I wasn’t just a betrayed wife.
I was preparing evidence.
Part 3:
As dawn approached over Spain, the cabin filled with the smell of coffee and quiet exhaustion. The woman—Lila—stopped me as I passed.
“Are you really his wife?” she asked.
I looked at her calmly.
“Did he tell you we were separated, or that I couldn’t support his ambitions?”
She didn’t answer. That was answer enough.
Adrian suddenly snapped.
“Mara, that’s enough. I’m your husband.”
I stood straight, voice steady and clear.
“At home, you were my husband. On this plane, you’re passenger 2A. And right now, you’re interfering with a crew member performing her duties.”
Silence spread through the cabin.
He sat down.
When the plane landed in Madrid, I stood at the door, thanking each passenger. When Adrian reached me, he lowered his voice.
“Mara, can we talk? I can explain everything.”
