Chapter 10 A Birthday to Remember

Calloway thought she had the perfect life: a successful career, a beautiful home, and a seemingly devoted husband. But when she discovers that her husband, Mark, has been having an affair, her world begins to unravel. What hurts more than the betrayal is his casual denial, his refusal to acknowledge the life they built, now crumbling because of a woman named Tessa. But Vanessa doesn't scream. She doesn't cry. She plans. Driven by pain but cloaked in composure, she makes a bold move - she secretly rents the apartment next to Tessa, her husband's mistress. Determined to understand what Mark saw in her, Vanessa studies her enemy up close. She plays the role of a curious, kind neighbor while unraveling the layers of the woman who unknowingly tore her marriage apart. But the plan begins to twist when Ethan - Tessa's younger brother, recently arrived from the village in search of a better life - crosses paths with Vanessa. Their first encounter is accidental, but the pull between them is undeniable. Vanessa sees an opportunity, not just for distraction, but for an opening. She helps Ethan land a job and supports his dream of building a tech app. In return, Ethan offers something she didn't expect: genuine companionship, laughter, and a sense of calm amid the storm of her carefully veiled vengeance. As Vanessa and Ethan grow closer, secrets swirl just beneath the surface. During a seemingly innocent game of truth or dare, Tessa's secret pregnancy is exposed - and the truth begins to crack through every layer of the lies. As the puzzle comes together, Ethan makes a shocking discovery: Vanessa isn't just a neighbor. She's his sister's lover's wife. The revelation threatens everything - his feelings for Vanessa, his loyalty to his sister, and the fragile new life he's building. But the final blow comes when Mark returns and coldly denies responsibility for Tessa's pregnancy, abandoning her in the same way he emotionally abandoned Vanessa. In the end, hearts break, truths are revealed, and the masks fall away. Vanessa walks away from the ashes of her marriage, not broken, but reborn. And Ethan? He stays - not as part of a revenge plan, but because in the wreckage of betrayal and deception, two hearts found something real. "Sweet Vengeance" is a gripping tale of betrayal, redemption, and unexpected love. It explores the dark edges of infidelity and revenge while reminding us that even amidst chaos, love can still grow - just not always where we expect it.
