His Heart Is Now Elsewhere

Chapter 2

I didn’t have the driver pick me up, and I walked alone on the chilly street, arriving at the “Silent” building.

Leaning against the pillar at the entrance, I flipped through the photos Elliana had sent me on my phone.

The last one was ten minutes ago.

The woman’s fair hands were bound by a sapphire blue tie, and the red marks scattered across her collarbone showcased the intensity of passion.

This tie was the birthday gift I gave to Axel six months ago.

Carefully selected and meticulously crafted, the lining of the tie featured embroidery of our initials.

I vividly remember the expression of overwhelming joy on Axel’s face when he received it.

Now this embroidery, torn and scratched by women, with loose threads mocking my miserable

heart..

And such photos, I have been receiving them intermittently since three months ago.

It started with jewelry that was the same as mine, then came the cufflinks that men are familiar with, and the watch on the hand.

My indifference made her probes even bolder.

The photos became more and more seductive, and the videos became increasingly explicit.

Among them were several extremely insulting curses.
