Here is the translation of the story into English, capturing the setting and the dramatic tone of the original.

The Stain on the White Silk

Mark and Elena were once the “power couple” of a quiet suburb in Savannah, Georgia. But as Mark ascended to the position of CEO, he began to resent the woman who had stood by him during his leanest years. He started a cold, calculated affair with Chloe—a young woman as ambitious as she was manipulative.

The Cruel Gala

The breaking point came at the company’s 10th-anniversary gala. Elena arrived in a breathtaking white silk gown, her effortless elegance completely overshadowing Chloe’s flashy appearance.

Consumed by envy, Chloe whispered to Mark, “I want to see her humiliated in front of everyone.”

Instead of stopping her, Mark simply smirked. “Do whatever you want,” he replied coldly.

As Elena stood near the stage, Chloe feigned a trip, dumping a bucket of red wine mixed with greasy kitchen slop all over her. The crowd gasped as the thick, dark filth stained Elena’s hair and ruined her pristine dress. Mark didn’t move to help his wife. He stood there, champagne glass in hand, sharing a mocking laugh with his mistress.

Elena looked directly into her husband’s eyes, refusing to shed a tear. She spoke softly: “You chose this stain, Mark. Now, you have to live with it.” She turned and walked out of the hall with her head held high.

The Bitter End

Within two weeks, Mark’s world began to unravel with surgical precision:

• Total Financial Ruin: Mark had conveniently forgotten that Elena’s grandfather was the true founder of the firm, and she held 60% of the shares under a private trust. The morning after the gala, Elena triggered the “Moral Turpitude” clause in both their prenuptial agreement and the shareholder contract. Mark was fired immediately and stripped of all stock options.

• Betrayal Doubled: The moment the money and status vanished, Chloe’s true colors emerged. She cleared out the luxury penthouse Mark had bought for her and vanished with a wealthier man, leaving Mark with nothing but the bills.

• A Public Fall: Desperate and broke, Mark tried to force his way into Elena’s estate to beg for mercy. He was arrested for trespassing. Images of Mark being led away in handcuffs, disheveled and covered in sweat, hit the local tabloids—a mirror image of the filth he had allowed to be thrown at his wife.

Today, Mark lives in a cramped, rented room, working a grueling manual labor job to pay off his legal debts. Every time he looks at the grease stains on his hands after a long shift, he remembers Chloe’s cruel laugh and Elena’s white dress—the only pure thing he ever had, and the one thing he chose to destroy.
