All Chapters of Late-Night Rendezvous: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

My name is Hendrix Wilker, and I'm a salesman. I had spent most of the month working outstation. This time, my boss sent me on another two-week business trip, and all I could do was resign myself to my fate. There was nothing I could do because I needed the money—even if that meant I had to work extra hard for it. After two weeks, I came back from my trip. However, unlike last time, I didn't tell my wife in advance because I wanted to surprise her.My wife's name was Kathleen Todd. We used to work at the same company. After she married me, she became a full-time housewife and relied entirely on me to support her financially. Even so, I never felt resentful because I loved her very much. I opened the door and snuck into our apartment. Kathleen was preparing food in the kitchen with her back turned to me. She was wearing a see-through shirt over a white bodycon mini dress. Her outfit put her perky butt and long legs on full display.Although we had been married for years, I gulpe

Katherine's legs were shaking, and she was trying hard to remain calm. She pulled up her pant leg, and I did see a purplish-blue bruise on her knee. "Be careful when you run next time. Don't hurt yourself," I reminded.Kathleen smiled and replied, "Okay, darling. I'll be more careful from now on." It seemed I was wrong and had been overthinking things. Kathleen was faithful to our marriage. How could she possibly betray me? I realized that I had gone overboard with my intrusive thoughts. The more I thought about it, the more guilty I felt. I hadn't been able to satisfy Kathleen's needs. On top of that, I even doubted her. "I'm going to shower now," Kathleen announced, walking past me with a giggle. As she walked by, I caught a strange scent. It smelled like rubber, and it made me wrinkle my nose—it was similar to the smell of a sheath. I tried to reassure myself not to overthink it and repeatedly told myself that Kathleen wouldn't betray me.While she was in the shower, she

While Kathleen was out, I went home and secretly installed cameras. After that, I found a substance testing lab and sent them the "protein powder" I collected. I needed a third-party report to gather concrete evidence against Kathleen for poisoning me. Since it was clear that my marriage with Kathleen was over, I decided I might as well expose her completely.I settled temporarily at a nearby hotel and then called Gordon's wife, Sylvia Dawson. Sylvia was in charge of the company's finances. With how frequently Gordon had been seeing Kathleen, my guess was that Sylvia had long found out about his affair. Recently, I also noticed that every time I got paid, there was an extra amount in my account. At first, I thought it was a mistake. But it had happened three months in a row. Plus, whenever I returned from a business trip and went to file expense reports, Sylvia always greeted me with a smile. While others had to go through several steps to get their expenses reimbursed, mine w

Just when things were getting intense, my phone suddenly rang. "Who's calling?" Sylvia asked. "It's Kathleen. I don't know why she's calling," I replied. "Then answer it," Sylvia urged. I felt it was inappropriate, but I still followed Sylvia's suggestion and answered the call. "Hey, honey. What's up?""Didn't you just ask what I was doing? What's that noise I'm hearing?" Kathleen sounded concerned. It was the sound of Sylvia breathing heavily, so I quickly covered her mouth. She did it on purpose—she wanted Kathleen to hear. "Oh, it's nothing. Someone was passing by as I was climbing the stairs," I explained hastily. "I see. Well, I wanted to tell you that I was sleeping with your boss, Gordon." Kathleen openly admitted her infidelity. "I can't believe you cheated on me!" I pretended to be furious."Hendrix, let's get a divorce. You can't perform your husbandly duties, and you don't earn enough. Being your wife has been nothing but hardship—" She didn't even get to

Kathleen shook her head. "No, Sylvia took most of the company's money. Gordon's business failed, and he blamed me for being a jinx. So, he dumped me." So, that was how it was. Kathleen cried as she leaned onto me. "Hendrix, you still care about me, don't you? I'm sorry for what I've done. Please give me another chance. You'll forgive me, right?"I pushed her away. "Kathleen, I'm not someone who just takes anyone back after they cheated on me. Leave. I don't want to insult you, but it's impossible between us." "No, Hendrix, please. I have nowhere else to go. I'm pregnant with Gordon's child. No one else wants me," Kathleen said pitifully.Upon hearing her words, I smirked. "So, you came to me because no one wants you? You're right, Kathleen. I do still have feelings for you. Here, take the 50 thousand dollars I have here. I'm glad you came back to me. Take care of yourself. I'm going back to my hometown for a while. Wait for me to return, okay?" I then found a nice place for
