Unpredictable Betrayal : A Sweet of Revenge

“Which dress do you think I should wear tonight?” Aurora asked as she stood in front of the wardrobe after finishing her shower. Setting aside her ego, she intentionally sought Alex’s opinion to make him feel valued.

Anyway, before surprising him in a few hours, Aurora wanted to please her husband’s heart. She didn’t hesitate to act so affectionate and intimate.

“White, black, gold, or silver?”

Alex, already prepared and sitting on the edge of the bed, narrowed his eyes. Seriously considering, he weighed which color and style of dress would be suitable for his wife to wear tonight.

“Black seems to be the best option.”

“This one?” Aurora pointed to the dress in the front row.

“Yes. That one would look great on you. But, regardless of the color and style chosen, you always look beautiful, Aurora.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Aurora smiled. She picked up the black dress Alex chose, then continued to step forward. Approaching Alex, who was still sitting, looking at her.

“So, do you think I’m beautiful?”

Alex nodded in agreement. Alex never denied that Aurora was indeed very beautiful. Compared to Nicole, Aurora was much more beautiful. However, his wife wasn’t as sexy or as wild as her lover in bed.

“You’ve always been beautiful, Darling.”

Aurora moved closer. Closing the distance between herself and Alex, for the second time, she wrapped her arms around her husband’s neck.

“If I am beautiful, it means you won’t stray again, right?”

Alex looked up. He gazed at Aurora’s face intently, nodding assuredly.

“Of course. I promised not to waste the second chance you gave me. Now, my heart belongs only to you. And it will remain the same forever.”

Aurora smiled meaningfully. She cupped both of Alex’s cheeks to deliver a deep and lingering kiss on his lips. Alex even felt provoked. With such desire to devour, he kissed, and passionately embraced Aurora’s lips. For heaven’s sake, Aurora let Alex enjoy her lips. Consider it the last kiss before she sent her husband to hell.

“Thank you,” Aurora said after releasing their kiss. She wiped Alex’s wet lips while smiling mischievously. “I trust you won’t disappoint me for the second time. Because…”

“Because why?”

“Because if that happens again, you’ll know the consequences yourself.”

From his eyes, Aurora saw how Alex seemed to struggle to swallow his nerves. The expression that was once relaxed clearly turned more serious.

“Okay, I’ll get ready now.”

Alex nodded. Taking a deep breath. He even wiped the sweat that suddenly appeared on his forehead.

“Oh, by the way,” Alex said again as Aurora was applying makeup on her face. “Tomorrow night, we’re scheduled to visit Mom and Dad’s house. Are you okay with that?”

Aurora, who had finished, stood up. Turning around, she nodded, agreeing with Alex’s invitation. It seemed like a good idea to visit her in-laws’ house tomorrow.

“No problem.”

“In that case, I’ll pick you up right after work tomorrow.”

“Okay, agreed.”

After getting ready, Alex finally took Aurora to Wolfgang, the premium steak restaurant his wife desired. In the early days of their marriage, they often spent time there.

Alex thought, perhaps Aurora wanted to reminisce. He even felt that his wife seemed to slowly want to rekindle their once cold and bland relationship. Especially since earlier, Aurora had repeatedly teased him. If it weren’t for her period, for heaven’s sake, Alex would have dragged Aurora straight to bed.

Fortunately, the streets weren’t crowded and congested tonight. When they arrived at their destination, Alex immediately invited Aurora to get out of the car. He even intimately held his wife’s hand as they entered the restaurant.

Choosing a table in the rooftop area, Aurora and Alex sat facing the city view adorned with twinkling lights at night. They chatted for a while, reminiscing about the past before ordering their food.

“What do you want?”

“As usual,” Aurora replied. “My taste hasn’t changed since forever.”

Alex nodded understandingly. He ordered the food Aurora used to eat frequently. Fortunately, he didn’t forget.

Just after the waiters left, suddenly Alex’s phone rang, indicating an incoming call. He took it out of his pocket, then shortly his behavior seemed confused.

In her seat, Aurora was sure it was Nicole who was currently contacting Alex. She guessed that the damned woman had already arrived at the restaurant. Aurora felt like laughing. That’s why she intentionally made Alex more confused by speaking up.

“Sweetheart, why wasn’t the call picked up but instead rejected like that?”

Alex picked up his phone, intentionally showing Aurora who was calling. Clearly displayed on the phone screen was an unfamiliar number without a name.

“I don’t feel like it. Because I don’t know them,” Alex asserted immediately. “You know I don’t like answering phone numbers I don’t recognize.”

“I know. But, it called several times. Maybe it’s important.”

“If it’s important, they should WhatsApp first.”

Aurora nodded in response. Rising from her seat, she intentionally excused herself to go to the restroom. Of course, this was just a ruse. Standing somewhat distant and slightly hidden from the table she had reserved, Aurora observed Alex’s movements from afar. For some reason, she was certain that Alex and Nicole would meet tonight.

Meanwhile, Alex appeared restless in his seat. He wanted to curse Nicole for repeatedly calling while he was with Aurora.

“Alex!”
