Authors Note: It's TrueDestiny here! I know, I've started a new fanfic… but I've been thinking about this story for a really long time so I've finally decided to have it written and posted! And I've been having a really hard time with the other stories and I'm sorry that it's taking me so long to post another chapter, but I have the craziest writers block!

Well, I'll only continue this if you guys help me out with the reviews because that will tell me if it's worth reading or not. I'm not really good at prologues because it's the beginning of a story and it's like, "Ahh, how do I start?"

Well… maybe it's just me. Bwaha. Anyway, happy reading!

---edit---

Ahh, I'm really sorry for reposting this. I reread it and I was like, "WOW. This is terrible!" but hopefully it's a lot better now. I know that it's been over a year since I've updated, but summer is approaching so I'm hoping that I'll be able to fit in more chapters soon! Thank you all very much!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters, but I do own the story.

Note: This is just a normal everyday-life story that doesn't include magical powers and evil monsters.

PROLOGUE

They believed that their undying affection for each other was so strong that their bond could never be broken. Their happiness was truly intact without any interruptions from other people, especially from the people that would be jealous of their marriage. Jealous at the fact that a couple so great would even decide to get married. But marriage is a huge deal. If you decide to get married, you're willing to offer your soul to your lover with no regrets and live happily for the rest of your future years until death do you part.

Serena and Darien have been married for exactly two years.

You can say that their marriage isn't something to die for, but it's certainly something that you would want to escape from without any hesitation. Their yelling, jealousy and lack of affection was affecting their marriage with such power that it could without a doubt break their bond.

Even though Serena and Darien have been a couple since she was fourteen, she matured ever since she got married. Her jealousy does not overcome her anymore as she learned that Darien was the only man for her. But as a teenager, she would never allow him to look at other girls or talk to them, but Darien knew better and never really talked to any other girl because he wanted her to know that she was the only one for him. But majority of their arguments were not about silly little things, but more about people who were not over them yet.

Their 'boyfriend and girlfriend' phase seemed a lot more reasonable than their marriage. They were actually in love. They were filled with happiness each day and they would do anything to see each other when they got the chance. It was slightly difficult to tell Serena's mother that she was dating a college student, but her parents got over it overtime as they trusted Darien more and more since he was a smart and well-mannered man.

Now everything has changed.

Their occupations seemed more important than each other. Darien - being the doctor that he is - would barely be at home since there would always be an emergency, and he would always be the first to be notified if there was an urgent situation. People would expect him to be at the hospital within five minutes, and that's what he was well known for - being there for someone with no delay, no matter where he was.

But did that really apply to Serena? Were his patients more important than her? Serena was the type of person to think, "No, I could never say that to him. That'd be so cruel… but is it true? Are his patients more important than me?"

Darien would come home around midnight everyday. He never took a day off because he knew it was more important to save lives instead of taking a vacation, even though he was in dire need of one. They would barely ever see each other, but it didn't concern them that much. Serena was still going to college but she is still uncertain of what she would want to do for the rest of her life. She still held onto her dream of becoming a bride, but it was slightly difficult to attain that dream since her and Darien have not decided to have any children any time soon.

Their love for each other does not compare to what their affection was like in the past. But their marriage has definitely altered ever since Saori and Seiya came into the picture…

Reviews adored.
