Husband went on vacation with his mistress – but his wife already knew about it… He didn’t expect SUCH a surprise!…
Our modern life story revolves around complicated family ties that might suddenly devolve into treachery and dishonesty.
Victor, the protagonist, is getting ready for a much-anticipated trip overseas with his mistress. Furthermore, he is certain that his wife is not aware of his secrets. But beneath his wife Clara’s outward composure lurk suspicions and a well-thought-out plan of retaliation.
She resolves to take matters into her own hands after growing weary of her husband’s deceit and falsehoods.
Clara has been playing a spy game for a long time, and it is almost over, with the potential to destroy the illusion of a happy family. Which will prevail in this game of espionage—the self-assured and independent husband or the unsophisticated simpleton wife? Victor had been quite happy today.
At last, he would get a week to spend with his beloved Lucy. There would be no more need to pretend at work that their only connection was professional, hide in leased flats, and text covertly like schoolchildren.
The long-awaited key to the long-awaited holiday with his beloved girlfriend was already in his car: a Hawaii certificate for two.
Additionally, a fictitious document titled “Business Trip Authorization to Miami,” which purportedly dealt with his handling of the company’s acquisition of new equipment, was found in his wife’s briefcase.
Victor returned home as normal in the evening. He checked his daughter’s diary, kissed his wife Clara, and ate supper with the family—with a very excellent appetite, at that—without displaying any signs of enthusiasm.
Every element had been meticulously considered, and everything was proceeding as planned. He jokingly remarked, “Tomorrow I’m leaving for a week,” as he hugged his wife before going to bed.
Will I be missed?”Of course, I will,” Clara said, stifling a little suspicion that would periodically creep into her thoughts. And this time, where are you heading?She asked quietly, even though she was fully aware that the response would be typical. “Oh, not far to Miami,” Victor said apathetically.
I have to go since the company opted to replace the equipment. Despite having no proof, Clara had long assumed that her husband had a mistress.
All of her guesses were still simply sensations. She closely observed his actions, searching for the smallest indications of adultery, but he always deftly covered them up.
Victor was wary, and she knew it would be troublesome to expose him. But something about this story regarding the business trip to Miami seemed strange to her feminine instincts.
All of this had long since turned into a spy game for Clara, where she would gather bits of information and piece them together to create a single image. Initially, these were oblique hints, unexpected business travel, odd phone conversations, or a marked shift in her husband’s conduct.
However, she at last discovered evidence of his adultery today. As had become her custom, Clara walked down to the garage to check her husband’s car and belongings late at night, while Victor was already sound asleep.
And finally, good fortune! She discovered the coupon with the names of Lucy Vargas and Victor Thompson inscribed in black and white.
Now that she had proof of adultery in her possession, everything came together. Her Victor had erred greatly in leaving such a crucial paper out in the open.
Clara barely suppressed a sarcastic smirk as she smirked to herself in the morning while her husband was already preparing for the business trip. Now, his most recent fib appeared both absurd and humorous.
Additionally, what changes do you intend to make to the production?She looked at her husband and questioned in a slightly annoyed manner.
“We’re starting a new workshop,” Victor said stoically. We will now print several pictures on T-shirts. Let’s say I make one with your picture and wear it to keep you by my side at all times.
“Yeah, right,” Clara said stoically, but she was practically giggling. She thought, “The cunning cheater, he’ll wear my photo.”
She already had a well-defined plan for retaliation in her mind, and now she was certain that all of his “business trips” would soon come to a stop.
Victor owned a huge advertising agency and frequently traveled across the nation for work.
He had started taking business trips, which was a constant source of suspicion for Clara. He had only been home three times a week lately.
Despite the fact that the family had little and the firm was profitable, Clara had long realized that money could not make up for deceit and treachery. Her primary barrier to divorce up until this point had been financial ease, but she suddenly realized that her patience had run out.
The moment has come to end this double life. The plan of retaliation that had been developing in her mind was going to be a complete disaster for Victor, not merely a reaction to his adultery.
Clara had considered finding a boyfriend for a long time, but she had always put it off. The prenuptial agreement they had signed prior to the wedding was the cause.
A modest provision in this deal, which was created by Victor’s lifelong friend and lawyer Ethan, stated that either spouse would forfeit any jointly obtained property in the divorce if they were found to have cheated.
