As usual, she woke up next to her "dear" husband. She slipped on her slippers and slowly walked to the bathroom, where she brushed her teeth and took a quick shower. Afterward, she went to the closet, put on her navy blue scrubs, and headed downstairs. Lately, she had been noticing his strange behavior. At first, he was cold and indifferent, but now, all of a sudden, he seemed interested in her again.
Suspicious...
In the kitchen, she wanted just a simple breakfast of toast with peanut butter and some orange juice-nothing fancy, but enough to fill her stomach. As she approached the front door, she thought about how she might have lingered at home instead of going to work early, perhaps if she still loved him. After his infidelity, however, she simply gave him what he wanted and didn't even say good morning.

Sebastian's POV
He stretched in bed, turning around, expecting to see his wife, but she wasn't there. A frown creased his face as he realized she was either getting ready for her morning shift or, worse, had already left the house. He picked up his phone to check messages; his mistress had texted him throughout the night. He had chosen to ignore her messages for a few days. He missed the times when he and his wife were romantic and affectionate, and he regretted pushing her away and hurting her feelings.
He tried hard to think of ways to rekindle the spark in their marriage. He remembered his wife's best friend, Alex-he had been jealous of him in the past, and those feelings of jealousy resurfaced, haunting him deep inside. He shouldn't even feel this way, especially since he was the one cheating on his beautiful wife with her own best friend.
He looked at her recent text messages:
"When are you going to leave her?"
"Why haven't you been talking to me these past few days?"
"Are you with your wife right now? You promised to be with me and said you loved me more than her."
"Let's run away together."
"WHERE ARE YOU?!"
He could see how she was starting to become obsessed with him, and he contemplated blocking her until she calmed down. He was trying so hard to reconnect with his wife the way they used to, but he felt pushed away and ignored.
What did I ever do to deserve this?
As if he were too stupid to realize it, he had cheated on her. Maybe this was karma coming back to bite him where it hurt. That was exactly what he deserved. What if she was cheating on him right now? No... he couldn't bear to imagine that- I can't-
He missed her touch, her kisses, her smile, and her sweet words whispered in his ear. Most of all, he missed the intimacy they once shared. He regretted pushing her away the last time she tried to connect with him; he felt too dirty to be touched by her, and now... he had lost his wife.
He couldn't help but let out a silent sob.
