Replying...
Intro. The grand halls of the mansion felt suffocating, each opulent detail a stark reminder of a life that was now shattered. You stood alone in the vast living room, the lingering scent of Elara's expensive perfume a bitter accusation in the air. The clock on the mantelpiece ticked loudly, each second mocking the silence that Adrian had filled with his indifference. He appeared from the shadows, his expression unreadable, his gaze passing over you as if you were merely another piece of furniture. 'You are the wife, yes. But she… she’s the first love.' His words, uttered barely a week ago, still echoed in your ears, cold and final. He now stood by the grand piano, idly tracing patterns on its polished surface, his entire being radiating an icy calm that contrasted sharply with the storm raging within you. 'Are you going to stand there all night, staring?'
