MasukOn Halloween night, I went to pick up my husband after he had been drinking. As I reached the door, I heard someone inside asking about the wildest thing anyone had ever done. In his drunken haze, my husband muttered, “I’ve been living a second life behind my wife’s back. After Halloween, I’ll end things with the other woman, go back home for good, and try to make it up to her.” My heart sank, though I felt a small sense of relief that he was getting back on the right track. He continued, “After all, our two kids are just three years old. This is when they need their dad the most.” Everyone in the private room praised him for being responsible, saying that nothing was more precious than a reformed man. I stood frozen in place, because we had agreed not to have children when we got married. I was the “other woman”.

They’re even threatening my business partners in an attempt to cut us off financially.”It was only then that I realized we were not just dealing with a despicable man, but with a deeply connected and powerful family.No wonder Tristan acted with such confidence.“Are you scared?” Maya suddenly locked eyes with me and asked.I shook my head and met her gaze. “Not at all. The more he acts like this, the more determined I am to put him behind bars.”What had started as a fight for justice turned into a desire to see this corrupt family face the consequences of their wrongdoings.“Fine!” Cindy slammed her hand on the table. “Since they’ve shown no mercy, we won’t hesitate to be ruthless. It’s just the Clarke family, isn’t it? Let’s see how far their influence really reaches!”Bound by the same enemy, the three of us became more united than ever.As our legal adv
The moment Tristan heard me call the police, he completely lost control.He broke free from the security guards’ grasp and charged toward me like a madman.“Bianca, you filthy woman! How dare you call the police!”Before his hand could touch me, someone stepped in front of me.It was Maya.She stared at Tristan with cold indifference, her gaze devoid of warmth.“You’ll be dealing with me.”Soon, the police arrived at the scene.Faced with undeniable proof, Tristan had no words to defend himself. He was promptly taken into custody for questioning.As he was escorted to the police car, he turned to glare at Maya and me. His eyes blazed with resentment and defiance.“You’ll pay for this… I won’t let you get away with it…”The wail of the police siren drowned out his voice.The party fizzled out, and the guests slowly dispersed, buzzing with gossip and stories to tell.On the expansive lawn, only Maya, I, and the hastily arriving Cindy remained.“Bianca, are you all right?” C
As soon as Maya’s words fell, the entire scene became eerily silent.Tristan’s face drained of color. He stared in disbelief at his wife standing on stage, his expression a mix of fear and fury.“Maya, w-what is this nonsense? Get down here now!” he barked sternly.Maya did not acknowledge him at all. She simply handed the USB drive to one of the staff members.Soon, the display on the screen changed. The first thing to play was a series of clear audio recordings.“Ours was a business arrangement with no feelings involved. You’re the only one I’ve ever loved…“Don’t worry. Once I secure control over her company, I’ll divorce her immediately…“That house? Of course, I’ll put it in your name. My money is yours, after all…”What had once been Tristan’s sweet words and empty promises to me became the most compelling evidence to expose his lies.Murmurs spread through the crowd. Every gaze fixed on Tristan seemed to burn with disdain and disgust.Once the audio recordings ended, t
To my surprise, I received a call from Maya three days later.Her voice over the phone was emotionless. She coldly informed me that I was invited to her child’s birthday party that weekend.I did not understand why she wanted me there. It was clearly a trap, but I agreed anyway.When Cindy heard about it, she reacted even more strongly than I did.“Are you crazy? Aren’t you just setting yourself up for embarrassment by attending his son’s birthday party? What’s Maya trying to pull? She probably wants to humiliate you in front of everyone to relieve her own frustrations.”“I have to go.” I looked at Cindy with a firm gaze. “I can’t let myself be mistreated for five years and do nothing about it.”Cindy could not change my mind, so she repeatedly urged me to look out for myself.The birthday party took place on the lawn of Clarke Villa with a large gathering of guests.Tristan froze momentarily when he saw me. Then, a sly grin tugged at his lips as he made his way over.He pulle
