TRAPPED IN A DARK ROMANCE

Chapter 7: A Bad Step

I got all dressed up, and went out, we met at the restaurant and wow, how fresh and handsome Christian was.

- Hi Melania, you look great

- Thank you, you look great too

- Thank you, you make me want to relive what happened the last time you and I met

- See? You're already doing it again

- It's okay, I'm just teasing you. Waitress!

And we had placed our orders, we had eaten pretty well, chatted well, I was surprised to realize that he really didn't have any obscene ideas in the back of his head, he was telling me about his fiancée and everything... it was nice.

After a long time...

- And you, your husband, how is he? What are you waiting for to make a child?

- We are not in a hurry. We're taking it easy, and especially since children can sometimes cause headaches, we're waiting until we're psychologically ready.

- Ok Melania, it was a nice moment, but now I have to go, can I walk you home?

- With pleasure He had paid the bill and we got into his car to go home. Once in his car...

-Christian: I really liked it, you are always so beautiful and pleasant, you see that finally I didn't do anything wrong.

- Yes, and I'm even surprised.

-Christian: Am I to understand that you expected me to do something?

- That's not what I said, but I'm just surprised.

-Christian: What if I told you that finally I feel like I'm going to do something wrong anyway?

I hadn't answered him, we were looking straight at each other, and... he kissed me.

And yes I let him do it, it's just that the conditions were too favourable, we had just spent a great time, he was beautiful, his look was piercing me, and also with the influence of my friend Nathalia's words, and John's suspicious behaviours, I asked myself "what if I also played a little bit more?"

So here it is, it started with a kiss in his car, it continued with a hot romp in a hotel room that we walked around, and it ended in bed, snuggled up against each other.

I regretted it, but at the same time I liked it.

- You and I are monsters.

- Why do you say that?

-ME: I'm married and you have a fiancée, and look what we just did.

- Pff, I guess you were right after all, with both of us having a drink is the same as having s*x afterwards.

- Don't you feel guilty about your fiancée?

- I wouldn't say no, but I loved it and I'd be lying to you if I told you I didn't want to do it yet

- I still want it too.

And we had made love one last time before leaving the hotel. You see, this is really a

consequence of having exes, in fact every ex you accumulate is a potential danger to your future relationship.

That's why I'm honestly sorry but we have to stop being hypocrites by trying to make these stories of "staying friends" after the breakup, staying on good terms yes, but not staying friends.

If you were that good you wouldn't have broken up, so if it didn't work out, cut all ties, because two people who once slept together, let them stay close to each other and surely they will sleep together again, don't underestimate the power of s*x, it is much stronger than you think.

If you decide to break up with someone, let it be on all fronts, that's it.

Back to the story, Christian and I were leaving the hotel. As we were leaving the hotel unfortunately we ran into the last person I would have liked to see.

We were leaving the hotel, Christian was holding my hand, and then I suddenly heard him shout.

- Hey, Charles! My man!

- Hey Christian my brother, what are you doing here around? And I see you have company...

Until then I hadn't seen who it was, and the name Charles hadn't even caught my attention, it wasn't until the person in question came closer that I then saw, Charles, my brother-in-law, John's little brother.

He recognized me as well but he pretended that he didn't know me, he even showed a small petty smile, because he knew it, he knew that he had just obtained a means of pressure on me, what the hell had taken me to do all that?

Now here was Charles; this pervert who was my husband's little brother, who had just seen me leaving a hotel hand in hand with another man, it was welcome to be blackmailed now.

I was ashamed, but because of Christian, who was still holding my hand, I made an effort to remain normal as if nothing had happened.

- You are with a beautiful lady there, I guess you just...

- my brother calm down, ha haha, is that how we talk about it?

- Aren't you going to introduce me to her?

- Oh, Charles, this is Melania, Melania this is Charles.

- Nice to meet you, you look very nice.

-ME: Thank you, nice to meet you too.

- Buddy, it was nice to see you but I need to take this bombshell home, we can set up a meeting one of these days to have a good chat, what do you think?

- No worries brother, see you around

Christian and I got into the car, I was very pale.

- Tell me, where do you know this guy from?

- Him? We run some business together, we haven't even known each other that long.

