We finally arrived at our home after a long and silent drive. I could feel the tension in the air as we parked the car and got out. He carried the cookies that we had bought from the bakery, but he didn’t say a word to me. I followed him into the house, wondering what he was thinking.

He set the car keys on the table where he always did, then sniffled and rubbed his nose. I stood behind him and put my hand on his shoulder, hoping to comfort him somehow. He looked at me over his shoulder, his eyes full of questions and doubts. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but then closed it again. He shook his head slightly, then walked upstairs without another glance at me. I watched him go, feeling a surge of panic in my chest. He shut the door behind him with a soft click.

I took a deep breath and let it out slowly, trying to calm myself down. I had to be ready for whatever he was going to ask me. I had to lie convincingly and stick to my plan. I couldn’t let him find out the

    I stared at her incredulously. How could he do this to me? How could he know who I was and still lie pretend for so long? “So you’re telling me that my husband knew I am the heiress of the empire all along?” I asked, my voice trembling. “That he erased my memory because he thought I knew about it and I was hiding it from him?” I clenched my fists, trying to control my emotions. “How did he even find out about me? It was supposed to be a top-tier secret. How did he get access to that information?”She whimpered, her eyes wide with fear. She knew I had a gun pointed at her head, and she knew I wouldn’t hesitate to pull the trigger if she lied to me again.“Please, Jane, please,” she begged. “I’ve told you everything I know. He hacked into your father’s company database and found out about your existence. He tracked you down and seduced you. He married you for your money, not for any silly contract you guys had planned. He planned to get rid of you after he got his hands on your fortune.

    “Yes, of course, anything you need. I’m with you now,” she said with so much zeal that I almost believed her. But again, I couldn’t trust anyone. Not after what he had done to me. Not after what she had done to me. So how could I be sure that she was really with me? How could I trust her? I asked her, glaring at her. She swallowed hard, feeling my suspicion.“You can put a Bluetooth on me and a mic or whatever, just to make sure that I don’t cross you. But I swear, I really want to get back at Rick for everything that he has done. Oh my God, how stupid was I?” she said, rubbing her temples. Being an empath that I was, I could tell that she was not lying. She was genuinely hurt and angry at him. And I could use that to my advantage. I finally had another ally, and it felt good. It called for a celebration, a personal celebration of course.“It’s a done deal then,” I said, smiling. “Alright, let me go and get some wine so we can celebrate our victory together and then we’ll get to work

    “Alright, alright, I feel you,” she said, looking me in the face. She burst into laughter and I joined her, feeling a rush of adrenaline. I couldn’t believe what I had just done, but I guess desperate situations call for desperate actions, like I’ve said before.“OK, so what if I told you that he didn’t really offer me a particular amount of money? He just offered me a good life that I really liked, so I got carried away by everything. And that was actually a very stupid decision to make, now that I think about it,” she said, mostly talking to herself. But I was there, so I could hear everything she was saying clearly. And I agreed with her, because I was once delusional like her. Not anymore.I reached out and touched her arm gently, trying to comfort her. “Listen to me, there’s nothing to be ashamed of, there’s nothing to feel stupid about, OK? We are women, that’s just the way we are. We love it when men treat us right, we love it when they whisper sweet nothings into our ears, we

    “What can I say? Women supporting women!” I said with a grin, clinking my glass with hers. Her long blonde hair cascaded over her shoulders, framing her delicate face. She had blue eyes that sparkled with mischief and a red dress that hugged her curves.“Alright. Champagne please?” She asked, eyeing the bottle on the table with a greedy look. I quickly remembered that we were supposed to drink a little and just get into some details about our lives, nothing too serious. Just enough to make her trust me and reveal her secrets.I nodded and poured some bubbly liquid into our glasses. “Cheers!” I said, raising my glass again. She smiled and sipped her drink. “So, tell me about yourself,” she said, leaning back on the couch. She crossed her legs and twirled a strand of her hair. She looked confident and relaxed, but I knew she was hiding something.I laughed and shrugged. “Well, nothing much. I mean, you already know I’m Jane, I’m married to Rick, the most boring man on earth,” I joked, r

    “OK, shoot. Tell me what I need to do,” she said, clasping her hands. She looked like a child waiting for a candy.I smiled and turned to face her. I lowered my voice and said, “I need you to threaten her. Oh, wait, no. Better still, I need you to kidnap her,” I said with a wicked grin. I saw her eyes widen and her mouth drop open. She looked scared and shocked, but I wasn’t going to hear a no for an answer. I was a very ruthless person, but I couldn’t carry out any of my tasks myself. I needed somebody who was well capable of doing that. And I needed Bianca out of the way, so I could make my move on her husband, regardless of what my gym instructor had told me.“So, are you in or out?” I asked, putting some pressure on her. “Remember, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. You can have everything you ever dreamed of, if you help me and I can be very nasty, if I want to.”“I get what you’re saying, but what I don’t understand is why you want me to go that far. To kidnap her? I mean

