The Night of Silk... and the Secret That Destroyed Everything

And her entire body froze.

Ryan...

standing beside a beautiful woman.

And between them...

a little boy.

Her hands trembled.

She lifted the photo.

Looked at Ryan.

"Who... is this?"

Silence.

Pure silence.

"Ryan..."

His lips moved slowly.

And what he said shattered her world.

"...She's my wife."

The picture slipped from Maya's fingers.

"...What?"

He lowered his head.

His voice broke.

"My wife never died."

Part 2

The photograph slipped from Maya's trembling fingers.

It floated to the floor.

Ryan stood frozen.

Maya stared at him as if she were looking at a complete stranger.

No.

Not a stranger.

A monster.

"...What did you just say?"

Ryan couldn't raise his eyes.

His breathing became heavier.
