Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Alice really wanted Jonathan to be her ally. Besides, she had never seen anyone who hated Jacob like he did. In a bid to please him, she put more food into his plate and flattered him occasionally. Jonathan was pleased with all that Alice was doing. He had a huge smile plastered on his face. It seemed that he had fallen totally into her trap.

The three of them continued to discuss their dubious plan as they munched on their food. They were in quest of ways to bring just one man down. As they talked, they reached a preliminary agreement. The trio had several ideas that summed up into a concrete plan.

Staring blankly at the plate, Alice felt bitter. The hatred she had for Jacob grew more intense. She also clutched her fork tightly as she thought of all the horrible things she would do to him.

Alice had never thought that she would be in that position. But as fate would have it, she was now sitting at this table planning the havoc that would wreak him.

'But Jacob, you forced me to do this. It is all your fault, not mine. I'm only acting according to the treatment that you meted out to me. All I ever did was to love you. Since you are so ungrateful, I have no other choice but to deal with you!'

Thinking of this, Alice moved closer to Jonathan. Her body was rubbing his slightly.

Jonathan was elated with Alice's action. 'Damn! This beautiful lady is throwing herself at me. I should make good use of this opportunity, ' he thought. Jonathan was already crushing on Alice. Indeed, she was beautiful and available too.

After the meal, Jonathan and Thompson stood by the door and discussed in low tones. Alice left them there and went home. She wasn't feeling well and she needed to rest.

Thompson brought out a cigarette and lit it. He watched as Alice boarded a taxi and it immediately drove off. Then, he offered a cigarette to Jonathan. The other man accepted it and lit it immediately.

"What do you think, Mr. Jonathan? Alice is not bad, is she?"

Thompson asked as he looked in the direction which the taxi had driven towards. But there was no sign of the taxi now. In spite of this, Thompson still missed Alice. He didn't want her to leave early.

Hearing that question, Jonathan's face lit up. He was smiling from ear to ear.
