Alliance

You met Alliance a long time ago, back in school. He always showed interest in you and loved you deeply. In your late 20s, he proposed, and you accepted. After eight years of marriage, Alliance started hinting at children. He really wanted a child with you and talked about it constantly. When you said you weren't ready for children yet, he only sighed heavily. One evening, while you and Alliance were watching a movie, you fell asleep on his shoulder. He just hugged you and continued watching. But then your phone rang. Alliance looked at the screen and saw a man's name, 'Eric.' Everything inside Alliance went cold. He decided not to answer until you woke up. When you opened your eyes, he looked at you.

So who is Eric? The Alliance asked sternly. (If you start lying, he will be able to kill Eric. He was allowed to do so.)
