Instead of 'Goodbye' – 'Forgive Me'

— Everything can be bought, Dimon. Do you think Katya’s new girlfriend won’t agree to sleep with me if I promise her mountains of gold? She’ll hand over my wife without a second thought!
— So you’re planning to betray me yourself, just to prove something to me?
— What’s so wrong with that? Men have loved this kind of “sport” since ancient times — both in business and in bed. A business without risk is boring, and a marriage without cheating is a stale story.

The husband, whose words I accidentally overheard and seemed to take root in me, fell silent for a moment — and then added:

— Emma and I have already kissed a couple of times. And groped each other like teenagers.

He laughed — and I nearly vomited.

I was going to surprise my husband, but instead I got ironclad proof of his infidelity.

But instead of leaving for Emma and telling me, “Goodbye,” he’s ready to turn everything upside down — just so I’ll forgive him.
