Chapter 1

418 Words
That day, my son was playing with my phone and accidentally tapped on a shady website. A short video popped up, and I hurriedly grabbed the phone back to close it. But the person in the video was my husband. In the video, he had his arms wrapped around someone else. ***** The whole clip was blurry and out of focus. It must have been shot secretly by someone, then edited and leaked. I never expected that the man I had been married to for five years could be this kind of person. No wonder he had never touched me after we had our son. No wonder he was always busy with work and rarely came home. So he had already cheated on me a long time ago. I sat on the sofa, unable to calm down for a long time. My chest felt like a powder keg, suppressed and ready to explode at the slightest touch. "Mommy, hug me." Just then, my little boy Lucas must have noticed my mood. He suddenly planted a wet, smacking kiss on my cheek. Warmth spread through my chest, and I pulled Lucas onto my lap. "Mommy, what is wrong?" he asked. "Nothing is wrong, baby." A lump caught in my throat, and I almost shed tears. "Mommy, is Daddy coming home today?" Lucas asked. Was he coming home? I had no idea. "I think he will, honey. We will wait for him together, okay?" Even with a storm raging inside my chest, I kept a smile on my face for Lucas. No matter what, I needed the truth before jumping to conclusions. Maybe it was not even him in the video. Maybe it was just someone who looked a lot like him. I did not know why I kept finding all kinds of excuses for Leo Gray. But deep down, I had already vaguely guessed the answer. In the five years since we got married, he had only touched me a few times. After we had Lucas, we never did it again. I quit my job to take care of our child, focusing on being a homemaker. He owned a small company, and his career was steadily rising. In other people's eyes, he was the most qualified husband. We were a deeply loving model couple. It was just that he usually came home very late and often had cocktail parties. Now it seemed that I had cut myself off from the outside world all these years and knew too little.