- And what kind of business?

- Why so many questions all at once?

- Nothing, I was just asking to make conversation.

- Okay. But you know if you need to make conversation, let's talk about the hot time we just had in that hotel room...

- Christian, I'd just like to go home now, please.

- As you wish...

He had brought me back, and had left me in front of my gate. He even wanted to kiss me again before I got out of the car, but I pushed him away and got out.

When I got inside the house, I was all panicked and like crazy.With what Charles knew about me I was in danger, my marriage was in danger.

I had suspected John since the day before, but it was me who had ended up doing something stupid, if only I hadn't talked with my friend Nathalia all this wouldn't have happened.

While I was thinking, John called me.

- Hello honey; please there is a document at home that I need here at the office, it's in a green folder on the table in the room. How soon do you think you can get here?

- Uh... an hour, in an hour I'll be there

- Okay honey, please don't be late.

- Okay.

I had cleaned myself up and hurried to John's office, feeling so guilty that I didn't have time to think about John's strange behavior since yesterday.

When I arrived at the entrance, I was directed to the area where his office was located, and once there, his secretary was to announce me.

Until now I had never been to John's office, and I had never seen his secretary with my own eyes, I was finally going to be able to put a face on this famous Samantha.

When I arrived at the place I had been told, I met a woman, I must admit, very pretty and sexy.

At first sight she was staring at me, it seemed like she knew me and already had a grudge against me, while I did not know her.

- Hello, I'm here to see Mr. John, I'm his wife and I'm here to bring him some documents

- Yes... I know you are his wife...

She said in a tone that expressed a little "yes we know, and you want to show us what?".

She then took the phone and announced

- Hello sir, your wife is here... Okay... Uh ma'am he asked you to wait a little, he's finishing a very important meeting.

- Okay.

So John was rushing me out of the house to come and make me wait again? In any case, what was I going to do? I sat down and waited patiently.

Almost 30 minutes had passed and I thought it was too much. I was already upset, because I saw it as a lack of consideration on John's part to make me wait like that, as if I were a common visitor.

So just as I was about to hand the file to the secretary, so that she could stay and give it to her later, the office door opened, some men came out, and then John came and invited me in.

- Sorry honey, the meeting went longer than expected, come on in.

Once inside...

- Thank you for coming so quickly.

- Yeah, even though you kept me waiting afterwards.

- Sorry, baby.

- So, out there, is that her?

- Her? Her who?

- That Samantha.

- Oh honey... you're not going to come here and throw a fit.

- I didn't say I was going to do one, just answer me, is she Samantha? Because when I came in she looked at me in a way I didn't like at all

- Well no it's not, Samantha had to take a week off work starting today, to mourn her mother who died this morning in a traffic accident, is that okay?

-ME: I, I didn't know.

- I didn't know you could be so jealous either, as if I ever gave you a reason to doubt me. Because I know you're not so much interested in her as in whether I'm having s*x with her, right?

- It's okay honey, excuse me please.

- Listen, I'm going to drop this file off at the department that needs it and I'll be back so we can go home together. My work day is over, just give me a few minutes.

- Okay honey I'll wait for you.

As I stood in his office, I looked around and realized that he had a picture of our wedding in his office, which is probably how the lady at the door knew I was his wife.

Speaking of that woman, as I was standing there observing my husband's office, she entered the office to drop off a document and once again I was met with a look of disdain.

I didn't understand what this woman had against me.

- But Miss, you...

- It's Madam, you're not the only one who's married...

- Miss or Mrs. whatever, can I ask what exactly is your problem with me? You've been staring at me ever since I got here, what's your problem?

- My problem? I don't have a problem, you do, you have a short memory.

- What do you mean?

- Poor woman, having played with so many boys in your life you've even lost your memory. But don't worry, one day you'll know who I am...

With these words, she left, jostling me by the shoulder. But what was this story exactly? And where did she know or where did she fit in when she talked about the fact that I had dated several boys in the past?

While I was thinking about who this woman could be, John came back and we went inside. So confused and wanting to keep the situation to myself to better understand it, I didn't tell John.

Besides, I already had a bigger problem with John, namely his little brother, who had seen me leaving the hotel with Christian...