    “Fuck you. Why didn’t you tell me that there are cameras in this room? Where are they?” I asked, standing up in panic. There was every possibility that my husband may have heard or seen what was going on and he would prepare ahead of time for it. And I didn’t want anybody to mess up my plans.“What did I tell you that I would do to you when I find out you’re not being loyal?” I asked her, threateningly. She just kept shaking like a little baby, trying to protect herself so that I wouldn’t hit her or do anything bad to her. “I swear, I-I didn’t know how to tell you. I’m sorry. You can take the cameras down. I know a way. I know where we can erase them from his phone so he won’t see it,” she said, pleadingly. I hissed and clenched my teeth. “Oh, my goodness. Are you fucking stupid? What if he has seen it already? He’s with his phone. We don’t have a chance,” I said, angrily. She looked at me with a very scared expression. I was already feeling sorry for her, but my plans were about to

    So I finally finished my skincare and decided to slip into some pajamas just to be comfortable while I slept that night.I decided to go with my bum shorts which were also of very lightweight material and the matching top that went with it. I felt really comfortable and got into my duvet. I turned off my lights and called it a night. But before I closed my eyes, I checked my phone one last time. I had a missed call and a text message from Landry. He wanted me to come to his office first thing in the morning. He said it was urgent.What could be so urgent that Landry couldn’t wait till morning to text me? And why was he texting me by 1 AM in the morning? A shiver ran down my spine as I saw his name flash on my screen. I looked at the call and it was Landry, but I didn’t want to pick it up. So I just had to ignore it because I was really really sleepy and very tired and I just wasn’t in the mood for any calls at that point. But the call kept persisting and I knew that it was very import

    I drove silently to the hospital, the only thing on my mind was how I was going to do it alone. I had literally nobody to speak to, because at that point I didn’t trust anybody, not even my sister. I was trying so hard to make sure that none of this blew up and I was going to see it to the end. I parked my car in the lot and walked straight to his office. I knocked on the door and a minute later he opened it and looked at me with a bright smile. “Hello, Jane,” he said as he left the door open for me to enter inside.I walked into his office with my chin held high and my chest out. I went and sat down on the chair without him asking me to. I was trying to give him an attitude for not checking up on me all this while. “So, start speaking. I don’t have all day,” I said with a smug attitude as he chuckled lightly and walked behind me and placed his hands on my shoulders. “Can’t you at least say hi or that you miss me?” he asked with a romantic voice, massaging my shoulders a little.

    “Well! Now, we’re going to have to make a new round of chicken,” I said, groaning angrily while he chuckled and pointed toward the store room.“At least we have a whole island of them,” he joked and I nodded, slightly feeling guilty about wasting food.I had grown up to know that wasting food was not an option and here I was, abusing the gift of abundance. I needed to retrace my steps.“Why don’t we just order takeout?” I suggested and he pondered a while over it before he shrugged and looked me in the eyes.“What?” I asked and he shrugged. “Well, why do you want takeout?” He asked and I rolled my eyes. He was literally impossible.“Don’t give me that look! I just want to know why. I can cook the food if that is what it’s about,” he pressured but I was already having a headache as he kept going on and on.“I didn't know men talk a lot,” I spat and he looked at me with a surprised expression.“Okay, I’m only talking this much because I want you to be comfortable with me. I don’t want

    “Oh, I see. Well, it is hard for a guy to pass by you and not stare at you with his eyes or even make a passing comment. But that’s not what we’re trying to talk about here,” he said, noticing my uncomfortable look. “I’m sorry, okay? I just want to keep letting you know how beautiful you are and how lucky I feel to have you over. How lucky I feel that both of us are sharing the same house at the moment. How lucky I feel that I’m helping you with whatever it is that you need, okay? I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable near me. I want you to feel very comfortable because it’s going to be a long ride in the long run. But I need to remind you once in a while how crazy you drive me,” he said and I blushed again.“Okay, I’ve heard you. I’ve heard everything you said. Now, I guess it’s time to go and have dinner. Maybe. I’m starving,” I said to him as he nodded in agreement. “Of course, yeah, dinner. I didn’t even realize how much time had passed since I stayed with you. You make time go

    “Alright then, we can drive there right now,” David said with a mischievous grin. I looked outside and saw that it was already getting dark. I just wanted to smile and relax and wait, because obviously he couldn’t penetrate that safe. And I made sure that it was a high-quality safe that I laid my hands on while I was at UNI. You know, that woman who first gave me those original documents? She also gave me that safe. Nobody could crack it open, not even the best programmer in the world. It couldn’t even be blown up by a bomb. It was just a safe, just the way it was. So I was less bothered about that, but what I was a little bit bothered about was the fact that he would go in there and probably start taking all the furniture and all his clothes and all that.“Don’t worry, there’s no rush. Revenge, especially the sweet ones, take time. We’re going to go tomorrow. It’s already getting late. We should make something to eat and go to bed,” I said to him with a smile. He smiled back

