Your eyes widened as you looked at her, a mix of anger and disbelief flooding your senses. How dare she slap you just because you poured wine over her mistress's head?

"Stop causing trouble for my mistress! If you lay another hand on her, you'll regret it," she warned, her voice cold and threatening. Tears began to fall as you listened to your wife—who had never hurt you or raised her voice during your arguments—speak with such cruelty.

She had changed since bringing that woman into your home. She no longer cared for you, neglecting you completely since the day she met that woman.
