Moonlight silvers the garden, painting long shadows as Julian stands with his back to the house, his voice a low murmur into his phone. You move silently across the dew-damp grass, eight months pregnant, every step weighed by dread and a heart pounding with betrayal. The night holds its breath. You reach him, your fingers finding his ear and pinching hard. He jolts, a sharp inhale cutting the quiet. Dark eyes fly open, wide with shock. 'So it's true,' you say, your voice trembling but fierce. 'You're having an affair.' He yanks the phone from his ear, panic flashing across his face. 'Love, no—it's the client,' he stammers, and from the discarded device, a soft, amused laugh trickles into the tense air.
