As the dust settles and the truth emerges, each character must reckon with the consequences of their decisions and pave the way for a future defined by truth, forgiveness, and redemption.
Mary is unaware that her husband is having an extramarital affair with a hotel maid while on a business trip in Los Angeles. When they both realize that the maid is trying to ruin their lives, what will happen?
Michael closed his laptop and checked his watch, waiting for his next visitor.
He wasn’t interested in a messy hotel room; he concentrated on showering and dressing casually. The maid Lucy arrived as his guest and someone knocked on the door.
Michael wouldn’t have slept with Lucy if he knew her real situation. He was blinded by his lust. After grabbing her in his arms and kissing her passionately, he closed the door behind them.
Although Lucy hated Michael’s touch, her main concern at the moment was to cope. She was aware that she would not have another chance to take revenge on the pair for what they had done to her.
He pulled her into bed and whispered, “I’ve been waiting so long for Friday when you finally come back to me.”
“My sweetie, I was waiting too. Lucy said, “I wish we could do this every day,” despite her disgust.
Suddenly they were stopped by a loud knock on the door. “Did you order anything?”
“No,” Lucy shook her head suddenly.
When Michael opened the door, he paled. Mary, his wife, returned without warning from a business presentation.
She exclaimed, “Surprise!” “Mary, my beloved wife!”
Out of fear, he feigned innocence and tried to prevent Mary from entering the bedroom where Lucy was hiding.
However, Mary did not believe what he said.
“Enough lying.” “Where’s he going?” Mary pushed past him with a snap. She knew he had cheated in the past.
“I don’t know who you’re talking about!” Michael remarked nonchalantly. However, Mary ignored him and went to the bathroom. Michael was filled with fear as he realized he only had a few seconds to distract her.
“Honey, please let me know what’s going on. We should head to the hotel dining room.
Mary opened the toilet door and saw that it was empty. The mess on the bed suggested Michael’s secret rendezvous, but Lucy was nowhere to be found.
“Look honey, there’s no one here.
You just get tired. Because of the strain at work, you are suspicious.”
Michael saw Mary release the tension in her body as she breathed. She put her arms around his neck and smiled at him.
She pushed back and said, “If you only love me, prove it.”
Michael pushed her onto the bed and muttered something inappropriate. Mary laughed, but there was a phone under the bed that started ringing.
“Whose phone is this?” Pushing his shoulders, she asked Mary. “Oh, I see. I own it,” Michael replied.
Michael desperately reached under the bed where the phone had fallen when he and Lucy were at work earlier.
Lucy pulled the phone out from under the bed, much to his relief.
Michael commented, “I just changed my ringtone.” “That way I can tell when she’s calling me at work or when my beloved Mary is calling me.”
Mary sat up, her whole demeanor turning sour.
Michael quickly showed her the sticker on his phone when he saw her starting to question him again. “Remember when you bought it for me at the charity event? My feelings for you didn’t change even though I changed the ringtone.”
It’s just weird. I really smelled a woman, I promise.” Mary sighed.
Mary rested her head on Michael’s shoulder and he wrapped his arms around her.
“No one has ever been here and never will be. Probably just the air freshener on autopilot,” he noted.
Mary cast a quick glance at the small device mounted on the wall next to the bedroom entrance. She nodded and said, “Maybe you’re right.”
Michael neatly tucked her stray hair behind her ear. “All you need to do is get some fresh air, okay? Then, when you’ve recovered a bit, we’ll have lunch together, and maybe then he smiled suggestively, “I could ‘convince’ you of my love later.
“Good.” Mary gave him a quick smile and kissed his cheek. “I’m going to wander around the pool, I’ll be right back.
Mary left and Michael breathed a sigh of relief.
“That was close!” Lucy slipped out from behind the bed and screamed.
Lucy was pleased with her strategy against Michael’s success as she carried her cleaning cart down the hotel corridor that evening. Suddenly a voice startled her.
“Hello.” Mary stepped out of the corner. “Hi,” Lucy replied with concern.
“How do you like my husband?” Lucy paled as Marie asked. Did Mary have any suspicions? No, that shouldn’t happen because my strategy won’t work!
“Um… what do you mean?”
“I mean, do you like him?” An icy anger flared in Mary’s eyes.
“Well, in that case, I guess I’ll have to talk to security myself,” Mary replied. “I’ll just tell them my wallet’s gone. They’ll no doubt be happy to offer me this fine caliber.”
Lucy panicked. If hotel security caught her on camera with Michael, she would be even more of a problem.
“D-Avoid it. Patrol. won’t be able to help you. “I will help you,” she said hurriedly.
With the help of one of her former associates, Lucy managed to get into the monitoring room. She sat in front of the panel as Mary gave the order, “Reset the record back to about 11 this morning.”
Lucy said, “Okay,” she hesitated.
