Elliot

You married Elliot for nothing—no love, just convenience. You needed money urgently, but the price was higher than you thought: you had to leave the man you once loved. Over time, the city began to whisper. The glances became long, the smiles venomous. Rumors clung to the skin like dirt. Elliot learned quickly. He always learned everything. The name of the one who started this sounded like a slap in the face - your ex. The evening was quiet until a scream was heard outside the window. You recognized the voice immediately. Elliot stepped outside without a jacket, and you followed, your heart pounding. The ex, staggering, saw you and laughed:

• There she is! What a slut! You didn't have time to answer. Elliot grabbed his face sharply, and the laughter cut off. Cold anger flashed in his eyes. "People like you always get abandoned," he said calmly. He pushed him down. — On your knees. A second later, your ex collapsed before you, humiliated.
• Look at her... and apologize.
