When She Messes Up

I am a beauty influencer with millions of followers on social media. During the peak of my popularity, I achieved financial freedom.Later, I met my husband, Carlos Houston, who was the CEO of a publicly listed real estate company. By the time I was 30, I had settled down and became a housewife.For my whole life, I'd always been blessed with luck—that was until we hired a live-in housekeeper for our home.One day, I came across a live stream of my own house while scrolling through social media."Check this out, guys. These are premium quality saffron. Look at the color of them! And I've got freshly caught cuttlefish here. Its tentacles are still moving. Let me show you how to kill this thing."Today's challenge is cleaning the windows in a house that costs 2 billion dollars. Thank you for the gifts, guys!"Lilian Sherman was our housekeeper. She came from a rural village and had a hobby for livestreaming. Every day, she documented her life as a housekeeper working in a wealthy h

"Honey, should we buy some baby things?" I asked. "We'll need them eventually when we have a baby.""Hmm? Sure, whatever you want," Carlos replied distractedly. Lilian was on tiptoes as she wiped down the cupboards. Her skirt had ridden up slightly, revealing her toned legs. Carlos' gaze was glued to her."Alright. I'll go shopping today and redecorate the house a bit in the afternoon," I said.I bought several baby monitors and installed them in every corner of the house. This way, even if I wasn't home, I could still monitor everything they did.The next day, I dragged a suitcase out in full view in front of both of them and said, "My friends invited me out on a trip. I won't be back until tomorrow night.""That's so sudden. You're just leaving like that?" Carlos glanced at Lilian fleetingly as he feigned disappointment."My best friend just came back from another city. Right, I have to go now, or I'll miss the train," I said.I took my suitcase and left the house. I even dr

"Here's the contract that my lawyer prepared. Take a look. If there are no issues, you can both sign it," Carlos said."I'm listed as the legal representative of your MCN company," I said, looking at him in confusion."Yes, you are." Carlos leaned down and embraced me. My stomach churned in disgust. "This is my gift to you, honey. It's what you used to do, so you're an expert in this. I'm sure you'll find it quite manageable."For once, this awful man had done a good thing. After what I saw last night, I had made up my mind to leave him.However, after being a housewife for so long, I lacked job experience. This MCN company would be my golden ticket to independence, so I signed the contract without hesitation."I'm going to get a rich businesswoman for a wife soon," Carlos said, pinching my cheek. Then, he told Lilian to pack his suitcase for him. "By the way, I need to go abroad to deal with a project. It's Project JH1630, the one that's been giving me a lot of trouble. You two b

The Kitty Bar was Oztraya's biggest strip club. A few years ago, when Carlos and I came here to travel, he had been eager to visit, but I had stopped him.I tracked down the club's owner, Peter Parkinson, and handed him a stack of money.His eyes lit up when he saw the money. With a beaming smile, he asked, "Which lady would you like? Private rooms are available.""No, I'm not looking for strippers," I said, waving my hand. Meeting his puzzled gaze, I continued, "I want you to hire someone as a stripper. Her.""Alaina, I… I can't dance," Lilian stammered behind me."Do you want to marry a rich man or not? This is a small sacrifice you have to make," I told her."Alright, then." Lilian seemed to make up her mind. She stepped forward determinately."I'll give you three days. I want you to teach her how to become a stripper. At the very least, no one should know that she's a newbie," I said to Peter."That's too hard," Peter protested, raising his eyes to the heavens."That's whe
