As Carol left, Mila slipped a spare key into her pocket. A plan was already forming. She wasn’t going to let this betrayal slide—Richard and Carol were about to experience a weekend they would never forget.
On her way home, Mila couldn’t shake the fury building inside her, but she knew she had to keep her cool. She needed to play her part convincingly, so she dialed Richard’s number, forcing a sweetness into her voice that made her stomach churn. “Hey, are you coming home tonight?” she asked, pretending to be the doting wife.
Her heart pounded as she waited for his response, every second filling her with more anger. “No,” Richard replied, his tone distant and cold. “I’m already heading out of town.
I’ll see you on Monday.”
Mila gripped the steering wheel tighter as she listened to his lies, barely able to contain the rage that bubbled beneath her calm exterior. Richard had lied to her face without hesitation, and it stung deeper than she had expected. How easily he dismissed her.
But now, she knew the truth, and it was her turn to act. She wasn’t going to cry or beg for answers. She had something far more satisfying planned.
“Okay, have a safe trip,” she said with forced warmth before hanging up. The moment the call ended, her hands trembled, not from sadness but from the anger that coursed through her veins. The betrayal was real, and Mila was done playing the role of the trusting, naïve wife.
Later that evening, she sat in her living room as she dialed another number. This time, her voice was calm but filled with a new determination. She wasn’t just acting anymore—this was her plan in motion.
“Everything’s set,” Mila said smoothly into the phone. “We’ll meet there at 8 p.m.”
The man on the other end agreed without hesitation, and Mila smiled for the first time since that morning. A wave of empowerment rushed over her.
This wasn’t just about catching Richard in the act—this was about making him pay for what he had done. She hung up and stood from the couch, her mind clear and focused. Tonight was the night she would confront both Richard and Carol, but not in the way they expected.
It was time for them to experience the consequences of their betrayal, and Mila was ready to make sure it was a night they would never forget. Mila arrived at the apartment exactly at 8 p.m., her heart racing but her expression calm. Beside her stood Carol’s boyfriend, a tall man with an angry scowl etched across his face.
His fists clenched as they quietly let themselves into the apartment using the spare key Mila had kept. The plan was in motion, and Mila wasn’t about to back down now. The two of them crept through the hallway, the dim lighting making everything feel surreal.
As they approached the bedroom, sounds of muffled conversation and laughter reached their ears. Mila’s stomach twisted, but she pressed on, leading the man through the door. The sight that greeted them made her blood boil.
There, lying in bed together, were Richard and Carol, oblivious to the storm brewing just outside their bedroom door. The silence was broken by a furious shout. “What the hell is going on here?” Carol’s boyfriend roared, his voice echoing off the walls.
His anger filled the room like a tidal wave, causing Carol to bolt upright, her eyes wide with terror. She scrambled to cover herself, her face draining of color as she realized what was happening. Richard, on the other hand, looked pale and shaken.
His body trembled as he slid out of bed, falling to his knees in front of Mila. “I didn’t know!” he stammered, his voice weak and desperate. “I didn’t mean for this to happen, I swear!”
But Richard’s pathetic pleas for forgiveness didn’t move Mila.
Instead, they fueled her sense of justice. Carol, who had once been laughing and carefree, now stood in disgust, her lips curled as she glanced at Richard groveling on the floor. The man she had been cheating on stood silent, fists clenched, glaring at her with a mixture of rage and disbelief.
Mila, cool and composed, stepped forward, her eyes locked on Richard. “Oh, Richard,” she began with a mocking smile, “remember how you insisted on that marriage contract? The one that states if either of us cheats, we owe the other a large sum of money in a divorce?”
Richard’s face turned as white as a sheet.
He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. Mila continued, her voice steady and firm. “Well, I’ll be sending your things to you along with those divorce papers.
It’s over.”
Without waiting for a response, Mila turned on her heel, the sound of her shoes the only noise in the suddenly still room. Richard collapsed back onto the bed, his face a mix of shock and regret as the weight of his actions crushed him. Carol, standing in stunned silence, avoided eye contact, her earlier bravado completely gone.
Mila walked out of the apartment with her head held high, a sense of victory swelling within her. She hadn’t just uncovered Richard’s betrayal but took control of the situation, ensuring that she would emerge stronger, while he was left to drown in his regret. Justice, she thought, had been served.
