replied yes it is me I felt nervous Olivia continued I am John 's wife we have been married for five years I was shocked what I said I could not believe it Olivia said I do not want to lose John I love him I want to keep my family I listened to her my heart felt heavy I asked why are you calling me Olivia replied I saw you and JN together I want you to know the truth I felt sad I never knew John was married I said he did not tell me Olivia then said
I have pictures I want to show you she sent me pictures of them together they looked happy I felt tears in my eyes I could not believe what was happening I thought about my time with John I remembered our laughter and talks I felt guilty I did not want to hurt Olivia why did JN not tell me I asked myself I felt confused and sad I thought about my feelings for John Olivia said please do not hurt my family I need your help I felt the weight of her words I understand I replied I wanted
to help her I did not want to be the reason for their problems I told Olivia I will stop seeing John I decided to end my relationship with him I thought it was the right thing to do I cared about John but I cared about Olivia too the next day I saw John at school he smiled at me hi Elena he said I felt my heart raise I wanted to tell him the truth can we talk I asked he nodded we went to a quiet place I took a deep breath John I need to talk

thought about Olivia she was a good woman I did not want to hurt her days passed I focused on my job I spent time with my friends I tried to forget John but it was hard one evening I was at home I felt sad and lonely I thought about the times I spent with John I missed him but I also felt strong I remembered what Olivia said I love him I want to keep my family I understood her feelings I did not want to break their family I decided to talk to my friend Maria she
always gave good advice I called her and said can we meet we met at a cafe I told her everything I liked John but he is married I said Olivia called me she is sad Maria listened carefully you did the right thing Elena she said you cannot be with someone who is married I know I replied but it hurts Maria nodded it is okay to feel sad you need to take care of yourself I felt better talking to her I realized I was strong I would move on I needed to think about my happiness after
a week I decided to meet Olivia again I wanted to support her I called her and said can we meet we met at a park I felt nervous Olivia arrived and looked worried thank you for meeting me she said I smiled softly I wanted to see how you are I said I am sorry for everything Olivia nodded it is hard for me we talked about JN and their marriage Olivia shared her feelings I love him she said but I am scared he will leave me I felt her pain you are a strong woman I said
you can talk to him be honest Olivia nodded you are right I need to speak to him I will support you I said I don't want to be a problem in your life Olivia looked grateful thank you Elena we talked for a long time I realized we understood each other we were both strong women we both loved Jon in different ways I decided to go to another city I thought a change would help me heal I wanted to start fresh I told my friends about my decision they supported me you need to do what is
best for you Maria said you will be okay I felt grateful for my friends on my last day at school I said goodbye to my students they were sad we will miss you Elena they said I felt happy to have taught them I left my job with mixed feelings I was excited but sad I knew it was time for a new adventure as I packed my things I thought about John I hoped he would find happiness with Olivia I hoped they would talk and work things out when I arrived in the new city I felt
nervous but excited I started looking for a new job I wanted to teach again days turned into weeks I found a new school the teachers were friendly I felt happy to start again I made new friends one day I received a message from Olivia she said I talked to John we are trying to work things out I felt relieved I am happy for you I replied Olivia continued thank you for your understanding I appreciate it I smiled I was glad I could help as time passed I focused on my new life I made new friends
and enjoyed my job I felt happy I started to heal from my past I often thought about John and Olivia I hoped they were happy together I knew love could be complicated but I believed in love one evening I went for a walk in the park it was peaceful I felt content I realized I was moving forward I was ready for new experiences I knew that love would find me again I felt hopeful for the future in the end I learned a lot I learned about love honesty and the importance of family I felt proud
