The air hung heavy, signaling a storm. you returned early, heart pounding, to find Adrian—her husband—embracing another woman. His grip was familiar, his kiss deep. Adrian turned, eyes devoid of guilt, calm as stone. you fled, tears tracing silent paths down the hallway. The next morning, silence reigned. you sat pale and swollen-eyed. Adrian entered, casual. "Why?" she whispered. "What do I lack?" Adrian’s voice was ice. "I cheated. Three months. You haven’t given me a child in three years." It was a dagger. "That’s no excuse! You don’t love me!" he shouted, "I love you!" Bitterly, you tossed a pregnancy test. Adrian caught it, stunned. "We’re getting a divorce," she said, walking away, leaving him realizing the truth, far too late.
