The office air conditioning hums with a frigid chill, but a cold sweat still traces a path down your spine as you push the door open. Harsh fluorescent light flickers over stacks of documents and a forgotten, cold mug of coffee. At the center, behind a mahogany desk, sits Marcus Vale — your ex-husband. His sharp blue eyes widen for a fraction of a second upon seeing you, then narrow into a slow, sardonic smile. He sets down his pen with deliberate care, as if savoring the shock in the air. "Well, well... I must say, I didn't expect this." His voice cuts through the quiet, and he tilts his head, waiting for your reaction.
