Ciara stood outside Callum’s office, her heart pounding in her chest. She had come to clear her mind and maybe talk things out with him, but as she approached the door, she heard something that made her blood run cold.
Moans. The unmistakable sounds of two people doing something intimate and of course, she was used to hearing it because she was so sure she sounded even wilder whenever she and Callum fuck each other.
However, this is not the right place for her to hear something indecent like that.
This is Callum’s office. So, unless it was her inside, she shouldn’t be hearing a woman moaning and screaming for her husband’s name other than her.
Her heart was hammering inside her chest. She felt like she was suffocating, and it was so hard to breathe.
“No, it can’t be,” she whispered to herself, feeling her legs turn to jelly. She reached for the doorknob but hesitated, hoping she was mistaken.
How could things suddenly turn into this?
More than ten years, that’s what Callum and her had gone through and half of them weren’t beautiful yet she was sure that from the moment they had gotten back together, Callum never made her feel like there was someone else aside from her.
Callum never made her feel like he was giving affection to someone else because he had been giving her too much
Was she wrong? Was it all a façade?
No. She refuses to believe that.
“Callum… oh, Callum, yes! Deeper, make me lose my mind!” Vanessa’s voice was clear and desperate, slicing through Ciara’s disbelief.
“Fuck, Vanessa, I just can’t get enough of you…” Callum’s words pierced through straight to her soul.
Her whole body was already shaking.
Vanessa, was meeting her actually intended? Was Vanessa trying to introduce herself to her all for this?
Ciara’s breath hitched. She looked around, hoping she was wrong. But one of Callum’s people was outside the office door, a middle–aged man named Henry was staring at her with a mix of pity and discomfort.
“Mrs. Ciara,” Henry began, his voice gentle yet firm. “You should leave. You don’t need to see this.”
Fuck. So everyone was aware…
“See what, Henry?” Ciara demanded, her voice trembling. “Tell me what’s going on!”
Henry sighed, running a hand through his graying hair. “It’s been happening for a while now. Mr. Haynes and that woman… they’ve been seeing each other. I’m so sorry.”
Ciara felt as if the ground had disappeared beneath her feet. Even though she was hearing the faint moans coming from -inside, she wanted to deny the truth. But hearing these words from Henry felt like she was losing her mind.
“No…. no, that can’t be true. He wouldn’t do that to me. To our family.”
Cara… Callum will never hurt Cara. She’s sure of that. She saw how Callum almost lost himself after everything that had happened between them.

“I wish I could say otherwise, Henry replied softly. “But it’s best you prepare yourself. Maybe think about what you want to do next. A divorce, perhaps.”
Ciara’s head was spinning. Divorce? Was this really happening? Her eyes filled with tears as she struggled to comprehend everything. Things were just happening so fast and she couldn’t keep up.
“I have to see for myself,” she said, her voice cracking.
If Callum was going to break her like this, she’d prefer to see everything once.
“Please, Mrs. Ciara,” Henry pleaded. “Don’t do this to yourself.”
But Ciara was already pushing the door open. The scene that greeted her was worse than she could have imagined. Callum was there, his back to her, thrusting into Vanessa, who was leaning over the desk, her face contorted in pleasure.
It was pure horror, a sight she never thought she would ever see.
“Callum…” she whispered. Never once in her life, had she ever thought this would happen. But it’s right straight to my face right now and she was just so heartbroken.
“Callum!” Ciara screamed, her voice filled with anguish. She was shaking in so much anger. Her heart felt like it was ripping itself apart.
Callum turned, his expression more annoyed than guilty. “Ciara, what are you doing here?”
Ciara was confused. She couldn’t understand why Callum’s reaction was like this. How come he was acting like he was not doing anything wrong?
Vanessa, still positioned on the desk, looked at Ciara with disdain. “Great, now she’s here. Can’t you keep your wife under control?”
Ciara felt a sob rising in her throat. “How could you? Callum, how could you do this to me? To us?”
Callum pulled out of Vanessa, grabbing his shirt to cover himself. “Ciara, this isn’t what it looks like.”
“Oh, really?” Ciara’s voice was shrill. They must be having fun making her look so stupid. “I can’t believe this. After everything that had happened to us and you are actually cheating on me? Really?”
Vanessa stood up, adjusting her dress nonchalantly. “Honestly, Ciara, you should have seen this coming. Callum needs a real woman, not someone who’s always falling apart.”
Tears started streaming down her cheeks.
Falling apart?
Right. I am now falling apart. I am spiraling and I am unable to control my emotions. Is this why Callum started cheating on me? Was it because I could no longer give him a child?
Ciara’s knees buckled, and she clutched the doorframe for support. “You’re… you’re all so mean. You are disgusting”
Callum’s face was stone cold. “Maybe you should go home, Ciara We’ll talk about this later.”
“Talk about what? Our ruined marriage?” Ciara screamed, tears streaming down her face.
“I’m sorry you had to find out this way,” Callum said, though his tone lacked any real remorse.
He was looking at her without any emotion. Gone was the loving gaze that he always gave her. What happened to us, Callum?

Ciara felt her world crumbling around her. She backed out of the office, nearly tripping over her own feet. She turned and ran, not stopping until she was outside, the cool air hitting her tear–streaked face.
She collapsed onto a bench, sobbing uncontrollably. The cheating, the hurt, it was all too much. How could Callum do this to her? How could he destroy their family?
As she sat there, her sobs echoing in the quiet street, she heard a voice calling her name. “Ciara! Ciara, wake up!”
Everything’s ruined now. How I can still live at this point?
“Ciara!” someone screams for her name multiple times and she jolts awake, her heart pounding. She was in the hospital bed, the early morning light filtering through the curtains. Serra was beside her, shaking her gently.
“Ciara, it’s okay. It was just a nightmare,” Serra said, her voice soothing. There were obvious tears in Serra’s eyes like she was relieved to see Ciara finally awake.
Right. They saw her passed out in her room.
Ciara blinked, tears still streaming down her face. “A nightmare?
“Yes,” Serra confirmed, sitting on the edge of the bed. “You were shouting in your sleep. What happened?”
Ciara took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. “I dreamed… I dreamed that Callum was cheating on me. It felt so real.
Serra hugged her tightly. “It’s okay, it was just a dream. Callum isn’t cheating on you. You know that Callum will never do that,”
Ciara’s body shook with sobs as she clung to her sister. “It felt so real, Serra. I could hear them. I could see them.”
“I know, I know,” Serra murmured, stroking her hair. “But it wasn’t real. You’re safe, and Callum loves you.”
Ciara pulled back, wiping her eyes. “I don’t know what’s happening to me. I feel like I’m losing my mind.”
It was so hard for her. But somehow, she was grateful that Serra was with her right now. She could no longer control her
emotions.
“You’re not losing your mind,” Serra said firmly. “You’ve been under a lot of stress. You need to take care of yourself.”
“I just feel so… lost,” Ciara admitted, her voice barely a whisper.
“Then let us help you find your way back,” Serra said. Serra was never the serious type but seeing her sister like this was just too much. “I’m here, Ciara…”
Ciara nodded, taking comfort in her sister’s words. But the fear and doubt still lingered over her heart.
She needs to see Callum.
