Estranged Siblings: Ep27
Back in the playroom, Lindsay was busy with Brigette’s laptop.
“Which forum are you posting it to?” Mary asked with a grin.
“Under r/MassiveCock, of course!” Lindsay giggled.
“Ooo! Don’t forget to cross-post it to r/HotWife, r/Cuckold, and r/NSFWHardcore!” Mary gasped excitedly.
Lindsay nodded and watched the file transfer.
“There’s no way this is going to get back to Steph or Brigette, right?” Mary asked, suddenly nervous.
Lindsay shook her head. “I stripped the tags from the video, I’m posting it anonymously, and Brigette’s laptop is using a VPN to hide her IP address.”
Mary gave her friend an impressed look. “You know your shit!”
Lindsay nodded with a proud smile. “Who do you think installed the VPN on her machine? I swear, most people know nothing about taking these precautions.”
“Greg and his boy toy did, but they still got caught,” Mary reminded her.
“They started the attack in a closed school network. Idiots!” Lindsay said scornfully.
When the upload was done, they sat back and smiled at each other. They’d drop a few hints in a few inboxes tonight when they got home. They couldn’t wait to see the explosions this would create.
This school year was going to end with a bang!

At eleven-thirty, just before he headed off to bed with his frigid wife Ilsa, Derek Savage received a call from Keith Danson, senior partner at the law firm he worked for. The man had never called him at home and certainly never this late.
“Hello?”
“Derek? This is Keith Danson.”
“Yes, Mr. Danson. What can I do for you?”
The older man sighed. “A very serious breach of ethics has been reported to me by Bennington, of all people.”
Derek couldn’t stop the snort from escaping as everyone in the law firm was aware of the man’s inability to resist a skirt. He was one of the original four at the firm, so that gave him some immunity.
“Yes, I agree,” the man said, then cleared his throat. “Unfortunately, this breach affects you.”
Derek froze. “What?”
“Bennington found a video posted on something called a subreddit forum, called HotWife. He sent me a link, and I admit I watched it. In the video… your wife is having sex with a student, presumably at her school.”
“WHAT?” Derek yelled.
“I assume by your response that you were unaware of her activities?” Keith asked gently.
“No… I mean, yes. I had no idea, sir. I can’t believe it,” he whispered, stunned by the betrayal… but not.
“I’ll send you the link, but Bennington insisted the video is… what did he say… trending? It can be easily found… by you and by our firm’s clients. Your wife is very identifiable in the video. This brings me to the unfortunate task of letting you know the firm will be forced to terminate your employment.”
“What?” he gasped.
“The scandal this will cause is going to shake the confidence of our client base. It might even jeopardize some cases we’re currently working on. I’m sorry, Derek. You’re a damn good lawyer, but Bennington got the other senior partners to agree to this before he contacted me. There’s nothing I can do.”
“I see. I’m sorry to place you in this circumstance, but truthfully, I didn’t see it coming,” he admitted.
“She’s your blind spot,” Keith said gently.
“What the heart wants is not necessarily the smartest choice,” Derek agreed.
There was a moment of silence. “Damn, I’m going to miss you at the firm,” the old man sighed.
Derek felt a lump in his throat. “I’m going to miss working with you as well, sir.”
“When you come in tomorrow to collect your things, do your best to ignore anything that lech Bennington might say. He really is a piece of human trash, and you’re a far better man than he’ll ever be. I’d like to take you out to lunch if that would be okay,” Danson suggested.
Derek smiled. “I’d like that.”
“You’re going to land on your feet, son. You’re too good of a lawyer to do less.”
“Thank you, sir. Please send me the link. I need to know what’s she’s done so I can take steps to get my life back.”
“Will do. See you tomorrow,” Keith replied.
Derek hung up and walked back to his desk. He dropped himself into his chair, dropped his cell onto the surface, then rubbed his face with his hands. After a few breaths, he reached over and powered up his laptop, and took it through the login process. Checking his mail, he saw some messages from Danson. One was the termination notice with the official document attached. The second was just a link. Bracing himself, he clicked on the link.
He wasn’t as prepared as he thought when the video began playing. She was so lovely, even with those ridiculously large breasts. Seeing her cheating felt like a punch in the gut.
But it hurt less than it might have if he hadn’t had so many nights of her bitter words and looks. Maybe he was more prepared than he thought.
Then he caught the expression on her partner’s face. He wasn’t smiling. Huh.
Derek saved a copy of the video locally, then read the document Danson sent him. It was damning and would seriously jeopardize his chances of landing another partnership in any of the larger corporate law firms. He saw Bennington’s hand at work. The man had it in for him, but there was nothing he could do to prove that.
He leaned back in his chair and cast his eyes over the pictures on his office walls. Many had been taken at the firm’s parties. Ilsa looked so good in many of them, but he could see Bennington in some, watching his wife with covetous eyes. Derek snorted. He could have her.
“So… what’s next for Derek?” he thought.
His eyes landed on a picture of him on the beach with his college buddies. Freddie had the widest smile of the bunch as he’d gotten laid the night before. The man had phenomenal luck with the ladies. How he ended up a divorce lawyer was beyond Derek’s understanding, but the man had made a very successful career out of it.
Derek froze as he remembered Fred offering him a job if he ever tired of working at a stuffy old firm.
He picked up his cell and sent a text to him. “You up?”
Seconds later, the response came back. “Yes. Are you okay, man?”
Once more, Derek fought back a lump in his throat. Freddie knew. “Not so good. You saw?”
Freddie was a little larger than life, so his answer to that was immediate and bold.
“Buddy, she doesn’t deserve you! Give me the word, and I will crush her in the courtroom!”
Derek smiled. He knew he could rely on his friend.
“I was terminated from my position at the firm. Distancing themselves from the scandal.”
“COME WORK WITH ME! PLEASE!”
Derek laughed as he saw the emojis of dancing and praying people. He realized he wanted this. Working with Freddie would lift his spirits like nothing else, and he really needed it.
“I’m going to take you up on both offers. I want to hire you to represent me in the divorce, and I’d like to join your firm. If you’re willing to take on a lawyer tainted by this scandal.”
“YA, BABY! THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME!” flashed back on his cell. “You need to get out of that house right now. Come over to my place and we’ll get started!”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Derek chuckled to himself, feeling better already. He nodded. “See you shortly,” he texted back.
He had a plan and a promise to uphold to Mr. Danson.
He was going to land on his feet.
If Ilsa got kicked to the curb and driven over by a garbage truck in the process, too bad for her.
Cassandra smiled as she enjoyed the feeling of warmth from the delicious breakfast Andre made her this morning. She couldn’t get over how doting he’d been last night when she got home and this morning. Dinner had been one of her favorites. Delicious spaghetti with a rich meat sauce. He got her a little single serving of ice cream for dessert, and while he cleaned up, he got her situated on the couch to watch a movie. He joined her and gave her a foot massage afterward. Her breakfast this morning was ready after she got dressed.
She thought he was a little over-eager, which rang some alarm bells for her, but he assured her he just wanted to make sure she was happy.
She collected her carryall and slipped on her shoes as she unlocked the front door. She turned back to smile at him as she pulled the door open. He returned her smile, then it dropped away suddenly as he looked past her. She turned to look and saw Principal Wallace standing in the hallway with two other men she didn’t recognize.
