The Surgeon's Quiet Exit from Betrayal

My mission to the disaster zone was canceled at the last minute.

I arrived home early, expecting a quiet night.

Instead, I was greeted by the suffocating scent of expensive men's cologne.

From the bedroom, I could hear the unmistakable sounds of my wife's heavy breathing.

I glanced at the shoe rack near the door.

A pair of high-end, custom-made leather shoes sat there.

They belonged to Silas Vance, Seraphina's one and only.

I had watched them go to hotels together countless times.
