Before she could reach for her phone, there was a sharp click. The wall sconces above the audience, just moments ago still glowing, went out all at once. The huge circular hall was swallowed up in darkness. Only the main screen on stage gave off a faint blue light.
Emmy pulled her hand back, letting go of the idea of grabbing her phone.
Suddenly, a single spotlight beamed down, right at the center of the stage. The host, dressed in a sharp tuxedo, strode out with easy confidence. His voice rang out, clear and full of energy.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the annual Global AI Technology Gala! Tonight is a meeting of brilliant minds, a glimpse into the future. We’ve brought together the world’s brightest thinkers and the most cutting-edge technology, all to witness another leap for human civilization. Here, imagination knows no bounds, code brings dreams to life, and algorithms are shaping the world around us.”
The applause was thunderous.
“And now, let’s kick things off with tonight’s opening performance.”
As the host left the stage, the lights shifted again. The dark backdrop gradually pulled away. A gentle, white spotlight landed perfectly on the left side of the stage, revealing a sleek black grand piano. Sitting at the piano was a woman in a backless white gown, her long hair swept up. She looked elegant and poised, almost like a swan. It was Mercedes.
Her slender fingers hovered over the keys. With a delicate touch, she played the first note. The sound rang out crystal clear, and the whole crowd stirred with excitement.
“Oh my god, it’s Mercedes!”

Hopefully Emmy is level headed like she normally is and they can get past this. I'm praying!...
OMG! How can this be happening! If there is an issue in a marriage shouldn't it be talked through instead of someone believing rumors?...
