Cheaters Marianne and Daniel have been going to great lengths to conceal their illicit affair from Elise, Marianne’s best friend and Daniel’s wife. But when Elise uncovers their treachery, her retribution is swift and final. At a cozy lunch in a beautiful restaurant, Marianne and Daniel shared a secret touch under the table.
Their hidden intimacy was thrilling yet dangerous because Elise, Daniel’s wife and Marianne’s best friend, was laughing at his jokes, completely unaware of the betrayal. “You’re so lucky to have Daniel, my friend,” Marianne told Elise, her words soft and insinuating. She wasn’t proud of her actions, but the excitement was hard to resist.
Still, she and Daniel needed to be careful. “Absolutely,” Elise nodded, her attention briefly turning towards the waiter. When her friend was distracted, Marianne withdrew her foot and whispered to Daniel, “We need to be more careful.”
He simply nodded and became distracted by his phone, which buzzed constantly.
After a few minutes,
he excused himself, allowing Elise to do what she wanted from the beginning. She leaned toward Marianne and grabbed her hand tightly. “I think Daniel might be seeing someone else,” she whispered uncertainty and distress in her eyes.
Marianne started sweating and had to swallow quickly as she offered platitudes, suggesting stress might be the cause. Yet, Elise was desperate for the truth and asked her to flirt with Daniel to test his fidelity. Marianne agreed reluctantly, caught between being glad that this request offered her a chance to spend more time with Daniel and her sense of shame.
When Daniel returned, his smile was strained, and his eyes avoided Elise’s inquiring gaze. They picked up some awkward conversation, but their lunch ended abruptly after Elise’s phone rang with urgent news. “It’s my mom.
She’s not well and needs me. I have to go to her.” She stood up, her hands trembling slightly. “Of course, go.
We understand,” Daniel said softly as he watched his wife picking her things. After Elise left, Marianne grinned tentatively. “Well, that’s convenient,” she said, all guilt seemingly vanishing when it was just the two of them.
But Daniel shook his head. “Maybe we should cool things off. She might be onto us.” Marianne dismissed his concerns with a wave of her hand.
