Handprint on the Window Chapter 10
Rory cried hard and fell to the ground, weeping in a heap by my feet. I was startled and tried to get him to leave. However, he hugged my legs and refused to let go of me.I thought that he must have gone crazy in the head, so I exclaimed, "If you don't leave now, I'm calling the police!"Rory then yelled at me, "What else do you want me to do? I've already been punished enough! Must I die before you're finally happy with the outcome?" He suddenly knocked me to the ground before rushing into my place. I was shocked. This was bad. He was going to do something to Bella!I quickly stopped him and promised to give him some money. It was only then that the ferocious expression on his face finally vanished.I took out all the cash I had at home and gave it to him. However, he didn't know that I'd secretly pressed the recording button on my recording pen back when I'd still been trying to dissuade him.After taking my money, Rory ordered me not to tell anyone about this, or else he did

I went to take a shower after dinner. It was then that I suddenly saw a weird palm print on the glass window.Someone must have left that palm print behind with their soapy hand while taking a shower. The print was quite faint and white against the shiny glass on the window.It was obviously a woman's handprint, and it wasn't mine. My hand was a little bigger than this. So I couldn't have been the one who put it there. It couldn't have been my daughter, Bella Quinton, either. She had tiny hands and wasn't even tall enough to reach that spot yet. Also, it definitely did not belong to my husband, Rory Quinton.If that was the case, what kind of woman would have used the shower in my home, and why would she even do so?I kept telling myself that I shouldn't overthink things. Despite that, I just couldn't help combing through the bathroom in search of more clues.I didn't notice any other weird prints in the bathroom. However, I did smell an unusual fragrance that smelled like perfu

As I headed out for work the next day, I bumped into Mia Fontana, our new neighbor, in the elevator. She was a pretty young woman with a very sweet and demure voice.She was wearing a floral dress with an exquisite sling bag over her shoulder. She looked young, fresh, and very likable in general.I had a good impression of Mia because she was often very warm and welcoming with her greetings. Today was no exception. She smiled widely at me and greeted me. "Morning, Gaby!"I stood next to her and returned her smile. Just as she lowered her head, her long hair fell slightly to the front, and I caught a whiff of a very familiar scent from it. I was very shocked. Wasn't this the scent I'd smelled in my bathroom just yesterday?My smile froze on my face. I looked at Mia's clean makeup look and did my best to suppress my emotions. Then, I pretended to ask casually, "Mia, Rory said that the heater at your place broke down last night. Did you use the shower in my house?""Me? Oh, I did

I'd met Rory while we'd both been in college. We'd dated for two years and gotten married after graduating. Five years had passed since then, and we also had a five-year-old daughter. I'd never thought he would betray me and our marriage now.Rory and I had been dirt poor when we'd gotten married after graduation. We'd founded a clothing company together afterward. Things had started out rough, but gradually, our effort began to pay off. We now owned a house and a car, and we even had plenty of savings.No one would be able to understand all the hardships we'd been through to get to where we were today.

"If you don't leave now, I'm going to take legal action against you!" I threatened, hoping Mia would know what was best for her.However, she simply replied, "You won't. You've always been wary about protecting your reputation. Also, you have a young daughter, so you'd never want to make this into a huge fuss. But don't worry about it too much. Rory will divorce you very soon."I gripped the mug in my hand. I'd never thought dealing with a mistress would be like trying to get superglue off of my fingers. I wanted nothing more than to tear her into tiny pieces with my bare hands.However, I had to hold myself back for Bella's sake.Since I had nothing more to say to Mia, I got up, paid for the bill, and left.

I was so agitated that I was about to rush over and drag Mia away from Bella. However, a split second later, Mia slapped Bella on the cheek.Meanwhile, Rory just strode over to the car from afar, went up to Mia, and kissed her.Rory and Mia had been seeing each other behind my back after all! It seemed they thought I was easy to fool. I'd been too naive. How could I have believed the promises they'd made to me? What I'd seen would also explain why Bella had been very unhappy lately. While I'd thought I'd been doing everything I could to protect her, my naivety and kindness had only caused her more pain.I decided right then and there that I wouldn't hold back any longer. To hell with it! I only had one thought left in my mind—I wanted to watch the disgusting couple perish before my very eyes!I stopped myself from rushing forward and socking them in the face, convincing myself that I had to meticulously plan my approach so that I could exact my full revenge on them.Ironically

The second he signed the order contract, I got people to cause trouble for him, majorly disrupting his flow and delaying the delivery of raw materials as much as possible.Although Rory tried his best to make up for lost time by getting everyone to work overtime, he still couldn't complete the order within the stipulated time.Frustrated, Rory then got into a row with the person in charge, demanding that they extend the deadline. However, the other party said they were going to follow the terms that had been clearly written in the contract.There was nothing Rory could do but pay up the massive fine outlined in the contract.Just like that, he'd failed to reap any profits from this order.
