Chapter 4. The Cuck
The world felt quieter now.
Evan was broken. His life was in ruins.
Mia was avenged.
And yet, as I walked alone through the empty city streets, I realized something—the pain hadn't left.
It still sat there, deep inside me, like a festering wound that refused to heal.
I had thought his suffering would bring me peace.
But peace was a lie.
The truth was simple.
Mia was gone.
Vanished, as if she had never existed. There was no trace of her anywhere, as though the universe had conspired to erase her entirely. The last time I had seen her was when she went to watch a movie. She had smiled at me that evening, teasing me about how I always refused to watch romance films with her. She had promised to tell me all about it when she got back.
She never returned.
