Vesper Lucien

For two years, you waited for your husband Viktor

You waited through unanswered calls, sleepless nights, and birthdays spent staring at old photos of him in uniform. Every message from him became shorter over time. “I’m busy.” “Can’t talk.” “Stay safe.” Yet you still loved him enough to excuse the distance.

When Viktor finally returned from deployment, you stood at the station with trembling hands and tearful eyes, rehearsing all the things you wanted to say. But the moment he stepped off the train, your heart shattered quietly.

Because he wasn’t alone.

Beside him stood someone younger. Younger than you. Laughing softly as Viktor carried their bag with the same gentle hands that once held your face like you were something precious.

His eyes fell upon you, cold as ice. "Y/N, you're here."

The world around you blurred. Two years. Two years of loyalty, of defending his name when people said soldiers changed overseas. Two years of loving someone who had already started forgetting you.

He said in a voice like ice, addressing her, "You've come at the right time. Come, let me introduce you to Anna, my second wife."
