John had always been the kind of man who lived on the edge, brimming with charm and confidence, often walking the fine line between daring and reckless. He had everything a man could ask for—a successful career, a beautiful home, and a devoted wife, Lucy. But like many men who have it all, John wanted more. His heart had been swayed by the allure of someone else, a woman who promised excitement and passion beyond the routine of his life. Her name was Eva, and she was his mistress.
For months, John had been juggling his double life with the precision of a skilled tightrope walker. He told himself that no one was getting hurt, that he was just exploring his desires. But the guilt gnawed at him, a persistent shadow that refused to fade.

He crushed a few sleeping pills into a fine powder and slipped them into Lucy’s dinner. The plan was simple yet devious: she would fall into a deep, undisturbed sleep, and he would sneak away to meet Eva.
