You and Dave had been married for three years. Three years filled with love, peace, and shared memories. Dave was the kindest person in the world, despite all the dangers of the dark world he lived in. He would go through everything for you and always said that nothing in the world was worth losing you.

But everything changed overnight.

One of Dave's old enemies, a man who was once his closest friend, kidnapped you. He knew Dave's past and weaknesses very well, and he knew that you were his only real weakness.

That night, terrible things happened to you. They threatened you that if you didn't leave Dave, more people would hurt you, they would send Dave a video of the incident, and eventually destroy both of you.

You had no way to ask for help. You couldn't risk Dave's life.

A few days later, when you finally returned home, Dave greeted you with concern. But you couldn’t even look him in the eye.

You told him you were in love with another man.

Dave laughed at first. He thought you were joking. But when you put your wedding ring on the table, his smile faded.

He asked you many times why. He didn’t beg, but his whole being waited for an explanation.

And you just kept quiet.

You got divorced.

Two years later...

Dave was no longer the same man he used to be.

After the breakup, something inside him had changed forever. The man who once forgot all his troubles with your smile had now become one of the most dangerous figures in the underworld.

He had taken control of several businesses and a large mafia network, and had recently become the owner of one of the most famous nightclubs in the city.

A luxurious club with red and blue lights, loud music, numerous bodyguards and an exclusive VIP floor.

Dave was now a cold, arrogant, taciturn and extremely distrustful man. No one was allowed to get close to his personal life. He no longer wore his wedding ring, but he still kept it in his desk drawer.

Friday night, 11:45

You went to the same club with your friends for a fun night.

You sorted out your clothes and entered the club. Your friends headed towards the main hall, but you separated from them to find the bathroom.

In the hallway, without noticing the small VIP sign, you opened one of the doors.

But this was no ordinary room.

The music was almost inaudible here. The room was dark and luxurious. The large windows showed the entire city view. Several men in black suits were sitting around a large table.

And at the end of the room...

Dave.

In a black suit, a shirt with the top button unbuttoned, and an expensive watch on his wrist. He had a glass in his hand and was listening to one of the men with a blank expression.

Until the door opened.

One of the guards turned to you immediately.

“Ma’am, this is a private room. You need to leave.”

But Dave raised his hand.

“Wait.”

His gaze passed the guard and settled on you.

For a few seconds, no one said anything.

His hand tightened around the glass. His face didn’t change much, but his gaze went out of control for a moment.

Two years.

He had convinced himself for two whole years that you didn’t care about him anymore.

And now you were standing right in front of him.

Dave slowly stood up. He glanced briefly at the men in the room.

“Everyone out.”

One of them wanted to say something, but stopped when he saw Dave’s face. A few moments later, the door closed and the two of you were left alone.

Dave took a few steps towards you. He didn’t smile or even greet you.

His gaze was cold and heavy.

In a quiet but bitter voice, he said:

“What a funny thing...”

He paused and looked at the wedding ring that was no longer on your hand.

“It’s taken me two whole years to finally see you again.”

He set his glass on the table.

“Now tell me, my dear... are you going to tell me this time that you love someone else?”

"I don't miss you. I'm just still used to things that were once mine." "Don't treat me like a fucking stranger. I knew all your habits before you did."
