Rock, Paper, Scissors Chapter 10
It was pouring heavily the next day as I left work. The raindrops could well be bullets fired all over me, buffeting me in tandem with the raging winds, leaving me with icy pain. I haggardly opened the door and threw my soaked jacket at the doorway, ready to look for a towel in the washroom.The house was quiet. I looked around as I dried myself, and found Scarlet sleeping on our bed—she must have caught a cold last night. After changing into dry clothes, I touched her forehead…And dropped to the floor as if I had been jolted. Raising a trembling finger, I held it at her nostrils.Scarlet’s face was serene, and there was even a faint smile on her lips.Death was actually a release for her. My mind was a mess as I whipped out my phone and dialed 911, but the person on the other end said that an ambulance would take half an hour as there was a hurricane. She told me to attempt emergency resuscitation such as CPR, but I was sweating all over when I lowered my phone—by the time
Rock, Paper, Scissors Chapter 9
Five years had passed, and Scarlet’s appearance had changed dramatically.If you have seen pictures of her in the past, you would never believe that a slender woman with a sweet smile was the same person. Now, she was pudgy and her eyes laden with dark circles—everything from her behavior and fashion was vulgar, and anyone would take her for a middle-aged housewife when she left the house.Over the last five years, our game of rock-paper-scissors repeated endlessly. Whenever she struggled, I broke her with a casual smile and nonchalant words, even as she sank further in position.On the other hand, I was the same old me—my figure was still robust, my cheeks were flushed, and my hair was still very thick whenever I looked into the mirror. A little fixing, and I would be very much presentable.By the way, I had also been keeping my libido in check. David had a friend who owned a joint with many vain young women, all of whom were younger and prettier than Scarlet, and a little doug
Rock, Paper, Scissors Chapter 8
It was only natural that Scarlet couldn’t afford to divorce me.She was under no delusion now that she was past thirty. Even if she did retain some beauty, no man would want her given her troubled history. Moreover, with every single friend and family siding with me, she might have trouble making ends meet if she left me.That was why she began to change, becoming a completely different person. She began to work diligently to earn my favor—she constantly kept the house squeaky clean, spoke with humility with me, and although she had never cooked before, she was eventually able to make scrumptious dinners. Now, I would find a cup of tea waiting for me every night when I come home, and I could feel it warmed perfectly with just a brush of my fingers.Of course, all of that took great effort. And then there was her bedside approach. She would dress seductively, and constantly snuggle up to me after I turned the lights off. One night stood out in particular—perhaps because her lust
Rock, Paper, Scissors Chapter 7
After my father-in-law suffered a stroke, I ran around to gather money, asking help from friends and contacts at the hospital to try to get a private ward for my father-in-law. My mother-in-law and the rest of their relatives were all on my side since I had already solidified my image as the good son-in-law, and it was only natural that every protagonist needs an antagonist—just as I turned away from the corner, I could hear my mother-in-law bellowing, “What is your malfunction?! You had a good family, and Kevin is so down-to-earth and diligent! How could you do something like this?! How could you bear to face your father and the rest of our family?!”I glanced over my shoulder to spy my mother-in-law poking at Scarlet’s head, and she wobbled like a doll.And after my mother-in-law was done scolding Scarlet, her phone started ringing, and she answered with a stammer, “Mr. Johnson, I…”However, before she could finish anything, the person on the other end had already said something
Rock, Paper, Scissors Chapter 6
That man’s name was Henry Zeller. He had attended the same high school as Scarlet, and they had been dating since then. Henry had also already been a thug since those days, and he was said to have done it all—whoring, substance abuse, and the like.Rumors claimed that Scarlet had to get several abortions because of him, and now that I thought about it, she must have become barren since then. It was hilarious how I had always taken the blame for that on myself when our relatives asked why we did not have any children despite being married for so long, saying that I was too old and wasn’t really physically fit. To make things worse, I was moved whenever Scarlet pretended to reassure me, saying that we could take our time.It just so happened that Henry had broken up with Scarlet in the same year I met her on our blind date. He had raked up to a hundred thousand dollars in debt and fled to the northern states, where he had hooked up with a masseuse—the reason Scarlet had agreed to the b
Rock, Paper, Scissors Chapter 5
The worst kind of blackmail in the world is emotional blackmail, that creeps like an invincible virus into your veins—once you’re caught, you’re not getting away.Likewise, psychological abuse is the most extreme abuse there is. Physical violence, profanities, and even facial expressions are unnecessary for the total devastation of a person’s heart.I used those two weapons perfectly, to the point that everyone knew that Scarlet was a cheater, and everyone hurled abuse no matter where she went.In contrast, they all showed sympathy and kindness to me. They would curse Scarlet’s name with the harshest curses, and advise me to get a divorce, with some of the women even saying that they would introduce me to better ladies—on occasion, directly in front of Scarlet. I really enjoyed the rage in Scarlet eyes and her quivering lips during such moments, and yet she would never say a word.She had lost the right to even complain.And at home, we basically had zero communication apart fro

A week later, I found the perfect chance—when Scarlet brought that man home again, I called the cops to tell them that a burglar had broken in and asked them to send help as soon as possible. After hanging up, I rushed home at top speed, and found my neighbors standing outside my doorstep after hearing the commotion. The cops then stood behind me, asking me to stay calm and back away after opening the door.My heart began to pound as I wiped the sweat on my brow, and briskly opened the door. Three officers charged inside right then, barking orders like “Don’t move!” or “Stand by the wall!”Minutes later, my neighbors and I watched as they led a skimpily dressed Scarlet and a man with a naked upper body out of the house.Silence ensued, and everyone stared at me with different expressions, ranging from mocking, sympathy, to expecting me to cause trouble… and it was natural that I couldn't let them down after planning all this. Taking a deep breath, I charged at that man with a r

Scarlet was bathing when I reached home at night. Although she had tried to clean up, I could pick up the scent of pheromones released in the air after mating. Still, I held back my disgust and quietly removed the storage card from the camera I had set up, and quietly slipped it into my pocket.“You’re late. What’s wrong?” Scarlet asked as she stood at the door and dried her hair with a towel. The droplets of water over her shoulders were especially enticing.“That massage chair was an imported model, so it took some time to teach your father how to use it,” I answered with a smile.“Did they like it?”“Your dad did say that it was quite comfortable.”“Want to take a bath and come to bed?” she asked then, batting her eyelids with mischief—a signal for some hanky-panky. She had just brought a bastard home in the afternoon, and now she wanted to fuck me too? My stomach churned and I almost puked.“Not tonight, darling. I still have a slide deck to finish for tomorrow’s meetin
Rock, Paper, Scissors Chapter 2
After some time, I’ve made plenty of set ups including several camera lenses placed at concealed corners of the room, and used her ID to make a list of her call records. Afterwards, I bought a massage chair worth a few grand for my in-laws—my father-in-law especially had a bad back after he worked as a teacher for his whole career.He had complained to me a few times before, although I had yet to spare time to buy one before.“Try it. Just lie down, and I’ll adjust the angle…” I muttered as I diligently fiddled with the controls. “Why would you buy such an expensive one? It’s not like you and Scarlet earn that much…” My father-in-law complained with a frown, but there was no hiding the smile in his eyes, and it was very obvious that he was very pleased with the gift.“We earn money to spend it anyway. And what’s some spare change in return for your good health?” As I spoke, I raised the seat and my father-in-law’s expression eased.At the same time, I remembered the distant pas
