Chapter 6 CH 6

"Sir, there's another mysterious letter," Mark, my assistant, said.

"Close the door." Mark hurriedly closed the door to my office and returned to stand beside me.

Over the past two weeks, I have received two mysterious letters. I do not know who sent them. At first, I ignored them, but the sender didn't give up and seemed to push me to find out the truth behind the clues they had left in the letters.

The letter stated that Lisa, my wife, was having an affair with many men. However, I struggled to believe it because I knew her daily schedule. Besides, my mother, Anne, lived with us. Our house was always busy, with Alice Walker, our teenage daughter, and several maids, gardeners, and even security guards. So, it is very unlikely that Lisa is having an affair.

However, the contents of the second letter shook my confidence. The sender asked me to go to a supermarket where my wife usually shops for groceries. However, the sender asked me to stay in the car and watch my wife. After that, the sender also asked me to call my wife while she was shopping.

It seemed like a simple request, but it shook my confidence.

"Do you believe the letter's contents, sir?" Mark asked.

"What do you think I should do?" To be honest, even though my confidence was shaken, I believed in Lisa. We had been married for thirteen years. During that time, she had been a good wife and mother.

When my mother lived with us, she was also a good daughter-in-law. My mother always praised her in front of me and in front of her friends.

Besides, I never restricted her. Since we got married, I gave her freedom, and I never limited her spending because she was quite thrifty and good at managing all the finances in our house.

"Sir, there's something I want to tell you. I was hesitant before, whether I should say it or not," Mark replied.

I turned and looked at Mark, who was acting unusually. His face looked troubled. "What is it? Tell me."

"I have heard rumors about an affair between a wealthy business owner's wife and several men. And this woman is quite famous among the bad boys. Many men line up to sleep with her, even if it's just for a short time. Even photos of her naked back are circulating in a special group for cheaters. This sounds crazy, and I don't expect you to believe me. However, no one knows the woman's identity except those who have slept with her. Those who have slept with her will never reveal her identity," Mark replied. His face looked nervous, and his fingers fidgeted.

"Did you join that group? Can you show me the photo of the woman's back?" At that moment, I felt uneasy. A little fear crept into my heart. I wasn't ready to face the truth.

Mark immediately took his phone out of his pants pocket. After searching for a moment, he finally showed me the group. My eyes widened and I could hardly believe what I was seeing.

The group was quite active. All the members were active except Mark. Then, Mark showed me the gallery containing photos of the woman's back, who was the darling of the rich and naughty men.

At first, I didn't recognize the photo, but when I enlarged it, my heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest. I recognized a small mole under the woman's neck.

At first glance, the photo was just a photo of a woman's naked upper back. However, when I looked more closely, she was completely naked. I saw a thin white cloth only covered her legs.

Instantly, my body felt weak. The mole couldn't be used as direct evidence to judge the woman who had been with me for thirteen years. There might be many women out there with the same shape and location of a mole as Lisa's.

"Mark."

"Yes, sir."

"Why did you join this group? Are you also part of these naughty men?"

Mark's eyes widened. He shook his head several times. "N-no, sir. I joined the group at the request of a friend. It's a long story."

"Okay."

"What's your plan?"

This curiosity was killing me. I had to confirm with my own eyes all the clues written in the secret letter.

I hurriedly stood up and got ready to leave. "Tell Jenna that if anyone looks for me, just say I'm busy with clients. Now come with me to the supermarket as written in that mysterious letter. Cancel today's work plans. Change everything to tomorrow."

Mark hurriedly conveyed my message to Jenna, my secretary. After that, we rushed to the supermarket in the city center. It was 2 p.m. on Wednesday. Usually, Lisa went shopping every Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. alone without a driver. In half an hour, I would know the truth behind the clues written in the mysterious letter.

Upon arriving at the supermarket parking lot, Mark saw Lisa's car parked near the online pickup spot. Finally, we parked near to Lisa's car. Mark deliberately borrowed Jenna's car to avoid suspicion.

From inside the car, I saw Lisa's car was empty. Maybe she was inside the supermarket. But the letter said Lisa was cheating at the supermarket. How could that be?

I called Lisa right away. After two rings, she answered the call. There was nothing unusual about her tone, and the background noise sounded like the usual sounds of a supermarket.

Could the mysterious letter just be a prank? But I waited and monitor things. After ending the call with Lisa, Mark and I waited in the car.

Fifteen minutes later, a black sedan pulled up and stopped right in front of Lisa's car. Lisa got out of the car and got into her car. However, she didn't leave the supermarket right away. Instead, she dried her hair and sprayed perfume on her neck and body.

Why Lisa? Why?

"Did you see the figure next to Lisa just now?" I asked Mark.

Mark was just as shocked as I was. Emotions slowly crept into my heart, even though my heart felt like it was being sliced by a knife bit by bit. The trust, love, and everything I had given her had been misused.

My life turned upside down in an instant. The image of a happy family that had been in my mind all this time was shattered in an instant.

"Sorry, sir. I didn't see it. But it was a man," Mark stammered.

"Do you remember the license plate number?" Mark nodded.

"Find out who owns that car."
