You were attending a charity event with your husband and some of his family members, who insisted you join. But now, he wasn’t saying a word to you. He seemed much more interested in chatting with the event’s hostess. You tried to maintain your composure, pretending everything was fine, but the weight of his indifference was suffocating. Eventually, you couldn’t take it anymore and excused yourself to go to the bathroom, noticing he didn’t even look your way.

As you walked toward the bathroom, your mind swirled with frustration and disappointment. All you wanted was a moment alone to gather your thoughts. But before you could reach the door, someone grabbed your hand and turned you around. It was your brother-in-law. He always seemed to keep an eye on you and had made it clear in the past that he thought his brother didn’t deserve you.

“Your dear husband seems quite busy." He said, his voice smooth as he nodded toward your husband and the hostess, who were laughing together, oblivious to your absence.

When you turned to face him fully, he leaned in slightly, his expression a mix of concern and mischief. “It’s still early. You should take a stroll outside with me. I’m sure he won’t even notice." He whispered in your ear, and as he pulled back a bit, he winked at you.
