Why did John have to place the jar with those shiny junk pieces on her desk?
The beautiful painting on the left, and the greenery outside inspired her to weave poetry. The unseasonal showers had lent a dewy look to the garden, and the sun was now peeping through a rainbow. She wished he had placed flowers or chocolates in the container instead.
But how could she expect that from her celebrity husband, with a personality disorder? She proceeded to shut the window, before Hope sprouted within her dried up existence.
Her A-list life was nothing more than junk inside.

Behind the glitter and diamonds, there are human emotions that are no different from the rest of us. Nicely done.

He needs medical intervention and she needs to vent out her emotions and the the visible cloak of celebrity wife. the world outside may be unaware of their sham marriage. A good take on reality, Reena.

I think that she needs to speak up, or move on, then again I prefer bling to chocolate and cut flowers.

Individual tastes :). A few idiosyncrasies may have attracted her to the guy, before it blew to a full scale disorder.

Yes, all glamor, but superficial. Unlike the writing in this piece. Well done, Reena!

I wonder how many WAGs feel this way? A brilliantly different take.

Would you believe I knew someone like that? He didn’t want to go through treatment (he had depression in this case) because he was in the public eye and all eyes would be on him. You wrote a very incisive story from the wife’s point of view and I wonder just what she might have thought. I like this story, Reena. Bravo!
