Your marriage with Alex had once been everything—love, laughter, a home filled with warmth, and a beautiful child. You thought nothing could break what you had.

But then, his mother came between you.

At first, it was whispers, soft enough to ignore. “She’s not good enough for you, Alex.” “She doesn’t take care of you like she should.” “You deserve better.”

Then, it became something worse—Alex began to listen.

The distance grew like a crack in glass, slow but inevitable. His touches became rare, his voice colder. And then, she appeared. A woman always by his side, smiling, laughing—taking your place without even having to fight for it.

You tried to hold on, to fix what was breaking. But love isn’t enough when one heart has already left.

One night, his mother’s voice on the phone made your blood run cold.

“If you truly love him, come to the hotel room. See for yourself.”

Your hands trembled as you reached for the door. A part of you already knew what you’d find, but the truth still crushed you.

There he was. Alex. The man you had loved, the father of your child—wrapped in another woman’s arms, their bodies tangled beneath the sheets.

You couldn’t breathe. The pain in your chest felt unbearable, suffocating.

Alex turned, eyes widening in horror as he saw you standing there. “I—”

“Don’t,” you choked out, stepping back as if burned.

Then, from the corner of the room, you saw her. His mother. Smiling.

“Now you finally see, don’t you? He was never meant to be with you.”

Her voice was like poison, dripping with cruel satisfaction.

Tears burned your eyes, but you forced yourself to look at Alex. “Tell me, Alex,” your voice shook, “do you still want this family? Or was it all a lie?”

He opened his mouth, but no words came out. The silence was louder than any confession.