    “Jane, Jane, relax.” David said, as he rushed towards me. He tried to hold my shoulders, because I looked like I was going crazy. Like I was going mad. And he was probably very afraid at that point, because I was acting batshit crazy. That I was going to injure myself or him. So he held me firmly in his arms and made me look at his eyes. His caring eyes.I said to him, with tears in my eyes, “All the assets, everything I worked my ass off for, everything is gone. I have searched everywhere. I have checked everything. Maybe I misplaced it. But no. Henry has betrayed me.” I said in the most heartbreaking voice you could ever imagine.I was so heartbroken, because I never would have done the same to Henry. But why did he do this to me? He had stolen from me. And I would not stop until I had stolen back from him.“I always knew Henry was shady for that thing he did. Of course, it had nothing to do with getting married to you or you being a terrible person to get married to. There were alw

    “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I said, with a very nervous chuckle, as I tucked my hair behind my ears and faced forward, avoiding his gaze. But deep down, I knew he was right about what he was saying. I was just very afraid to admit the truth. He asked again, “Jane, look at me. We need all the information we can get if we’re going to get to the bottom of this. You don’t have to be afraid to release any information. You don’t have to be reluctant to do that, OK? I’m here, standing by your side. I’m always by your side and I will forever be by your side. Right now, we need all the information we can get. You’re the only one who can give us that information. Do you understand, Jane?” He asked, looking at me intently. I shook my head, feeling overwhelmed by emotions. I didn’t know how to feel at that point, because he was right. I knew so many things that could have made Henry make this decision of his. Or whatever it was. I knew quite a few things about why he may have lef

    “OK, so I have some detective friends who could also help out in your case, but I need your consent with everything. I promise you it’s not an affiliation with anybody, not your ex-husband, not your fiancé. You know I just really want to help, just in case you need backup. Is that OK with you?” He asked, his voice gentle and reassuring.I looked at him, feeling a surge of gratitude and affection.His eyes met mine, and I saw a flicker of something else in them. Something warm and tender, something that made my heart skip a beat.I almost wanted to jump up and hug him, but I had to comport myself because I was a lady. Oh, fuck it, I thought, and jumped up and hugged him tightly. He wrapped his arms around me, holding me close.“What was that for?” He asked, sounding surprised but pleased.I smiled shyly and pulled away slightly. “Well, you care about me more than anyone else cared about me ever since I lost my child. So I think you deserve more than that.” I said softly.He took my ja

    “Why don’t you call them to know what’s up?” He asked, looking at me with concern. I shook my head.“No, no, no, no. We already spoke about this. We discussed it. It’s OK. They will have to be the one to call me after the mission is complete. I can’t call them now. It would be destroying something in the mission.” I said, biting my lip nervously. I was already tapping my feet fast on the ground and grinding my teeth anxiously. Just remembering everything already brought a knot to my stomach and a lump to my throat. And I guess he noticed, because he reached out to my hands and took them in his. He rubbed them gently and gave me a reassuring smile.“It’s OK. I’m sure you’re going to get the text soon. But I need to ask you some questions. I don’t know if it will be OK for you to answer them for me.” He said and I looked at him. I hesitated a little bit, because I didn’t say I was going to trust anyone with the information that I had. But I was willing to give him a small chance. May

    “Oh, not so fast, David,” I said, holding up my hand. “Not so fast. You have to take it easy with all this flattery. I’m very quick to fall in love, haven’t you noticed that?” I teased him and he looked at me with a twinkle in his eyes. His smile matched his eyes, bright and warm. It was one of the most brilliant features about him. Was I falling in love again? I had just promised myself that I wouldn’t fall in love so quickly, but I couldn’t help it. This man was amazing. So good looking… Even more good looking than Henry and Rick combined. And I had a very high affinity for very good looking men. And to be honest, at that point, I didn’t really care. I just felt that I should live life and just be who I wanted to be, when I wanted to be, and how I wanted to be.“Oh, I have noticed,” he said, leaning closer to me. “We did have quite the chemistry there when I first walked into the room. When I got coffee with you, you know… I felt it. It was kind of obvious. But I didn’t think anyth

    I felt dizzy for a while because I was so confused. I was usually the one who said I love you first in all my relationships. I was usually the one who made the first move, probably because of my desperation. I hoped so much that this man wouldn’t see through my desperation, that he wouldn’t see how desperate I was to find somebody to love. But obviously, I was wrong because he saw it. Why would a man be telling me that he loved me on the very first day we met? And given the circumstances surrounding it, it was a big lie, at least in my ears. What did he mean by love at first sight?“Jane, Jane, did you hear what I said?” David’s voice woke me up from my little mini trance right there. I didn’t even realize that I had drifted off from the normal conversation that we were having. But in truth, I didn’t know what to reply to that because obviously, I didn’t love him. But I did have a little bit of liking for him. And if there’s anything I’ve learned over the past few months, it’
