It wasn't the stab in the back that killed me it was when I turned around and saw who was holding the knife

She said with tear filled eyes staring at  her boyfriend, who just tried to convince her he was done cheating, not knowing she had already planned her revenge.

Five days earlier

It was 4:55 p.m., 5 minutes away from business closure for the day, Daniela sat at her desk reading and responding to her emails and texts. She was about to log out of the system when  Instagram notified her that she was mentioned in a post on her boyfriend's profile. She clicked on the notification out of curiosity and to her most utter dismay, it was a paparazzi shot of him hand feeding chocolate covered strawberries to some blonde haired chick with 90's bangs and a sad excuse of fashion interest.

There were a bouquet of pink and white roses on the table in front of the woman and a tiny jewelry box small enough to fit a ring.

Hiding her hurt, she screamed at the top of her lungs, calling her assistant. "Taylorrrr, come in here right now,"

Taylor, who had already seen the picture and was too scared to bring it up, came running into her office looking all distraught.

" Yes, boss, I already sent you the schedule for tomorrow, I refilled the snack and drink bar, and I asked the cleaner to.." he silenced himself, noticing the tears coming out of her eyes. "Okay, I must admit I saw the post. I just did not want to add pain to injury, I also reached out to your PR to get some information on the woman, you can thank me after we go get drinks at Morrel's, the limo is already out front.

She stared at him dumbfounded, sighing she turned back to her computer and answered her last email, logging out of the system.

She grabbed her bag and keys and went to wait for Taylor at the front   desk where the secretary had already clocked out of the office.
Leaving just the two of them.

Within the time she waited, she started thinking, and she realized that she needed to work on herself and how she treated others. She had been nothing but mean to taylor, abusing her authority for the past few months, and even then, when she needed someone, she could always count on him.
He was like her best friend.

After about five minutes, he finally came down to the front desk with his stuff and began walking towards the door, looking at her with a sad smile. Thinking of what he can do to help make her feel better, also not wanting to make her any more angry than she was.

When they got inside the limo, there was a bottle of tequila, Ferrero rocher chocolates,  and a bouquet of red roses.

The moment they sat down and the car began moving, Daniela broke down into tears.

" When did you even have the time to get this done?" She asked, smiling softly while dabbing her tears with some  tissue.

' Wellthe moment I saw the post I started making some calls, I didn't want you to go home feeling down when he had such a great productive day at work, besides you deserve happiness in every form even if that means getting dead drunk.' He said, smiling back.

" For someone with a bad fashion sense, you sure do have a good eye for gifts, thanks. I appreciate it and you, " she giggled, turning to stare out the window.

After about four blocks, they finally got the Morrel's.

"Let's get dead drunk bitch!!" Daniela shouted basically sprinting towards the club doors."

They got settled at the bar and started downing shots without question.

All of a sudden, his favourite song came on, she grabbed her drink and went to the dance floor.
