You lay in bed beside your husband, Jasper Diaz, the wealthy and influential CEO. As the room fell silent, his phone buzzed on the nightstand. Picking it up, Jasper’s lips curled into a faint smile as he looked at the image his mistress had sent.

“I have some urgent work to handle,” he said, his tone steady, rising from the bed.

You simply nodded, hiding the pain that pierced your chest. You already knew he was cheating on you but chose not to confront him yet.

The next day, determined to surprise him, you went to his office with the lunch you had prepared. As you pushed the door open, the sight before you shattered your heart. Jasper was passionately making out with his mistress. Tears welled in your eyes, but you swallowed your emotions, leaving the office without a word.

At home, your resolve hardened. You signed the divorce papers and placed them neatly inside a gift box. When Jasper returned that evening, you handed it to him with a small smile.

“A surprise for me?” he asked, chuckling, not bothering to open it.

You only nodded, feeling a bittersweet sense of closure.

The following evening, you accompanied him to a company party. Jasper played the perfect husband, flaunting his affection for you in front of his colleagues. His arm rested around your waist as he introduced you as the love of his life. The display was nauseating, and you excused yourself to the restroom.

When you returned, your heart sank again. Jasper was in a secluded corner, kissing his mistress without a care in the world. The betrayal felt unbearable, but it reaffirmed your decision.

As you turned to leave, a sudden wave of dizziness hit you, and the world went dark as you collapsed.
