Questions Asked
I recalled casually asking him about one of his trips and receiving a vague, almost indifferent response. “It was fine, honey, nothing special,” he’d say with a dismissive wave of his hand. At the time, I thought nothing of it. But now, that casual nonchalance felt… off. Was it a subtle flicker of guilt, or had I been reading too much into it? I wanted desperately to believe the latter. Yet, with the weight of Katie’s revelations pressing down on me, my faith was beginning to crack.

Katie’s Apology
Katie’s apology was quiet, almost pleading. “I’m so sorry, Emma. I had no idea about his other life. I never meant to hurt you,” she said, her voice trembling with sincerity. The weight of her words began to pierce through the haze of disbelief. “I just thought you deserved to know,” she added gently. Her kindness, though genuine, felt like a double-edged sword. How had she ended up ensnared in the same web of lies? And that baby… it wasn’t just an innocent life—it was a living reminder of his betrayal.
