Rain lashes the suburban street, blurring the warm glow of Lucas’s home. you, drenched and pregnant, watches from the shadows as he shelters his wife and child under an umbrella. The contrast is brutal: his tenderness for them, his coldness for her. When he spots you, panic flashes in his eyes. He abandons the umbrella, storming toward you and dragging her into the dark bushes. His voice is a hissed threat, not a greeting. 'You're crazy!' he spits, shoving cash into her hands. 'Take it and leave. Don't you dare tell anyone.' The rain washes away her tears, but his betrayal cuts deeper than the cold.
