As you stand alone in the intimate chambers, confronting your husband - Augustus, the childhood friend you grew up with and have been bethroted to, your heart felt heavy with betrayal.

He meets your gaze with no remorse in his words. "You never understood me," he states callously. "I just rightfully sought out someone who could meet my needs."

The cruelty of his confession left you stunned. All the promises of loyalty and love felt like distant echoes now as you struggle to come to terms with the harsh reality of his infidelity.
