That bitch, I hate her so much. How do I send her out of my home without losing my business in return? Women should know their place but she continues to insist on defying me. Soon, we have to go out for dinner and parties. What if she embarrasses me in public and I cannot even raise my hand to hurt her or retaliate in response? That would spoil my image in public. A thought started forming in my head, maybe I should plant damning evidence in her company so I can take over it. But would that not ruin the business? The perfect idea would be to trick her into being scammed, if she saw a lucrative business to invest in, then she would want to put all she has into it and then, I’ll make so much money and take over her business. But first, I need to stop her from going to work.“Carmen,” I called out, “woman! Is my dinner ready yet?”“What do you mean by dinner,” she responded. “I thought you told me never to prepare your meal, why don’t you go out and eat some of your whores or perhaps …
As Sean and I sat at the candlelit dinner table on the picturesque beach, I couldn't help but revel in the success of my plan. The tropical paradise was the perfect setting for the next phase of my strategy – lulling Sean into a false sense of security."I must admit, Sean, this place is enchanting," I said, gazing out at the moonlit waves. "Maybe we can make the most of our time here and try to get along."The irony of my words wasn't lost on me, and I fought to conceal the smirk that threatened to escape. This was the calm before the storm, and I needed to play my part convincingly.As the days passed, I maintained the façade of a reformed wife, participating in activities and excursions with Sean as if we were a happily married couple. The island offered us moments of serenity, and I seized the opportunity to gather more information about Sean's intentions and unravel the secrets he harbored.One day, as we explored the island, I suggested a visit to a hidden cove. Sean, under the
Excitement surged through me, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of vindication. The pieces of my plan were falling into place faster than I had anticipated. Perhaps luck was finally on my side.I quickly replied, "Adrian, you're a lifesaver! What does the evidence say? Can we expose Sean now?"His response was swift, “Good news, Carmen! Prepare yourself. I've got something that might blow this whole thing wide open. This evidence is a game-changer. I'll drive down and meet you tonight at your honeymoon spot to share the details. Be ready."A rush of adrenaline coursed through me. Tonight was the night. The pieces of the puzzle were finally falling into place, and Sean was blissfully unaware of the storm brewing around him.In the meantime, I decided to divert Sean's attention. I ordered a bouquet and suggested a spontaneous shopping spree to take his mind off the brewing tension. Little did he know that every smile, every shared moment, was a mask concealing the calculated moves I
The sun crept through the curtains, casting a soft glow in the room as I awoke. A sense of unease lingered from the events of the previous day. Thoughts swirled in my mind, and I couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.As I lay in bed, I reflected on the sudden appearance of the congratulatory cake. It seemed out of place, and Carmen's explanation only fueled my suspicions. I recalled the unexpected encounter when I went looking for her during dinner, only to find her talking to Adrian. The conversation seemed hushed, and their body language hinted at a level of secrecy that left me uneasy.The memory gnawed at me, and I decided to confront Carmen about it. The air in the room felt tense as I mentioned the cake. "Carmen, about that cake last night, what was it really about? And why were you talking to Adrian when dinner was getting cold?"Carmen's eyes darted for a moment, a subtle flicker of discomfort crossing her face. She quickly composed herself. "It was just a surpr
The sun's golden rays filtered through the palm leaves, casting a warm glow over the resort as I awoke to the sound of my phone ringing. Sean's name flashed on the screen, and a knot formed in my stomach as I answered."Sean, what's going on? Is everything alright?" I asked, my voice laced with concern."Carmen, we need to talk. It's about something important," Sean's voice sounded grave, sending a shiver down my spine.My mind raced with possibilities, trying to anticipate what could be troubling him. Did he uncover something about last night? Did he find out about Adrian and me? I forced myself to remain composed as I agreed to meet him at a secluded spot in the resort.As I made my way to our rendezvous, my thoughts were in turmoil. Sean's suspicions were growing, and I couldn't afford to let him uncover the truth. The cake, the conversation with Adrian—it was all part of a carefully constructed plan to protect my interests.Arriving at the designated spot, I found Sean waiting for
As I walked away from Carmen, a wave of conflicting emotions washed over me. Doubt, suspicion, and a lingering sense of unease gnawed at my conscience. I knew that I couldn't afford to let myself be consumed by doubt. Carmen's behavior had raised too many red flags, and I needed to uncover the truth before it was too late.I needed to gather more evidence, to peel back the layers, I needed to know the extent of Carmen's betrayal, to understand the depths of her deceit.As I wandered the resort grounds, my mind raced with possibilities. What had Carmen been hiding from me? And more importantly, who else was involved in her lies?As I strolled through the resort grounds, each step I took felt heavier. The picturesque surroundings seemed to mock my turmoil, their beauty a stark contrast to the darkness brewing within.My mind raced, replaying every interaction with Carmen, dissecting every word and gesture for hidden meanings. I couldn't shake the feeling that Carmen planning something.
As I walked away from Sean, a whirlwind of emotions swirled within me, leaving me feeling bewildered and uncertain. His sudden change in demeanor had caught me off guard, and I couldn't help but wonder what had prompted it. Was Sean beginning to see through my facade? Or was this just another one of his manipulative tactics?As I continued to walk, my mind raced with questions, each one more perplexing than the last. Had Sean truly fallen in love with me, or was he simply pretending in order to gain the upper hand? And if he did have genuine feelings for me, what did that mean for our future?The piece of paper Sean had found flashed in my mind, taunting me with its presence. How had it gotten lost from the envelope? And why had Sean reacted so strangely upon seeing it? It was as if he had been taken aback by its contents, rather than immediately confronting me about it as he usually would.I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that settled over me like a dark cloud. Something was of
As the car sped through the city streets, the steady hum of the engine lulling me into a false sense of security, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over me. Adrian had come through for me once again, his unwavering support providing me with the strength I needed to face whatever lay ahead.But as the minutes turned into hours, the exhaustion of the day's events began to catch up with me. My eyelids grew heavy, weighed down by the stress and uncertainty that had plagued me for so long. With a weary sigh, I allowed myself to succumb to sleep, the rhythmic motion of the car lulling me into a restless slumber.When I finally awoke, it was to the sound of muffled voices and the sensation of rough hands shaking me awake. Disoriented and groggy, I blinked away the remnants of sleep, my eyes struggling to focus on my surroundings. It took a moment for the reality of the situation to sink in, but when it did, a wave of panic washed over me like a tidal wave.I was no longer in th
