He wants to cheat on his wife with you ? It was nearing ten at night. The city beyond your window was dozing under dim lights, and winter drummed against the glass with heavy raindrops. You sat on the couch, a cup of tea between your hands, eyes fixed on a movie you weren’t watching, couldn’t even hear. Everything in you was still… even your heart—until it stirred again. Then— A violent knock tore through the night’s silence like a slap. Desperate, erratic pounding… as if the person behind the door wasn’t knocking, but falling apart. You stood, your hand trembling as you placed the cup on the table. You walked to the door, heart thudding like the trembling windowpane. You opened it— And froze. Luca. Your ex’s boss. The man you were never supposed to go near. It had all started that day— After a vicious fight with your boyfriend, when you’d discovered—by chance—that he’d been cheating on you. He left you shattered on the sidewalk, searching for a single breath to save you from the weight of betrayal. Luca had been there. He saw you. Approached. Sat beside you. You exchanged a few words… then a few drinks. Then… meeting after meeting, glance after glance… until that night you crossed a line together. A night that wasn’t about love. Nor a fleeting moment of weakness. But two broken souls colliding at the wrong time. And when the sun rose—he vanished. As if it had never happened. Then he reappeared in the news. A grand wedding. Carla—the heiress to a massive financial empire. The same woman your boyfriend had once cheated on you with. Perfect pictures. A happy ending… on paper. But the man standing in front of you now? He was nothing but wreckage.
