What a muddy situation! Two wrongs don't make a right and neither do manipulation, guilt, and retaliation. Zenith comes across as determined, ambitious but also mischievous. Her purse is all that matters. Veronica's investigation are spot on-Jalen isn't as special as he thinks. He ends up losing his family. Tsk.
An interesting short story that exposes the messy and unpleasant reality of a cheating partner. Well done. I hope you're doing well. Take care and have a great day. 🌹
Yes, messy and unpleasant all around. That's usually the way those situations play out. Retaliation isn't recommended, but oh so satisfactory for the moment, then move on. For the supposedly child he thinks is his, the baby mama uses that (and I suppose others as well) to fund her lifestyle. I've heard of so many situations as this, and the child(ren) never benefit. Sometimes I just don't understand men and their machinations. Dumb as a doorknob in some situations that are of the utmost importance in life.
Thanks so much for your visit and insight into my characters and the mess they've made for themselves. I appreciate your engagement and support. Take care.
