When She Changed, My Love Faded

On my daughter's third birthday, I canceled all my evening appointments and left work early. This day was too important. Last night, I made plans with Skyler to celebrate our daughter's birthday together, just the three of us as a family. No guests, no distractions—just Aria, Skyler and me.

As I stepped up to the door, I felt a rare anticipation. I punched in the code and the familiar click of the lock followed. But as soon as I pushed the door open, something was off. At the entrance, a pair of sleek black leather shoes caught my eye. A pair that definitely didn't belong to me. My heart clenched tightly in my chest, my thoughts spiraling into dark places. There's another man in the house.
