My husband and my best friend ch.ea.ted on me on what I thought was the happiest day of his life.
However, fate had very different plans.
It was a day like any other, or so I thought.
After weeks of anticipation, my husband, Daniel, was about to give an important presentation at a company event he had worked so hard to create.
The pressure was intense, but he was prepared.
The night before, I had meticulously prepared everything, including his favorite meal, and when he left in the morning, I wished him luck with a smile that hid my growing anxiety.
He left, not suspecting what was about to happen.
However, something happened when I started cleaning the house. In the middle of the chores, I realized he had forgotten to bring his laptop.
That important presentation was saved on it and I couldn’t let his work be ruined by something so simple.
I decided to go to the hotel where the event was being held to deliver it to him and prevent his efforts from going to waste.
When I arrived, something was wrong. The hotel, which was usually full of people, was surprisingly empty.
Confused, I went to the front desk and asked the receptionist about the event. To my surprise, she told me that there were no events scheduled.
I thought it was a mistake so I asked if she could check their system to see if there were any reservations under Daniel’s name.
After a moment of silence, she confirmed that there was indeed a room booked under his name and gave me the room number.
I was skeptical, but I decided to proceed with caution. I went upstairs and approached the hallway.
Just then, I heard laughter, whispers, and something that made my blood run cold: kissing. My heart stopped for a moment.
I looked around the corner and was horrified to see Daniel and my best friend, Hugo, walking hand in hand toward the room.
Pain stabbed through me like a dagger, but instead of confronting them, I decided to take pictures as evidence.
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, but I also knew I wouldn’t let this happen.
I hid, tears in my eyes, and I knew I would get rev:enge.
I returned to the lobby, where the receptionist, who had witnessed my suffering, offered to help.
Together, we devised a master plan.
With a knowing look, she helped me into the private elevator, an unregistered elevator.
When they finally arrived, both of them, unsuspecting, entered the elevator and pressed the up button.
They had no idea I was there.
The elevator started moving.
As the elevator doors closed, I couldn’t help but smile, finally getting my revenge in a way that was so clever that even they couldn’t have foreseen it.
As they went up, I dropped a bag full of candy on the floor, giving them the wrong idea that something was wrong.
And while their minds were wandering, the elevator doors closed, not knowing that it was all over for them.
