Chapter 29 HD Photos +25 BONUS Matthew seemed shocked at my question . I said innocently , " That was our house savings , so we need that money back soon . I want to buy a place once I find a suitable one . We can't afford to delay our move any longer , especially after Ava's fall . I need to find her a decent kindergarten , preferably Sunnydale Institute . " Matthew remained silent as I spoke . I feigned naivety and continued , " Why are you so quiet ? I've noticed you're so indifferent lately . " 2 Matthew chuckled awkwardly , saying , " How's that ? Honey , I've got everything under control . I told you what happened to the money , right ? We invested in a project many people have their eyes on . 3 " We had to make an executive decision then , so I used our house savings as payment first . Do you think we'll have trouble finding a good house once the company grows stronger ? It's all part of my plan , so don't worry . " He smiled and gently pinched my nose . However , I knew his smile wasn't genuine . s We were preoccupied with our thoughts throughout lunch , and I lamented that money . Ideally , I must quickly trace it before Matthew tells me the project has gone south . 2 After returning to my office , I called Ivanna and updated her on what had happened . I also sent her a photo of Johnson , knowing Matthew wouldn't show his face for the next few days . 3 I remained in my office that afternoon and focused on the " special " materials Matthew had prepared for me . I had to admit that the woman who took Matthew from me was impressive . Meanwhile , Matthew stuck to his routined schedule the next few days while Johnson was frequently absent from the office . 5 Since Matthew was so cautious with me , I figured the other woman would be even more careful not to expose herself . It seemed I had greatly underestimated her . 2 Matthew and I went to the company together on Monday morning after dropping Ava off . I had just returned to my office when my phone notified me of a message . 1 I absentmindedly removed my coat and picked up the phone to see the text message containing a photo . I calmly opened it , but my hand shook when the image loaded . I saw two high - definition pictures on the screen . The first picture was a close - up of Matthew sleeping on a hotel bed . His profile was prominent, but what caught my attention was the woman's midsection nestled against him . The photo was detailed enough to reveal the hickeys left from passionate kisses . 5 The second photo was from a different angle but was slightly farther away . It showed Matthew's hand resting between the woman's thighs . The sheets were a mess , indicating the passionate encounter that had occurred the night before . 5 The pictures were detailed enough to resemble selfies , cropped to focus on the main action . My vision blurred after seeing those pictures . I plopped into my office chair and pressed against my chest while taking deep breaths . I felt like I had gotten stabbed in the heart , and my veins were about to pop . Although I had mentally prepared myself for what may come , these explicit photos still shocked me . The scenarios I had imagined seemed like child's play compared to these pictures . They were impactful and sparked my wild imagination . 1/2 Chapter 29 HD Photos +25 BONUS Soon after , I checked the phone number and realized I didn't recognize it . Before I could gather my thoughts , I received another message from that number . The message was even more provoking than the last . 3
