I stood in the doorway, my eyes fixed on my mother-in-law's guilty face. The revelation hit me like a ton of bricks, and I felt my world crashing down around me."You knew," I whispered, my voice trembling with anger and hurt. "You knew about Mira's pregnancy, didn't you?"Martha’s eyes darted away, her gaze avoiding mine.

As I stood in my room, surrounded by the silence and the weight of my doubts, I couldn't shake off the feeling of betrayal and hurt. The dress, once a symbol of joy and love, now felt like a suffocating shroud, a reminder of the lies and deception that had torn us apart.I thought back to the moment when I discovered his infidelity, the pain and shock that had left me reeling.
