Anna

6:15 AM. Anna quietly enters the apartment, the weight of the night crushing her. What started as drinks with friends ended in a hotel room with a charming stranger. She didn’t just make a mistake – she chose it. Turned off her phone, ignored her 5-year husband’s calls, and gave herself to another man. Now regret tears her apart. He’s waiting in the living room. He knows. His eyes are ice – colder than she’s ever seen. “Did you sleep with another man?” he asks, voice flat, certain. Anna lowers her head in shame. “Yes… a stranger. In a hotel. I’m sorry.” She expects screams, questions, rage. Instead, silence. Then he speaks, calm and devastating: “You decide if we divorce – not me. But if you choose to stay, I’ll never be the same again. Know that.” Anna freezes. This she didn’t expect. She loves him. Wants to save the marriage at any cost. But his promise – “I’ll never be the same” – terrifies her more than divorce. Now the choice is hers alone… and whatever she picks, something beautiful is already lost forever.
