Lips Remained Tight
Her lips remained tight as she absorbed the conversation unfolding around her. The remarks from her husband’s colleagues about their baby were more hurtful than she had ever imagined. Their comments felt cold and disrespectful, leaving her in shock.
In that moment, the truth about what her husband had been concealing came crashing down on her. The betrayal she felt ran deep, unraveling the trust she once had in him.
Fury and betrayal swirled within her, and with a steely resolve, she promised herself that she would make them pay for what they had done. Revenge was now her only focus.
After Giving Birth
A year after giving birth to her daughter Sarah, Jane had spent most of her time at home as a full-time mother. This wasn’t a role she had planned on or necessarily desired, but it became her reality.
Her focus during that year was to bond with her husband and child before resuming her career. She cherished these moments but felt the pull to re-enter the workforce.
As the year passed, Jane realized it was time for a change. She felt ready to return to work, confident in her decision to balance both family and professional life once again.
Cherished Her Time
Jane cherished her time with her family, but a part of her longed to return to work. Even though she had been away for a while, she still found great fulfillment in her job.
The desire to contribute and be productive again grew stronger, fueling her decision to reenter the workforce. She felt a deep urge to reconnect with her professional life.
What Jane didn’t realize, however, was the potential impact of her choice. She was unaware of how balancing both work and family would affect her well-being.
When The Pandemic Hit
When the pandemic hit, Jane’s husband, Hue, transitioned to working from home. His job, which allowed flexibility, meant his employer approved of him working remotely.
With Hue at home, Jane felt at ease about going back to her job. Knowing her baby was safe with Hue around gave her peace of mind, no matter what the day brought.
Still, Jane began to think about the possibility of hiring a nanny to help manage the household. The idea of extra support was something she was seriously considering.
Bringing A Nanny
Jane suggested bringing a nanny into the house to care for the baby every day until the parents were able to manage on their own.
However, Hue didn’t agree with this approach. He believed he could handle both his work and caring for the baby simultaneously.
Though his confidence was understandable, his decision led to unexpected and negative consequences.
Jane Hesitated
Jane hesitated, knowing how much Hue valued his job as an IT Specialist. She worried about the consequences of him losing his job and the benefits it provided.
But Hue remained persistent. He reassured her that everything would be fine and urged her to leave the baby with him for a while. His confidence gave her a sense of hope.
Neither of them could have anticipated what was coming next. Their decision would soon lead them down an unexpected path.
Meeting With His Boss
After Jane agreed, Hue promptly arranged a meeting with his boss. That evening, he updated Jane, assuring her that everything was in place, and she was free to go back to work.
Hue’s boss was supportive of his decision to care for the baby, understanding the importance of family. He even went a step further, offering Jane the opportunity to attend meetings and connect with the team again.
This gesture made Jane feel welcomed and appreciated, easing her transition back into the workplace while balancing her responsibilities at home.
Fully Embraced The Plan
Jane hesitated to fully embrace the plan, but eventually agreed, deciding to leave for work early the next day. The morning arrived, and all appeared to be going according to plan.
However, things quickly took an unexpected turn. As soon as she stepped out the door, everything changed. The reality of the situation was far more complicated than Hue had led her to believe.
In an instant, Jane found herself questioning everything. What seemed like a simple task was now clouded with uncertainty, forcing her to reconsider her next steps.
Barely Stepped Outside
Jane had barely stepped outside when her phone rang, displaying Hue’s name on the screen. She quickly picked it up, assuming she had forgotten something important.
But the moment she answered, her heart sank. Instead of Hue’s voice, all she could hear was the frantic scream of her daughter.
Confusion and panic gripped Jane as she tried to make sense of the situation. What on earth was happening?
After Ending The Call
After ending the call, Jane quickly dialed another number, realizing the interview scheduled for the day would have to be canceled.
With the interview postponed, she returned home to care for her baby, her husband already gone to work. The weight of their challenges was beginning to sink in.
What seemed like a routine day quickly turned into a reminder of the struggles ahead. Little did Jane know, this was just the beginning of a much bigger journey.
Giving It Another Go
Hue was still adamant about taking care of the baby while Jane was at work. And they decided to give it another shot. But this time, they would prepare for what was going to happen.
Hue suggested that Jane go out one night after he finished working. He’d stay with the baby and see how things went. Would it work?
Girls Night Out
Jane agreed with the plan and called up some of her friends. She invited them for a girls night out and started getting ready.
At that point, everything was going well. But she couldn’t help but wonder what would happen by the time she reached the car. Would she get another phone call?
Everything Went Fine
The hours passed by, and Jane hadn’t heard a word from her husband. She could only assume that it meant things were going well.
