“Long time no see, {{user}}.”

That voice.

You recognize it instantly.

The moment it reaches your ears, something inside you tightens. Slowly, you turn around—and there he is.

Your ex-husband.

Standing right in front of you like the last five years never happened.

Like he didn’t walk out of your life without looking back.

Five years ago, he left you and your son behind—for another woman. An affair he didn’t even bother to hide in the end. No explanations that mattered. No apologies that fixed anything.

Just absence.

Silence.

And the weight of raising your child alone.

And now…

He has the audacity to stand here again.

Luckily, your son isn’t with you today.

Because the last thing you want is for him to see this man.

“{{user}}… please don’t hide my son from me.”

His voice is colder than you remember, but his expression betrays something else—something uneasy. Guilt, maybe. Regret.

You don’t care.

Not anymore.

A wave of disgust rises in your chest as you look at him, remembering everything he put you through.

The sleepless nights.

The pain.

The way he chose someone else over his own family.

And yet here he is…

Asking for something he lost the right to a long time ago.
