Betrayer

For years, I was the senior software architect, the quiet force building the game-changing tech for Innovatech Solutions, the company led by my CEO wife, Ava.

Our life, our business, seemed stable enough.

But Ava's credit, and her attention, increasingly shifted to her charming, incompetent executive assistant, Ethan.

She showered him with praise for my innovations, then, in a devastating move, she canceled our long-delayed Hawaii honeymoon.

The second ticket to Hawaii was handed to Ethan, hailed as a "company reward" for the module I had built.

Soon, Ethan' s Instagram was filled with champagne toasts and beach photos tagged 'Maui' -not the "critical investor pitch" Ava had claimed.

She remained oblivious, having already blindly approved my resignation, and even our divorce papers, mixed in with other documents.

My colleagues snickered, assuming I' d simply failed.
