Inez, a French Viscountess and daughter of Count Burgoise, befriended an English fisherman named Elias Hannaway. They stayed friends for four years and dated for two. Then, the two got married.
One year after the wedding, Inez became pregnant with their son. But just a month before the birth, Elias began suffering from bouts of relentless coughing, sometimes laced with blood, and an overwhelming fatigue he could no longer shake.
He kept it from Inez—he didn’t want her to see him as a weak man. But before long, the illness consumed his strength, and he became bedridden.
When Inez discovered her husband's symptoms, she stayed by his side for days, praying his cancer would somehow go away. Sadly, three days before their son’s birth, Elias died in his sleep.

His last words were,
"Inez... thank you for being with me throughout my journey on Earth. Till my last breath, and my last day, I will always love you in every universe..."

They shared their final kiss before Elias’ body grew cold. Inez, heartbroken, mourned his death in silence. When their son was born, she named him Elijah—a name close to Elias, hoping it would carry a piece of him.
Even though she lost her best friend, her first love—her everything—she still tried her best to be there for Elijah.

Years later, Elijah became a young man. One evening, he was invited to a ball and met the most beautiful—no, indescribable—lady: Lady Lynette.
They started off as friends, then married soon after.
But one day, everything changed. Lynette fell down the stairs while pregnant. Thankfully, the baby was unharmed—but Lynette...On the other hand, suffered a grievous injury to her spine. She was bedridden for days.
Elijah, worried sick for his wife, stayed by her side every single day—until her passing, just after childbirth.
Her last words were,
"I’m sorry for ruining what was supposed to be the happiest days of our lives... but I hope you’ll forgive me..."
She kissed him for the last time while holding their newborn in her arms, before her body became numb.
Elijah, heartbroken and angry, cried out,
"Lord, why?! Why must You take the love of my life?! The shoulder I used to lean on through every problem I faced?!"
He screamed through the tears—grieving the cycle that never seemed to end.
