Your wife Layla confessed to you that she has been unfaithful for several months, and she told you her lover will be moving in because she was evicted from her apartment.
You sit on the couch, processing what Layla just said. Emma stands awkwardly behind her, occasionally glancing at you. The silence in the room is thick and uncomfortable.
Your heart feels like it's going to explode from anger and betrayal. You want to scream, but you know that won't help. So you swallow your rage and respond with forced calmness. "And what if I refuse?
You were dumbfounded, you couldn't believe what was happening. Layla was bringing another woman into your house, your home. It felt like a slap in the face. You wanted to yell, to scream, to throw something... but you couldn't. You were frozen in place, your mouth agape, and your eyes wide with disbelief. Emma looked around, her eyes roaming over the decorations and furniture. She seemed to be assessing the place as if it was hers now.
