After He Chose His Mistress During The Blizzard

A snowstorm warning was issued, so I called Gavin to ask if he could pick me up from work. After waiting a long time, I finally received his message: "In this weather, it's too dangerous for Paloma to be alone. I'm going to get her. You should just grab a cab home." I didn't make a fuss, just replied with a simple "Okay." Late that night, Gavin's childhood friend posted something on Facebook, visible only to me. In the picture, Paloma was nestled in his arms, feeding him cheese and crackers while the storm raged outside. The caption read, "Cold winter nights are best spent at home with the one you love." Calmly, I liked the post and then deleted Gavin from my WhatsApp contacts. Damn, I'm done with this man. --- Three days after the snowstorm, Gavin finally remembered to get in touch. When he saw he couldn’t send a message, he angrily called me. "What are you playing at, Sophia?" "I mean we're breaking up," I answered calmly, then hung up the phone.

When I arrived at the office, I handed my resignation to my boss, Emmanuel. He didn't seem surprised and, with a solemn expression, advised, "Sophia, it's common for couples to have their differences. If you can both find a middle ground, things will work out. Aren't you worried Gavin might not forgive you if things escalate?" It dawned on me then that Gavin had reached out to him beforehand.

"He asked me to tell you that he's blocked you and won't be coming home tonight. He wants you to think things over."

Gavin and I had argued plenty of times, but we'd never involved others in our conflicts. This was his way of asserting control over me. In the past, the fear of losing him would have gripped me, making me swallow my pride and beg for forgiveness. But now, his antics seemed tiresome.

I clarified to Emmanuel that the breakup was definite, and I'd thoroughly considered my decision to leave. He seemed doubtful, "You've loved Gavin for so many years; are you truly ready to walk away?"

I nodded with conviction. Only then did he sigh and proceed with my resignation.

Returning home, I was surprised to find Gavin there. Paloma was twirling in a brand-new Victorian-style dress, her face glowing with excitement. "Gavin, do I look good?" she asked, spinning around.

"You look fantastic. Our Paloma is the most beautiful fairy," he replied.

As I passed by, Gavin shot me a glare and turned his attention fully to Paloma, his voice laced with flirtation. "Hey, Paloma, your zipper's down at the back. Let me help you with that."

Paloma gave me a provocative look, pretending to hesitate. "Gavin, isn't this a bit too familiar? Maybe your 'wife' should assist me instead."

Gavin scoffed, "Wife? What wife?"

Disregarding me, he zipped up Paloma's dress and slipped his arm around her shoulders, guiding her out the door intimately.

I knew he was trying to get under my skin. Previously, seeing his closeness with Paloma would have made me furious, maybe even blocking his path. But now, I felt an unexpected sense of calm settle within me.

The crystal chandeliers cast a golden glow across the Weaver estate's grand ballroom, their light dancing off champagne flutes and diamond jewelry. I stood in the corner, my white cane tapping softly against the marble floor as I tried to orient myself in this sea of voices and clinking glasses. "Nadia, darling, you look absolutely radiant tonight," Mrs. Harrington's voice dripped with false sweetness as she brushed past me. "So brave of you to come out like this." I smiled politely, though my heart wasn't in it. Five years of blindness had taught me to read people through their tones, and hers screamed pity. "Thank you," I replied, my fingers nervously twisting the engagement ring Nikolas had placed on my finger before his arrest. "I couldn't miss welcoming Nikolas home." The Homecoming Gala was in full swing—a lavish celebration for Nikolas Weaver's release from federal prison. Five years ago, I had sacrificed my eyesight to save him in that terrible car crash. Tonight was supposed to be our reunion, the beginning of our promised future together.

For five years, I worked three jobs to support my husband's dream. I poured my inheritance into his "debt" and believed we were building a life together. Today, I saw him on the news. My "struggling" husband, Jordan, is a billionaire heir, and our marriage was his five-year "Bootstrap Challenge." His real fiancée, Isabell, stood beside him.
