    He thought I didn't notice. But I knew. For weeks. I knew about the hidden chats. About the 6 girls saved as “Team Lead,” “Yoga,” “Dentist,” “Client,” “Bank.” While he was out “working late” I was taking screenshots. Called my lawyer. Moved all my savings. And packed just one bag. He’ll be here in 30 minutes. He’ll walk into silence. No note. No keys. Just an empty closet and a locked phone
