A Crazy Night Novel

Time stood still, and an intense silence filled the space, signaling the gravity of Christina’s words.

Her statement acted as a definitive red light, bringing their relationship to a halt.

I don’t mind how others criticize or perceive me, but Nathaniel is different. He’s my husband, and I’m his wife. Shouldn’t we be honest with each other and have complete trust? This constant doubt, secrecy, and questioning are draining me. I feel emotionally exhausted.

Nathaniel lifted his head and reached out to take her hand. His voice had softened considerably. “It was my fault for not handling the situation properly. I’ll address it tomorrow, I promise.”

Christina let him wrap his arms around her, her body feeling limp like a broken doll. Her lashes concealed her unfocused eyes. Despite their tight embrace, they felt like strangers in each other’s arms.

After some time, when they got tired of standing, Nathaniel carried Christina into the bedroom.

He held her tightly, feeling the rhythm of her heartbeat against his chest. Breathing in her delicate scent, he found solace as if the entire world had gone silent at that moment.

At dawn, Christina awoke to find herself alone in the apartment.

She rose from the bed and freshened up before getting dressed, ready to find a new location for her office.

Without hesitation, Christina blocked her path warily. “Let’s talk outside.”

Madison folded her arms and demanded, “Christina, you keep causing Nathaniel pain. When will you put an end to this?”

Did she come all the way here just to say that?

Christina let out an icy snort. “Who are you to intervene in our relationship? Are you a home wrecker?”

Madison must’ve contributed to the scandal, huh?

Madison scowled. “You’ll only harm Nathaniel by staying with him. Can you leave him?”
