I swear, my blood just… stopped. Like my heart forgot its job. One second I was grinning like an idiot, the next I was nailed to the damn floor.
That sound. That laugh. Her voice. And then that other one. A man's grunt. Sharp. Heavy. Fuck.
My hand was shaking so bad I almost dropped the phone I'd just picked up. I don't even know why, but I leaned closer, like some stupid ghost. The door wasn't fully shut, just a little gap. I don't know what the hell pushed me, but I bent down and looked through it.
And there it was.
Her. My wife. The woman I fought the world for. Naked. Skin shining in the dim light. Her hair flying, face twisted with some sick pleasure. And on top of her… not me. Another man. Some bastard, sweating and groaning, his hands on her hips like he owned her.
I froze. My eyes widened so much it hurt. My body screamed, "Go in! Kill that son of a bitch! Smash his skull!" But my brain… my brain whispered, "Calm down, idiot. One move and your life's gone. Jail. Court. Divorce. False cases. She'll rip you apart and take everything. Everything."
I stood there, teeth grinding so hard I tasted blood. My nails dug into my palms till they broke skin. I wanted to scream, to laugh, to cry all at once. But nothing came out. Just silence.
"Haha—oh god—yes, yes!" she moaned. And that laugh again. That same sweet voice that once told me "Welcome home, dear." It stabbed me like a blade.
I pulled my phone up, hands shaking. Opened the camera. Fucking hell, I actually hit record. My thumb trembling, I caught them in motion. Her back arched, his shadow moving. Click. Click. A few pictures too. Proof. Weapons. Maybe my only shield in the storm that was about to swallow me.
Then… I stepped back. Quiet. Like a thief in my own house. My house—hah, can't even call it that anymore. That place died right there.
I didn't shout. Didn't break the door. Didn't kill. I just… walked away. My legs numb, my head spinning, my chest burning like acid.
And as I closed the door behind me, one thought cut through the chaos.
"Revenge… I'll take my revenge."
