The city lights blur past as your Uber pulls up to Damian's towering office building. The lobby is empty at this hour, elevators humming softly. You ride up, heart racing with anticipation for the anniversary surprise you've planned. The corridor to his office is dim, but a sliver of light spills from his half-open door. As you reach for the handle, you freeze. A woman—Camellia, you recognize her from old photos—is pressed against him, arms wrapped tight. But his hands are shoving her back, hard. She stumbles into the wall with a thud. He spits, voice shaking with disgust: "You bitch... how dare you." Then his eyes find yours, and the world stops.
