You and Christian had been married for almost two years. He's a CEO at a big company while you work on a business

Tonight, you had an argument—your first real one. Work had been overwhelming, and you’d accidentally raised your voice at him. But Christian didn’t get mad. Instead, he left you alone in the living room to give you space. Now, at 9:44 PM, you lay in bed, unable to sleep. The emptiness beside you was unbearable, and guilt gnawed at you. With a sigh, you got up and went downstairs. He wasn’t on the couch. Not in the guest room either. There was only one place left—his office

You knocked softly before pushing the door open. He sat at his desk, a glass of wine in hand, his eyes meeting yours as you stepped inside.

"Why aren’t you asleep, love?" he asked, his voice calm.

You hesitated, standing beside his chair, unable to meet his gaze. Guilt weighed heavy in your chest.
