Loyalty Lisa Scottoline

Setelah menagih utang dari keponakan tunangannya, keesokan harinya tunangannya memberikan sebuah buku catatan utang yang tidak pernah dilihat oleh Lisa Garta sebelumnya. Buku itu mencatat setiap pengeluaran mereka selama lima tahun berpacaran. Dimulai dari es krim seharga empat ribu hingga tas-tas mewah yang diberikan olehnya. Bahkan biaya kamar hotel dan kondom pun tercatat di dalamnya. "Aku akan menanggung separuh biaya kamar hotel. Setelah dikurangi 200 juta yang kamu pinjamkan untuk Kelly, kamu masih berutang 4,16 miliar padaku. Kukasih kamu waktu satu bulan untuk mentransfer uang ini ke rekeningku."

This is part 2 of “The Temptation of Adultery” The question is whether there is loyalty in love or not. The answer is, of course, yes, but it has never been considered obligatory. If loyalty were mandatory, “adultery” would not exist. Unfortunately, loyalty not only exists but is also a temptation so sweet that it's difficult to break free from. However, the price for loyalty is never cheap, and it never has been. Bella's husband and her close friend are paying the price for the karma they have created—the price they have to pay for betrayal, infidelity, and exploiting others is steep. But Bella is no exception either; the price she must pay may be far higher than that of the two who betrayed her. The man named Levi Karter, with whom Bella has been having an affair, is not an ordinary person. It wasn’t until everything was over that Bella realized she had made a deal with a demon for the sake of revenge. But no matter how much Bella struggled and tried to escape, she couldn't get away from him because… being bound and possessed by Levi was the price Bella had to pay after making a deal with him. To understand more, please read “The Temptation of Adultery” and then read “The Temptation of Adultery 2” The content is for 21+ readers, so please consider this before reading!

I was five months pregnant when my husband, James Fletcher, allowed his mistress to invade our lives—on the very night of our wedding anniversary. But she didn’t just come to flaunt her presence. She came to take my life. Pregnant and vulnerable, I confronted her, desperately clinging to my dignity. But the fight ended with me tumbling down the staircase, my swollen belly crashing against the cold, hard ground. Blood seeped across the floor, vivid and unrelenting. James only arrived after hearing about his precious mistress’ ordeal. He stood there, staring at the pool of blood, at my broken body. But instead of helping me, he rushed to her side. She had nothing but a few superficial scratches, yet he swept her off to the hospital like she was the one dying. By the time he returned, my child was gone. The doctors barely managed to save me. And what did James do? He struck me in front of everyone, his words sharper than the sting of his hand. "Lisa only wanted to bring you a Christmas gift, and you attacked her out of nowhere! You shameless witch!" “She didn’t force her way in! What nonsense! I gave her the house key ages ago. You just can’t stand that she’s prettier and kinder than you!" “You didn’t just hurt her. You killed my child! You vile, despicable woman. Why couldn’t it have been you instead?” Lisa stood beside him, pretending to comfort him while flashing me a smug, victorious smirk. James’s vicious tirade didn’t stop there. He dragged my name onto the internet, painting me as a monster.

"Don't do this to me please, why are you treating me like this?" She asked him but he ignored her and looked away. She attempted to draw closer to him but he gave her a stern look "Don't you dare touch me! I can't love you Lisa, how many times do I have to tell you this? I don't want you coming anywhere near me ever again....I'm in love with your sister and you know well that our wedding is few months from now. Why are you bent on spoiling our happiness?" "Stop saying that! I met you first, remember? Why do you have to treat me like trash because of her? I love you Dave, my life will not be complete without you! I've always dreamed of carrying your baby! But now you despise me because of her that stole you away from me!" She said as tears rolled down her cheeks. He couldn't utter any more word till he saw her beginning to undress while getting closer to him. Damn! She was going to seduce him with her skimpy dress that revealed too much of her huge breasts, bulging out of it. "What are you trying to do Lisa? Are you insane?" He retorted, drawing away from her reach. "Yes I'm crazy Dave, I'm crazy for you!" She replied as she got further closer to him within touching distance and before he could utter any more word or take further action against her, her lips were pressed forcefully against his as her huge breasts crashed against his hard chest!

Saat kami bersitegang, tiba-tiba muncul kobaran api besar di lorong.

Ibu, kamu tunggu paman lain saja yang datang menyelamatkanmu!” Aku menatap mereka pergi, bibirku menyunggingkan senyuman pahit. Sepertinya mereka lupa bahwa aku punya asma parah. Tanpa masker gas, aku bisa mati.
