Throughout the hours until I clocked off, I worked in a dazed state. My mind was a chaotic mess. All I wanted to know was the truth.If Sarah was telling the truth, then my marriage with Winona was built on lies.I had tolerated Winona's cheating and remained married to her because she donated her kidney to me. What a joke.By the time I arrived home, it was nearly dark. My heart was as dead as the night sky.I numbly pushed the door open. No one was in the living room, but I could hear Winona talking in the bedroom."Harold, I've searched the entire apartment, but I still can't find the necklace you speak of. Does that loser even have it?" My heart stuttered in shock. How did Harold know of my necklace? Just what did they want?I could not hear what he said through the door. All I knew was that he was urging Winona to make her move."I want to do it too. I don't know what's going on with that darned man. The last time I seduced him, he did not even bite. Who knows what's wrong
There was a strange feeling swelling in me. I was not worthy of all the effort Sarah was putting into me.At this point, I was just a worthless loser. It did not matter if she pitied me or liked me.Five years ago, I was not worthy of her. Now, I was in a worse state, so I was even less worthy.I stood there for a long time, unmoving. I didn't even notice Sarah walking closer to me.Her warm breath brushed against my neck. Now that she was standing closer, I could smell the alcohol in her breath.I wanted to push her away and make her something to help her sober up, but she insistently leaned into my arms.I held my arms up high in the air, too afraid to even touch her.She did not say a single word. As awkwardness descended, she suddenly looked up at me. "Jonathan, answer me this. Do you like me?"Truthfully speaking, I once truly loved her. However, there was a huge divide between us. That divide did not vanish in the last five years. Instead, it grew wider and wider until it
For the next few days, I was kept busy with learning how to take over the family business.By the time I saw Winona again, it was near Smith Manor.She was on her knees, begging like a pauper for Harold not to abandon her as she was pregnant with his child.Harold merely broke free of Winona's grip with a disgusted look on his face. "Winona, you likely don't even know who the father of that child in your womb is, do you? You want to turn me into a cuckold? Dream on. Now, let go!"Winona seemed to have lost all her confidence when she heard that. She grabbed his sleeves and pleaded, "Harold, I was drunk. I know nothing. When I woke up, they were all standing next to me. They even threatened me with the video. I had no choice. Please help me!"Harold continued to mock her, speaking louder this time. "Winona, you must be out of your mind with all the drugs you took! You dug your own grave, so resolve it by yourself. I have nothing to do with a wanton woman like you. Stay away from me
Winona viciously yanked at Sarah's hair as she held a knife up to Sarah's neck. She said that if I did not stab myself, Sarah would die.I looked at Sarah, who signaled for me not to do as Winona said. However, Winona fiercely twisted and tugged Sarah's hair once more. Despite how heavy-handed Winona was, Sarah never once screamed in pain.We were now at a stalemate. Just then, Harold lit up as if he suddenly had a great idea.He had Winona guard me as he moved to tear Sarah's clothes off of her."Jonathan, I'll have you watch as I pleasure the woman you love. First, it was Winona. Now, it'll be Sarah. You'll be a loser through and through."Sarah could not make a single sound due to the tape over her mouth, so all she could do was struggle as she fought Harold.Winona viciously shouted to her, "Sarah, looks like the day has come. You think you are a dignified heiress. But in your core, you’re just a tart!"Winona's evil cackle echoed in the room, creating an eerie atmosphere.
This was the price he and Winona deserved to pay. I gave them a chance, but they spat in my hand. They would only have themselves to blame for what would happen to them. When I took Sarah home, I realized something was off. Those monsters drugged her, and I didn't realize it. I told the driver to turn around and make a beeline for the hospital, but Sarah stopped me. The drug was strong, and it was a miracle she still had her sanity. She leaned in my embrace weakly and called my name."I can still hold on, Jonathan. I'm not going to the hospital. I… I just need your help."I knew what 'help' meant, but she was drugged, so it would feel like taking advantage of someone who couldn't make a sound judgment. However, she hugged me tightly, her voice getting softer and more alluring. "I just want you…"I didn't hear what she said next. She started to sob, much unlike her usual self. That only made her more alluring. I had a feeling I couldn't hold back any longer. The night was still you
Under the dim lights, I plowed as hard and fast as I could, but Winona Sundown, my wife, was still unsatisfied."Jonathan Slymouth, can you hurry up? Even if you're useless at everything else, how can you be so useless at this? Are you even a man?"I could no longer recall how many times Winona had taunted me over this same thing.At first, I even mourned and felt hurt due to my ego as a man. I had privately sought many advice and supplements to get Winona to be satisfied with me.I never thought that while the specialty supplements were so expensive that they cost nearly half of my monthly salary, they had little effect on me.When Winona found out, she laughed and mocked me for it, saying one could not make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. I was a loser in whatever I did.No matter how unpleasant and hurtful her words were, those were the facts.I could only compensate Winona through other means. As soon as I was paid, I would put 500 aside for my meals before handing the rest
Winona and I parted on unpleasant terms that day. I knew she was only streaming to give us a better life. Still, as a man, I could never accept the fact that my wife was doing that kind of stream.From then on, Winona no longer streamed. I took on all of the housework, thinking it would make her less stressed.She gave me the cold shoulder the entire time. Even though she was a woman with a high drive, she never once asked me to take her to bed.I excused her behavior as her still being mad at me. I planned to cook her a feast of her favorite food to put her in a good mood while I told her about the new job I found.While my job as a security guard at a hotel was not as glorious as my old job, I could find an additional job once I settled down.I would work hard to earn more money for her. I would no longer make her feel forced to do something she did not like.I had planned to surprise Winona with the feast, but she wasn't at home.I called and called, but she never answered he
After I passed my probation at work, I would always get home late. Winona would always be asleep by the time I arrived home.As I admired her serene sleeping face, my heart softened. I gently got into bed, careful not to wake her.Just then, her phone buzzed. The message lit up the screen before my eyes.'Tomorrow night at nine. Room 8102 at Pinnacle Hotel. I'll be waiting for you, babe.'It was a blatant invitation to meet in a hotel room. No matter how much I tried to bury my head in the sand, I knew that this was clear evidence she was cheating on me.Everything made sense now.Winona did not want me to work at Pinnacle Hotel because she was afraid I would run into her and her lover.She had apologized to me with a kiss to dispel my doubts. As for refusing to do it with me, she wanted to keep herself pure for her man.We had been together for five years. She once won me over by donating a kidney to me. Now, she cheated on me, turning me into an absolute joke of a man.Even
