There was once a young man named Jack who had been in love with his best friend, Mary, for as long as he could remember. However, Mary was in a long-term relationship with a man named Tom, and Jack knew that he didn’t stand a chance with her as long as Tom was in the picture.
Despite this, Jack couldn’t help the way he felt and found himself constantly thinking about Mary and wondering what could have been. He tried to move on and find happiness with other people, but he always found himself drawn back to her.
One day, Jack’s fortunes changed when Tom suddenly passed away. Jack was heartbroken for Mary, but he also couldn’t help feeling a glimmer of hope that now maybe, just maybe, he had a chance with her.
Jack mustered up the courage to tell Mary how he felt, and to his surprise, she felt the same way. They began a passionate love affair and were happier than they had ever been.
But their happiness was short-lived. Mary became pregnant, and while they were overjoyed at the prospect of starting a family together, they also knew that they would be met with disapproval and judgment from the outside world.
They decided to keep the pregnancy a secret and raise the child on their own, but the stress and strain of hiding their love and their child took a toll on their relationship. They fought more and more, and eventually, they couldn’t ignore the problems in their relationship any longer.
In the end, Jack and Mary made the painful decision to go their separate ways for the sake of their child. They both loved each other deeply, but they knew that it was better for their child to grow up in a stable and loving home, even if it meant giving up on their own happiness.
