I Knew My Ex-Mistress Would Lose Her Mind When We Broke Up, But I Had No Idea She Was Capable Of This

That thought kept me comfortable for a few weeks, but then Tarah went and did something beyond crazy. Something I thought even she wasn’t capable of.

It was another late night at the office cooking the books. I knew the next tax season could be the death knell of Brian Petersen Motors, but I was going to do everything I could to make that not happen and that meant staying in the office and going over financials instead of staying in the office and fucking 25-year-old mentally ill women with red wine-stained lips in the back of BMWs.

It was close to 9 p.m. when I finally tried to leave. I felt a deep grumble begin to grow in my stomach as soon as I pulled away from the office, coasted through the lot and saw a familiar vehicle parked in the entryway of the property which led out onto the dark highway…Tarah’s car.

I eased on the brakes and slowly pulled up to her car. My heart began to rise when I noticed the engine was running and the lights were on, but I couldn’t see through the glass in the slightest. The interior was completely fogged up.

“Fuck me,” I groaned as I put my truck in park and stepped out into the chill of the night.

The pain in the pit of my stomach grew stronger when I walked up to the driver’s side door of Tarah’s car. Something was off. I feared the car might explode or something, but figured she didn’t have those kinds of technical capabilities. Maybe she had a gun waiting for me? Oh well, I just needed to confront whatever was waiting for me in there.

I reached for the driver’s side door handle and opened it slowly.

What was waiting for me drove that burn of pain in the pit of my stomach quickly up my windpipe and into the back of my throat. I swallowed it down, but it didn’t take away the sting that was on my eyes from the horror I was looking at.
