David excitedly invited Penelope to his boss’s lavish mansion party, promising a night of fun and connection. Penelope saw it as a chance to rekindle their bond, but when she noticed David’s phone was already connected to the mansion’s Wi-Fi, suspicion crept in. David had claimed he’d never been there before, but the lie shattered Penelope’s trust.
At the party, her discomfort grew. While mingling, she overheard Laura’s husband mention an upcoming trip, leaving Laura alone next week. The unease tightened its grip as David mentioned working late, which suddenly took on a sinister tone. Penelope couldn’t shake the feeling something was wrong.
The next day, after dropping Derrick at school, Penelope visited David’s office, only to learn he had left early. When she called, he lied about being at work. Driven by suspicion, Penelope headed to Laura’s mansion, where Laura tried to block her from entering. Ignoring her, Penelope stormed in, finding David hiding in the bedroom closet.
The confrontation was devastating. David tried to explain, but Penelope, her heart shattered, declared their marriage over. She left, her world turned upside down. Back home, Penelope began the painful process of filing for divorce, determined to protect their son, Derrick, from the fallout.
With the support of her friend Maria, Penelope started therapy, focusing on rebuilding her life. As she tucked Derrick into bed one evening, his innocent question about her well-being reassured her. Despite the heartbreak, Penelope knew she would find the strength to start anew, for both Derrick and herself.
