Revenge–Season 1: Chapter 1
Evidence
Paul and I had been together for over ten years, building a business, planning a future, and getting ready for the wedding of our dreams. But one click changed everything.
I stumbled upon a shared document in hist Cloud Drive–a document that wasn‘ t
meant for me. It was filled with secret rendezvous plans, love notes, and hotel. receipts.
The worst part; he was doing it with my trusted employee, Claire Winslow. In that moment, something inside me snapped.
Our perfect life? A lie. Our business? No longer his. And this wedding? It wasn’t going to be canceled–it was going to be the start of their downfall.
I wasn‘ t the heartbroken fiancée who
would quietly walk away. No, I would take

everything. Brick by brick, I would destroy them both. They thought they could cheat and get away with it. They had no idea who they were messing with.

I was knee–deep in wedding planning, juggling work while preparing for the biggest day of my life.
One evening, as I finalized our wedding. invites, I shared the guest list with my fiancé, Paul Foster, on Cloud Drive.
He was away for a business conference, so this was our way of staying organized. Everything seemed perfect–until something strange caught my eye.
A few days ago, he logged into his email on my laptop, so today I accidentally opened the drive using his account.
As I scrolled through the folders, I noticed the latest edited document that I didn’t
recognize. It was titled [Business Projections Q3.] Boring, typical. But

something about it felt off. I hadn’t created it, and it wasn‘ t part of any current project.
Curiosity got the better of me.
I clicked on it, expecting a dry business file. Instead, it opened to a short message: [Can’t stop thinking about that night at the hotel… next time I’ll wear red.]
My stomach dropped. This wasn’t some business document. It was shared with
only Paul and this email I had never seen before: Cl_win@wemail.com. Something was definitely off.
Shaking, I checked the document history.
The full conversation unraveled before me -talk of sneaking around after meetings, making excuses for “work dinners,” and even plans to continue their affair after the wedding, like it was just a bump in the road to their perfect little secret.
I stared at the screen, disbelief crashing over me. They had been using our business.

as cover for their affair, planning romantic weekends while I had been pouring my heart into our future.
The document wasn‘ t even hidden. He had gotten so comfortable, so careless, that he didn’t bother to erase the evidence. And now, here it was in his shared folder, staring me in the face like a twisted gift from the universe.
“Hey, sorry, Ruby. I can’t make it today. Can you do the food tasting with your mom?” he said when I called to remind him about our appointment. Same excuse, different day. I bit my tongue and forced a light tone. “Yeah, sure. Just don‘ t overwork yourself, alright?”
As soon as the call ended, I clenched my fists. His time was coming. I would definitely make it happen.
After spending days crying and feeling desperate, I knew I had to do something. I
made a ten–step revenge plan, and the first step was to gather evidence.

Revenge–Season 1: Chapter 1 Evidence
Without him suspecting a thing, I scoured his phone, emails, and financial records, seeking undeniable proof of his affair.
We had always kept things simple, sharing one WeCloud account for our devices. It was convenient for syncing our calendars, documents, and photos. As I browsed
through my phone‘ s photo gallery, I noticed new images had been synced from his device.
Most of them were mundane–screenshots of emails, photos from work trips. But then, mixed in between, I found a photo that didn’t belong. It was a picture of Claire Winslow, our employee, in lingerie, posing in front of a mirror in a hotel room.
My chest tightened, and I quickly swiped, hoping it was a mistake. But the next photo was even worse–him, shirtless in the same room, grinning at the camera. This
confirmed the affair between the two of
them.
Then, one afternoon, while I was working

from home and he was supposedly still in a meeting, I opened the Streamify app to play our usual playlist. That was when I noticed a recently added playlist titled [Late Nights.] It wasn‘ t our music, and it wasn’t public. Curious, I clicked on it.
It was filled with romantic songs we had never listened to, with titles like “Secret
Love Song,
“Wildest Dreams,” and
“Dirty Little Secret.” I then saw her profile–Claire–had been adding songs too, with little love notes in the description: [For our weekend getaway,] [That night.]
I realized they had been secretly sharing songs, creating a world I had no idea about. The playlist was their own soundtrack to the affair.
It took me a few weeks, as I was busy with work and wedding preparations. But once I had it all–the secret meetings,
inappropriate messages, and even hotel receipts–I filed them away for later. My goal was to strike when it would hurt the
