Chapter: Chapter 7: Final PreparationsCallie's POV "What if we kidnapped them both?" Melanie sat crisscrossed on my couch looking over the detailed work in my composition books. I hadn't thought about bringing Katherine into my demise, she was innocent. She couldn't have known her husband was indeed a womanizer, and if she had wouldn't she have divorced him long before now? I looked at Melanie confusingly, "Why would I do that? She didn't do anything, she didn't know about me. She did what any wife would've done almost, she made him eliminate the problem. Me." "You're pregnant," she pointed her index finger toward my almost noticeable growing belly, "He ignored you, he didn't want you to contact him anymore. Do you think he told his wife the severity of the situation here? Someone has got to tell her." Since finding out I was pregnant, Melanie had made herself seemingly more dedicated to getting justice for what Stefan had done. She had practically moved out of her own apartment and into mine, near catering to me hand

Chapter: Chapter 6: Calm Before the StormStefan's POV The waves plummeted onto the shore and I felt the water through my toes. Breathing in the intoxicating salty sea air as I raised my head towards the heat of the sun rays, soaking in the last day of paradise. Katherine snuck up from behind me, wrapping her arms around my waist and revealing margaritas for two in her hands. I pulled her around towards the front of me taking in every bit of her beauty, "You were right, we needed this." Her smile never faded as she caressed her hand around the back of my neck, pulling me in to kiss her soft lips once more. Katherine and I refused to bring a marriage counselor into the midst of our problems, instead Katherine suggested a little time to recuperate from the damage I had created. Booking flights for two for a week's stay in Cancun, booking couple's massages, and the two of us enjoying each other's company. I was skeptical at first, however, during the days of our stay I found myself falling in love with Katherine all over aga

Chapter: Chapter 5: Unexpected Callie's POV ***WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CHAPTER CONTAINS SEXUAL CONTENT. 18+ ONLY ***"I know a guy who sells chloroform, that's the easiest way you're going to drug someone long enough to get him where you want them to be," Melanie twirled her spoon into her coffee, mixing the contents. We were sitting in the back of a Waffle House a few blocks from my apartment, having a late breakfast and gossiping over my latest scheme. I diligently jotted down her information into a composition book which pages were now filled with an act of hostility much greater than anything I was used to. "Melanie, there's only one thing I'm forgetting," I peaked over the edge of the book and at her, "How am I going to drug him? I can't even get a phone call, much less a text message from him." Melanie sat across from me, her hand resting on her chin holding her head up. I could see the wrinkles slowly forming across her forehead as she sunk deeper and deeper into her train of thought. She was thinking so

Chapter: Chapter 4: RedemptionStefans's POV Mine and Katherine's life stayed divided for the next upcoming weeks. Her mother would come by the condo every Wednesday to water Katherine's abundant collection of plants, all the while staring daggers right through me the entire time. I couldn't blame her, I was the reason Katherine had left. My work continued on as usual, and I came to the realization I was set to handle the case of the same marketing company of Callie's employment. My father was always a busy man, wasn't getting any younger, and I knew it was only a matter of time before he agreed for retirement. For years now, I had been working under his belt, knowing one day I would be the face of the law firm. I knew, however, the worst thing I could do was stay on the same case that involved my estranged lover. Not when I was doing everything in my power to regain my life back. My father's wrinkled forehead was creased as I entered his office, a sign of evident frustration which I was about to pile onto. "Fat

Chapter: Chapter 3: Twisted ThoughtsCallie's POV Sleep never came easy, hasn't for weeks. Three weeks had passed since the day Stefan never showed up to our meeting place without warning, not a call nor a text. I couldn't say I wasn't worried, in reality I felt as if I didn't have control over my mind. Different scenarios went off in my head like fireworks. Did he change his mind, and tell his wife? Did he find something or someone better? Did I go too far, revealing my feelings for him? Did our affair really just come to an abrupt halt because of me? I didn't intend to take things as far as I had with Stefan from the beginning, the night at Georgie's Pub. The waiter had been hitting on me all night, coming to my rescue the second the last drop would escape from my glass. Despite his generosity, I couldn't keep my eyes off of Stefan. At some point during the night, our eyes met and we held each other at the glance for what seemed like hours. It was like our eyes had met in an embrace, I could feel my cheeks flushi

Chapter: Chapter 2: BetrayalStefan's POV The mass aroma of bacon and eggs filled the air of our condo. This could not have been a more perfect morning. The birds were outside chirping, the sky was crystal clear without a cloud in sight, and the trees gently swayed to the morning wind. This morning, however, my mind kept flickering towards Callie. It was Tuesday. The day after, what normally would've been, a day where I had met Callie for another hookup. The thought of her beautiful strawberry blonde curls, freshly done though she would deny it, sent my head on a rollercoaster of emotions. Today was different, because yesterday I hadn't seen her. I was avoiding her, now more than I was yesterday. I was avoiding the confrontation that was inevitable. I avoided her yesterday to avoid admitting my true feelings. That I, too, was falling in love with her regretfully. I was avoiding bringing the entire affair to a complete stop, for if I didn't, my entire life was going to come crashing down all around me. As I l
