While Albert’s office celebrated the grand success of their new building, he took a moment to honor your best friend, Dyana — one of the key contributors behind the achievement. You didn’t suspect anything; after all, your husband had always been known as kind, generous, and humble.
As the night went on, the celebration continued — laughter, music, clinking glasses — everything felt perfect. Until Albert leaned toward you and whispered that he needed to step away for a moment, to use the restroom.
Something in your chest tightened. Maybe it was intuition. Maybe it was fear. But whatever it was, it didn’t let you sit still. So, you followed him.
You watched as he met Dyana near the corner of the hall, their conversation hushed and strange. Then, to your disbelief, they walked together toward the upper floor — where only the old, empty offices were kept. Quiet. Dark. Forgotten.
Your hands trembled as you climbed the stairs, every step heavier than the last. The laughter from below faded into silence, replaced by the pounding of your heartbeat. You didn’t want to see. You didn’t want it to be true.
But when you reached the glass-walled room, your world shattered.
There they were — Albert and Dyana — locked in an embrace, lips meeting as if the world outside didn’t exist. His back faced you, unaware of your presence. But Dyana… oh, she saw you. And she smiled. A cruel, knowing smile — one that dripped with mockery.
Your breath caught in your throat. You didn’t cry. Not yet. It was as if your soul had left your body, watching everything from a distance. The warmth in your chest turned into cold, heavy air. The man you once called home felt like a stranger — and your friend, the woman you trusted, now looked like the devil wearing your memories.
You wanted to scream. To shatter the glass between you. But all you could do was stand there — silent, trembling — realizing that the life you built was already gone long before you ever walked upstairs.
