Rigella and Ivan are the main characters in the novel *I'm Just His Wife*. In this heart - wrenching novel, Rigella is a young housewife. At 18, due to an unplanned pregnancy, she was forced to marry Ivan. Since then, she has dedicated herself to the family, hoping to warm this marriage with love and devotion. Ivan, born into a well - off family, has had his heart set on someone else from the start. The woman he deeply loves is Lara, and he treats Rigella with extreme indifference. The novel tells a tragic story of their marriage filled with pain, betrayal, and struggle.
Rigella's marriage was overcast from the very beginning. The two got married in a hurry because of the unexpected pregnancy, but Ivan's heart never truly belonged to her. After marriage, Ivan not only ignored Rigella but also often lashed out at her verbally and physically. Full of grievances, Rigella endured it silently for the sake of their young son, Ice, naively believing that her perseverance would eventually win Ivan's heart.
The heavy blows of fate came unexpectedly. One day, Rigella accidentally saw Ivan and Lara dining intimately in an upscale restaurant. The sweet scene was like a sharp blade, stabbing her heart deeply. Even worse, when Ivan noticed her, instead of feeling guilty, he brutally attacked her in the restaurant restroom, warning her viciously not to meddle in his affairs.
When Roxanne, Rigella's friend, learned of this, she was furious. She contacted Rigella's brother, intending to teach Ivan a lesson. However, Rigella was deeply in love with Ivan. Despite being scarred all over, she couldn't bear to see him punished. Ignoring Roxanne's dissuasion, she went home with Ivan.
At the anniversary party of Rigella's parents, she suffered a fatal blow again. Witnessing Ivan and Lara kissing in the corner with her own eyes, the last bit of her fantasy about the marriage instantly collapsed. Just when she was in deep despair, Seymour, her childhood friend, appeared. Seymour had immigrated to Canada in high school. Their reunion after years made Rigella feel the long - lost warmth.
Seymour brought good news. The fashion designer he knew was looking for a business partner to build a boutique, which had always been Rigella's dream. Rigella was full of anticipation, thinking that life was finally taking a turn for the better.
But fate played a cruel joke on her again. When they met, they found out that the fashion designer was none other than Lara. Seymour angrily accused Lara of interfering in Rigella's marriage. Lara was enraged and left, and the cooperation fell through.
The successive blows left Rigella physically and mentally exhausted. At this time, Seymour suddenly confessed his love to her. He admitted that he had been in love with Rigella all along. Rigella was shocked. In her heart, Seymour had always been like a brother, and she had never thought that there could be love between them.
At the same time, Rigella accidentally learned that Ivan had told Lara on the phone that he would divorce her and then marry Lara. This news completely shattered her. She finally realized that the marriage she had held on to for so many years was just a joke.
Now, Rigella stands at a crossroads in her life, in pain and confusion. Should she continue to endure in this loveless marriage, maintaining a broken home for her son? Or should she summon the courage to leave Ivan and search for her true happiness? Can Seymour's love be the strength for her to break free from the predicament? What kind of ending will Ivan and Lara have? If you're also curious about the answers to these questions, then quickly open *I'm Just His Wife*.
