Something seemed off.
I couldnât shake off this feeling of suspicion.
Werenât Caleb and Debra supposed to be madly in love? How could he just stand there while his wife got into some other manâs car?
I hung around outside the villa for a bit, but when it became clear that Caleb wasnât coming after Debra, I went back to work and filled my father in.
And fate seemed to be on my side this time.
When Caleb showed up at the office, Carlos accidentally spilled the beans about Debraâs amnesia.
Amnesia? Seriously?
This felt like the perfect chance for me to make a move.
I was absolutely pumped when I found out Carlos was going to take Caleb out to drown his sorrows at a bar.
It felt like winning the lottery.
This was a golden opportunity I couldnât pass up.
Even though Carlos wouldnât let me come along, I wasnât about to give up.
I talked it over with my father and arranged for someone to discreetly injure Sally before heading to the bar.
Just like I thought, Carlos took the bait and was lured away.
Once Carlos was out of the picture, I tried to talk with Caleb, but he was giving me the cold shoulder.
Thankfully, he drank himself into a stupor and passed out.
So, I brought Caleb back to the villa, thinking I could sleep with him tonight in his bed.
Unfortunately, he was totally out cold with an injured arm, so there was no chance of getting intimate in bed together.
I was stuck.
To make sure I didnât blow this opportunity, I had to strip us both down and stage
us lying together to make it look Like we had spent the night together.
To make it seem more legit, I even gave myself a few love marks, scratching up my skin a bit.

It all went off without a hitch.
When Caleb finally woke up, he had his doubts but couldnât prove I had staged the whole thing.
And then, out of the blue, Debra walked in and caught us in bed together.
It was like the universe was handing me a win!
Flashback ends.
I walked in the door and my father, Neal Vargas, was there to greet me right away.
He looked a bit tense, asking, âHow did it go?â
With a grin, I replied, âPiece of cake, Dad.
Itâs all sorted, and it went even better than we expected.
â
âSeriously? Thatâs fantastic!â His wrinkled face lit up with joy as he clapped and gave me a thumbs-up.
âI took the chance of hurting Sally for injuring her yesterday, and youâve handled your task brilliantly!â
But then I couldnât shake off the thought of Carlos and blurted out my concerns.
âWhat if Carlos catches wind that we hurt his wife?â
Dad stayed calm.
âRelax.
The guy I had on the job did it without leaving a trace.
Thereâs no surveillance there, so Carlos wonât find it out.
â
Still, my worry lingered.
âBut what if Carlos figures out I spent the night with Caleb? Then what?â
