I Married Without Love ✅ | Level 3 | Heart Touching English Story | Learn English Through Story🔥

💔 A woman's honest confession about marrying for the wrong reasons and finding the courage to start over.

Sarah is 28 years old. She lives in Lincoln Park with her husband Richard. From the outside, her life looks perfect. But inside, Sarah carries a heavy secret: she doesn't love her husband.

One year ago, Sarah made an impossible choice. Her mother was dying and needed expensive surgery. Sarah had no money. That's when Richard, a kind 42-year-old man, offered to help—if she would marry him. Desperate to save her mother, Sarah said yes.

But love never came. Every day, Sarah lives with guilt. Richard is patient, kind, and deeply in love with her. He brings flowers, cooks dinner, and waits for her heart to open. But Sarah's heart stays silent.

This is a story about being trapped in a marriage built on desperation, not love. It's about the courage to speak truth even when it hurts. And it's about discovering that sometimes, being alone is better than living a lie.
