Chapter 6

The most recent messages appeared this morning:

Mr. Wayne: [Upon your return, might I be the first to receive your attention?]

Jasper: [I'm afraid not. My wife takes priority.]

Mr. Wayne promptly sent back a tearful emoji.

Jasper: [Very well. I've brought you a present this time. That Hermès you've been eyeing.]

When Jasper arrived home, he presented two luxury handbags, asking me to select one for myself while claiming the other was for a customer. In reality, the "customer" was his lover.

I continued to browse their conversation. They exchanged messages daily.

Mr. Wayne: [She was unfaithful with your closest friend. Why do you still desire her?]

Jasper: [That's not your concern. Nor should you feel envious.]

Mr. Wayne responded with an irate emoji.

Jasper: [I'll indulge you if you wish to maintain our arrangement. But remember your position. She's my wife, and you're merely the mistress. Don't forget that.]
