I thought it was going to be the most romantic night of my life. My husband Simon, usually so reserved, surprised me with a candlelit dinner — the kind of gesture he had never made in years. Candles glowed, soft music played, and he smiled at me like we were newlyweds again. But beneath the warmth in his eyes, something felt off.

Halfway through the evening, Simon finally confessed. “I made a mistake,” he said, voice trembling. My heart stopped as he admitted he’d been seeing someone else — and she might be pregnant. The air left my lungs. I could barely whisper, “Who is she?” That’s when he picked up his phone, called someone in, and the front door creaked open. It was my sister.

I collapsed. When I came to, she was kneeling beside me, and Simon was offering water like nothing was wrong. “How could you both do this to me?” I cried. My sister’s voice cracked: “We didn’t plan it… it just happened.” The betrayal cut deeper than I could bear. Two people I trusted more than anyone had destroyed my world in a single night.

Through tears, I found my voice. “Get out. Both of you.” They hesitated until I screamed, and the click of the door behind them sealed the end of everything I thought I knew. That night, I sobbed until I couldn’t breathe, knowing the life I had built was gone. My trust was shattered, and I had no idea if I’d ever feel whole again.
