Here is Chapter 4:John's Struggles with Guilt and Desire;
John's affair with Emily was intense and all-consuming. He couldn't get enough of her, and he found himself constantly thinking about her, wanting her, needing her.
But alongside the passion and excitement, John felt a crushing weight of guilt. He knew he was hurting Sarah, his wife, the woman he had promised to love and cherish. He knew he was betraying her trust, and that he was risking everything they had built together.
John tried to push the guilt away, to justify his actions by telling himself that he was unhappy in his marriage, that Sarah didn't understand him, that he deserved to be happy. But the guilt lingered, a constant reminder of his infidelity.
Despite his reservations, John couldn't resist Emily's pull. He continued to see her, to make excuses to be with her, to lie to Sarah about where he was going and what he was doing.
As the affair continued, John's guilt and shame grew. He knew he was living a double life, and that it was only a matter of time before everything came crashing down around him.
