"I had been working away from my wife and son for a few days, due to work obligations, with a constant unease, worried about their safety. Although logically, it should be impossible for anything bad to happen to them living in a neighborhood surrounded by good people, I still couldn''t shake this worry from my mind. Even knowing that my wife Lilith is much stronger and more skilled physically than I am, I still want to be a support figure they can rely on if needed. After all, I am her husband and now also a father, I must at least prove that I am worthy of my wife''s love and my little son''s respect.


    With that determination, I headed home, but upon entering, I encountered a shocking scene that left me in shock, motionless, standing at the door for a while.


    "What happened here?!"


    The whole house was a mess, with garbage scattered all over the floor, cans of what seemed to be alcohol, and objects strewn everywhere.


    "Who did this?!"


    No! That''s not important now! I have to find my family!!


    "Lilith, Mireya, where are you?!"


    I ran desperately for their well-being until I reached the living room, where I found an unthinkable sight.


    My wife Lilith was sleeping, lying naked on the sofa, covered in food stains all over her body, with my son Mireya lying on her lap, wearing a cowboy hat and black sunglasses.


    The scene paralyzed me for a few moments until I regained my senses and took Mireya from Lilith''s lap.


    "What are you doing?!"


    As I asked this, holding Mireya, I noticed he was hot, and upon checking his temperature, I realized he had fallen ill. But I didn''t have time to worry when I heard what my wife said when she woke up.


    "Ugh... Shut up!!"


    Those words were the most shocking thing I heard or felt since I arrived, knowing better than anyone Lilith''s personality and her calm and elegant way of speaking. Those vulgar words affected me, but it didn''t end there.


    "Ugh... stop rambling so much, can''t you see I have a headache?!"


    And that''s when I noticed the smell of alcohol coming from her body. Despite Lilith''s dislike of consuming alcohol, she had now drunk so much that she reeked of it.


    "Honey, are you okay? Were you forced to drink?!"


    If this strange behavior was due to alcohol, it would make sense, or at least that''s what I wanted to believe, but her next actions would shatter my hopes and lead me to deep despair.


    "Hey, don''t touch him!!"


    Perhaps because I was agitated while holding Mireya, he vomited a little milk, and upon seeing this, Lilith made a furious expression I had never seen her make, pushing me to the floor while snatching Mireya from my arms.


    "Stay away from him! Did you hear me, loser?!"


    I didn''t know what was happening or what to say to my wife''s change in that moment.


    "Oh right, taking advantage of the moment, hey loser, sign this!!"


    I only regained my composure a little when I saw what she handed me.


    "Divorce papers?!"


    "Obviously, genius, now sign them at once!!"


    "This is madness, if I did something wrong, at least let''s talk, it''s obvious something is wrong with you now!!"


    It was obvious that something was wrong with Lilith, so I tried to reason with her through dialogue to find out what had led her to this and how to help her, but...


    "There''s nothing wrong with me!! Or do you prefer I speak in this tone, darling?"


    Suddenly, her tone changed from the vulgar one she was using to the calm one she always spoke with.


    "Honey, what''s going on, what is all this?"


    "It''s just what it seems, darling, I want a divorce, financial compensation, and custody of Mireya."


    "Do you realize the madness you''re saying?!"


    "Tch... Do you realize your own situation?"


    "What?"


    "What do you think will happen if I scream with this appearance while crying?"


    "You... wouldn''t do that..."


    "Hahaha!! Go ahead, challenge me!!"


    "I... I''ll apologize... so please... go back to being who you were."


    "Go back to being who I was?! What nonsense are you talking about, I''ve always been like this!!"


    That''s a lie, this must be a nightmare, this can''t be happening, right?!


    "Hurry up and sign at once!!! Or do you prefer to rot in prison?!" Sёarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "The neighbors wouldn''t believe I would do something like that."


    My voice trembled with fear and pain as I spoke these words, but as always, what she said next plunged me into greater despair.


    "Who do you think they''ll believe?! You? Or sniff... sniff... Darling, how could you do this to me?"


    "No, please don''t say that."


    And just like that, her tearful face changed to the smile of a ruthless demon as she enjoyed torturing her victim, delivering the final blow.


    "To me?"


    I could only stand there, looking down, while I heard the devil''s laughter echo."
