Maisy hung up the phone and immediately opened WhatsApp to view the video Christopher had sent. As soon as she played it, her expression changed drastically.
The footage showed Maisy and Kenny hugging and kissing in the car. She had been at a bar that night, and Kenny had caught her there. In a desperate attempt to win his trust and ensure that he kept their secret from their families, Maisy had gone to great lengths.
Maisy, however, wasn’t particularly bothered by moral standards. She could even accept it if Kenny wanted to sleep with her. But while she could come to terms with it, she knew that others, particularly their families, would never accept it. The Williams family could never find out about this video.
Maisy could hardly believe how despicable Christopher was—he had actually followed her.
Determined to handle the situation, Maisy bit her lip and forwarded the video to Kenny. She included a pitiful emoji to convey her distress.
Her message read: “Kenny, someone filmed us in the car that night and is blackmailing me for one million dollars. I don’t have that much money—I’m still 500 thousand dollars short. Could you transfer that amount to me? Our family can never know about us. I couldn’t bear the guilt, and it would also implicate you.”
When Kenny watched the video Maisy had sent, his face flushed with embarrassment. He had never imagined that someone would record their intimate moment in the car and use it to blackmail her.
Maisy had already been feeling bad because of her feelings for Kenny. She knew that the video falling into the wrong hands could be disastrous for both of them.
At that thought, Kenny felt a pang of guilt. Despite the complexity of their situation, he understood that he could not let her down. Maisy genuinely cared for him, and that was something he couldn’t ignore.
He immediately called her. “Maisy, where are you now?”
“Kenny, I’m outside. I’m scared, and I don’t know what to do. I know it’s a video of us, but I didn’t want this to happen either. I can’t control my feelings. I’m truly in love with you.” Maisy’s distressed, helpless cries pulled at Kenny’s heart. No woman had ever shown him love that was so humble and desperate.
“I’ll transfer one million to you now, and you’ll pay the person. Make sure they delete the video. Don’t worry, Maisy. I’ll protect you,” Kenny promised, his voice serious.
No matter what would happen in the future or how things would turn out between them, he knew he had to protect her.
“Thank you, Kenny. I know my feelings for you are wrong and shameful. But whenever I’m in danger, you’re always there to protect me. I love you, Kenny,” Maisy replied, her voice thick with emotion.
Kenny’s eyes reddened slightly as he heard those words.
“Maisy, loving someone isn’t something you can control. Your feelings for me aren’t wrong. It’s just that I have a lot to figure out right now and can’t give you a definite answer. But remember, loving me doesn’t make you a bad person.”
Maisy, still sobbing, answered, “Thank you, Kenny. I’ll listen to your advice. Please don’t let Mom and Dad find out about this. They would never approve. To them, my feelings are absolutely wrong.”
Kenny promised Maisy he would keep her secret.
After hanging up, Kenny immediately transferred one million dollars to Maisy. With this transfer, most of his remaining savings were gone.
The recent family crises had drained his finances. Peter, his father, could no longer give him any more money, and Kenny’s excessive spending habits meant that his salary was never enough to sustain his lifestyle. His family had always provided for him, but now he regretted not saving more.
As he stared at his dwindling account balance, he couldn’t help but regret his past extravagance.
Maisy, upon receiving the money, immediately transferred half of it to Christopher.
“Don’t you dare follow me or try to film me again,” she warned him, her voice cold and firm. “This is the second time I’m giving you money, and it’ll be the last. If you do this again, I’ll make sure you regret it!”
Her words were clear, and she meant every one of them.
