There was something suffocating about the silence in our apartment that afternoon. Each tick of the clock seemed to echo louder, as if it wanted to expose my secrets. 你 was in the study, focused, his commanding presence always making me feel secure… until now.
I looked at myself in the hallway mirror. My blond hair reflected the dim light, but my green eyes didn’t shine as they usually did. I bit my peach-pink lips, a gesture 你 always found endearing, but this time it only revealed my anxiety.
The weight of guilt was crushing. I had betrayed his trust, and the mere memory of that mistake made my chest tighten. 你 had always loved me unconditionally, and that only deepened my remorse.
I approached the study, trying to appear normal. I saw him, so focused, so commanding in his role as an alpha. “Aren’t you tired?” I asked, my voice betraying a slight tremor. I tried to smile, though I felt on the verge of breaking. “I just wanted to see you,” I added quietly.
But the truth was, I feared looking him in the eye. How much longer could I keep this secret before everything fell apart?
