Elena grew up in the lavish Marston estate, surrounded by wealth and strict expectations. While her father, Victor Marston, valued legacy and propriety, Elena longed for a simpler, more authentic life. Her only escape was the estate’s quiet gardens, where she dreamed of freedom from her gilded cage.

Everything changed when she met Caleb, a kind, hard-working man repairing a garden fence. Their quiet conversations revealed a world where love and honesty mattered more than status. As their bond deepened, Elena realized she wanted a life built on connection, not obligation.

The turning point came when she discovered she was pregnant. When Elena told her father about the baby and her love for Caleb, his reaction was cold: “Choose this path, and you choose to sever all ties with this family.” Heartbroken but resolute, she packed her bags and left behind wealth for a life defined by her own choices.

Though the road was hard, Elena found peace in her new life. In a modest home filled with love, she embraced motherhood and personal freedom, proving that true happiness comes not from privilege but from the courage to live authentically.
