Story: The Last Move Is Mine
Wesley was well aware that I controlled the majority of his wealth. He couldn’t afford to have Charlotte upset me because it would mean losing everything.
Charlotte, remembering my previous advice, used her pregnancy to get into trouble with Wesley. I expected their relationship to become more strained, and their schism to deepen. That would make me very happy.
That night, I messaged Charlotte. “Having fun?”
Charlotte responded: “Not really. I wanted to take wedding photos before my belly started to show, but he refused.”
How greedy of her to consider getting wedding photos taken.
I responded with a text: “Smash everything and throw a tantrum. Threaten him with an abortion if he refuses to take the photos. He’ll definitely give in.”
Two hours later, Charlotte said, “It really worked!”
I responded with a smile: “If he doesn’t listen to you, keep messing with him. In the worst case, just drag it out as long as you can.”
Charlotte responded, “Yeah! If he irritates me, I’ll make sure he regrets it.”
A while later, I called Wesley and asked, “Darling, are you having fun?”
Wesley replied sarcastically, “She’s so annoying. Not only does she refuse to go for her check-ups, but she also demands wedding photos. Taking care of her is more exhausting than my job.”
I acted like I was worried, saying, “Darling, just bear with it for now. Everything will be fine again once the baby is born. Just play along with her. She could still get an abortion at four months, so don’t upset her. Give her the wedding photos she wants. It’s just taking photos. No big deal.”
Wesley snorted. “I’ll bear with it for now. Once the baby’s born, I’ll kick her out. If she messes with me again, I’ll teach her a good lesson.”
I quickly consoled him and ended the call.
I smiled as I looked at the new recording on my phone, thinking, “Now, I have more evidence against Charlotte.”
A few days later, Charlotte sent me the wedding photos she had taken with Wesley. Honestly, the photos turned out fantastic. The photos were visually appealing because they were both attractive.
But, to me, those photos were incriminating evidence.
Two months later, Charlotte and Wesley returned from their trip. Charlotte was six months pregnant by this point, and her belly was showing.
When Wesley returned, he immediately approached me and enquired about the company’s performance.
I smiled and assured him everything was fine. I even secured the large project that he had previously failed to land.
Wesley was ecstatic and couldn’t stop praising me. I smiled and remained silent, thinking to myself, “Eventually, you won’t have any more reasons to laugh.”
I had already tinkered with the new project. It would completely surprise Wesley. I transferred all of our assets the day before he returned from the trip.
“Oh, by the way,” I said, as though I remembered, “I heard that Mom and Dad had an argument recently. But I’ve been so busy with the company’s projects that I haven’t had time to visit. Maybe you should visit them.”
Wesley was taken aback but quickly responded with indifference, “My parents? Don’t bother. They’ve been arguing like this for years and have always made it through.”
