Khalid was talking to himself, why did I do it? Five minutes of enjoyment had turned into something else for me. This Lady's demand is now becoming unbearable for me. What should I do?

A cell phone was ringing.

Hello, who am I speaking with? How may I help you? All at the same time. Said Khalid.

Roseline was furious. Hmm, I should be the one that should be telling you this shit that you are talking about. Look here, it is as if you don't know the consequences of what you have done. See if you don't want me to reveal what transpired between the two of us to your wife send $50,000 to my account now. I believe you still have my account details with you.

Hey, hey, hold on, please! The phone was hung up. And Khalid said to himself that at least should have listened to me first. Where do you want me to get such money? I don't have much on me again. I gave you $30,000 last week and you are still demanding another money now.

Honey, who are you talking to? What is the matter with you? Said Juliana, his wife.

Khalid replied nothing, I was having a business conversation with somebody. Don't worry about me, and everything will be fine.

The following day, Khalid was coming from the office and he met his wife's sibling at the entrance.

Welcome, Sir, you have a visitor that is waiting for you in the living room.

Khalid wondered. I did not expect anyone, who that person could be? Let me check it out first. Immediately, he set his feet in the living room. It was Roseline he saw sitting alone on the couch. He was shocked and his system has changed.

When Roseline observed that he had perplexed, she left his house and told him if you don't want the worst to happen do the necessary thing.

Juliana was talking from the kitchen, I will join you very soon ma. Please give me some minutes. And as she entered the living, she didn't meet Roseline again and turned to Khalid. Where is my visitor?

Khalid's eyes had changed to brown. Where did you know her? I told you to desist from having different friends. Even though I told you that you should not bring them into our home. Although, she has left.

Juliana was confused. Who said that she is my friend? I was busy in the laundry room, trying to wash your dirty clothes and she said you were her boss, that you were the one asking her to wait for you at home.

Alright, no problem but next time before you will believe such a thing, call to confirm from me first for security reasons. Please, I beg. Said Mr Khalid.

Khalid took action, and he disposed of his exotic car and applied for an overdraft from the financial institution to raise money to settle Roseline so that she would leave his family alone.

Meanwhile, after a month, at Khalid's office, the dispatcher dropped a brown envelope which contain a series of pictures of while he was making out and it was received by his secretary. As Khalid opened it, an anonymous call was picked up by Khalid and it was another threat from Roseline again. She requested another money if Khalid wanted everything to die down, he must pay $2,000,000.

What? I mean, what do you mean? Do you mean $200? Please go and do your worst, I don't have anything to give you again. Khalid replied.

After the closing hours, Khalid was sitting on the sofa in the living room, Juliana his wife sitting in front of him and she was telling him the outcome of what the doctor discussed with her when she went to Antenatal. As she was telling him, Khalid's phone squawked and beeped and a video of him that revealed his nakedness when he was making out with Roseline in a hotel room was sent to him. He excused himself from where his wife could notice and moved to another place to view the message very well.

Khalid exclaimed. Oh my God! My wife must not see this mother fucker, he picked up his cell phone and called. Hey, hello! hello!! Do you want to ruin my life? Please if I give you this money will you leave me alone? And I want you to delete all these files on your device immediately after you receive the alert from your bank, please!

The next day, he solicits financial assistance from his younger brother (Suraj) but he was curious to know what led Khalid to that level because the money is too exorbitant. When the pressure was too much, he confided in his younger brother.

Suraj was shocked. Wow! So this is what you have been hiding all this while. Tell your wife then, if you tell her by yourself it won't have meaning again if she hears it from another person.

Khalid yelled and said no, not in the present conditions she is. I love my wife and I don't want to hurt her, please. she is pregnant, can't you see?

Later, both of them planned for her. When she was about to pick up her ransom she was apprehended by the police officers who interrogated her. During the interrogation, she requested the presence of Khalid's wife before she could say anything. Police officers summoned Juliana to the police station.

On getting to the police station, Roseline confessed that it was Juliana's plan, (that is Khalid's wife) to set her husband up because Mr Khalid was the one who forced her to marry him not because she loved him. If you want to know that what I am saying is the truth, remove her clothes and you will see that there is no pregnancy there. Juliana used the pregnancy to penetrate Khalid so that she could perfect her trick to get a lot of cash from Khalid before flying out of the country. As she was talking, a female police officer approached Juliana and removed her clothes and it was discovered that what Roseline was saying was true. Roseline and Juliana were charged in court and they were sentenced to jail for conspiracy.

 The End

Oh, I didn't see it coming that Juliana and Roseline planned to scam Khalid. I'm quite confused by some lines, but I understood most of them. You have a good sense of a thrilling story. Good job!

A man that loves his wife will not fall prey of this kind of trick to start with. For me, the moral from the story is that most time, we are the very cause of our afflictions.

That's really twisted.
Such scheming to get back at Khalid.
