The Comparison

The mistake was small. At least, that was what Ann kept telling herself. She sat behind her desk, staring at the report on her computer screen. One of the figures in the financial summary was wrong. It was not a huge error, but it was enough to affect the final calculation.Ann quickly corrected it. She checked the document twice before sending it again. Normally, she would have caught the mistake before submitting the report. But lately, everything seemed to require twice as much effort.Between work, taking care of her son, managing the house, dealing with her pregnancy, and trying to keep herself emotionally together, Ann sometimes felt as though her mind was constantly running in ten different directions.She rubbed her tired eyes. “It's okay,” she whispered to herself. “Just be more careful next time.”A few minutes later, her phone rang and she picked up. “Ann, Daniel wants to see you in his office.” The person at the other end relayed to her. Her heart sank. She knew exactly w

He Stopped Trusting

The meeting invitation arrived at 8:15 that morning. Ann stared at her computer screen. Executive Strategy Meeting – 10:00 a.m. She smiled faintly. For the first time in several days, something at work made her feel useful again.She opened the documents for the meeting and began preparing. She had barely finished reviewing the first report when her assistant walked into the office.“Ma'am?”Ann looked up. “Yes?”“The meeting has been changed.”Ann frowned. “Changed?”“Yes. You're no longer required to attend.” Her assistant related. Her smile disappeared. “Who said that?”“Mr. Daniel's office sent the updated list.”Ann stared at her in disbelief. “Oh.” she mouthed. The assistant hesitated. “Should I cancel the presentation you prepared?”Ann looked down at the papers on her desk. “No. Leave it.”As soon as her assistant left, Ann sat quietly. She couldn't understand what had happened. Was it an accident? Maybe Daniel had simply forgotten.She decided not to overthink it. But at 10

The Silence That Hurt More

That evening, Daniel invited a few people from the company to their home for dinner. Ann had spent most of the afternoon preparing everything. Her pregnancy made standing for long periods uncomfortable, but she refused to complain..She wanted the evening to go smoothly..She arranged the dining table, checked the food, helped her son get ready, and changed into a simple dress.When the guests arrived. They exchanged polite smiles and dinner began peacefully. People talked about the company, business, and ordinary things.Then one of the women at the table laughed. “Marriage really changes people.”Olivia, who was present and ready for that kind of conversation, smiled, “It certainly does.” She took a sip of her drink before continuing. “Some women lose themselves after marriage.”Ann's hand stopped halfway to her glass. She knew exactly where this was going. She threw a glance at Olivia but she was ignored. Olivia continued casually. “They stop caring about their appearance, their goa

A Dangerous Decision

It wasn't up to thirty minutes when Ann entered into her office that Olivia strode passed hers and walked into Daniel's office carrying two cups of coffee."Good morning, handsome." She greeted him. Daniel looked up from the words, seeing it was Olivia, he responded. "Morning.""I brought your coffee.""Thank you." His answer was plain. Olivia smiled and placed the cup on his desk. Then she sat casually on the edge of his desk. "I heard about the company event."Daniel looked at her. "The anniversary event?""Yes.""I've already been informed." He taunted trying to focus on his work. Olivia crossed her legs. "Are you attending?""Of course. I'm the managing director." He uttered.Olivia muttered. "Then I should come with you."Daniel frowned. "Why?"Olivia gave him a playful smile. "Why not?""Because it's a company event.""Exactly." She leaned closer. "And that's why it would be perfect."Daniel stared at her. "I don't understand."Olivia lowered her voice. "You know people are

Public Embarrassment

The company anniversary event was filled with lights, music, and important guests. The large hotel hall had been beautifully decorated. Employees moved around in elegant outfits while clients and business partners gathered in small groups, exchanging greetings.Ann stood near one of the tables, quietly watching the crowd. She had chosen a simple but beautiful dress that allowed enough room for her growing stomach. Her hair was neatly styled, and she wore very little makeup. She hadn't come to compete with anyone. She was there because she was Daniel's wife and because she was part of the company. That was all. Her eyes moved around the room. Then she saw them.Daniel walked through the entrance with Olivia beside him.Olivia looked stunning as always, ready to compete with her. She wore a long, elegant dress and held Daniel's arm as though it belonged there.Ann's heart sank. She immediately looked away.“You knew she was coming with him.” She told herself. Still, knowing didn't make

