Tainted Love WHAT’S WRONG WITH MY WIFE
MORENO’S POVI sat frozen with my eyes glued to the screen as I scrolled through the news article. I stared at it in disbelief, who would have resolved to such childish tactics?

It could be anyone, my business rivals, or even Alvaro, but he wasn’t one to resort to such underhanded tactics.It was clear to me that this sex scandal was no mere coincidence.
