Chapter 3 - CHEATED ON HIS BED

On a Saturday morning, John stumbled home, utterly drained from the tumultuous events of the night before. The party had taken an unexpected turn, leaving him feeling more exhausted than rejuvenated. With the day stretching ahead, he indulged the thought of a leisurely day filled with rest and solace — after all, he was off duty.

As fate would have it, though, the following day he needed to report back to work. Arriving home, he found Sasha still deep in slumber, the door locked tight. He knocked tentatively at first, but soon his patience began to wear thin. John knew all too well that Sasha had a penchant for playful revenge, often leaving him waiting at the door longer whenever they had crossed paths. 

Still reeling from the effects of last night's revelry, John's attempts to stand became increasingly futile. He lost his balance and fell to the ground, lying still, helpless as a church mouse. Every effort to rise was met with failure, leaving him in a state of disorientation.

Just then, a neighbor, driven by concern, stumbled upon John in his sorry state. The philanthropist hoisted him up, helping him sit. Once he regained some composure, John's chatter roared back to life, words tumbling out at lightning speed. 

The neighbor, sensing the urgency of the situation, tried to rouse Sasha from her slumber. After multiple attempts yielded nothing, he was left with no choice but to break the padlock and gain access to the apartment.

As the door swung open, John insisted on stepping into the bedroom to rest. But what lay ahead was a shocking surprise: a large, unfamiliar man was hidden beneath the bed! How could Sasha betray him in this way, inviting another into his home? The sheer audacity of it left John reeling.

Sasha stood in a daze, utterly bewildered by the unfolding chaos. It felt surreal, almost like a bad dream, but the reality was all too stark as she pinched herself, hoping it was just a nightmare. Confronted with this distressing truth, her reputation hung in the balance, and even the neighbor, familiar with her notorious history, gasped at the turn of events.

In a matter of moments, a crowd formed as neighbors, inciting justice for what they perceived as betrayal, pushed their way into the room. They swiftly seized the uninvited man, dragging him out and roughly tying him to the grill on the veranda. Helpless and confused, his eyes filled with tears, he found himself at the mercy of a community ready to avenge their friend's dishonor.

The atmosphere was thick with tension as the crowd buzzed, each person grappling with the shocking revelations and the fate that awaited the man who had dared to cross the line. What would happen next? Only time would tell.

In the dim light of dawn, a man found himself at a crossroads, cornered by the weight of truth. Harassment had pushed him into a confession he never wanted to make: he had spent the night in a bedroom that wasn't his, entwined in a tangled web of deceit with Sasha, a woman he believed was entirely his. For months, their affair had flourished in secrecy, until that fateful night exposed the truth—Sasha was someone's fiancée.

As he stood amidst the unraveling chaos, he struggled to grasp the shocking revelation: Sasha had lied about her living situation, claiming the house was hers when, in fact, it belonged to her enraged fiancé, John. Knowing how John's temper flared, Sasha anticipated an explosive confrontation at any moment.

Thinking quickly, she made her move. Slipping into the bedroom, she snatched the pistol from John's waistband, her heart racing as she locked herself in the washroom, tossing the key out the window in a desperate bid for safety.

Awakened by an unsettling noise, John stirred from a restless sleep. Confusion clouded his mind as he frantically searched for his pistol, only to discover it missing, a potential threat to his military career. Driven by a rising sense of dread, he stepped into the unfolding chaos outside.

His instincts kicked in. As if reading the signs, John pieced together the night's treachery, and his fury ignited. An explosive confrontation followed, leaving the other man battered and barely clinging to life. When the police arrived, John knew he had overstepped, misusing his authority as a soldier, yet he felt justified in a system that often stood against the vulnerable.

He loved Sasha fiercely, and that love overshadowed the tumultuous storm brewing around them. They embraced as neighbors watched, content with their version of justice being served. After the drama subsided, John and Sasha retreated to the guest room to sift through the wreckage of their relationship.

In a moment of vulnerability, Sasha proposed a condition: if John wanted to keep her, he had to secure the release of the man in custody. It was a bold move that sent warning bells ringing in John's mind—could he trust her after all? Yet, he agreed, vowing to ensure the man was freed, knowing Sasha's connections could sway things in their favor.

Though they landed a truce of sorts, mistrust lingered in the air, a reminder of betrayal that had slipped into their lives. Yet, fortified by their shared history, they promised to rebuild. John softened his approach, showering Sasha with tenderness, planning a romantic escape to meditate on their relationship.

Marrying Sasha had long been his dream, but she resisted, claiming she was too young for such commitments. Trusting time would eventually turn the tide, he concentrated on their weekend rendezvous, where he provided for her every need.

Sasha, a spirited university student, balanced her academic life with weekend escapes to John, whose dedication continued to captivate her. Despite her assertive nature and a penchant for debate, John felt a magnetic pull towards her that he couldn't explain. 

In a relationship marked by passion, conflict, and secrets, their bond remained unshakeable. As John plotted his next steps, he couldn't help but wonder if this love, rooted in chaos, would pave the way to a deeper, lasting connection.
