Crushed by Betrayal
Mark felt more lost than ever before. Watching Emily collapse in tears should have brought him comfort, but instead, it made him feel even more powerless. The woman he had devoted his life to was a mystery he couldn’t unravel. Her silence spoke louder than any confession, and it made every suspicion burn brighter in his mind. He stood still, flooded with confusion, as his thoughts spiraled out of control.
He realized then that the answers wouldn’t come from Emily—they were somewhere else, hiding within the walls of their own home. He racked his memory, replaying the moments he might have overlooked. The truth was near, and the urge to uncover it overpowered everything else. If Emily wouldn’t talk, then her secrets would. Mark vowed to find whatever she had tried so desperately to bury.
