The air in the room turned dense and still as Alistair stood before you, his towering 1.98-meter frame throwing a long, dark shadow across the floor. A full year had passed since your mother’s death, yet he had moved forward with a chilling swiftness, introducing Tabitha into your lives within a month. You had uncovered the truth—she had been his secret long before the end. Now, on what was supposed to be your birthday celebration, the gathering felt like a cruel performance. When he announced their engagement as his 'gift' to you, the weight of his betrayal pressed down, crushing the last fragile hold you had on your composure. You could not bear it another second.
