Before an unexpected discovery on a forgotten laptop, Ariana believed her life was perfect. However, what she uncovered at the Grandview Hotel shattered her world and inspired a clever plan for revenge. But could she really make it work? Here’s the story…

I stormed back to the lobby, my mind racing with the perfect revenge. With the receptionist’s sympathetic help, we crafted a cunning plan. I asked her to grant me access to their room using the excuse that my husband had left an urgent document inside. She hesitated at first but, after seeing the pain in my eyes, agreed.

With the key card in hand, I made my way back up, adrenaline coursing through me. I didn’t barge in right away, though. Instead, I quietly left his laptop outside the door with a note that read:

“Here’s your presentation. I hope she helps you present as well as she helps you cheat.”

Then, I went a step further. With the help of the hotel staff, I booked a meeting room right next to theirs, where I set up a live stream from the hallway security cameras. I sent a link to all our close friends and family, along with the caption:

“This is what loyalty looks like. Watch your favorites live from room 208.”

As people tuned in, I walked to the grand event hall downstairs, which was thankfully booked for a wedding. I politely borrowed the mic for a “special announcement.”

“Ladies and gentlemen,” I began, my voice trembling but steady. “Tonight is a celebration of truth. Let’s raise a toast to my husband and my best friend… currently celebrating their own ‘special event’ in room 208.”

Gasps filled the hall as murmurs erupted. I felt a strange mix of vindication and heartbreak. I ended my speech with a calm yet cutting:

“And to think I cooked carbonara for him tonight.”

As I left the venue, I felt lighter, empowered even. The livestream? It was a hit. Both their phones blew up with calls and messages. By the time they realized what had happened, their reputations were already in tatters.

The best part? I didn’t need to do anything else. My divorce lawyer said the photo and the public spectacle would work wonders for my case.

I may have lost a husband and a friend, but I regained my peace and dignity. And let’s just say, they learned the hard way that betrayal comes with consequences.
