhealthy relationship. In front of their grandmother, they will pretend to be a harmonious and happy husband and wife, but when they returned home Leon will treat Anne as a servant. She was asked to do trivial things that should be done by the servant. At that time, Anne didn't feel bothered at all because she thought that Leon's treatment toward her was something normal since they were husband and wife. But gradually, she finally knew that what Leon did to her was an attempt to cover up his affair with Steffi.
Initially, Leon and Steffi tried to cover up the forbidden relationship. At one point, Anne accidentally saw Steffi and Leon had a romantic date at a restaurant, even though at that time Anne was sick. At first, Anne asked Leon to buy medicine because Leon was still outside, but because Leon didn't read the message she sent, Anne finally took the initiative to buy her own medicine at a pharmacy not far from where they lived. And that's when she saw with her eyes that her husband was eating with her best friend in a very romantic place while holding hands and flirting with each other.
Since then, Anne realized that her best friend was the one who wanted everything she had. She decided to let Leon go right away. Not only that, she saw with her own eyes they were making love in the room that was supposed to be her bedroom as the owner of the house. Sadly, that room was used by Leon to make love to Steffi. All her love for Leon finally vanished at once during that terrible night, Anne had completely lost all her feelings for Leon, her husband, who never paid any attention to her.

The sound of the hot pot with boiling water in it had brought Anne back from her dark thoughts after she remembered what happened to her two years ago. She quickly turned down the electric stove and immediately put the instant noodle she had opened into the boiling pot.
"Why do I suddenly think of them? Even though it's been a long time since I've forgotten both of them," said Anne to herself, staring at the instant noodle in front of her that had already sunk in the boiling water.
Not long after that, the instant noodle she put into the boiling water was ready. She then moved it into a bowl and put some spices which were the perfect pairing of the instant noodle. Slowly, Anne brought her instant noodle to the front of the TV, where she already put a small sofa there. Anne carefully put the bowl filled with instant noodle she made on the table, she then enjoyed her instant noodle voraciously while staring at a file beside her. The file was a course registration file at an art university in London. Apparently, Anne had decided to continue her education. The money in her savings was sufficient to pay for her life for the next ten years without her doing anything.
The inheritance given by Mrs. Catherine at that time had increased because Anne saved it in the form of a deposit. The interest from the deposit was increasing every month and it made Anne's savings even larger than she initially saved. Furthermore, she also made some good profit from the coffee shop business after running it for two years.
"Cheer up Anne!! Achieve your dreams. And show the world you can stand up even though you are often dumped and destroyed," said Anne quietly as she looked at the registration file where she already finished filling it out.
