A Tale of Love, Betrayal, and Resilience  By Syed Majid Gilani/syedmajid6676@gmail.com In a world where truth is often trampled, John's life was turned upside down by a relentless campaign of harassment and manipulation orchestrated by his partner, Mary.

Despite his occasional returns, bringing necessities and provisions, the wife's toxic behavior made their home an uncomfortable place for him. The son began attending a local school, and his mother showered him with love and affection. However, when he brought home an extra pencil, admitting to taki
