Just after a round of sex, Andrew Baines lay back on the bed, casually wrapped in a sheet while the woman next to him, the "banging hot chic" with dark, flowing hair, played with his hair. Her eyes sparkled with mischief, and she leaned in, planting a kiss on his bare shoulder.“This place is nice,” she purred, tracing her fingers down his arm.Andrew smirked, glancing at her. “Only the best for you, babe.”She laughed softly and settled closer to him, resting her head against his chest. They seemed comfortable, like this wasn’t the first time they’d done something like this.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. The woman sat up, her eyes were wide with panic. “Who could that be?”Andrew frowned. “Probably nothing. Just relax.” But the knocking came again, this time it was louder."Go away!" Andrew barked, his irritation began to rise.The woman was clearly nervous now. “What if it’s—”“It’s not,” Andrew snapped, cutting her off. “Just stay calm.”The knocking persisted.Andrew
The figure stepped into the room, and Andrew's heart dropped. It was Linda, his wife. She stood in the doorway, her eyes turned wide with shock and her mouth was now slightly open. Her gaze flicked from Andrew, half-naked and wrapped in a towel, to the woman still sitting in bed, clutching the sheets around her.“Andrew?” Linda’s voice trembled. “What are you doing here?” Tears began to well up in her eyes, spilling down her cheeks. “You were supposed to be in Belonte! What are you doing here, half-naked, with this woman?”The woman in the bed, now panicking, glanced between Andrew and Linda, her eyes started darting around the room as if searching for an escape. She looked terrified, as she was caught in a mess that she didn’t want to be part of.“Wait, baby, wait!” Andrew said, stepping toward Linda, his hands were held up defensively. “I can explain!”Linda’s eyes narrowed, her face began twisting in hurt and anger. “Explain?” Her voice cracked. “What the hell do you mean, expla
Two days later, on a bright morning, Romeo found himself standing in front of the massive gates of the Davidson estate. He knew that getting Mrs. Davidson on his side was his best chance to wreck Andrew Baines. But he knew that convincing her wasn’t going to be easy, especially as he was the one doing the talking.Inside the estate, Mrs. Davidson was still on house arrest. A security guard stood at the front door, and cameras were hidden in every corner, watching her every move. Even so, she went about her daily routines within the house as if nothing was out of the ordinary.In the spacious living room, Mrs. Davidson was in the middle of her early morning yoga session. She stretched out on a thick, plush mat, and her movements were graceful and controlled. Two servants stood nearby, holding trays with water and coffee.As she bent down to touch her toes, one of the servants, a young girl named Lily, winced in pain. Her hand was aching from holding the tray too long, and suddenly
Mrs. Davidson's eyes flashed with suspicion as she crossed her arms tightly across her chest. She glared at Romeo. "I see what this is. You're jealous, and you’re so desperate to destroy a beautiful union that I created. There’s no way I’m believing a bum like you."Romeo smiled calmly, he looked so unfazed by her harsh words. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Davidson. I’ll call her myself.”Without missing a beat, he pulled out his phone and dialed Linda’s number. After a few rings, a familiar voice answered.“Hello, Romeo.”“Hello, Linda. How’ve you been? I hope you didn’t let what Andrew did overwhelm you.”There was a brief pause on the other end before Linda sighed. “Romeo, I’d be lying if I said it didn’t get to me. But… I saw a therapist yesterday evening.""Hmmm, that is good to hear, you need that therapy. So when.""Actually, as I’m speaking with you now, I’ve got some of my things packed, and I’m heading to Mom’s place.”Mrs. Davidson’s face drained of color. Her eyes widened in shock.
Linda stared at her mother in disbelief, shaking her head slowly. "Wait, Mom, you really want me to officially divorce Andrew?""Of course," Mrs. Davidson said without hesitation. "He cheated on you. You two are separated already. What's wrong with making it official so you can get your benefits?"Linda's heart sank, and she shook her head again. "Mom, I can't believe you're saying this," she whispered, as her voice was filled with shock. "Mom, if I can remember correctly, you were the one who pushed me into marrying Andrew. I thought you'd encourage me to forgive him or at least try to work things out. Maybe even organize a meeting so we could talk things through…"Mrs. Davidson's eyes narrowed slightly, and her voice took on a sharper edge. "Come on, Linda. When are you going to stop thinking like a little girl?"Linda clenched her fists, refusing to let her mother intimidate her. "Mom, I know how to work for my own money. I don't need Andrew's money or his assets. I’m not doing thi
Early the next morning, Romeo was jogging through the streets, with his worn-out shirt clinging to his back and his old shorts hanging loosely around his waist. He had been posing as a street urchin, blending in with the crowd as part of his usual plan of knowing the inside things of the state of affairs. His feet moved in a steady rhythm, and his mind was lost in thought.Suddenly, he heard a faint buzzing in his ear. His earpiece was vibrating, signaling an incoming call.He slowed his pace, taking a quick glance around before bringing his hand up to his ear. "Hello, who’s this?" he asked, with a steady voice."Romeo, it’s me, Linda," came the soft voice on the other end.He frowned slightly. "Hey, Linda. What’s up? How are you?"There was a brief silence, and then he heard her sob. "Romeo, I’m not fine. Nothing is fine," she said, her voice was breaking as she began to cry.Romeo’s concern deepened. "Come on, Linda, what’s wrong? Why are you crying? Tell me."Through her tears, L
About an hour later, Romeo, still in his worn-out shirt and old shorts, walked toward the Baines Company headquarters. His sneakers scuffed against the pavement as he moved with purpose, with his eyes scanning the area. Sergeant Hans had told him that Andrew would be arriving soon with his entourage at the family company headquarters. Romeo leaned casually against a nearby wall, watching the busy entrance. He tried to look like he was just another person on the street, blending in as he always did when he needed to.Twenty minutes passed, and finally, three sleek, black cars pulled up in front of the building. The doors opened, and several well-dressed men stepped out, surrounding Andrew Baines as he emerged from the middle car. Andrew was wearing a crisp suit, his hair neatly styled, looking every bit the wealthy businessman he was.Romeo pushed off the wall, entered the company gate and started walking toward him, his eyes locked on Andrew. He moved calmly but with an intensity
At around six in the evening, Andrew Baines walked out of the company building with his men. He looked confident, just like he always did, surrounded by his guards. The same sleek, black cars from earlier were waiting for him.Andrew got into the middle car, and his men quickly entered the other vehicles around him. The cars started moving, leaving the company premises. They drove smoothly through the city with the usual authority and acute awareness of their surrounding.As they approached a junction, a big truck suddenly drove in front of them, blocking the road causing the sleek black cars to come to an abrupt stop. Andrew, who was sitting in the middle car, was confused. “What the hell is this?” he muttered, looking around.Before anyone in his entourage could react, a second vehicle rammed into Andrew's car from the side. The impact was heavy, but before Andrew could understand what was happening, the car that hit them reversed and backed away.Suddenly, several masked men in
