"Don't make it sound so harsh! You're just paying to buy something from me. Else, I can't guarantee where this item might end up," Tessa said, pushing me away.She continued, "I have more than one, you know… all those times on the bus, in the washroom, in the hotel… I have plenty."I finally realized I had been played!That woman was not just a simple fling; she had initially approached me with a plan.I forced myself to stay calm, but my voice shook as I asked, "How much?"Without missing a beat, she replied, "Not much, just a hundred thousand. Pay it all at once, and I'll disappear.""A hundred thousand? Why don't you go rob a bank?" I shouted, my face red with anger, my chest heaving."Oh, come on. It's just the cost of a couple of bags. Don't tell me you can't afford it, right? For your reputation, you'll manage," she taunted, knowing she had me trapped. Her confidence was infuriating.She stepped closer, tapping her finger on my chest. "Three days. I'll be waiting. I'm eve
No matter how I tried to explain, Sophie refused to believe me. She waved me off, saying it was over between us.Sophie quickly packed her things, determined to leave and end our relationship.Only after Tessa had blackmailed me did I realize Sophie was the one who truly cared about me.I grabbed her hand, feeling regretful. "Sophie, I was wrong. I swear I won't have anything to do with her again. Can you give me another chance?"She shook my hand off. "Liar! All you men are liars!"With that, she left and did not look back, leaving me with only the finality of her departing figure.I had lost both my money and my girlfriend. Everything felt like it had turned upside down.However, deep down, I knew everything. I had deliberately walked right into their trap, willingly letting them play me like a puppet.Sophie left the city that night, thinking she had won. However, she was wrong.When I appeared before her again, she was holding hands with Tessa, the two of them heading out
My name was Michael Xander, and I worked as the HR manager for a multinational corporation.With the holidays approaching, I decided to take my girlfriend on a trip to unwind.We had been dating for nearly three months, but she often complained that I was too busy and rarely spent time with her. Occasionally, she would even hint at breaking up over that.So, I spontaneously booked us on a tour for quality time together.During the journey, Sophie could not stop smiling and, in a rare gesture, hugged me tightly, planting a few sweet kisses on my cheek.When we landed, a double-decker luxury bus was waiting to pick us up.The first floor had beds for sleeping, while the second floor was open-roofed for sightseeing along the way.Excited beyond words, Sophie fell asleep soon after boarding. Feeling bored, I took my phone and went upstairs to take some scenic shots, only to be greeted by an unexpectedly captivating sight.A stranger—a beautiful woman in a light lavender bodycon dre
I quickly regained my composure, reaching out to help her into a sitting position. Then, with concern, I asked, "Are you alright?"Tessa pouted and replied, "It hurts so much. I don't know what you men are made of, but you feel as hard as a rock..."I pretended not to hear her comment. "Glad you're okay. Let's get up."Just as I finished speaking, the driver abruptly stopped again, as if it were some sort of prank.Tessa had only started to stand, using me for support, when her heel slipped again. She toppled forward, her bright red lips inches from mine, creating an undeniable tension.Her soft hands rested on my upper body, and she stared at me intently."Gorgeous, your face is so red. Are you so shy?" she murmured, inching closer.As her lips neared mine, I found myself wanting to close the gap. However, my phone suddenly rang just before we kissed, displaying the word—Girlfriend—on the screen.Startled, I quickly moved back and answered, "Hey, babe. No, I haven't gone far.
I did not even remember how I left that compartment. The last thing I saw was Tessa throwing me a playful wink, her eyes full of expectation.All evening, I felt distracted, her words looping in my head like a spell.Her light word—love—seemed to strike a chord in me. I was so lost in thought that I did not even hear my girlfriend talking to me."Hey? Michael? Are you even listening to me?" Sophie, annoyed, snapped me out of it with a light slap.I blinked back to reality, a bit lost. "Huh? What's up?"She held up her phone. "There's a bar on the hotel's rooftop. Let's go check it out?"I was about to decline, but the thought that Tessa might be there made me nod without thinking.Sophie noticed my off mood and began complaining, "We're finally on vacation, but you're acting disinterested. It's like you don't even care. Do you even love me?"I quickly tried to reassure her. "Don't overthink it. I was just thinking about work, that's all. Alright, alright, I'm with you.""Work,
"Softer, love, you're hurting me…" Tessa whispered, her breath warm as she let out small gasps.However, I could not care less about her complaints. Since I got entangled with that woman, I felt like I was about to lose my mind!We were separated from the outside by a thin door, locked in our own world. Each move she made chipped away at my defenses until I finally surrendered, losing all control…Then, suddenly, I heard a familiar voice.Through narrowed eyes, I heard the words, "Weird, where did Michael go off to? Maybe I should call him…"Crap! It was my girlfriend's voice!I looked down and noticed my phone resting on the tissue holder, still at full volume. Tessa's eyes were closed, oblivious, but sensing my tension, she slowly opened her eyes and gave me a hazy look. "What's wrong?" she mouthed.I pressed a finger to her lips and reached for the phone as it started ringing!Panicked, I fumbled to hit decline but accidentally hit the answer button.Her voice came through
Sophie's eyes reddened with hurt, her anger fading."I'm sorry, I just… I love you too much, and it makes me insecure…" Seeing her on the verge of tears, I softened my tone to comfort her."There, there, let's stop with the tantrum. Go take a shower and get some rest." I gave her a gentle hug, but I could still smell the lingering scent of another woman on me.At that moment, I regretted my earlier impulsiveness.After lying down, I turned away from her. Sophie moved closer, putting her hand on my shoulder and leaning against me. "Honey, I can't sleep… We haven't been intimate lately, so maybe tonight…"She tried to remove my robe, but I gently held her hand, stopping her.In the dark, I could not help but frown. I had just been with someone. How could I manage it again so soon?Usually, I would never turn down Sophie's advances, but that night was different."We've had a long day. Let's rest up. Tomorrow, I'll take you shopping," I murmured, patting her cheek and kissing her h

The vacation quickly came to an end, and we were getting ready to return home. Everything would soon go back to its previous routine.While we waited for our flight, Sophie was engrossed in a video on her phone, headphones in, not looking up.Suddenly, a hand slipped into mine. Startled, I realized it was Tessa's. I briefly held her hand before letting go, afraid Sophie might notice.My phone screen lit up with a message from Tessa.[Goodbye, my dear. I'll miss you terribly. Until we meet again.]She added a kissing emoji. She was a temptress to the end. In just a few days, she had given me the thrill of a holiday fling, an experience I kept replaying in my mind.Once we returned to normal life, I found myself fixated on Tessa. She felt like an addictive drug, and my thoughts often drifted back to our encounters. In contrast, my interest in Sophie waned.Finally, one day, I could not resist anymore and decided to reach out to Tessa. Just then, a message from Sophie popped up.[
Sophie's eyes reddened with hurt, her anger fading."I'm sorry, I just… I love you too much, and it makes me insecure…" Seeing her on the verge of tears, I softened my tone to comfort her."There, there, let's stop with the tantrum.
