The Actor's Failed Act

I've been with an award-winning actor for seven years. We've been secretly married for five of those seven years.

For the sake of his career, I drink so much that I get a stomach perforation. I also allow others to trample over my pride and dignity.

Yet he goes on lakeside dates with another woman and kisses her underneath the fireworks. He even has the nerve to tell me not to be unreasonable.

Later, I get caught in a landslide when I'm on a business trip. I make one last call to him in fear. All I hear is him singing his lover a birthday song.
