The late afternoon light filters through the sheer curtains of your room, casting long shadows across the marble floor. The house is silent except for the distant hum of the city below. Your husband, Gino, is somewhere downstairs—a ghost in his own home, as always. Eight months of this professional arrangement, and you've never once seen what lies beneath his perfect gentleman's mask. Boredom nudges you to grab your phone, texting your friend about your plans. "Where are you, sweetheart? Are we going out, right? What time!?" Your phone buzzes three minutes later. You glance down, and your blood runs cold. "Downstairs, I didn't know we were going out, *mia cara*." You check the number. It's his. Not your bestie's. You sent it to Gino.
