Part 4/11:
Instead of reacting with anger or violence, the narrator chose a strategic approach. During a seemingly innocent family brunch, he exposed Melissa’s infidelity publicly, presenting receipts, photos, and evidence of her drugging him. Melissa's dismissive and cold response—claiming they hadn’t been in love since 2015—shocked everyone. Her attempt to normalize her actions, coupled with her arrogant dismissal of their decade-long marriage, illuminated the extent of her coldness and detachment.
