My Divorced Neighbor Told Me, ‘I’m Going to Take Your Husband, so You’d Better Prepare for Divorce’ – I Decided to Teach Her a Lesson in a Way Only Another Woman Could

I ran a small bakery from our converted garage.

I had spent six years building it, one loaf, cake, and cookie order at a time.

Vanessa knew exactly how much of my life went into it.

That evening, I told Irvin she wasn’t helpless.

“She’s manufacturing reasons to get you alone,” I said. “Nobody moves the same shelf back and forth because she desperately needs help.”

He frowned. “You think she’s flirting with me?”

“I know she is.”

He promised he’d stop going over for every little request.

I believed him because Irvin had never given me a reason not to.

Then Vanessa made sure there was no room left for doubt.
