Gwen was a young and graceful woman about to be married to her extremely handsome fiancé , Toby. They had been in love with each other ever since they could remember. Gwen was a flawless beauty with a heart of gold while Toby was an ambitious young man. They got married and started their journey of life as a perfect couple.
In a few weeks after marriage Toby decided to move to another country while Gwen stayed at home, pregnant. She didn't see Toby until her daughter was 3 months old. Gwen was indeed a patient and kind woman. Her virtue was gifted by God in such an unexpected way. Toby had finally decided to settle in his own country. Upon his return, Toby brought gifts for his family, his parents , his brothers and his sisters. Not all were happy with this big family reunion for Gwen and Toby had caused much jealousy in the hearts of many.
A typical life with evil in laws and minor setbacks every now and then Gwen had finally learned to live in peace. Toby had changed, he was more interested in others than Gwen but before you know it, came the news of a cute blonde baby boy. Oh joy! He brought a smile on Gwen's face and hopes for a better future. Even, Toby was happy about his arrival and he fell in love with his wife all over again. This love bloomed so much that soon after another beautiful blonde baby girl was born.
With so many responsibilities Gwen hardly had time for her husband. This again created a gap in their marriage. As a result, Toby found a new friend. She was a three time divorced operator in his company. They got along well and established a good understanding of each other. Tabitha, was a rich divorced woman with no children. When Tabitha saw Toby's children, she fell in love with them. And before you know it, she became a part of the family.
Gwen felt a threat to her marriage from Tabitha, she was stealing her kids and her husband. Labeled as a non trusting partner, Gwen was silenced by everyone and Tabitha was labeled as a chaste and kind woman.
Gwen, didn't give up on her so called doubt, and had a huge fight with Toby. And so ends the chapter of Tabitha for she was no more welcome in their life and home.
Years passed, and as Toby was becoming a senior at work he had to spend much more time in the office. And one day, Gwen received a call addressed to Toby's wife Tabitha.

Toby had secretly kept Tabitha as his mistress and now they had a son.
Shocked and disheartened, Gwen felt cheated on, while Toby cared least of his wife and kids. Tabitha was living a life of luxury, love and lies with Toby.
Gwen asked herself... Is this love? Is this the man I married for love? Toby has changed... And Gwen was left heart broken. There wasn't much she could do because it was a fashion to have a mistress in those times, while all other married women adjusted with this cruelty Gwen did too but not truly. For she believed in love and love had hurt her and there was no turning back for she had three kids depending entirely on her.
Years passed and the mistress haunted her life ever since but Toby's lust for women didn't stop right there.
We call it dejavu or Toby's another fun. Toby got a new mistress; a young woman, much younger. Toby had left his family in tears and now his mistress and her son in a mess.
For Tabitha, moving on was easy, for she did not love him.
And before you know it, another got attracted to Toby and fought for his love and attention. Another perfect woman ready to love him deeply and quench his lust. And so Toby became a stranger, to his family. He found peace in women other than his loving wife and kids.
So, in real life, Gwen did not get a happily ever after but a man she could never forgive and a prison she could never break free from.
But one thing she always forgets, if Toby didn't love her, then why was he still holding on to her. True their love had seen seasons since they were infants but deep down the curse has broken her heart completely.