Clara signed this contract ten years ago without considering the repercussions because she was a gullible, infatuated idiot. However, Victor was already shrewd and strategic at that time. He was fully aware that this deal might eventually work in his favor.
And he only agreed to these terms at the urging of Clara’s parents, who provided him with funding for company expansion.
This document was now preventing their marriage from ending. Clara would lose everything in the event of a divorce, including their home, business, money, and all they had worked so hard to build over the years. Did she adore Victor, though?..
This was a question that Clara herself had long been unable to answer. She might have had feelings for him once, right at the start of their relationship.
However, at the time, she was more drawn to the prospect of leaving her parents’ wing, becoming pregnant, and at last beginning a new life. The sole bright spot in this tale was their young daughter Sophia.
To tell the truth, Victor practically blew dust off his daughter because he loved her so much. He was a devoted and kind parent. His greatest source of happiness in life was Sophia. However, things with Clara started to deteriorate over time.
Once a true gem, that young, attractive girl has now devolved into a dull aspect of Victor’s existence. When she was younger, her slim model shape, elegant facial features, and expressive blue eyes made her seem like a lovely toy to him.
Being pleased that many found her attractive, he enjoyed taking her to social gatherings. However, this admiration eventually gave way to apathy.
Victor, who had become weary of the monotony and routine of the home, turned to other women for comfort. One of them turned into Lucy. As their marriage crumbled, Clara made an effort to maintain decorum and harmony in the home. for their daughter’s benefit.
With the discovered two-for-one certificate, however, a strategy for escaping this trap without losing everything started to take shape in her mind.
Being the center of attention was something Victor always enjoyed. His craving for admiration from others only served to boost his ego. He got himself an expensive sports automobile that loudly declared his status, and he always wore bright, stylish attire that drew attention from others.
Victor made an effort to associate with like-minded individuals who were prosperous, successful, and powerful.
However, he displayed his social and economic supremacy by humiliating anyone who didn’t live up to his standards. Victor worked really hard at the same time, giving business development his whole being.
His advertising business was flourishing, and his clientele increased annually.
His personal secretary-assistant, Lucy, was a major character in this tale. Her looks was a bigger factor in Victor’s decision to hire her five years ago than her qualifications.
She did mediocre job, but she wasn’t particularly bothered by it. Lucy had one thing that could make up for her professional failings: she had no morals at all.
She was willing to do a lot for money, and Victor saw this trait right away and took advantage of it. The company greatly expanded its huge contracts with her assistance.
Victor had no idea how Lucy had obtained these contracts, but he was able to make educated guesses. She always got her way as a lady.
Lucy had the smoldering look of a brunette, a pale Mediterranean tan that made her look like a mulatto movie star.
She used her attractiveness to further her own goals and wasn’t afraid to drive men wild. As a result, Lucy received the highest salary in Victor’s business. The fact that he was married and had a daughter didn’t bother her in the least.
However, Lucy did not take Clara’s place since she was more concerned with her own independence. She also didn’t want to commit to a marriage or other responsibilities.
In spite of this, though, she had her own loyalties to Victor. He did, after all, save her mother once by covering an emergency surgery that Lucy was unable to pay for.
Her attitude toward him was significantly impacted by this. Perhaps she even loved him in her own way—not as a man, but as a boss she was appreciative of.
And Lucy was ecstatic now that their Hawaiian vacation was so close. She had always wished to go somewhere overseas where she could live in luxury and forget about her daily concerns.
Victor turned became her pass to a universe in which she could have it all at once. Lucy remained with Victor in spite of her ambition and love of luxury.
The only thing preventing her from moving on to someone with more financial options was her emotional bond to him. However, she was partially responsible for Victor’s rapid wealth growth.
Lucy was crucial to his success because she understood how to control circumstances and seal lucrative deals. Lucy booked a cab in the morning and took her already-packed bag to the airport, where Victor was supposed to be waiting for her.
She was looking forward to what she hoped would be a bright and exciting shared holiday. They were going to spend a week away from all problems that would never be forgotten.
Victor, meantime, was in a cheerful mood after saying farewell to his wife with a kiss. He was certain that all was well and that he was looking forward to a week of delights with Lucy.
