Indeed, this is the moment she’ll exact vengeance on her spouse. A week ago, she overheard his conversation with his mistress, and that’s when her plan took shape…
Miranda called him early in the morning, apologized for the early call, and requested an audience. The owner agreed to listen to her. Mr. Miller was around 50 years old.
Not long ago, he had buried his wife, who died of a serious illness. He took over the publishing house after the death of his uncle and proved to be a good leader and a decent, fair person. Miranda.
Mr. Miller smiled. I’m so glad to see you. I must admit, I was very surprised when you called me.
What happened? Couldn’t you resolve it with your husband? After all, he’s an important person in our publishing house too. That’s the problem, he’s the most important, Miranda replied quietly. For many years, I didn’t realize that I was living with a monster.
And now I don’t know what to do. And she began her story. About her daughter, about Kevin’s attempt to put her on medication, about the apartment where her husband planned to live with his lover, her former friend.
As evidence, she played the recording on the dictaphone. Mr. Miller listened to Kevin’s shouts, the doctors confessing to their crimes, each in their own wrongdoing, and Ms. Caroline justifying her son. It’s horrifying, the owner of the publishing house shook his head.
I can’t believe that I’ve been working with such a person for so many years and never noticed what he’s truly like. Oh, no, Miranda sadly smiled. I lived under the same roof with him and didn’t notice anything myself.
I loved him and believed him. Here’s what we’ll do, Miranda. I will provide the money for your daughter’s treatment from my personal funds, and don’t argue with me.
It will be like a sponsorship, philanthropy. It even benefits me as a businessman. But something needs to be done about Kevin.
It’s clear that he won’t be working for me anymore. Miranda, I suggest writing a statement to the police against him and his mother. Let the doctors and everyone involved in these crimes be held accountable.
Mr. Miller, honestly, I don’t want any investigations. It would be enough for Kevin to disappear from my life along with his mother, but you’re probably right. We can’t avoid involving the police.
Although I don’t want all this fuss either, the owner supported her, after all, our publishing house will be dragged through all the channels. And it’s bad publicity in this case. You know what? Leave your dictaphone with me and wait for me in the conference room.
My secretary will call you. Miranda left the owner’s office and as she entered the conference room, she saw Kevin and Andrea together, walking arm in arm and chatting happily. Kevin appeared confident in his impunity.
They noticed Miranda too. Her husband started heading towards her, but he was called by Gloria, Mr. Miller’s secretary. However, Andrea, lifting her head, walked straight towards Miranda, smirking at her former friend.
So, what detective story did you come up with?, she laughed as she entered the conference room. Ah, so you’re already in the know. Miranda looked into the eyes of her former friend.
Of course, I have no secrets from Kevin. So, you also know that my daughter is alive. And I knew, Andrea smirked.
I’ve been aware from the beginning. How? Miranda exclaimed. You knew and you kept quiet? Why should I go against the person I love? And why would he want a disabled child? So, you’re saying you’ve been sleeping with my husband for a long time? Miranda, you’re such a naive fool.
It’s almost pitiful to look at you, Andrea laughed. I slept with Kevin even before you. Then he chose you, yes, I won’t deny it was hurtful, but I pretended not to care.
And then you had that stupid pregnancy and ended up in the hospital. And Kevin, a young, healthy man, well, it all started again. And it hasn’t stopped since then.
Stupid pregnancy, you say, Miranda said angrily. You’ve scraped up all your youth, now you won’t have any left. Oh, who’s talking? And what about you? Better? You gave birth to some frog and now you’re running around, asserting your rights.
You should have kept quiet and been grateful that Kevin didn’t leave you and supported you all these years. My goodness. I was friends with this person for so many years.
Miranda looked at Andrea in disbelief. I can’t believe what you’ve become. What have I become? Mean, malicious, and vile.
I don’t care what you think of me. Andrea proudly lifted her head. I will be with Kevin now, for sure.
To hell with your apartment, we’ll buy our own. We’ll see about that. No, do you really think that Kevin will succumb to your threats? Andrea laughed and waved her hand…