So she put her phone aside and enjoyed her evening, thinking that their plan had been successful. But not all’s well that ends well. She would learn that lesson soon enough.
Returning To Work
The next week, Jane returned to work, and she couldn’t be happier. She was in her element once more, and she hadn’t received a call from her husband once.
What she didn’t know was that something was happening in the background. Her husband was too afraid to share the truth. But everything comes out eventually.
All Seemed Well
A week had gone by, and Hue didn’t complain about taking care of the baby once. From the outside perspective, all seemed to be going well.
But Jane knew her husband better than most, and she could tell that something wasn’t right. She had picked up on the subtle signs, and she wanted to know what was going on.
Subtle Changes
Jane had noticed that her husband wasn’t his usual bubbly self anymore. His jokes had all but disappeared. And the smile she loved so much was never seen again.
He also seemed to be irritated all the time. Did it have something to do with the baby? Or was there something else going on that she wasn’t aware of?
He Didn’t Want To Talk About It
After a couple of days of watching her husband suffer in silence, Jane decided to broach the topic. She asked what it was that was affecting his mood so drastically, hoping that she could help in some way.
But Hue refused to talk about it, stating that things would be better soon. For some reason, though, Jane didn’t believe him.
Weeks Of Silence
Days had turned into weeks, and Jane still couldn’t get any answers out of her silent husband. Over that time, his condition was only getting worse. And the subtle changes had become the norm.
What was going on? Was he hiding something from her? And if that were the case, what was his secret? She was about to find out.
On Her Day Off
It was a Monday, and Jane had decided to take the day off. She missed spending time with her family, and even though Hue would be working, he’d still be there.
When Hue had to go into a meeting, Jane decided to take the baby for a walk. It was when she returned that she finally uncovered the truth.
A Work Meeting
Jane never stuck around when Hue had meetings, and there were two very valid reasons for that. The first was that she didn’t want his colleagues to see her walking around in the background.
But she had no idea that this particular meeting would take so long. And she didn’t know what she’d walk into when she got back.
She Froze In Her Tracks
As soon as Jane walked into the house and heard that the meeting was still in progress, she froze in her tracks. But it wasn’t the voices that had her stopping. It was what the people said.
They were making fun of her baby, who had a deformity since birth. They called the poor child a vampire from the movie Blade. And it was all because she was born with a cleft palate.
It Didn’t End Well
They were going on and on even though Hue tried his best to get them to stop. He tried to explain that she was born that way and that she was scheduled for surgery.
But his colleagues weren’t listening to what he had to say, and their comments only became worse. Jane knew what was about to happen. And she knew it wouldn’t end well.
He Finally Erupted
Jane stood there for five minutes before Hue erupted in a fit of rage. He attacked every single one of his colleagues before slamming his laptop shut.
He had reached the point of no return. And Jane knew that it was time for her to do some damage control. If she didn’t, he’d end up losing his job.
Spilling The Beans
Jane sat her husband down and demanded that he tell her what was going on while she was at work. Hue was hesitant at first, but he broke down eventually.
He told her that the comments had been made since Sarah joined his first meeting. And when she wasn’t there, they would be worse than ever.
She Wouldn’t Stand For It
Jane was furious. She couldn’t understand why a bunch of grown men would make such nasty comments about a baby. She didn’t know how they could be so cruel.
But she did know that she had reached her limit as well. She understood where her husband was coming from and why he was so upset. But she could do something about it.
Scheming
When Jane left for work the next morning, the new nanny was already there. Hue had also taken a week off work so he could avoid the incidents.
But he had no idea what his wife was up to.She spent her time at work thinking of a plan that would put an end to this madness once and for all.
She’d Teach Them A Lesson
But Jane didn’t just want to take the weight off her husband’s shoulders. No, she wanted to teach those people a lesson.
She wanted them to feel how her husband felt. And once that happened, she’d take them down for good. They had no idea who they were messing with, but they would find out soon enough.
They Had No Idea Who She Was
Jane was the CEO and owner of the company that the people her husband worked for saw as their biggest competition. And she had all the resources she needed in the palm of her hand.
She would use that to her advantage. And once she was done, everyone would know what she was capable of. She would teach them a lesson they would never forget.
The Time Had Come
No one knew that Hue had started recording the meetings, as he wanted to approach Human Resources to lay a complaint against his colleagues.
And Jane used that as her ammunition. She approached every single media outlet she worked with and told her story. She also gave them copies of the recordings. Things were about to get incredibly uncomfortable.
Massive Backlash
When the story hit the news the next morning, it created a backlash to the likes that no one had ever seen before.
The story went viral in a matter of hours. And before the company knew what they were in for, they had a flood of protestors standing in front of their door. How would they deal with the situation?
