Part 2After My Husband Cheated, I Booked Their Hotel Room And Filled Their “Body Oil” With Super Glue

I smiled as I teased her.

“Wow, Payne, you’re looking amazing! The collagen supplements are really doing their job. You’re a real stunner now.”

She blushed, playfully pushing my shoulder. “Oh, Godmother Cassie, you’re terrible!”

A sly grin flashed across her lips as she responded with pride, “Yeah, those supplements really work! Starlet-worthy, don’t you think?”

I nodded. She had the body men fawn over—the kind actresses on TV often flaunt.

Compared to her, all my years of Pilates felt like nothing.

“Let’s catch up over lunch sometime,” I suggested.

“Absolutely!” she chirped, clearly excited. She showered me with compliments about my taste in fashion, admiring my clothes and bags.

That’s when I noticed the sparkling Harry Winston ring on her finger and the luxury brands she was sporting.

Seems like she’d been doing quite well for herself lately.

“Godmother, you’re just getting more elegant with age. I bet Mr. Donovan loves you even more now. That’s the charm of a mature woman!”

Payne, the business major, was clearly a master of flattery. Her words were smooth and well-rehearsed.

Back home, I calmly threw out everything from Andy’s car and replaced it with fresh items.

Coincidentally, Andy came home late, claiming he had to work overtime.

When he saw the dinner I had prepared, he hugged me, grinning. “Cassie, you’re amazing. Thank you.”

His suit was spotless, and he had masked any suspicious odors with gum and cologne.

Honestly, I wanted to snap and ask, “Showered yet? Gotten rid of the stench?”

But I held back.

Years of working in corporate America had taught me the art of restraint.

I smiled and said, “Your package from the office is on the desk.”

“Thanks, hon.”

Later that night, he tried initiating intimacy. I pretended to be into it but could tell his enthusiasm was lacking.

Of course, after sneaking around, there wasn’t much left for me.

I told him I was tired and skipped it, scrolling through my phone instead.

He leaned in with a grin. “Want to rest your head on my shoulder?”

I stayed quiet, thinking to myself: I don’t want to lay my head where another woman’s legs have been.

“Oh, by the way,” I said, testing him, “I ran into Payne today. She wants to have lunch with us.”

“She’s really grown up, hasn’t she?”

Andy froze for a moment but quickly regained composure. “Yeah, I haven’t seen her in a while either.”

I closed my eyes. Let’s see how long this act can last.

The next day, I took the afternoon off, and Andy and I met Payne at a Texas BBQ Joint for lunch.

Payne showed up in a black, low-cut dress, her figure as striking as ever, contrasting sharply with the dark fabric, making her look even more stunning.

When we were ordering, Andy casually said, “Waiter, we’ll have the mild and spicy BBQ platter. Light on the spice for her, please.”

I caught the shift in his tone as Payne jumped in to explain, “Godmother Cassie, don’t misunderstand! I told Mr. Donovan I’m on my period.”

She smiled innocently, but her body language was anything but. Her necklace dipped suggestively between her breasts, the picture of temptation.

Andy, finally catching on to my expression, added quickly, “Yeah, Cassie, we shouldn’t go too spicy. Your stomach can’t handle it.”

Love or indifference—it’s easy to spot the difference in the little things.

That night, I pretended to get drunk. In truth, I poured most of the drinks into the trash.

Andy, thinking I was too tipsy to function, draped his jacket over me and escorted me up to a room at the hotel.

I lay awake all night, the faint scent of perfume on his jacket reminding me that he didn’t love me anymore.

The next morning, I lied about losing something in the car, asking the property manager to pull up the parking garage footage.

Sure enough, they had left together that morning.

Not only had they defiled my car, but they had taken their affair right into our home.

Without the security footage, I might have continued to believe Payne’s sweet demeanor and Andy’s deceitful charm.
