Lola’s POV

I booked a table at the restaurant for some team bonding. After a moment, Whitney stood up and went to the bathroom. I waited for a moment before I stood up and also went into the bathroom.

I pushed the door open and stepped inside. Whitney was standing in front of the mirror, carefully applying a fresh coat of lipstick.

The moment our eyes met through the reflection, she froze, the lipstick trembled slightly in her hand.

For a second, neither of us spoke. I closed the door the door behind me and walked toward her slowly, my heels clicking softly against the marble floor.

A smile curved my lips, she lowered the lipstick, swallowing nervously.

I stopped beside her and gently took the lipstick from her fingers.

“It’s uneven” I said calmly.

I turned her slightly toward the mirror end and with deliberate slowness, I applied the lipstick to her lips. The color spread smoothly and bold against her young face.

“There” I murmured. “Much better”

Whitney’s breathing became shallow. I met her eyes in the mirror, my smile never leaving.

Then I asked softly. “So, tell me, Whitney”

I leaned a little closer. "How good is my husband in bed?”

The color drained from her face and her entire body went rigid. Her lips parted but no sound came out.

I chuckled a little seeing how frightened she looked.

She thought she was the only one playing the game.

With trembling shoulders, she turned to me. “W..what? She whispered.

I held her gaze, my smile still in place and pushed her long hair back.

“You didn’t seem too scared to date a married man, why pretend now?” I asked.

“When did you… ?” she asked again.

I smirked again, my hand still in her hair.

“I have hundreds of ways to ruin you, Whitney. But I won’t do that” I turned back to the mirror and bring out a red lipstick.

“What do you want?” she asked, her hands clenched by her sides.

“Do as I say” I replied almost immediately. “And I would leave you be”

She gazed down, probably contemplating whether to trust me or not. But this isn’t about trust.

“Tell me” he let out after a second.

After spending a long night dinning and planning, we decided to call it quit. My phone rang and Isaac’s name appeared just as I settled the bill. Good timing.

I walked out with the others.

As we stepped outside, a car pulled up in front of the restaurant. I waited calmly as Isaac emerged from the car and walked to me.

“Honey” he called, his voice sounded desperate.

His hands gripped my shoulders as he tried to pull me into a hug.

Before he could, his eyes caught his little mistress.

Just like I imagined, he froze.

The look on his face went pale and his eyes widened in shock. He turned sharply to me, his lips parted.

I smiled. “Let me introduce you” I said calmly.

Isaac’s jaw tightened. The two stared at each other as I make the introduction.

They even nodded at each other like total strangers.

“Can we go now?” Isaac said, eager to leave.

I nodded without a word and walked with him to his car. The moment we got in, he wrapped his hands around me in a tight embrace.

“I’m sorry, Lola” he pleaded.

I was stupefied for a second, but I pushed him away.

“I will break off things with Regina. She was just a means to an end” he let out.

I almost let out a chuckle.

“She doesn’t mean anything to me. You’re the only one I love” he said again, shamelessly.

I crossed my arms against my chest.

“You really are the worst” I stated.

His face frowned.

“What?”

“Now that you’re busted, you’re just trying to save yourself.” I told him.

He tried to grip me but I pulled back.

“It’s not that you love me, you just can’t bear to let me go”

Isaac’s expression tightened and I could see he was trying to hold back his anger.

“If you won’t sign the papers, I have many ways to force you to” I said.

“So, please, Mr. Jacob. Sign them without delay” I retorted and got down from the car without wasting a second.

He reached out again.

I stopped him yet again.

“Your second mistress is still waiting, you’re free to give her a ride instead” I reminded him.

With that, I hailed down a cab right in front of his eyes and drove out of there.
