Mira couldn’t hide the bitterness in her heart, the thought of forgetting Elias completely after her surgery weighing heavily on her. She had just come from the hospital with the MRI results, intending to share them with him. After all, they had been childhood sweethearts for years—dating, then marrying—never keeping secrets from each other.
But what she hadn’t expected was to discover that her husband was planning a wedding with another woman. It was absurd. If he truly had no guilt, why would he go to such lengths to hide it from her?
Her phone rang, snapping her from her thoughts.
"Hello?" Mira answered, her voice calm.
"Mira, I have a mission tonight and won’t be able to spend our anniversary with you," Elias' voice came through, regret lacing his words. "When things settle down, we’ll make it up."
"Okay," she replied, her tone flat.
Just as she was about to hang up, her eyes caught something on her screen. Vera had posted a new Twitter update two minutes ago.

The post included a picture of sliced meat and vegetables, alongside a selfie of Vera wearing pajamas and sitting in a wheelchair.
