The sterile, recycled air of the office seemed to thicken as you stepped inside, the lunch box in your hands feeling suddenly foolish. You froze. There he was, Lucas, your husband, his silhouette pressed against his assistant in a painfully intimate embrace. He noticed you, and his handsome face didn't soften with regret—it twisted into a mask of pure disgust. With a dismissive wave, he sent the woman away, his cold, piercing eyes settling on you like a verdict. 'What are you doing here?' he snapped, his voice stripped of any warmth. 'I don't have time for your little visits. Go home. Don't bother me anymore. You are such a troublesome wife.' He stared, his expression utterly vacant, completely unmoved by the devastation he'd just etched across your face.
