It all started in darkness, a forbidden affair revealed in a moment of weakness. She had been married for three years but felt disconnected from her husband. He worked all day, had little time for her and seemed to care more about his career than about her. Deep down, she was feeling lonely and desperate for some physical connection.
One night, she decided to go out with some of her friends from work. Little did she know that this night would change her life forever. She was out at a bar, hanging out with her friends, when she noticed a man across the room. He was tall, dark, and incredibly handsome. There was an electricity in the air and she was instantly attracted to him.
The man noticed her as well. When their eyes met, they both felt a spark. The man walked over and introduced himself as Harold. They talked for a while and soon found out they had a lot in common. Harold was also married, but he was in a loveless marriage and was looking for someone to connect with and have meaningful conversations with.
Before long, they had made plans to meet up at Harold’s apartment the following night. She was filled with a mix of excitement and anxiety as she drove to his apartment the next day. She had no idea what to expect.
When she arrived, she was frightened at first, but his warm and caring demeanor soon made her feel at ease. He led her to the bedroom, where they both felt and shared a deep connection. As they began undressing each other, it felt like everything around them had faded away and they were truly in the moment.
They explored and experimented with each other. Every touch took them further and further away from reality. Finally, they ended up in a passionate embrace, their bodies intertwined and their spirits connected. Afterwards they lay side by side, in blissful silence.
Although neither of them wanted to talk about it, they both knew that this was wrong and that it could never happen again. She had given into her desires and for a day, she had experienced something truly special.
It was nearly two months before they dared meet each other again. Each time they saw one another, their passion reignited. They would often find themselves in an intimate setting, lost in each other’s arms. Every time, she fought the urge to tell him she loved him and he never expressed these feelings of his.
One day, after a passionate night together, she found the courage to say all the things she had wanted to, and he finally said that he felt the same way. Although they knew they couldn’t be together, they allowed their hearts a brief moment of truth, a moment of pure joy.
They continued to meet in secret until one many months later, when something unexpected happened. She found out she was pregnant with his child, and they both knew they had to face reality.
She quickly ran home to tell her husband and together they travelled to confront Harold and his wife. They all agreed to keep their love affair a secret, although everyone knew the truth.
From that day on, the two of them no longer saw each other. He helped financially with their son, but that was the only interaction they had.
Years passed and their son eventually grew up not knowing the truth about his parents. Even the husband and wife didn’t share their story with him. They allowed him to believe he was born from a loving union.
The two of them take occasional moments of reflection to think about that night of weakness, when their forbidden affair was revealed. To this day, no one knows about it…not even their son.
