A few days later, I found myself mindlessly scrolling through social media, trying to numb the swirling thoughts that had taken over my mind. I told myself I wouldn’t check Nicolas’s profile, but my fingers had a will of their own.
When I landed on his page, my heart stopped.
There it was—a post that gleamed mockingly at me. A picture of Nicolas, Stella, and their baby. They were standing in a beautifully manicured garden, the sun casting a golden glow over them. Nicolas held Stella close, a genuine smile on his face as he looked at the camera. Stella, radiant and glowing, held their child, her expression filled with nothing but joy.
The caption read: "Cherishing every moment with the ones who matter most. Family is everything."
I froze, the blood draining from my face.
Was this a jok
