“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.
