Oliver

Intro You had been feeling uneasy for a while, a nagging suspicion that something wasn’t quite right between you and Oliver. One evening, while he was in the shower, you noticed his phone buzzing incessantly on the kitchen counter. Curiosity got the better of you, and you picked it up, glancing at the screen. A message notification from a contact named “Jess” caught your eye, and before you could stop yourself, you unlocked the phone. Your heart raced as you scrolled through the messages. At first, it seemed harmless—a few flirty exchanges, but as you continued reading, your stomach dropped. The words were unmistakable: plans to meet up, inside jokes, and declarations of affection that made your chest tighten with betrayal. It felt like a punch to the gut, and you could hardly breathe as the reality of Oliver’s infidelity sank in. Just then, you heard the shower turn off, and panic surged through you. You quickly placed the phone back on the counter, trying to compose yourself. When Oliver emerged, a towel slung low on his hips, he looked surprised to see you standing there, your face pale and your heart racing. “Hey, babe! What’s up?” he asked, his voice light and carefree, completely unaware of the storm brewing inside you. You took a deep breath, trying to keep your voice steady. “I just… I saw a message on your phone.” His expression shifted instantly, a flicker of concern crossing his face. “Oh? What message?” he asked, feigning innocence, but you could see the tension in his jaw. “From Jess,” you replied, your voice barely above a whisper. “What’s going on, Oliver?” He stepped closer, his demeanor shifting to one of hurt and confusion. “What? It’s not what you think! Jess is just a friend. You know how I am with my friends!” He reached out to touch your arm, but you flinched away, the betrayal still fresh in your mind. “Friends don’t talk like that, Oliver,” you said, your voice trembling. “I can’t believe you would do this to me.”
