Amelia opened her eyes, and as she turned to the right side of the bed, a wave of disappointment washed over her. The emptiness beside her felt more profound than ever before.

With a heavy heart, she recalled the familiar pattern of their arguments. Every time they clashed, he would storm out and return in the early hours of the next day. But this time, it felt different. He wasn't there, seeking forgiveness with a heartfelt apology and a thoughtful gift as he had done in the past.

Still reeling from the events of the previous day, Amelia tried to quell her anger. She loved her husband deeply, and despite the hurt, she couldn't hold onto her anger for too long. Her emotions were a tangled mess, a mix of love, frustration, and sadness.

As she reached for her phone on the nightstand, she noticed numerous notifications waiting for her. Puzzled, she unlocked her phone, wondering what could have garnered so much attention.

To her surprise, she found a flood of social media notifications. It seemed that her husband, Richarlison, had become the center of attention on various platforms.

She felt a weird feeling but then clicked on a Tweet and read it.

{BREAKING NEWS}
The well-known Tottenham football player Richarlison was seen last night at the popular nightclub Cherrylights. According to a witness, Richarlison was not in a good mood, and supposedly extremely drunk.

"Oh, God" Amelia seethed with frustration. The argument with her husband had left her upset, and now, upon seeing the tweet about his wild night out, her anger began to simmer.

Amelia wanted to confront him immediately, to demand an explanation for his reckless behavior. But she took a deep breath and decided to give herself some time to cool off before engaging in another heated exchange.

"I'll just let it be for now," she thought, determined to wait until Richarlison made the first move.

As she reached for her phone, she noticed a flurry of notifications on Whatsapp. Sofia, her best friend, had sent her a torrent of messages.

A sigh left Amelia's mouth.

An overwhelming sense of misery consumed Richarlison's body. Every inch of him, from his head to his back, limbs, and legs, ached with a heavy burden, and perhaps even his heart bore the weight of his pain.

Throughout the night, Richarlison remained wide awake, unable to close his eyes even for a moment. The guilt and regret over the argument with Amelia lingered, making it impossible for him to seek solace at home with her and Joana. He knew that Amelia was likely still angry with him, and the thought of facing her wrath kept him away.

Sleeping over at a friend's place wasn't an option either, leaving him with no choice but to endure the long night in solitude. Each passing minute only deepened his longing to make things right and to be back with his family.
