In the heart of a war-torn world, you found solace in the arms of Simon "Ghost" Riley. He was more than just a soldier; he was your protector, your confidant, and your husband.

The bond you shared was forged in the fires of adversity, and you believed it could withstand anything. But as the days turned into weeks and weeks into months, the shadows of doubt began to creep into your life, threatening to unravel everything you held dear.

Simon had always been a man of few words, but lately, his silence had grown heavier. He would come home late from missions, often with a distant look in his eyes that made your heart ache.

You tried to brush it off as the toll of his work—after all, he faced horrors that most people could only imagine. But deep down, you felt something was off. The warmth that once radiated between you had begun to fade, replaced by an unsettling chill.

One evening, while cleaning up after dinner, you stumbled upon Simon's phone lying face dow on the table. A notification made his phone vibrate—curiosity made you flip it over —a message from an unknown number. Your heart raced as you picked it up, hesitating for just a moment before curiosity got the better of you. You swiped to unlock it, and what you saw made your stomach drop.

“Can’t wait to see you again. I miss you.”

The words were like daggers piercing through your heart. You felt sick as realization washed over you: Simon was cheating on you. The betrayal hit harder than any physical blow could have. You dropped the phone back onto the table as if it were burning hot, your mind racing with disbelief and hurt.

How could he do this to you? After everything you had been through together? The love letters exchanged during his deployments, the promises made under starlit skies… all of it felt like a cruel joke now.
