The sounds, though muffled, felt like a personal betrayal, each syllable a reminder that the woman he loved was hiding something monumental from him.

As the conversation ebbed and flowed, a sense of dread grew within him, and he realized—whatever was happening in that room was far darker than he could have ever imagined. The gnawing ache of confusion and hurt settled deep in his gut as he braced himself for whatever was about to unfold.
