Sarah's POVThe house had finally become quiet.After everything that had happened earlier that day, I should have felt relieved. Anna was gone. The shouting had stopped. The front door had closed behind her, taking the chaos with it.Yet the silence she left behind felt louder than the argument itself.I sat alone in the living room, absentmindedly tracing circles on the rim of the teacup Eleanor had insisted I drink from. The tea had long gone cold, but I hadn't noticed. My mind was somewhere else entirely.Every time I blinked, I saw Anna's face again. The confidence in her eyes. The certainty in her smile. The way she had looked directly at Adrian and asked if he was afraid she would reveal his secrets.Most of all...The way Adrian had reacted. He looked angry, not surprised, nor embarrassed.I shook my head, trying to chase the thought away before it grew into something bigger."No," I whispered to myself."I promised him."I had promised to trust him. Marriage couldn't survive

Sarah's POVBy the time evening arrived, the warmth of the afternoon had faded into a cool breeze that drifted through the open windows. The house felt unusually peaceful. I had spent most of the day reading, taking short walks around the garden, and trying not to think too much about everything that had happened over the last few days.I had almost convinced myself that life was slowly returning to normal.The sound of a car pulling into the driveway made me put my book aside.A few seconds later, I heard the front door open, followed by familiar footsteps echoing through the hallway."I'm home."Adrian's voice carried easily through the quiet house.A smile spread across my face before I even realized it."I'm in the living room," I called back.Within moments, he appeared in the doorway.His tie had already been loosened, and there was obvious exhaustion written across his face, but the instant his eyes landed on me, his expression softened."There you are."I laughed quietly. "You

Sarah's POVThe silence that settled over the house after Adrian left was almost comforting.I stood by the front door for several moments after his car disappeared beyond the gates, smiling to myself as I replayed our conversation. He had reminded me at least three different times to stay indoors, to call him if I needed anything, and to let him know immediately if anyone unfamiliar came looking for me. At first, I had found it amusing, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized it came from a place of concern.Ever since Anna's unexpected appearance, Adrian had changed. He was more attentive than ever, more protective than he had ever been since our marriage. Part of me wondered if he blamed himself for what had happened. If he thought that by telling me about Anna sooner, he could have prevented everything. The thought alone made me feel sorry for him.Closing the door behind me, I wandered back into the living room. The house was unusually quiet, almost too quiet. Eleano

Sarah's POV The moment my phone finished turning on, it vibrated repeatedly, one notification after another filling the screen until I could barely keep up. My heart pounded as I stared at the unknown number. Adrian sat beside me, his hand still resting gently over mine, but I noticed the subtle change in his expression. The calm confidence he had shown moments ago had disappeared, replaced by something much harder to read. He wasn't looking at me anymore. His eyes were fixed on the phone."Go ahead," he said quietly.I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat before opening the conversation.The first message was painfully simple. “You trusted the wrong people.”I frowned.Below it was another. “Don't believe them, they're using you”There was an attachment.My fingers hesitated over it. "What is it?" I whispered.Adrian's jaw tightened. "I don't know."I tapped it. A photograph slowly loaded onto the screen. It showed Adrian standing beside Anna in what looked like a corporate ban

Sarah's POVThe front door clicked shut behind Adrian, and the sound lingered in the quiet house far longer than it should have. I remained standing where he had left me, my eyes fixed on the empty driveway long after his car had disappeared beyond the gates. Usually, watching him leave for work filled me with a strange sense of contentment. I would smile to myself, close the door, and begin planning how to spend my day until he returned. Today was different. My smile never came.Instead, I found myself replaying every word we had exchanged over breakfast, every glance he had shared with Eleanor, and every explanation he had given me the night before. None of them sounded entirely false, yet none of them erased the doubts quietly taking root in my heart.With a heavy sigh, I walked back into the house. The silence felt unfamiliar, almost uncomfortable. It was as though the walls themselves had begun holding secrets. I hated that thought the moment it crossed my mind. This was supposed
