I lied a bit.
My company was in danger.
An out–of–town company came to town and
attacked.
At the meeting, I pretended to be stressed.
“Even though they’re not clear, we can’t give
up.”
“If we lose, everyone loses.”
The shareholders looked gloomy, but Mark
looked happy.
く
Like a wolf in the dark, smelling blood.
That night, Mark came home late.
Mark’s mom’s light was on all night.
They had an amazing fantasy.
That was great.
The next day, Mark kicked open my office
door.
He set a divorce paper on my desk, looking
smug.
“Lisa, we’re over.”
He smirked, disgusted.
“You know how disgusted I was?”
“You can’t give a man what he needs!”
“Give me all the money you have!”
I laughed.
“After being a dog for so long, you grew a spine?”
His eyes flashed with rage.
く
“Dog? I was using you!”
“I’ve never loved you.’
“Amy is my daughter!”
“You didn’t know anything!”
“Sign the papers, we’re done!”
I smiled.
I pulled out pictures of his meetings with
some CEO, and played the recording on my phone.
“Mr. Smith, I know all her secrets, give me

two million dollars.”
“Yes, you can beat her!”
As his face turned white, I stood up.
“Selling company secrets, a huge financial
crime, you’re going to prison for seven years.”
“Oh, and remember that law student in
college, he’s now the best lawyer, and a
friend.”
“I’ll help you.”
He couldn’t divorce me, he just wanted a way
to get rich.
く
He didn’t know he was being watched,
everything he’s done has been recorded.
And that rival company was just a show.
His greed made him fall.
