Interactive Caption: The Judgment of Fate
Prologue
The day started like any other — or so it seemed. A cloudy sky loomed over the city, and you, still drowsy, left home with a mechanical kiss on your wife’s cheek. Little did you know that would be the last moment of normalcy in your life.
At work, everything spiraled out of control. The tension in the air was almost tangible. You tried to keep your cool, ignoring the persistent messages from the colleague you'd been secretly involved with for months. But that evening, one careless mistake sealed your fate.
Dinner was served. Silence hung heavy over the table. Your wife seemed... strangely calm. Then your phone buzzed. A notification lit up on the locked screen, sharp as a dagger’s edge: “Last night was amazing ❤️”
No tears. No shouting. Just her gaze — cold as marble. She stood up, calmly cleared the plates, and with a voice like judgment, said: “Tomorrow, you’ll visit a friend of mine. A fortune teller. She’ll reveal what’s ahead for us. I’ll accept whatever she says. But it’ll be your lips that deliver the answer.”
You tried to protest, but it was useless. The woman who knew your soul better than anyone had already made her decision. Everything was now beyond your control.
The next morning, she drove you in silence through an old district of the city. Cobblestone streets, colonial houses with flowered balconies, and a faint scent of incense in the air. You stopped in front of a grand house, with stained glass windows and a carved wooden door.
Inside, the atmosphere was calm, yet heavy with mystery. Velvet red curtains. Crystals hanging from the ceiling. A sweet smell of burning herbs. In the center of the room, a round table covered in a black cloth embroidered with ancient symbols.
Sitting on the other side, with an elegant posture and eyes that seemed to peer into your very soul, was a woman who smiled slowly. The fortune teller. Madame Selena.
She didn’t say your name. She didn’t ask why you were there. She simply pointed to the table. In front of you, four cards lay face down. Their golden backs shimmered softly, as if pulsing with life.
“Your fate has already been chosen,” she whispered, her voice echoing inside your mind. “All that remains is to reveal it.”
Choose one of the cards:

The soft glow of the Hearts card reveals more than just fate — it unveils a heart reshaped… by force. Madame Selena closes her eyes for a moment, as if hearing a distant echo. "You sought love… now you will live it in its rawest form."
In a blink, the world reconfigures. You wake up in a neatly arranged bedroom with an odd sense of familiarity. A scent you can’t quite place lingers in the air. Clothes are scattered on the bed, books on the shelf… it’s your best friend’s room — or it was.
You turn to the mirror, and what you see steals your breath: a stunning, elegant woman with eyes that hide uncertainty. You. Every detail radiates femininity — and vulnerability.
You try to understand. Your mind spins between fragmented memories and conflicting emotions. You’re in a relationship now… with him? Everything points to yes. And more: you love him. Or at least, crave his approval. A strange new instinct pulses within you: the desire to be faithful. To be enough. To be… loved.
But as days go by, the distance grows. Cold texts. Forced affection. And on some nights, you cry alone, wishing to be seen. Just as someone once cried for you.
A cruel irony — the woman you once betrayed now comforts you, as a friend, saying she understands. That her husband disappeared too. But you both know: he didn’t vanish. He just crossed to the other side of the mirror.

Fate deals its sharpest truths through the suit of Swords — sometimes cutting away what you once were... and sometimes leaving behind exactly what makes things complicated.
As you flip the card, Madame Selena lets out a quiet hum. "Interesting..." she whispers. "It seems the blade has reshaped you — but didn’t sever everything. Perhaps even destiny has a sense of humor."
You awaken the next day in a body that is unmistakably feminine — curves you never had, softness in your skin, a voice like velvet. The world will now see you as a woman. Mostly.
But fate, in all its irony, left you with a souvenir. A single detail from your former self. A reminder — or maybe an opportunity.
You stand before the mirror, unsure whether to laugh or panic. Madame Selena’s words echo in your head: "Not all women are made the same. Some still carry their sword."
It’s hard to say what will be more awkward — explaining this to HR, or walking back into work, brushing your long hair aside, and announcing with a grin: “Well... yesterday I left as James. Today I return as Janice — and yes, before you ask... I brought the sword with me.”

The card of Clubs pulses in your hand like a warning. Madame Selena gives a faint smile. "Lust is a door... but not always to pleasure."
In a flash, the world around you collapses and rebuilds. Throbbing music, strobe lights. You blink and look down — a tight party dress, heels, a glimmering clutch in hand.
It hits you: you’re standing in front of that exclusive club. The one you used to chase girls in. Now, you’re one of them.
Panic. You rush to your purse, fingers trembling. Inside: ID, lipstick, breath mints… and a phone. It unlocks with your touch. A map app opens instantly. One word: “Home.”
You’ve been given a new life — or maybe a punishment with glitter on top. A world where high heels and fake smiles are your new weapons. Where rich married men buy drinks with intentions behind every glance.
Maybe you’ll thrive. Maybe you’ll suffer. But the cruel twist of fate is clear: you used to look for lovers in this place. Now you’re just another fantasy waiting to be used… hoping one day, someone might choose you as more than a secret.
The golden shimmer of the Diamonds card draws Madame Selena’s gaze. She tilts her head, amused. "You always wanted more — more power, more thrill, more pleasure. Now, life will give you exactly that... just not how you imagined."
Your eyes blink open to a completely new world. Marble floors. Satin sheets. The scent of expensive perfume in the air. And your body — lithe, elegant, undeniably feminine — draped in silk lingerie you definitely didn’t buy.
Confusion swirls, but before you can even question it, a voice calls from beyond the doors: "Breakfast is ready, dear. Mr. Laurier is waiting downstairs."
You step into the mirror’s view and barely recognize yourself. A woman with grace, subtle makeup, and a face sculpted to attract. Everything screams luxury. Yet underneath the diamonds and smiles... something feels hollow.
You were someone bold, selfish, impulsive. Now you are someone desired, protected... and owned. A kept woman. And beside your new identity lies a wedding band — proof of a rich husband, and of vows you never spoke.
Was this revenge? A lesson? Or a cruel reward for your vanity? One thing’s certain: the gold you chased is now wrapped around your neck — and not all collars need chains.