But this time, he was alerted by something in Clara’s actions. Instead of saying “have a good day, dear,” as she usually does, she appeared cold and distant today.
She simply remained silent while giving him a peculiar, even suspicious look as she left. Victor was even a little offended by this, but he dismissed the idea right away.
Clara had known for a long time that Victor was unfaithful to her, but she decided it was all in his head. Now, however, she had concrete proof.
And deep inside she was prepared to take decisive action. She always knew how to delve deeper and look for the truth because she was a journalist by trade.
And now she had a gut feeling that the time for the truth was almost here. However, she never made money from this labor.
She pursued journalism more for her own enjoyment because her spouse supported her and the family completely. She worked for one of the fashion publications as a freelance correspondent.
And even though she didn’t publish very often, it made her feel important and free. Her life became more colorful and she felt needed because of journalism.
Doing what she truly enjoyed. It was more than simply a profession to her; it was a form of self-expression and a challenge to both society and herself. Clara was aware that she was about to face a challenging trial. However, she was prepared for it.
A full plot was already taking shape in her mind, and Victor had no idea that his ideal work trip might turn out to be the start of the end.
Clara was filled with sadness and rage when Victor went, leaving her alone. The vacation to Hawaii with his mistress was the final straw for her, who had long since lost any genuine affection for him. But the retaliation she meticulously cultivated and deliberated over was not an impulsive choice.
She was going to make this intricate plan a reality. One of the main components of her strategy was Ethan, Victor’s lifelong buddy who had recently developed a deep animosity toward him.
Growing up together, Ethan and Victor’s connection looked indestructible at one point. But after Victor became a prosperous and successful businessman, their relationship started to deteriorate.
Ethan, who works as a lawyer, had been having a tough time lately. After losing a string of cases, he found himself in financial trouble and turned to Victor for assistance when he desperately needed money for office rent.
However, Victor turned him down with blatant cynicism, saying that he couldn’t afford to spend all of his money on such pointless frivolities because it was all invested in the company.
The remarks were delivered with such arrogance and scorn that Ethan barely refrained himself from hitting his erstwhile friend straight in the face.
However, he simply turned around and walked away without even saying farewell to Victor’s hand. He still harbored a deep-seated resentment toward Victor.
Ethan and Clara had been friends for a long time, and in recent months, they had communicated particularly frequently. She was aware of his and Victor’s arguments, which played a significant role in her plan of retaliation.
Ethan was the guy who knew all of Victor’s weak areas, both in personal life and in work. For a long time, Clara had wanted to talk to him about how she could make the situation work in her favor.
She realized that with his assistance, she could not only ruin Victor’s fictitious well-being but also end the marriage amicably and keep all of the assets they had acquired together. Now that Victor was far away, she started working on her revenge plot.
Although she was fully aware that Victor had cheated on her multiple times, the vacation with Lucy served as the impetus for her decision.
Clara was determined to take advantage of the opportunity to get retribution, which Victor himself had set up.
And so Clara sent her husband off on his business trip, sent her daughter Sophia to school, and promptly picked up the phone, and the first call was to Ethan. “Hello, Ethan!Without needless formality, she started.
Is your desire to exact revenge on Victor for that humiliation still present?”I certainly do! I can still see his arrogant face!Ethan answered, his annoyance evident. Fantastic! Then pick up our prenuptial agreement.
Additionally, get the divorce paperwork ready. And is there a reason already?Ethan inquired curiously. “It will happen in a few days.
He just went on vacation with his mistress today. All right, Clara. But you realize that I can’t make the case without concrete proof.
There will be proof soon. Do not be concerned!Clara spoke with assurance. “All right…
Then I’m excitedly awaiting!” Ethan replied, clearly anticipating a very interesting development of events. Clara did the following action as soon as Ethan hung up. She called a well-known photographer from the magazine she worked for as a freelancer.
“Hello, Arthur! How about a complimentary trip to the Pacific Ocean for three days?She smiled mischievously as she inquired. “Hello, Clara! Sounds really enticing!Arthur answered curiously.
But not for nothing, based on your tone?”Obviously, not for nothing. It will take some effort. It’s all in your profile!” Clara explained.
