Charles wrote, “Karma is a bitch. Don’t ever think about getting away, Samuel!”

Samuel fumed at the message and typed, “Charles, mark my words, you’ll pay for this!”

But as he tapped away on his phone, he was met with a notification. “You are no longer friends with the other party.” He’d been blocked!

Samuel’s anger twisted his face even more. One day, he’d have Charles and Skylar groveling at his feet, begging for forgiveness!

Skylar was lounging on her bed and managing Amazon orders when Natalie’s call came through.

“Hey there, trophy wife! What’s got you calling me today?” Skylar asked.

“My husband’s busy today. I’m alone in this empty villa, feeling lonely and bored. Skye, I’m thinking of having a baby,” Natalie said, caressing her flat belly.

They hadn’t been taking precautions recently. There might be a little one on the way already. If so, she

wouldn’t have time for idle thoughts.

Skylar was slightly surprised, “Is Jeremy busy even on Saturdays?” Speaking of Jeremy’s workload, it seemed Joe hadn’t returned either.

“He’s probably caught up in some tough project lately, and he’s really dedicated to it. But I don’t know, maybe because I’m always home, I feel like he’s not as attentive as before,” Natalie admitted, her insecurity evident.

Skylar suggested, “Why not consider replaceing some work yourself?”

“I want to, but Jeremy and my mother–in–law won’t allow it. She wants me to take care of Jeremy at home. My own mom isn’t too thrilled about the idea either.” Natalie sighed.

“They’re all pushing me to have a baby, and I’m gearing up for it. Maybe we’ll have some good news soon.” Her mom believed having a child would bring fulfillment to every day. Jeremy had even mentioned wanting three kids in the future.

Skylar sensed Natalie wasn’t quite herself and asked, “Have you talked to Jeremy?”

“I’ve been meaning to discuss replaceing work with him, but he’s been too busy lately. He’s often on business trips. He’s only been home for seven or eight days this month.” Natalie sighed heavily.

She felt like the once lively Natalie was slowly morphing into a resentful woman with no aspirations.

“Oh, Jeremy’s back! Skye, let’s catch up later!” Natalie hung up and ran downstairs.

“Honey!” She rushed into Jeremy’s arms.

Jeremy stiffened slightly when he hugged Natalie. He then gently asked, “You haven’t slept yet?”

“I couldn’t. I was waiting for you to be back. We haven’t seen each other for days,” Natalie said adorably. Suddenly, she froze and sniffed Charles vigorously. “Do you have another woman, Jeremy?”

Jeremy’s expression tensed. “What nonsense is this?”

“You smell of a perfume that I used before. You said you didn’t like it, so I stopped using it. Jeremy, you know I have OCD. I won’t forgive you if you mess around with other women!” Natalie said angrily, her eyes

red.

Jeremy’s eyes deepened, his tone tinged with helplessness. “I had a dinner tonight. Maybe someone wearing that perfume accidentally brushed against me. Nath, you’ve been off lately.”

Natalie suddenly felt deflated. “I’m sorry. I overreacted.

“Let’s plan a trip in a few days, just to unwind,” Jeremy suggested.

“Promise this time you won’t bail on me.”

On Sunday, Skylar arrived at the restaurant following the address sent by Annie.