Regret

Daniel remained in the garden long after Ann had walked away. The music from the ballroom drifted through the open doors, but he barely heard it.His mind kept replaying the same moment. The look in Ann's eyes. The tears she had tried to hide. The way she had quietly walked away without shouting at him. Somehow, that hurt more than an argument would have.Daniel ran a hand over his face. All he wanted was to teach Ann a lesson. That was how everything had started. He had been angry with her. He believed she had become disrespectful, difficult, and impossible to live with. He had convinced himself that bringing Olivia into their home would make Ann realize what she could lose. He had told himself it was harmless. It was something temporary. A way to make his wife change.But tonight...What had he actually done? He had allowed his wife to stand in a room full of people while another woman was mistaken for her. His wife had watched Olivia walk beside him. She had watched him laugh with

Olivia's Next Move

Olivia could feel things changing. It had started at the company event. Before that night, she had been confident. She believed Daniel was slowly moving back toward her.He listened to her. He allowed her into his office. He laughed with her. He defended her whenever Ann complained.But after the event, something had shifted. Daniel became quiet. He became more distant. And worse, he had begun looking at Ann differently.Olivia sat in front of her bedroom mirror that morning, staring at her reflection. She picked up her lipstick but didn't apply it. "You're losing him." The thought made her stomach twist. "No." She shook her head. "I'm not." She had not come this far to lose Daniel again.Ann was the problem. Ann had always been the problem. If Ann had remained the exhausted, insecure woman she had been weeks ago, Olivia would have had nothing to worry about.Yet, it seemed Ann had changed. She had returned to work. She was taking care of herself.She was becoming confident again. And

Family Confrontation

Ann stood near the staircase, one hand resting gently against the railing while Daniel stood in the middle of the room, already irritated."Who told you we're getting divorced?" he asked.Margaret shook her head. "That's not the point.""It is the point.""Daniel—""No. I want to know who started this."His father spoke calmly. "We have heard it from several people.""People talk.""Then why are you so angry?"Daniel looked at his father. "I'm not angry.""You are."Daniel laughed bitterly. "Everyone seems to know what's happening in my marriage except me." If it was a rumor, he was never going to allow them accept it. It was only a rumor and it must end as a rumor. Ann lowered her eyes. She didn't want to be part of the conversation.Margaret noticed. "Ann, perhaps you should—""It's okay," Ann said quietly.His mother looked between them. "Daniel, people are saying your marriage is falling apart.""It isn't anyone's business.""It's our family's business when people are discussing

The Door She Closed

Late that night, Daniel stood outside Ann's bedroom. He had been standing there for several minutes, staring at the closed door.His mother's words were still ringing in his ears.“Are you destroying your own home to prove a point?”Daniel had tried not to think about it but the more he thought about everything that had happened, the harder it became to deny the truth.Things had gone too far. Much too far that he couldn't control . He finally gathered all the courage left in him and knocked on the door of the visitor's room where Ann had decided to sleep for the night but there was no response. He knocked again this time calling out her name. "Ann?"After a few seconds, her voice came from inside. "Come in."Daniel opened the door to see Ann was sitting on the edge of the bed. She was quietly folding their son's clothes and arranging them neatly beside her.She looked tired but her face was calm yet, the sadness in her eyes was impossible to miss.Daniel stepped inside. "I want to t

The Woman He No Longer Recognizes

The next morning, Daniel woke up before his alarm. For a few seconds, he stared at the ceiling, trying to remember what had happened last night. He turned his head toward the other side of the bed and realized he was the only one sleeping on the large size bed. A bitter wave washed over him as he struggled to leave the bed. Ann was already awake as usual by the time he got downstairs. She was moving around the kitchen as she prepared breakfast. The look on her face looked completely normal and that was the first thing that unsettled him.Ann wasn't crying this time. She doesn't seem angry. She was simply looking... calm."Good morning," Daniel greeted, trying to make sure he didn't give her the way she wanted. He had wronged her and he wouldn't pretend nothing had happened. Ann turned instantly to look at her. "Good morning." It was a polite greeting.Daniel stood for a moment before uttering, "Did you sleep well?""Yes." She nodded her head nonchalantly and returned to what she wa
