Gwen packed the materials together with care meticulously placing them in the brown paper box and wrapping it tightly and lovingly. They were the most illicit acts caught on film and video ever put together. Some where captured with Bens knowledge and other in secret.

As she taped and tied the box fear and anxiety took a harsh grip on Gwen heart, like an overzealous loving grabbing their partner too hard. She hoped Ben wouldn’t get angry or take it as her over stepping her boundaries. She had know Ben for the past 5 years and while admittedly she had started sleeping with him as a power move to help her career wise and financially, but somewhere along the lines everything had changed.

Every morning when she would greet the stern corporate lawyer with coffee and her soft smile she could feel her heart fill with butterflies, and yes her heart not her stomach. Gone was the angst of quartering someone new, Ben and her had already done almost everything any one could think of except maybe just spending quiet nights together. She would melt as he would pour the small store bought shot of Irish whiskey in his coffee and make some clever quip about having to have thick skin when swimming in a sea full of sharks. She chuckled to herself thinking about how much better he was at thinking on his feet and cracking clever quips then she was. Still that’s why they were meant to be. She was his ying and he was her yang. For all of Bens talent he had difficulty at times tapping into his emotion, be it being sensitive or even just letting go and having fun.

That’s where she came in. Since day one she had always been able to make Ben smile and laugh and not the kind of fake smile or chuckle he would shoot at clients when they attempted to joke or be charming but a genuine deep from the belly face red type of smile or laugh that interestingly enough she had noticed only she could bring out of him. Aside from that she was one of the only people who truly understood the man and the only one he had ever truly opened up too. It was a sweet treat to see one of the sternest gruffest of men melt and become vulnerable around you.

It was because of all this that Gwen had to do what she was about to do. Amber didn’t deserve Ben; she didn’t love him , she had proven that long ago. The only people Amber cared about was herself and baby Ava. When Ben had custody of Brenden, she wasn’t there for him and had no patience for the boy. She had never been caring or sensitive to Bens needs and it was a big part of why Ben was how he was. When he saw how she never got along with Brenden and how she had no patience for the boy Ben changed, and when he sent Brenden back with his mom well Ben was never the same. Sure now Amber had started taking Paxil and was caring and attentive but fuck that. That wasn’t the real Amber Hernandez nor would she ever love Ben like she did.

So today she would do what was necessary and expose her and Bens tumultuous affair. She would show them in the most intimate of acts and reveal their savory and steamy acts. In the end it was for Ben. He needed to wake up and leave the prissy moody bitch behind and move on with their life. He needed to go back to being the sweet caring man he was when she had first started sleeping with him.

In the beginning she was the cold one. She could play it off but never did she expect to have these feelings for the older attorney who was about to make partner. When she first installed the hidden camera in her bedroom vanity, she thought it would be for leverage or black mail and here she was using it to severe there relationship.

It wasn’t out of spite, although the past few weeks might make it appear so. Since Amber had started taking the Paxil she had changed. Gone were the fits of anger, outburst, violent reactions. Irons tossed into walls and scratch marks on Ben Gwen knew all of Ambers dark secret outburst and she had grown to resent Amber in light of the way she had treated Brenden. Things that should be left unsaid to a child and actions that should never occur.

Still it was what and was and hopefully with this package it would be the end of what was. Hopefully, Amber would see what they had and fall back into the shadows like one of the many times that’s she had said or attempted to leave him before.

She understood tho Ben had a sort of irresistible strength and magnetism to him that was undeniable. It was evident at first. At first he could just come off as a pompous arrogant jerk, but once you got a taste and got to know the man it hit like a 10ft wave. The more comfortable he became the he would reveal his vulnerabilities, sensitivities and insecurities. It was seeing this balance, contrast and way of secretly handling things that turned Gwens panties into a rain forest.

Now as a drugged up Amber threatened to ruin everything Gwen knew she had to act fast. Lately she could feel herself closer and closer to losing Ben as he promised to start being loyal and focusing on Amber and Ava she had to carry out her strong dark plan and had to be prepared to send Amber over the edge. With any luck maybe she would commit suicide or take off never to be heard from again allowing her and Ben to finally be happy. They could get Brenden back and start a new. Deep down she knew it would be what was best. Ben would be her king and Brenden her handsome prince. It would be perfection and the happy ending they all deserved. She just couldn’t wait.

She knew that at first she rant the risk of angering Ben. In fact most likely he would be livid at the start but without Amber in the picture surely Ben would fall into the comfort of her arms and bed at the end or the night. Then finally the man would get treasured the way he deserved, and should Amber have the courage to confront her she would handle the situation with class and strength professing and reaffirming her and Bens love as many times as it took to get Amber out of the picture.

Gwen laughed wickedly as she sealed and taped the box neatly. Yes she would make the perfect wife for Ben she thought to herself and found herself smiling with a deep sense of satisfaction.

She looked at the box with pride, her body growing warm with excitement. Yes it was just a matter of time know she thought to herself. Soon she would give Ben the ending he deserved.
