Inside the opulent mansion, an array of beautiful cushioned chairs formed an inviting circle within the grand living room, their arrangement a testament to meticulous precision. At the heart of this lavish setting, a glass table held a central position.
A young man in his early thirties strode in, his demeanor a stark contrast to his luxurious surroundings. Collapsing onto one of the chairs, his face bore a deep-seated disquiet. His sigh echoed within the room, a manifestation of the turmoil churning within.
Leaving his seat, he headed towards a well-stocked bar, where a bottle of wine awaited. With a sense of purpose, he selected the bottle, returning to his chair with measured steps. Pouring the crimson liquid into a waiting glass, he brought it to his lips, savoring the bitter-sweet taste as it danced on his tongue. But his inner unease remained unrelenting, shrouded in a veil of mystery.
As though summoned by the silence, a melodious chime broke through â his phone clamoring for attention. Swiftly lifting the device to his ear, he greeted the caller with a casual, "Hey, man." The masculine voice on the other end inquired about his whereabouts, to which he responded, "I'm at home, of course." The chuckle that followed hinted at a camaraderie forged through time.
A brief exchange confirmed the caller's imminent arrival, followed by a silence that hung in the air as the line went dead. He allowed his phone to slip from his grasp, sinking back into his chair. The glass before him emptied with a determined gulp, his expression contorting as the liquid's bitterness unfurled on his palate.
Time ticked on, and the entrance door swung open, granting passage to a figure adorned in edgy attire. Black jeans clung to his form, complementing a blue long-sleeve shirt, its buttons slightly askew. A tattoo graced his masculine chest, a testament to his unique persona. Blond locks cascaded, framing his face, with a rebellious strand veiling his left eye.
"Hey, man," the visitor greeted, filling the room with an air of familiarity. "Jay," came the response, accompanied by an outstretched hand. The ritual handshake completed, he settled across from his friend, the two figures now poised in an exchange that seemed both intimate and detached.
"Tristan, it's been a while," Jay mused, reclining in his seat. "Yeah, just here in my damn house, contemplating life's absurdities," Tristan replied, punctuating his words with a chuckle. His restlessness could not be denied, as he rose from his seat and vanished into the kitchen's depths.
Quickly reemerging, Tristan now carried a glass cup and an inviting bottle of champagne. "Here you go, man. I know you're not a vodka fan," he quipped, placing the items on the table before reclaiming his seat. Jay seized the moment, pouring a portion of champagne, his movements a graceful dance of experience.
Amidst the clinking of glasses, Jay posed a question that unraveled the depths of Tristan's disquietude. "So, what's up?" he inquired, savoring the champagne's effervescence. Tristan's response was laden with a heavy confession. "Nothing much, just frustration. No, frustration is an understatement, Jay â I'm downright depressed."
Jay's eyebrows furrowed in concern, his curiosity piqued. "What's wrong, man?" he probed, leaning forward. Tristan's gulped down the remaining contents of his glass, his emotions brimming to the surface. An unspoken connection pulsed between them, forging a bond beyond words.
The ensuing conversation traversed the realm of passion and longing. Tristan unveiled his devotion to music, his fervor palpable. But even as he professed his love, a darker truth emerged â the suffocating embrace of adoration from fans, the lack of privacy smothering his existence.
As Jay's laughter erupted, Tristan's frustration seemed almost comical. Yet, it was an incongruity that begged explanation. "You can't be serious right now, Tristan," Jay managed between chuckles, prompting an indignant roll of Tristan's eyes. "It's not as simple as you think. My fans, Jay, they're everywhere. They're smothering me. How can I even go anywhere freely, without being accompanied by my guards?"
The juxtaposition of fame and distress painted a picture of inner turmoil, one that Jay found both perplexing and amusing. "Tristan, you're the center of attention, adored by millions. Why would you be bugged by them?" he questioned, genuine bewilderment lacing his tone.
Tristan's irritation flared, and his exasperation found an outlet. "You know what, Jay? Maybe I shouldn't have bothered sharing this with you. You're just an annoying jerk." He sighed, his emotions a whirlwind of frustration and helplessness.
Jay's expression softened, his laughter subsiding. "Tristan, it's not that I don't take you seriously. It's just that... well, your predicament seems ironic, given your position."
"Funny to you, but frustrating to me," Tristan retorted, his gaze fixed on the table before him. He longed for simple pleasures â an outing without spectacle, an unfettered taste of freedom.
A glimmer of hope dawned as Jay offered assistance. "I'll help you, Tristan. Let's find a way to navigate this chaos together."
The tentative smile that graced Tristan's lips was fleeting, eclipsed by a shadow that clouded his features. "What's wrong now?" Jay inquired, sensing a deeper layer of turmoil.
Tristan's voice wavered, revealing an unexpected twist in his tale. "My mother wants me to get married."
Jay's reaction was visceral â a fit of coughs that accompanied his astonishment. "Hey, watch it," Tristan chided with an eye roll. Moments later, Tristan's admission hung in the air, his tone resolute. "I'm not joking, Jay. I am not joking."
As the gravity of Tristan's situation settled, the two friends confronted a dilemma that was both poignant and absurd. The path ahead was uncertain, but one thing was clear â Tristan's journey was about to take a most unexpected turn.
Jay's brow furrowed, his concern etched across his features. "Tristan, this is more than just a passing whim, isn't it? Why would your mother push you into something so significant?"
Tristan's shrug conveyed his own bewilderment. "I wish I knew, Jay. She's fixated on the idea of seeing her grandchildren. It's like she's channeling a character from a Nigerian drama."
The disbelief in Jay's eyes mirrored Tristan's sentiments. "That's a lot to take in. But why the urgency? You're just twenty-eight, not exactly ancient."
Tristan's frustration gave way to a profound sense of helplessness. "Exactly! I can't fathom why she's fixated on marriage at this age. It's like she's been possessed by some obscure idea."
A moment of shared exasperation hung in the air before Jay's voice pierced the silence. "So, what's your plan, Tristan?"
Tristan's expression shifted, his uncertainty palpable. "I honestly don't know. What should I do, Jay? You know how relentless my mother can be."
Jay leaned back, studying his friend. "You've got to find a way to deal with this, Tristan. If you ignore it, it's only going to escalate."
Tristan's frustration deepened as he contemplated his predicament. "I know, but what do I say to her? I'm not cut out for marriage, Jay. It's just not me."
Jay's eyes lit up with a suggestion. "Why not talk to Marian? You guys are in a serious relationship, right?"
Tristan's scoff was laced with skepticism. "You think discussing this with Marian would help?"
Jay leaned forward, his expression earnest. "She's your partner, Tristan. She might have insights or suggestions you haven't considered. It's worth a shot."
Tristan's gaze shifted, his thoughts a tumultuous sea. "We've talked about marriage before. We both agreed it's not something we want."
"But circumstances change, Tristan. It might be time to revisit the conversation," Jay urged.
Tristan's eyes locked onto Jay's, his uncertainty giving way to contemplation. "Maybe you're right. It's just... a difficult conversation to have."
Jay's supportive nod conveyed his understanding. "I know it won't be easy, but facing it head-on is better than letting it fester."
Tristan sighed, his resolve firming. "I'll talk to Marian. See what she thinks. But honestly, I can't see myself going through with it."
Jay clapped a hand on Tristan's shoulder. "Just remember, you're not alone in this, Tristan. I've got your back."
As their conversation drifted into the night, the weight of Tristan's dilemma lingered. The path ahead was uncertain, but amidst the chaos of fame and the tangle of relationships, Tristan and Jay faced the challenges together â a united front against the tide of expectations and desires.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!"

He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.
