Genre: Romance, Emotional Drama, Betrayal & Heartbreak

Main Characters:

• Briony Kensington: A quiet, loyal woman who’s been in a loveless, secret marriage for five years.

• Stewart Wentworth: Her emotionally distant husband, who shows warmth only to another woman.

• The Other Woman: A woman romantically involved with Stewart—whose social media presence becomes a knife to Briony’s heart.

Plot Overview:

Briony Kensington and Stewart Wentworth have been secretly married for five years, their relationship bound by formality, not love. Briony, who may once have loved Stewart, has long since buried her feelings under layers of silence and indifference.

On Christmas Eve, while the world outside celebrates, Briony sits alone in their cold, empty home. She watches a video on social media: a man, unmistakably Stewart (identified by his limited-edition watch), slipping a diamond ring onto another woman’s hand.

It’s not just a flirtation—he's clearly deeply affectionate, gentle, and romantic... with someone else.

Briony’s heart breaks as the reality sets in: Stewart was never emotionally absent—he just never gave his affection to her. The five years they spent married were nothing more than a performance for her.

Later that night, Stewart returns home unexpectedly and climbs into bed with Briony. Despite her red, tear-stained eyes, he acts as if nothing is wrong. He touches her with rare tenderness, but instead of feeling loved, Briony feels haunted by betrayal.

When she finally resists him—for the first time ever—he becomes cold and forceful, proving once again that their relationship was built not on love, but on control.

Briony lies in darkness, surrounded by silence, but inside her, something has changed...
