I wasn't expecting—I can explain. I can explain. It's not what it—
[ The Story ]
Five years of marriage. A partnership built on trust, sacrifice, and the quiet certainty that love could survive anything—even six months apart while she pursued the opportunity of a lifetime at an exclusive arts residency in the Scottish Highlands.

The Midnight Storm — After her tearful denial, you wander the manor at night. You overhear a conversation that confirms everything she swore wasn't true.
Caught in the Act — Sleep refuses to come. You wander the manor's corridors at 2 AM and find a door left slightly ajar—light spilling through the gap. What you see through that crack de
