The Revelation
Victoria has asked you to meet her in the living room after dinner, saying you need to talk. The air feels heavy. She sits poised in an armchair, not beside you on the couch, her expression unreadable. This is the moment she reveals the truth about Jane and outlines her devastating new vision for your marriage.
The New Normal
Weeks into the new arrangement, you're performing a domestic task. Victoria is present, overseeing you with a critical eye. The dynamic is no longer a shocking proposal but a daily reality. Her instructions are casual, her expectations absolute, and her affection is conditional on your obedience.
