“Mrs. Brown, you're here.”

I turned. Vivian stood a few feet behind me, dressed in a cream-colored blouse and a fitted skirt, her handbag hanging from the crook of her arm.

She looked as though she had walked into the building a hundred times before. Which, judging by the receptionist's reaction, she probably had.

For a moment, neither of us spoke. Then Vivian smiled. “Lydia. What are you doing here?”

It was such an ordinary question that I almost wondered whether I had imagined the tension s

    “Lydia, has Ronan told you what really happened that night.”I almost forgot how to breathe. The man standing in front of me didn't look like someone who had come to the company for a casual visit. His shirt was creased at the elbows, his jaw was tight, and he kept glancing at Vivian as though he expected her to interrupt him.She did. “Marcus, stop it. What do you think you are doing?”So his name was Marcus. He looked at her incredulously. “Stop what? Asking a question?”“You know exactly what I'm talking about.” She fumed, “Why can't you just listen?”“No, Vivian. Apparently, nobody knows anything except you.”I looked between them. “I'm sorry,” I said, forcing my voice to remain calm. “Do I know you?”Marcus turned toward me. “No, you don't. But I'm Marcus.”He offered his hand, but I didn't take it. “Lydia Brown.”“I know who you are.” Something about the way he said it made my stomach tighten.“You do?” I paused, “I don't think I have met you before.”He hesitated. Vivian stepp

Then Vivian smiled. “Lydia. What are you doing here?”It was such an ordinary question that I almost wondered whether I had imagined the tension surrounding her.“I could ask you the same thing.” I smiled awkwardly.Her smile faltered for half a second. “I have business here.”“At my husband's company?” I narrowed my eyes.She glanced toward the receptionist, who had suddenly become very interested in her computer.“Our family has business here,” Vivian replied.I studied her face. “And since when do they call you Mrs. Brown?”The question wiped the smile from her lips.“What?”I gestured toward the receptionist. “She just called you Mrs.

    The company looked better than I remembered. Or maybe I had simply become too distant from it.I sat in my car across the street for several seconds, staring through the windshield.The glass building stood exactly where it had always been, its silver letters shining beneath the morning sun.“Brown’s Enterprises.” I remembered when there had been no sign, no glass doors, no reception desk and no polished floors.Just two cramped rooms, a broken air conditioner, and Ronan sitting across from me with a calculator in one hand and a pile of unpaid invoices in the other.We had built this. At least, that's what I used to believe.I picked up my handbag and stepped out of the car. The moment I walked through the entrance, I noticed how little anyone reacted to me.A security guard glanced at me and returned his attention to his phone.Two employees walked past without a second look.I kept moving. The receptionist looked up when I approached the desk. “Good morning.”“Good morning.” I respo

    “Don't worry…,” I replied, rushing upstairs to our bedroom.Ronan followed me. He shut the door behind him and sat at the edge of the bed.“Lydia, look at me.”I lifted my eyes to Ronan, his expression unusually serious.“I've been trying to understand what is going on in your head,” he said. “You haven't said much since I came back.”“I’m fine. I just feel a bit off lately.” I avoided his gaze.“You're not fine. Baby, you can talk to me.”He reached for my hand and gently pulled it into his.“You've been thinking about that livestream.”My fingers tightened around his. “And Vivian's message,” I said.“And your friend claimed she saw me. I understand how you feel.”I looked at him again. “You do?”“Yes, I do. I live with you, Lydia. I notice when something is bothering you.”His thumb moved slowly over my knuckles. “You think I'm hiding something from you.”I didn't answer. His silence told me he already knew.“Do you really think I would cheat on you?” He liked me with a warm expres

    For the rest of the evening, I couldn't stop thinking about Vivian's question.“Did Ronan tell you what happened that night?”Why had she looked so frightened when she asked?Ronan had refused to explain. That bothered me more than the question itself.But I decided not to push him. At least not yet. If there was something going on with Vivian, eventually I'd find out. At least, that's what I told myself.The following afternoon, I was sitting at a café with my best friend, Amelia.When she suddenly said something that made my stomach drop. “I saw Ronan yesterday.”I looked up from my coffee. “What…What do you mean?”She stirred her drink. “Ronan. Your husband.” She continued, “I saw him yesterday.”“My Ronan? Where did you see him?” I asked, my eyes darting frantically.She laughed. “I know. I'm just saying I saw him.” She shrugged, “Downtown.”I stared at her. “Downtown? You mean…?”“Yeah,” she paused. “That type of downtown.”My fingers tightened around the cup. “When?”She thought

    I didn't sleep much after seeing the message.“Did she find out?” The words kept circling through my mind.“Who was she?”“And what exactly was she supposed to find out?”I wanted to wake Ronan and ask him immediately, but something stopped me.After all, it was Vivian, his younger sister.There were a hundred innocent explanations for that message, and I wasn't going to accuse my husband based on four words.Especially after the mistake I'd made with the livestream. So I waited until morning.Morning came by too fast. Ronan was already dressed when I came downstairs. He stood by the kitchen counter, drinking coffee while scrolling through his phone.He looked up. “You're awake early.”“I couldn't sleep.” I smiled slightly, walking towards him.His eyes moved over my face. “Why?”I reached for a glass of water. “Your phone kept buzzing last night.”He looked at his phone. “Vivian? Oh! Yes, she sent me a message.”I nodded. “What did she want?”His expression changed for the briefest m
