Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: 3:00 AM

I woke up… not in my bed.

The ceiling above me was unfamiliar.

White. Too clean. Too bright.

My heart started racing.

I turned my head slowly.

A man was lying next to me.

He was asleep… peaceful…

like he belonged there.

But I didn't know him.

I froze.

Why am I in bed with a stranger?

My hands were shaking as I pulled the blanket up.

That's when I noticed it…

A ring.

On my finger.

A wedding ring.

"No…" I whispered.

This can't be real.

I looked around the room.

Photos on the wall.

Me… smiling… holding his hand.

Like we were in love.

But I've never seen him before in my life.

Suddenly…

The man moved.

He slowly opened his eyes.

And the first thing he said was:

"Why are you looking at me like that… wife?"

I couldn't breathe.

"W-what did you say…?"

He frowned.

"You're acting strange tonight…"

Tonight?

My mind was spinning.

I looked at the clock.

03:00 AM.

The exact time I fell asleep…

But I wasn't in my room.

And this wasn't a dream.

Because when I touched the table beside me…

I felt it.

Real. Cold. Solid.

The man sat up and looked at me carefully.

"Are you okay?"

I shook my head.

"No… I don't know who you are."

Silence.

Heavy… scary silence.

Then he said something that made my blood freeze:

"You're joking… right?"

The lights flickered.

Once.

Twice.

Then everything went dark.

And in that darkness…

A notification appeared on my phone.

A message.

From an unknown number.

Just one sentence:

"3AM. Don't trust him."
