The polished marble floor of the master bathroom sparkled under the bright morning light. Victoria stood near the edge of the oversized Jacuzzi tub, her black silk dress fitting her perfectly. She smoothed her skirt, her face completely calm, showing no emotion at all.
Victoria: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.
Water splashed over the side of the tub as Julian jumped back, his eyes wide with terror. His face turned red, then completely pale as he looked at his wife.
Julian: THIS ISN'T WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!
A young woman with long dark hair cowered behind Julian, pulling a soaked towel over her shoulders as she tried to hide in the bubbling water.
Victoria: Really, Julian? Because it looks like you forgot about our anniversary dinner upstairs.
Julian: Victoria, please! Let me explain! She means nothing to me!
Chloe: Julian! You told me you were already divorced!
Victoria: Did he tell you that, Chloe? That's funny, because my ring is still on my finger.
Julian: Victoria, stop talking to her! Just listen to me for one second!
Victoria: I'm not the one you should be explaining this to.
Julian: What are you talking about? Who else is here?
Victoria: I invited a few special guests to celebrate ten years of marriage with us.
Julian froze, his hands gripping the tile edge of the Jacuzzi as footsteps echoed down the grand hallway outside the bathroom.
Julian: Victoria... what did you do?
Victoria: I just gave everyone the invitation you deserved.
The heavy double doors of the master bathroom swung wide open with a loud thud against the white walls.
Julian: Oh no... no, no, no.
Evelyn Vance stood in the doorway in her elegant cream suit, surrounded by senior board members and family relatives. Her eyes locked onto her son in the water, her face turning dark with pure rage. Victoria stepped back, her eyes shining with cold determination as the trap she had built for six months finally closed around her cheating husband.
