I stared at my phone, unable to stop staring at his name. Marco. The man I once loved more than anything. The man who betrayed me. It had been six months since he left me for someone else, and yet it felt like just yesterday that I was holding him in my arms, thinking we would build a future together. But now? Now, everything had changed.
I sat in my apartment, every inch of it a reminder of our time together. The picture frames, the small gifts he gave me—everything screamed his presence. The pain of his departure was still raw, and every time I thought about how easily he moved on, my chest tightened. He didn't even look back. He chose her, and that was something I could never accept.
The tears were gone. What remained was something farI spent hours each day plotting my revenge. I researched his business, his new relationships, and his daily routines. I knew where he went for coffee, who he met for lunch, and what time he left the office. I became obsessed with every detail of his life, and the more I learned, the more determined I became worse—rage. I wanted to destroy him. Not just for leaving me, but for the way he threw our love away. I wasn’t going to let him live his life without paying for what he did. He would feel the same pain I did. I would make sure of that.
I had no idea how I would do it yet, but I knew one thing for sure—Marco’s life was going to fall apart. One piece at a time. And I would be the one to pull the strings.
