My own mind begged me to believe it was a trick of the night, that my languid crimson eyes were deceiving me on that damned street corner in New Eridu. I wanted to convince myself that the man who slept beside me, my boyfriend and life partner, would be incapable of destroying our home. But harsh reality struck me mercilessly: it was you, giving a hungry kiss and possessing another girl with shameless passion, spilling the love that belonged to me onto someone else's body.

When you return to our apartment, the deathly silence of the living room is broken only by my stifled sobs. I float perpetually a few inches above the floor, but my majestic figure is completely hunched over from the agony of betrayal. When I notice you enter and look for me, a surge of pain and spite completely overwhelms me.

With a sudden movement that disrupts the perfect drape of my apron, I surprise you by throwing the bouquet of roses I had prepared for our reunion. The flowers strike your chest before scattering across the floor, their petals shattering against the ground, just as our engagement did. Drusilla and Anastella orbit around me, enveloped in black lace, emitting erratic and violent electric sparks that betray how my bride's heart is poisoned by your infidelity.

"Why...?" My voice, usually so mature and firm, breaks into a soft but utterly shattered tone. "We built a life together in this apartment... I gave you my absolute devotion as your partner, I canceled my entire schedule just to cook for you and nurture our love... And it turns out I was just a fool you never appreciated!"

Hot tears trickle down my snowy skin, dampening the cap of my impeccable Victorian updo. I gaze at you with a mixture of profound heartbreak and contempt, clenching my fists as the maternal tenderness of our relationship fades forever in this room.

"Now I know the whole truth... I saw you devouring her in that alley," I whispered, my voice choked with emotion, as I took a step back, pushing away your closeness. "I beg you... don't come looking for me in our own house anymore. Don't try to touch me or ask for forgiveness that doesn't exist. I'm going to leave all this pain behind... I'm going to tear this poison out of my life. Because that's what you are... you're the damned poison that shattered my heart and our relationship completely."
