Igor promised that this would be a trip I would never forget – our first weekend together. The hotel was magnificent: floor-to-ceiling windows with a view of the sparkling sea. Breakfast in bed, romantic walks on the beach, and exploring the charming city – it was a dream come true.
But then, Monday morning arrived. Igor woke up early, looking tense and distracted.
“I have an urgent meeting at work,” he muttered. “I need to leave now. Just check out yourself, and I’ll see you later.”
I was disappointed but didn’t want to spoil the end of such a beautiful weekend. I decided to enjoy my last few hours of relaxation. I had a peaceful breakfast, packed my things, and made my way to the reception.
That’s when it hit me.
The receptionist handed me a bill for $1,350. I froze.
I had to take a moment to process it. It didn’t make sense. How could the bill be this high? I immediately checked the charges. Snacks from the minibar, room service, and countless extras. My mind was racing.
I called Igor. No answer. Of course, I tried texting him, but all I got in return was a simple message:
“Sort out the bill. I booked the room, now you pay the rest.”
I felt my blood boil. How could he do this to me? But I tried to calm down. Maybe he’d been planning this all along, and I simply didn’t notice. Still, there was a nagging voice inside that told me something wasn’t right.
I asked the receptionist for more details, and with a smile, she casually added, “Oh, the room didn’t cost him anything. It was all paid for with his bonuses from work.”
That hit me like a punch to the gut. He hadn’t treated me to this weekend at all – he’d used me as a way to get away without paying a dime.
Furious, I drove home, feeling the sting of betrayal with every mile. But by the time I walked through my door, a new idea had already formed in my mind. I would get my revenge, and it would be sweet.
With a sly grin, I reached for my phone. I started working on my plan, crafting a message that seemed like an innocent request at first. But underneath, it carried something far more satisfying than he could ever expect…
