I followed them to a resort hotel on the outskirts of the city. The two of them entered the lobby, laughing and chatting as they went. "Welcome. Your reserved suite, room 609, is ready," the receptionist said.Adjusting the Bluetooth earpiece in my ear, I was pleased to find that the audio quality remained clear. Last night, I had prepared for this. Before going to bed, I visited my equipment room and grabbed a high-efficiency, noise-canceling microphone, which I discreetly tucked into the inner pocket of Lindsey's bag. Unless she took a close look, she would never notice.As they stepped out of the elevator, the sounds of their escalating passion already filled my earpiece. I couldn't help but chuckle. I retrieved my DJI drone from the trunk and set it up in a nearby open area. After the drone took off, I looked for the location of room 609 on the monitor. After several sweeps, I finally caught sight of the two of them currently engaged in an intimate moment. "Kenny, you'r
After arriving home, I collapsed onto the newly upholstered leather couch. Then, I powered on my Switch and started playing Mario Kart. Although a part of me worried about what Lindsey might do after what had happened, the adrenaline rush of the racing game soon pushed those thoughts aside. Just as I was getting absorbed in the game, I heard the sound of the fingerprint lock being unlocked.Sure enough, it was Lindsey. She walked in, her hand covering the swollen side of her face, the spot where that burly man had slapped her. I feigned surprise. "It's only your first day there, baby. What brings you back so soon?""Ugh, I can't believe it. The meeting got canceled at the last minute, and they didn't even bother informing us properly. I made the trip for nothing."What a load of nonsense. If I hadn't seen everything unfold with my own eyes, I might have believed her flawless lie."I had been looking forward to this meeting for a long time. I was really hoping to participate, le
Two days later, Lindsey's dance school hosted its annual gala. With her striking appearance and graceful figure, Lindsey was naturally given a prominent role. Paige, seated at the judges' table below the stage, was watching everything with a grim face.The evening progressed smoothly until it was Lindsey's turn to perform. She stepped onto the stage in a light pink, flowing dance costume that fluttered elegantly with each twist and turn. She glanced down at Paige and lifted her chin with a subtle air of defiance. 'See this? Despite your weight and looks, Kenny prefers to sleep with me,' she seemed to say with her expression.Paige's face tightened into a frown as she turned to glance at her husband beside her. To her annoyance, she noticed him watching the performance with keen interest."Ahem." She cleared her throat."Ah, Paige, how are you planning to score her performance?" Kenny asked, trying to sound nonchalant.She gave him a sharp look and then jotted down a big zero o
Most of the people present knew that Lindsey and I were dating and that we were supposed to get married soon. I walked up to her and, without a word, threw the bouquet I had prepared to the ground. My expression was darkened. When she opened her mouth to explain, I slapped her hard. The force sent her tumbling to the floor, and her face twisted in pain."Lindsey, you and your family know full well how I've treated you. I have nothing to feel guilty about. But how dare you do this to me?" I demanded."Honey, I—""Save it. We're done."To amplify the drama of the moment, I squeezed out a few tears. I wasn't even sure if I was acting or if I genuinely felt the bitterness and sorrow. Lindsey's parents rushed onto the stage. They stumbled as they grabbed my arm and began pleading for another chance for their daughter."Mr. and Mrs. Stirling, I'm sorry. But it's over between us."Then I pushed open the door, and the sunlight outside shone on my face. The air smelled like freedom.
In the days leading up to the New Year, our house was constantly filled with waves of visiting relatives and friends. After seeing off the last of our guests, my girlfriend Lindsey Stirling and I collapsed onto the soft, cozy couch in our living room."Babe, you've worked so hard these past few days." Lindsey lifted her soft feet and placed them on my lap, and I massaged them for her."I'm completely worn out. So, how do you plan to make it up to me?" She lay back on the couch with her mobile phone. Her fingers moved swiftly across her phone screen, the clattering of her typing filling the room as she messaged someone whom I had no idea about. "How about a nice dinner tonight? Get yourself ready and put on some makeup. I'll take some nice pictures of you for your social media."Several notifications popped up on her phone, one after another. I asked who it was, but she just smiled and kept typing away.I got up and inched closer to her to take a glance at the screen. The display
After Lindsey left the apartment, I removed the couch covers in the living room and tossed them into the washing machine. Then, I headed into the bedroom to see if I could uncover any sort of clue. I searched for a long time, and before I knew it, the sky outside had turned dark. However, I didn't find anything. Maybe I was just overthinking things. Just then, my stomach growled. I decided to call Lindsey, thinking we could grab a meal together. "Hey, babe, where are you?" "What is it now? It hasn't been that long since I left, and you're already calling? I told you I'm out shopping with Kenny." Her tone was laced with irritation, and I could practically picture her frowning on the other end of the line."Oh, nothing. I was just wondering which mall you guys are at.""We're at Wonder Plaza near our place. Why are you asking so many questions?""I'm hungry and thought maybe I could meet you for dinner. If your friend doesn't mind, he can join us. It'll be my treat." I figured i
I called Lindsey's mother, Maria Stirling, next. "Mrs. Stirling, I'll be bringing Lindsey over to see you and Mr. Stirling soon.""Brad, it's already late. Why don't you come over another day if there's something you want to discuss?""Alright then, Mrs. Stirling. I'll hold onto the New Year's cash gifts I prepared for you and Mr. Stirling for now.""Oh, Brad, you don't need to be so polite with us. We're family. How far away are you? Roger and I are making dinner. Just adding two more people to the dining table is no trouble at all. It's almost New Year's. The more, the merrier."I hung up and felt a chill in my heart. For two years, I had treated Lindsey and her family with nothing but sincerity. Yet now, Lindsey was cheating on me, and her family didn't treat me well, even bluntly telling me before that with her looks and talents, she could do much better. I had been keeping all of this resentment locked away in my heart. Sooner or later, they wouldn't be smiling anymore.Linds

After returning home, I sat on the bed and contemplated how to handle this matter. I was just about to contact someone when Lindsey slowly slid open the bathroom door. She emerged wearing a revealing red lingerie set, with lace covering her most sensitive areas, leaving just enough to the imagination. The stockings she wore lightly hugged her thighs, accentuating her figure.I stared, momentarily stunned by the sight. She approached me slowly and pushed me down onto the bed. For a moment, I couldn't help but think, 'She really knows how to play her cards; it's been a while since she put on a show like this.' Yet, a pang of discomfort settled in my chest.I pushed her away and straightened my slightly disheveled clothes. "I'm too tired today. I don't want to do this. Let's just get some rest," I said firmly.She threw a fit, yelling that I wasn't a real man and that I didn't react even when she went to such lengths. I opened my eyes, stood up, and looked at her with a mix of fr
