My Sugar And Your Spice

“I have no other choice.” Elyse could no longer stay haughty, not in this situation. “I’ll do whatever you ask of me this time. I know what you want.”

“I do not help those without value to me, and you have lost all your worth,” the man answered coldly.

Elyse’s phone almost fell out of her hand, but her reluctance to admit defeat kept her going. “It’s your fault I became like this. If it weren’t for you, I would still be in a loving relationship with Leo. We’d probably be raising a family by now.”

“Is that so?” The man chortled, which annoyed Elyse.

The mockery in his tone crushed what was left of Elyse’s dignity.

“You were arrogant. You abused the love he gave you. Even if I hadn’t shown up, you would have gone for someone else anyway. It’s sad that you still can’t recognize the error of your ways and that you think it’s someone else’s fault you’re in this predicament. That’s not right,” the man said as softly and indifferently as usual. “Perhaps you might learn a lesson in prison.”

“No, I don’t want to!” Elyse had a meltdown. She couldn’t imagine what prison life would be like. She went there once for a shoot, and it was a dark, dreary place. The days of the inmates were filled with nothing but pain and despair. She would die if she were imprisoned.

“Pull off one last one, then. You need to go all in this time if you want to live.” Then, the man hung up.

Elyse clutched her phone, her face as pale as a ghost, and sweat drenched her forehead. “I need a chance,” she muttered as her mind raced. That’s it. I have an idea.
