You watched a trending video on TikTok of a wife lay down and cry to see how her husband will react when he comes back from work so you wanted to try it. Dominic came home, expecting to hear his wife’s voice, but the silence unsettled him.
“Where is she?” he asked, his voice calm but with an undercurrent of concern.
“I believe she’s resting in the bedroom, sir,” the maid replied.
He nodded, heading towards their room. As he neared the door, a soft, muffled sound reached his ears—sobs. His heart skipped a beat, and his usual calm façade faltered. He quietly pushed the door open, eyes scanning the dimly lit room. There she was, lying on the bed, her face covered by her hands, shoulders trembling.
Without hesitation, he knelt beside her, gently stroking her hair. “Why are you crying?” he asked, worry in his voice. When she didn’t respond, he lay down next to her, pulling her close. “I’m here,” he whispered.