She changed the seat belt to reveal her shaky fingers pulling a cleaning cart down the hall. “It’s nothing special,” she remarked.
“That makes sense,” Mary said, scanning the monochrome recording. “Let’s keep watching.
Lucy was in the hallway dusting the painting as they watched, the seconds counting down on the time stamp.
Lucy quickly texted Michael for help and Mary’s phone rang just in time. She stepped aside and said, “Yeah, honey?”
Lucy smoothed her uniform and returned to Michael’s screen door. Michael took the opportunity to go outside and kiss her passionately.
Mary was too busy on the phone to notice the passionate kiss on the TV. Lucy’s heart skipped a beat as Mary rummaged through her purse for her keys.
Mary noticed Lucy playfully shove Michael back into his room as she looked back at the scene after discovering the keys.
“To clean it up, I went into the room across the hall. A few seconds later she said, “And there you are,” indicating Mary’s entrance into the room.
Mary apologized for her suspicions and sighed. As she reached for the door, Lucy’s phone rang and she froze.
“One more thing,” Mary said, frowning at Lucy. Call me to get my bags. I had to go on a business trip.”
Lucy nodded and then breathed a sigh of relief as Mary left. Now it was time for her second strategy.
The voice on the other end of the phone smiled. “If the money is in the right account, you won’t hear from me again.”
Michael sighed and said, “You’ll get it. Give me a minute, please.”
Michael hung up and shook his hands as he checked Mary’s bank account. He had been embezzling money from her for months under the pretense of using it for his artistic expenses. He defended it by saying that it was the only way to repel extortionists. This time he demanded an additional $50,000.
“Mary won’t notice,” he said in a low voice.
When he was ready to hang up after starting the transfer, the phone buzzed again. The blackmailer returned the call. Michael just hated the blackmailer’s synthetic voice – it was obvious they were using a voice modulation program.
“What’s taking so long, Michael?”
“I’m working on it right now. Michael shouted, “You will get your money. The blackmailer laughed menacingly.
“Remember this is your last chance. If you fail, your wife will have access to proof of your relationship.”
Michael muttered in response, “I know.” “Once we do that, we’re done.
Michael couldn’t shake the feeling that this sinister secret would eventually come with him as he pressed the final button to complete the transfer.
When he was done, he looked at the $0 staring back at him on the screen. He had no idea it was far from over. He couldn’t have predicted how quickly the web of lies he had created was pulling in.
*** After a few drinks, Michael returned to his room. Seeing Lucy cleaning up next to the bed, he felt compelled to step forward.
He reached into Lucy’s side and said, “Oh honey, now that my wife is gone, we have this place all to ourselves.”
Something knocked me down. He groaned, “Not now!”
He leaned closer to Lucy and said, “Like I said, we have all night.” But the hits kept coming.
Michael opened the door after hearing another knock, expecting to show a cold shoulder to the person behind.
He was shocked to see Lucy at the door as well. “Lucy? Who’s in my room then?”
Dressed in the same uniform, he turned to Mary. Fear took hold. Mary raised her eyebrows. “Hello, husband!”
“Mary! You look incredible,” Michael tripped.
Michael, you have been exposed. She was under the bed this morning, I know that.” Mary growled at him.
pleaded Michael. “Honey, this is just a game. It’s not that bad.”
“You disgusting prick, this is the end! I want you out of my life and out of here in an hour!” Mary spat.
Michael bowed in the middle of the argument and begged for forgiveness. However, Mary now focused on Lucy. “Time to fire someone,” she sneered.
Lucy giggled and then smiled despite the threat. Yeah, I don’t care that much. Ever since my sister Samantha finally got justice.
Life sometimes comes full circle,” she remarked cryptically.
Michael and Mary shared a confused look as Lucy left. The revelation came to them gradually.
Lucy’s sister Samantha was their former maid. Their meager earnings from Samantha’s low-paid position as the couple’s maid and Lucy’s odd job kept them in poverty.
This was before Samantha’s pregnancy and leaving her husband. During a miscommunication, Mary once discovered Michael and Samantha cuddling in their bedroom and immediately assumed they were having an affair.
Instead of clearing Samantha’s name, Michael decided to discredit the defenseless woman by fabricating accusations that she treated him unwelcomely. To hide his real affair with another woman, he did it. Mary also ignored Samantha’s advice.
When Samantha’s health began to deteriorate and she was unable to find another job, she was unable to pay for her treatment and eventually lost her child. She eventually took her own life because she could not cope with the loss of her child. Lucy was unaware of the hardships her sister was going through until she finally received Samantha’s goodbye letter.
Michael concluded that Lucy was the blackmailer. However, he was unable to act. He was helpless and lost everything.
Relieved that she hadn’t let her sister down, Lucy left the motel without holding any grudges. She muttered, “I got my revenge on you, Sammy,” and raised her eyes to the heavens. She decided to give the illegally obtained money to an organization that helps orphans.
