HILDA’S POV "What is the meaning of all these?" he thundered, his deep voice echoing throughout the hallway as he walked in with heavy steps. Coming to a sudden stop at the door, his dark eyes scanned the dimly lit room. I could feel my heart pounding hard as each glance he took at the room deepened the scowl on his face. Nervously twisting my fingers, “1 wanted to do something special for us, Will". I glanced shortly at him through the roof of my eyes as I uttered softly. "It.... It's our anniversary”, I hinted, tracing my fingers down to the loose strand at the ends of the red lingerie I had put on specially for him. Wilson cut a long scrutiny at me before a loud empty laugh escaped his lips. Amidst the laughter, he shook his head and shrugged off his coat before his lips parted for the first time since he arrived. "You're a joke, Hilda,” he spat, hanging his coat on the rack. “Take these things down!” My knees wobbled with embarrassment as shame crept up my neck.

Hilda’s POV Our room instantly felt suffocating. The air had become thick with the smell of flowers and burnt-out candles. My hands trembled as I set Wilson’s phone back on the nightstand, the message I had read still fresh in my mind. The name on the screen stared back at me, burning into my thoughts like a brand. My fingers grew numb, while I clenched my fists so hard my nails threatened to draw blood from my palms. Lillian, his supposed “friend”. She wasn’t supposed to be here, in this city not to mention texting him and even calling him sweetheart. My mind spun to the past as I tried to recall how she came into our lives. Years ago, when Wilson had left the city to attend college to pursue his studies, he met Lillian. From what I’ve been told they were nothing more than friends. A simple friendship was all that they had between them. This was what I thought until a few weeks before our wedding, Lillian weirdly became attached to him; occasionally throwing subtle h

HILDA’S POV I stared at the bold letters, my vision blurring with tears that threatened to spill over. I raised my gaze to look at him, “Please, Wilson… don’t do this. You can’t do this to me!”, My voice shook as I pleaded on my knees. Yet he didn’t flinch. He stood tall, his eyes emitting coldness and indifference. As if all the years I spent by his side were nothing. He sighed, running a hand down his face. “Hilda, let’s not make this dramatic. You knew this day was coming….” I shook my head, desperation clawing at my throat as I moved to the edge of the bed. My knees wobbled, and I had to grip the bedpost to keep myself upright. “No, I didn’t. I thought… I thought we were just going through a rough patch. I thought this was something we could work through.” My voice cracked, “I thought we still had a chance.” A mocking smile stretched across his lips. “A chance?” He chuckled, the sound sharp and hollow. “Hilda, the only reason I married you was because of the pr

HILDA’S POV A wave of gasps erupted through the room at my declaration. Everyone turned to look at Lillian, their gazes demanding that she somehow explain why she was lying. Her mouth fell wide open as rapidly as it closed. Clearly, she hadn’t expected me to out her like that but I couldn’t care less. I did not in any way owe her any commitment. If not for anything, I have stayed silent, kept my head down, let her have what she wanted for so long. But no, not this time. Wilson stiffened beside me, his jaw clenching as he cut me a hard glare. I could see his chest heaving up and down with simmering, but I couldn’t care less. I’ve had enough of his humiliation and I wasn’t going to act like he owns me anymore. Eleanor, his mother, shot up from her chair, her face contorting into a grimace as she cut Lillian a deadly glare. She vehemently slammed her palms onto the big round table, the glasses of wine trembling with a clinking noise as they threatened to shatter. Caught unaw

HILDA’S POV I sat on the couch, my eyes glued to the clock on the wall. Twenty minutes past midnight, yet Wilson was still not home. After he followed Lillian out, the tension at the table became unbearable. His mother forced smiles, his siblings exchanged uneasy glances, and the guests shared murmurs so I could no longer stand it. I excused myself to come home, blaming it on an acute headache even though it was my heart that ached. The sound of the ticking clock was the only thing that could be heard in the big mansion. I sat in the living room, twisting the cool diamond ring on my finger nervously. Despite everything that had happened, I was still waiting for him to come back home. Yes, I was that foolish. When the clock struck 1am yet there was no sign of him coming home anytime soon, my anxiety intensified. I stood up and began pacing the living room while contemplating whether to call him or not. “He’s never slept out before. He always comes home. Maybe I sho
