A Mysterious Phrase
One evening, while combing through yet another late-night call recording, Mark heard something that froze him in place. A woman’s voice—Emily’s or someone else’s—mentioned, “the truth about your husband.” The phrase echoed in Mark’s mind like a bell tolling in the distance. He replayed the clip repeatedly, desperate to make out the surrounding words, but they remained muffled and indistinct. Still, that single line was enough to send his heart racing and his mind spiraling.
What truth could Emily possibly know about him? He tried to think back—was there anything in his past she could be referencing? Was it related to his blindness? His surgery? Or was there something about his identity he himself didn’t know? Mark’s thoughts turned paranoid, even chaotic. Suddenly, everything seemed connected: her secrecy, the strange money, the meetings. That one phrase had cracked the surface, revealing the possibility that the mystery wasn’t just about her—but about him too.
