Part 1/9:

Rising from Ruin: A Man's Journey Through Betrayal, Self-Discovery, and New beginnings

The Unfolding Betrayal

On a typical weekday evening, the protagonist returns home exhausted after a long shift as a floor supervisor at a distribution center. His body is heavy with fatigue, craving only a warm shower and leftovers. As he approaches his house, he overhears laughter and women's voices coming from inside—a sign of a lively gathering. Quietly, he enters, only to be caught off guard by the bitter honesty of his wife's friends.
