Romance
We made a pact. An agreement between best friends. He got a mother for his son and a ready-made family to help him get custody while I earned my freedom. This was my out. I didn't expect to fall in love with him. I didn't anticipate falling in love with the idea of us. I didn't expect the whole thing to collapse when he chose her. Now, I'm back in my father's house. I'm being lifted up into strong arms I didn't think I'd ever feel again. He's whispering words about forever while I'm watching out the window for my little family's return. He's tucking me into bed at night while I'm dreaming about dancing in my best friend's kitchen to his son's laughter. He's making plans to get me down the aisle. I'm trying to stitch my heart back together again.

They were close. Not inappropriate. Not scandalous. Just... close. And Seraphina noticed. She didn't knock on Dominic's office door. She hadn't in years. She was halfway inside when she stopped, seeing her husband standing with Natalia, his assistant. Dominic had his jacket off, his sleeves pushed back. Natalia stood close, laughing with him in a way that felt nothing like their usual professional conversations. Then her hand rose to his collar. Her fingers lingered, and Dominic didn't step away. "You don't have to pretend with me," Natalia said softly. Pretend. Seraphina felt something inside her give way. "I know," Dominic answered. That was all it took. Natalia moved closer, and Dominic's hand settled on her waist. He didn't stop her. Their lips met in a slow, certain kiss. But the kiss wasn't what broke Seraphina. It was the moment before it, when Dominic could have stepped back and chose not to. His hand had tightened around Natalia's waist, as though letting her go had never crossed his mind. He pulled away only when he saw Seraphina standing silently in the doorway. The color drained from his face. But it was already too late. Seraphina didn't scream or demand an explanation. She simply turned and walked away from the office and from the marriage she had believed was safe. Dominic reached the hallway too late. She was already gone, and for the first time in seven years, he had no idea how to fix what he had broken.
