A Story A Day. Story 207 of 365: Vengeance.

Yes, she would get revenge. She only needed a way to do it. Of course, the first time she thought was that she was going to kill him. It was relatively easy, and fast. But of course, Megaera didn't want to end up in jail. It needed to be something more elaborate, something that hurt him as much as it had hurt her.

During lunch time she sat on her own on a bench in a nearby park, eating her salad. She usually ate alone, so no one was surprised, or tried to join her. She stabbed the greens as if they had been her boss. How dared he tell her what he had? To her, her most loyal employee?

Megaera remembered when she first arrived at the company. It was much smaller, and she was just out from the university, her boss was not even thirty, a young enthusiastic entrepreneur. It was hard to realize it had only been four years ago. And a multinational had already bought the company, helping it grow. Her boss had retained his position, however. He was charming, and he treated her as an equal, helping her to adapt to the company, even if she was a natural loner. Actually, he was the only person she would get along with. In fact, she had perhaps become too attached to him, she had never tried anything before because she knew he was married.

It all changed when she found out he was sleeping with his secretary. If he was not faithful to his wife with one woman, he could as well be unfaithful with two. She confronted him about it, and he had literally thrown her out of his office, telling her she was crazy, and that she was lucky he hadn't fired her.

Suddenly, she knew what she had to do. She would tell his wife, she deserved to know. If he wasn't hers he wouldn't be anyone's.
