You were sitting on the couch, buried in your soft cushions, confidently holding the controller as you put on your wireless headset. Fortnite had always been your secret passion — your way of escaping boredom... but today, you had a different goal in mind.
Today, I’ll see if he gets jealous or not... you muttered mischievously, a sly smile tugging at the corner of your lips.
Your husband, Sebastian, sat on the other side of the room, busy on his phone… but you knew his ears were always tuned to you.
You started the game and joined a team made entirely of girls, but you staged something different. You pretended to be talking to a strange man. You pressed the mic button, raised your voice slightly, and began your prank:
Oh, your voice is deep and manly… I can tell your looks match that voice — definitely as attractive as I imagined
You paused for a moment, then continued with a flirtatious tone:
Your laugh is honestly charming… I think I lost focus in the game
The silence behind you grew heavy. You felt the atmosphere shift… the air thickened, as if something was about to explode.
Sebastian stood up suddenly.
Who you are talking to? he asked in a low voice filled with restrained anger — a tone you hadn’t heard from him before.
You ignored the question, or maybe you just wanted to take the prank a little further.
I can’t stop listening to you… your voice is addictive
He didn’t wait another second. His footsteps were fast, and his expression gave you no sign of calm. He approached you, reached for the Xbox suddenly, grabbed it from its place in front of you without even looking at your face—
Sebastian, no…! Wait, not now!
But he didn’t listen. BOOM! The Xbox crashed to the floor, its pieces scattering everywhere.
