Looking at Lois, still putting on her little performance, I cut straight through her lies.
"Did you not notice the kid isn't home? I dropped him off at your mother's yesterday. You didn't see him?"
Lois's expression froze. "I didn't know how to explain things to my family, but my dad's health problems are real. He can't handle stress. That's why I didn't dare go home in the middle of the night."
She added with a hint of reproach, "You know his health is bad. How could you drop the child off there in the middle of the night?"
I stared at her. "Think before you speak. You're the one who cheated. Your affair is the reason I had to bring the child over in the first place. You're the one who caused your father's stress."
"What, did you think your father would be fine with it when you were cheating?"
"I didn't cheat." Lois cried harder. "You can't accuse me of something I didn't do."
"Whether it's a false accusation or not, you know the truth. You have three days to think it over. If you won't agree to a mutual divorce, I'll file a lawsuit."
"And pack your things today and get out. The sight of you makes me sick."
I stood and left without acknowledging her tears. I had more important things to do today.
Owen Black. Master's degree from overseas. Planning director at Starfall Media Group.
The man who'd been sleeping with my wife. Today, I was going to pay him a visit.
Neither half of that cheating pair deserved to walk away unscathed.
Getting a meeting with such a busy man required an appointment. I had the receptionist contact him using only my name, and he agreed to see me immediately.
In Owen Black's office, I looked at him. "Do I need to introduce myself?"
"Anyone who doesn't know Luminos Culture Group has a legendary operations director named Logan Dickerson doesn't deserve to be in this industry."
Owen extended his hand. "Director Dickerson, I hope you're here to discuss a partnership."
I didn't take it. "Can't you sense why I'm here?"
Owen gave an awkward laugh. "A man of Director Dickerson's status and standing certainly doesn't lack for female company. Is this really necessary?"
"Then let me have a go with your wife."
Owen's face darkened. He leaned back in his chair. "Going after a married woman is immoral. I'll own that."
He narrowed his eyes at me. "But is it illegal?"
