Story: The Last Move Is Mine
I tried to console him: “It’s normal for pregnant women to fuss about everything. They’ll go through mood swings because of the changing hormone levels.”
“But she said she wanted to go abroad for a break and asked me to go with her. I can’t believe it.”
I pretended to be surprised, but quickly reassured him, “Go ahead. We should be more accommodating because she’s pregnant; don’t you want to go too?”
Wesley remained silent for a few seconds before releasing a deep sigh. “I’m just worried for her safety. I’m also busy with a new project. I really don’t have the time.”
I frowned and thought for a moment before offering a suggestion: “Just go. Take her abroad for a break and bring her for prenatal checkups if you want. They might have more advanced technology abroad.”
I put a hand on his shoulder. “I’ll handle the company. Take this opportunity to rest and relax. You’ve worked hard these past few years. From now on, I’ll always be by your side, supporting you.”
Wesley looked at me with eyes full of unspoken affection. “Darling, I love you so much.”
I kissed him while smiling shyly. “Here’s a kiss to melt away your stress. Take good care of Charlotte when you’re abroad. Don’t upset her, for the baby’s sake.”
Wesley left home that night, having enjoyed my homemade dinner.
Two days later, Wesley took Charlotte on a trip. I smiled as I walked into the office, ready to put my plan into action.
I had not been idle during this time. I reviewed the company’s accounts and discovered numerous issues. I also looked into Charlotte and Wesley’s neighbourhood and discovered that they presented themselves as newlyweds.
As I organised the evidence I gathered, I continued to set up traps for them.
One day, I received a message from Maria stating that she could not reach Wesley. I explained that Wesley had travelled abroad with his pregnant lover.
Maria had no objections and decided to leave them alone. I hung up the phone, smiling, as I considered how to deal with these two old fools.
My initial plan was to get rid of Wesley, his parents’ source of pride, and inflict the pain of loss on them. But that wasn’t enough for me. I wanted to pit these two old farts against one another.
I arranged for a few 30-something women to hang out in the neighbourhood where my in-laws lived. Within three days, they had ruined my in-laws’ already fragile relationship, which had been hanging by a thread for Wesley’s sake.
At first, I thought Gilbert would be difficult to defeat, but most men can’t resist the allure of the opposite s*x. I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt when I saw the videos of my in-laws fighting. I needed to save these videos for Wesley later.
Soon after, the private investigator sent me a message informing me that Wesley and Charlotte had argued.
I instantly perked up. Those two couldn’t keep it together, could they? How did they get into an argument so quickly?
Charlotte, eager to move up the social ladder, discovered that Wesley did not love her as much as she thought. He only wanted her to give him a child.
“But she said she wanted to go abroad for a break and asked me to go with her. I can’t believe it.”
I pretended to be surprised, but quickly reassured him, “Go ahead. We should be more accommodating because she’s pregnant; don’t you want to go too?”
