Rehana was strolling through the garden before sunset, craving a breath of fresh air after a long day.
But something caught her attention in a shadowed corner between the trees.
There, she witnessed a scene that turned her heart upside down.
Elena, Leonardo's first wife, stood with a strange man, their eyes locked in an intimate gaze before their lips met in a long kiss.
Rehana's heart jolted violently, a storm of shock, anger, and betrayal surging through her all at once.
Every part of her body screamed with warning, yet she didn't move.
She took a small step forward, then froze; any sound could expose her, any motion could make this the final moment before discovery.
Her mind was overwhelmed with clashing emotions: betrayal, fury, sorrow, jealousy, and deep emotional pain.
She whispered faintly to herself:
— "So this is the secret you tried to hide… but I saw it all."
A lump rose in her throat, and she began to realize that confrontation was now inevitable—an explosion was near.
