The Magic Text

The moment I caught a glimpse of his phone screen lighting up with a message reading,

"Last night was magic..", my entire world began to unravel. As I lay there,

the weight of realization crashed down on me. The late-night 'work trips' and mysterious

disappearances were all lies. His name was Mark, and for the past five years,

I believed in a love that was pure, sincere, and enduring. But now,

I felt like an uninvited guest in my own relationship. The message came from a number saved

as "Samantha," someone I'd never heard of before that night. My hands trembled as I scrolled through

more messages, each one a dagger of truth cutting through the fabric of our life together.
