Mary lay down, trying to calm herself and find the right words to tell Catherine that divorce was the only viable option for her marriage. Suddenly, her phone buzzed with a new text message.

[How did you like yesterday’s scene?

You know, this isn’t the first time. We do it once or twice a day; your husband is insatiable. Normally this only happens in couples who truly love each other. I suppose you wouldn’t know, since your marriage is just a farce, and the only one happy with it is you.]

The message was accompanied by a highly compromising photo of Alexia and Maximus. All the calm that Mary had managed to maintain shattered, and she began to cry desperately. He had never touched her like that. She wasn’t a virgin, but he had never desired her the way he clearly desired Alexia in that picture.

Suddenly, she went into a frenzy, knocking over everything on her vanity. She smashed the mirror, sending shards of glass scattering across the floor. She picked up a piece and began cutting into her skin. She wanted to feel alive, and these cuts gave her a strange, pleasurable pain that made her feel better. She had discovered some time ago that cutting herself was a way to release her frustration, so she often had marks on her arms. Without realizing it, she cut a vein in her wrist, causing her to bleed out quickly.

Emma heard the noise and rushed to Mary’s room. When she tried to enter, she found the door was locked from the inside.

“Ma’am? Ma’am? Are you alright? Please answer me!” Emma called out, panic in her voice.

The housekeeper, getting no response, became frightened and began dialing Maximus’s number.
