Summary: They say love conquers all, but some things must be an exception. The last time Natalia checked, there are just some things love cannot overcome. As an interior designer, born and raised in New York City and moved to Los Angeles, California at the tender age of 18, Natalia learned the hardships of life early on. Falling in love with Jason Bennings, eight years her senior, was not one of the goals in Natalia's life, but it was the best decision she ever made. However, after cheated on twice by Jason, Natalia decided it's time to give up on the man she fell in love with and the life they built together. But Jason isn't ready to give up on his wife and he's willing to do whatever it takes to show Natalia what their marriage means to him. With a baby on the way that Jason has no clue about and mistakes that could tear their life apart forever, how will Jason and Natalia get through their hardships? If only it were a dream.

Chapter 1
"Just sign the damn papers, please! I can't take this anymore." Natalia attempted to calm herself as she cried out to her husband. He stood there emotionless. Typical Jason.
"We can work this out. What the fuck happened to working things out in a marriage?" Jason exclaimed, throwing the paper she handed him across the room. Those papers would ruin his life forever.
"How many times, Jason? How many times do you expect me to sit around and wait for you to change?" She raised her hand on her forehead, softened her tone, and looked into his eyes.
"I'm tired of being the one who holds the relationship together. I'm so tired."
He choked. What could he say? It was the second time she caught him with another female.
"Sign the divorce papers and let me leave. Let me go so you can fuck every girl and tell her everything you told me. Promise her everything you promised me. But tell me Jason, is she going to be the one you break down on? Is that she going to have what we had? Is she?!" Natalia walked towards him and stared into his hazel eyes. They were just feet away from each other, but she felt miles apart from him.
She began to walk towards the papers she spent time on for weeks. He held her wrist gently and pleaded with her silently. He looked at her back turned to him and right then and there he knew he fucked up. Bad.
Natalia's heart broke into pieces because she was dying for him to apologize. Deep down she yearned for him to hold her wrists and ask her to work things out. She wanted to hear the sweetest words that would bring her back into his arms. But he stopped. Instead, Jason stood there speechless. She pushed his hands off her wrist roughly and picked up the papers. Right before she walked out she turned and looked at him.
"I hate you, you fuckin' bastard."
He remained firm. "I'm sorry."
"I swear to God I won't shed another tear for you. No more. I deserve better and you know that." She walked out, leaving him with a heartache.
As Natalia walked to the car she put her hand on her stomach and sighed.
She grew frustrated when the door wouldn't open to her 98 Honda Civic.
"Please just open. Please, please, please." She mumbled, tears burning the back of her eyes.
Once the jet black door opened she got in her car and slammed the door shut. She drove off and stopped at the next block.
Everything came crashing down at once. She remembered walking in and seeing the girl. She remembered the four years she stayed devoted to him.
