The Special Guest of the Night
The first guest to arrive was a woman Emma didn’t recognize. She was stunning, with long brown hair and a tall, elegant frame. Emma was usually great with faces, but this one didn’t ring any bells. What stood out even more was the way Dominic lit up around her. His eyes followed the woman across the room, and he seemed far too eager to talk to her.
Emma tried to brush it off at first, assuming it was just polite conversation. But as the night went on, her discomfort only grew. Dominic barely paid attention to anyone else, and his behavior was far from casual. Emma stood there watching, feeling a growing sense of isolation and betrayal. This wasn’t how a husband should behave at his own birthday party—and definitely not how he should treat his wife.
