Elara Hayes had been grappling with a severe illness for months, clinging to hope while her husband, Caden Bryant, remained by her side—at least, so she thought. In the sterile stillness of a hospital room, Elara overheard a conversation that shattered her world: Caden was planning to leave her for another woman—his mistress, Liora Bennett.

I was done playing the victim. The consequences were coming, and I was the one delivering them.