“I’m always prepared!The photographer excitedly answered. My spouse will not be alone at the hotel, which I will tell you the name of. If you understand, I need pictures and, ideally, as many spicy details as I can.” “Easy!Without hesitation, Arthur nodded his agreement.
And you’re going to email them to me?”Well, you understand. Clara, it’s by the rate for that!Everything is proceeding as planned. Clara merely grinned.
The only thing left to do was wait, and Clara was not let down by the wait. After two days, she received an email with pictures she had always desired.
In the pictures, her husband Victor gave Lucy a passionate kiss. Other pictures showed them sitting in a bar, grinning broadly and obviously enjoying each other’s company.
Clara was given an entire bundle of these photos. “More than sufficient evidence of infidelity.” She sent Ethan all the pictures right away, saving time. How do you enjoy this dirt, Ethan? Will it work?She inquired with icy assurance.
Ethan said, happy with the outcome, “More than enough.” As per your prenuptial agreement, you will immediately become the owner of Victor’s business and all of his possessions, including the vehicle, following the divorce.
All of this will soon be yours if you file for divorce right away. I’ll see to it that the case is handled efficiently and promptly.
Clara was obviously happy. Everything was going as she had planned. Victor was having a great time on vacation with Lucy and had no suspicions. The sea, discos, strolls in the evening, and passionate evenings…
All of this made them feel as though they were in heaven. They forgot about everything and relaxed totally. However, everything worthwhile eventually comes to an end.
Victor had already started mentally readjusting to reality as their holiday was about to come to an end the next day.
He was frozen in shock as his phone vibrated out of the blue and he saw a message. “In connection with the upcoming divorce, all your assets are frozen.”
Victor looked at the phone screen in confusion, unsure of what to respond. That was the brief line in the message. He found it difficult to accept what was taking place.
In a moment, his entire world seemed to fall apart. Lucy glanced over his shoulder and saw his anxious face. “Dear, what is it?Seeing the message, she inquired. When Victor finally realized what had transpired, he muttered, “My wife’s schemes.”
His mind then shifted to the prenuptial agreement he had signed years prior, which he had not given much thought to at the time.
This simpleton woman, my god. She outwitted him. Victor realized now that there would be more than simply a disagreeable conversation when he got home.
All the issues were just getting started, and his life was changing quickly. The first thing Victor saw on his return home were vacation pictures, arranged neatly on the coffee table.
His wife was studying the photos intently while seated on the couch. A picture of him kissing Lucy passionately against a background of beautiful palms was in her hands.
The husband became panicked when he realized everything was out in the open. He tried to give his voice its typical tone as he entered the room and said, “Hello, dear.” Hello.
How is the new apparatus doing? Working already?Clara asked without looking away from the picture.
Victor believed that lying any longer made no sense, as though nothing had occurred. With a heavy sigh, he collected his thoughts and murmured, “I apologize; I was mistaken. All he could manage was, “I lied to you.”
There was no longer any confidence in his voice, and it was feeble. Clara calmly said, “Oh, come on,” putting down the picture and meeting his gaze. “I don’t take offense. Do you know why? Since I am now my own boss…
And you’re back to nothing.” Her words made Victor feel as though his entire universe was collapsing. He was used to being in the lead all the time, so it was a shock to be in the losing position. “By the way, sweetheart,” Clara said.
Her voice grew icier. You will only be permitted to see our daughter on the weekends following our divorce. I’ve already informed her of your treachery. And what do you know? She isn’t very interested in seeing you.
Victor was more affected by his wife’s final remarks than anything else. He loved his daughter Sophia, after all. And it was just too much to bear that she would turn her back on him. Victor realized that things would never be the same in his life.
Victor acknowledged that his well-thought-out spy game had backfired when all the cards were exposed.
Like a house of cards, the illusion of control fell apart. Clara was already carrying out her strategy with the dexterity of a shrewd tactician while he was having his romantic adventures.
Unexpected but inevitable, the wife’s retaliation made the husband acknowledge that he was merely a pawn in someone else’s scheme.
Cold-blooded and self-assured, Clara got exactly what she desired. And more importantly, the chance to make the last point on her terms. The adage “don’t rush revenge” is accurate. Retaliation is, after all, best enjoyed cold.
