And on the bedside table, beside the empty wine glass, there was a small white envelope with my name written on it.
My hands began to shake before I even touched it.
Inside was one photograph.
A photograph of me sleeping.
And behind it, written in black ink, were six words that made my whole body go cold:
“Now you will do exactly this.”
What do you think Adrian wanted from me?

I woke up alone.
For a few seconds, I did not understand where I was.
The hotel room was too quiet. The curtains were half closed, the morning light was pale, and the space beside me in the bed was empty.
Adrian was gone.
No goodbye.
No note on the mirror.
No sound from the bathroom.
Nothing.
At first, I tried to calm myself.
Maybe he had gone downstairs for coffee.
Maybe he had stepped out to take a call.
Maybe this was normal for a man like him.
Then I saw the envelope on the pillow.
It was white.
Neatly placed.
My name was written across the front in careful black letters.
Margaret.
My heart tightened.
For one foolish second, I thought it might be a goodbye note. Maybe even something sweet. Something kind. Something that would let me keep the night as a memory instead of a mistake.
But the moment I opened it, the warmth drained from my body.
Some showed me at the bar.
