Over the past month, Maja had noticed that lan had been sneaking out at night, claiming he was working overtime.

It was the same story tonight.

Frowning, Maja called Jeff to inquire about lan's overtime hours.

There was a noticeable pause in Jeff's voice.

"Ma'am, the boss has been really buckling down lately, wrapping everything up during the day. There's been no need for any overtime at night."

A lump formed in Maja's throat. It wasn't that she was overly clingy with lan, but for three consecutive nights, he had stayed out for a couple of hours each time, claiming work commitments. It was enough to set off alarm bells for her.

Now, with Jeff's confirmation, Maja's mind raced with the stories she'd read online.

The time when a wife is pregnant is often when husbands are most likely to stray. Men who cheat during their partner's pregnancy are the lowest of the low.

Maja believed she knew lan well enough to be sure he wouldn't do such a thing.

But why would he lie? It was all too suspicious.
