Vic Secret Murder [EBOOK]

<h43Prologue </h3><br>
Heavy breathing resonated over the phone as a threatening male voice spoke with malice. “You'll do what I tell you, or your wife will see what an adulterous creep you are.”
<br><br>
“It’s come to blackmail, has it?” the second man asked, unable to hide the quiver in his voice.
<br><br>
“Do as I ask and I’ll give you the photos. No one else needs to know your sordid little secret,” the blackmailer replied.
<br><br>
There was a silent pause as both men breathed heavily, each pondering the situation for their own needs.
<br><br>
“He lied to me you know?” The blackmailer was the first to break the short pause.
<br><br>
“I can’t say I want to know if I’m honest. I’d rather you deal with this yourself and not involve me,” the other man responded.
<br><br>
“If he hadn’t been so dishonest, this would be over with by now. Because of his lies, I have to counter his actions to get the best outcome for both of us,” the blackmailer said.
<br><br>
“Us… there is no ‘us.’ I don’t want anything to do with it.”
<br><br>
“You’re as deep in this mess as I am,” the blackmailer snapped. “I’ve waited long enough; my patience is wearing thin.”
<br><br>
“I don’t know what you expect me to do about it.”
<br><br>
“You’re going to do as I say, that's what you’re going to do about it,” the blackmailer repeated his demands.
<br><br>
“Are you mad?” the second man panicked.
<br><br>
“Be thankful you’ve got the easy part of this deal.”
<br><br>
“Why should I care if you show them to my wife? This could cost me my career and my marriage anyway if I'm found out.”
<br><br>
“So do a good job of it and no one needs to know what a pathetic little man you are,” the blackmailer threatened again.
<br><br>
“How many more times are you going to use this against me?”
<br><br>
“This is the last time. I told you, do this and you’ll get the negatives. Don't do it and what you've done to your wife won't matter anymore. You won't be around to suffer the consequences.”
<br><br>
The blackmailer ended the call abruptly.
<br><br>
The second man still had the phone to his ear, realising that he had more to lose than his wife and career. If he didn’t do his part, his life might be at risk too.
