The Devil's Sweetheart

There is a rule of magic. Don't let anyone know your name because names hold power. Neither Nick nor Jennie heard the four names Andrea mentioned, but that doesn't mean the three don't have any involvement. Directly or indirectly, they have contributed to the accident if she was not wrong.

''How long have you been visiting the Red-light district?'' Quizzed, Jennie.

''Since two years.'' Replied Andrea. She is married to Robert for three years but utterly dissatisfied with the quality of their sex life. It was her sexual frustration that led her to discover the place of pleasure.

''Two years is pretty long! You are covering up way conscientiously from your husband, Miss Smith.'' Jennie's mocking tone caused an embarrassment to Andrea. ''How did you meet the four people?''

''W-hat if you give the video to my husband once I tell the truth?'' Andrea questioned. Until she gets a guarantee, she decided not to open her mouth.

''I am least interested in your afternoon delights. Once you are of no use, I will delete your videos. I can assure you with this.'' Ensured Jennie. ''So, tell me everything you talk with them. Anything you remember, for that matter.''

Andrea turned to Nick and then stared at Jennie with an awkward silence. Andrea could explain it to the woman sitting in front of her because she is a woman, but she finds it a little uncomfortable talking about her sex life in front of a stranger man.

''You have got nothing to be ashamed of, Miss Andrea Smith,'' Nick added, suppressing his smile. ''You should have had the conscience when you did it in the first place.''

''I don't have time to sit and watch your awkward face,'' Jennie scorned, glancing at her wristwatch. ''Your husband may come at any time. Do you want him to know your hanky-panky carryings?''

''Please no.'' Andrea beseeched. ''I will tell everything I remember.''

''That's what I have been asking. Go ahead.'' Remarked Jennie.

Taking a deep breath, Andrea started. ''In the Red-light district, we have several bars and nightclubs with women and men milling around. I visit the place regularly to have sex.''

''Since you are asking for the past month, I will start from there. One and half months back, I met James in the regular nightclub I visited, and we hooked up instantly. He doesn't talk much while having sex, but he often complains about his wife's temper after our copulation. A week later, James introduced his friend Charles. He is an easy-going person. Somedays, we do it individually, and sometimes, we go for a threesome.'' Andrea patiently explained the conversations that happened between the three of them.

Nick and Jennie covered their mouth to stop themselves from laughing as Andrea narrated the story. Great satisfaction indeed comes from sharing with others.

Andrea clutched her hands over the dress tightly in fit. She knew they are mocking, but Andrea has no choice except to keep her anger in check and blurt out the truth. Humiliation in front of strangers is better than dying in the hands of her husband.

''What about the other two?'' Jennie questioned. She didnot find anything suspicious about James and Charles suspicious, but she has to meet them.

''L-idiya is a married woman.'' Biting her bottom lip, Andrea continued. ''We got attracted to each other-''

''Wait!'' Nick stopped Andrea all of a sudden. ''You do it with women also?''

''Can you stop with your questions,'' Jennie shot a glare at Nick. She could feel Andrea aversed already, and this cartoon is simply throwing salt to the wound. Turning to Andrea, Jennie urged her to continue. ''What do Lydia talks with you?''
