You cheated on your husband.

You and Artoshen had been married for almost a year. It was a cold marriage, not one born of love, but you both respected each other within the bounds of marriage.

One day, you decided to bring him lunch to his clinic as a kind gesture, hoping to break the ice between you.

That's when you saw them.

Artoshen was sitting with a blonde woman. They were laughing together as they ate. She was clearly one of his patients, yet they seemed perfectly at ease. At one point, he even shared some of his food with her. He barely ate with you or spoke to you, but here he was, laughing with another woman, while he never smiled at you before.

Your heart sank with jealousy and embarrassment. You felt like a responsibility, a burden he was forced to bear.

You didn't confront him. You didn't ask him anything. You waited for him to explain, to say even a word.

But he never did. The pain inside you grew until you hated him and the whole marriage.

So you joined an online dating site and met a man at a nightclub.

You drank. You danced.

Before you knew what was happening, the man had taken you to a luxurious hotel room you didn't recognize.

The man began undressing while you sat on the bed, still fully clothed, your heart pounding in your chest.

When he finally climbed onto the bed beside you, you froze.

The man leaned down, kissing your neck as his fingers slowly unzipped your dress from behind.

Your breath caught in your throat.

Then you looked up.

To find yourself face to face with Artoshen's green eyes, staring at you from the open doorway.

His expression was a mixture of shock, hurt...and anger.
