His Wife, Her Intern, And The Watch

My phone buzzed, pulling me from millions in quarterly reports. It was Instagram.

I found a picture of my wife' s intern, Ethan, smirking, wearing my grandfather' s prized Rolex – a priceless family heirloom.

His caption: "A huge thank you to the most generous boss and mentor, Sabrina Anderson, for this incredible gift."

Rage, cold and sharp, washed over me. I messaged her, "Where is my watch?"

Her reply: "I loaned it to Ethan. Relax, Nate. Don't be so dramatic. It's just a watch."

"Just a watch." Her words shattered everything. All the sacrifices, the empire I built for her.
