My wife, Sarah, was everything to me – kind, loving, my whole world.
We shared a quiet life, anchored by our love and the little silver locket I gave her on our anniversary.
Then an email arrived with no subject, just a raw link.
It led me to a dark web forum, and an image that shattered my reality: a woman, explicit, wearing Sarah's irreplaceable locket.
My stomach twisted into knots. The comments were vile. But the locket... It was hers. Was this really my Sarah, the woman I loved?
I hired a PI, desperate for answers. What he found was worse: photos of my wife entering a cheap motel with a stranger.
The world tilted. The charity-organizing Sarah, the kind-hearted woman I married, seemed utterly incompatible with this betrayal.
Was she a stranger? How could this be happening?
When I confronted her and the man at a deserted warehouse, he knocked me out cold.
Waking up, I demanded answers, only for Sarah to confess a truth far more complex and dangerous than I ever imagined: a years-long undercover operation to avenge her father, smeared to death by the very forum I uncovered.
