Chapter 16 – The Confrontation


Suresh could barely focus on his work the entire day. His mind kept replaying Gowtham’s words, the positive loop, the hill station story, and the possibility of finally getting hard again. He wanted the roleplay badly. He also wanted Sneha’s consent, her understanding, even if it was reluctant. He was even ready for mild flirts from Gowtham if that’s what it took.

As soon as he reached home that night, he went straight to Gowtham’s door.
“Come early da… around 8. Let’s talk to her together,” Suresh whispered urgently.
Gowtham shook his head firmly.

“No, anna. This is between you and Anni. Don’t involve me yet. Talk to her directly first.”
An hour later, there was a sharp knock on Gowtham’s door.

When he opened it, Sneha was standing there, her face tight with anger and confusion. She was still in her simple maroon saree from evening.
“Come to our house,” she said coldly.

Gowtham followed her. The moment they entered, the atmosphere felt heavy. Sneha had clearly already rejected Suresh’s idea.
She turned to both men, arms crossed.

“Suresh told me everything. He wants to involve Gowtham in our roleplay. He even said during his drunk state he told you everything and that you were supportive.” She looked at Gowtham with sharp eyes. “What exactly is going on between you two? My daughter is only 10. In 10 years she will be of marriageable age. If Suresh is shameless enough to discuss this with you, how can you entertain such talks?”

Gowtham stayed calm, but inside he was calculating fast. He wasn’t sure how much Suresh had revealed.
He spoke softly, acting innocent and concerned.

“Anni… I’m not interested in any of this. I felt bad that anna was suffering. He blurted everything when he was heavily drunk that night. Even today he asked me to join the discussion. I told him clearly — this should stay between husband and wife. I never wanted to come between you two.”

Sneha still looked suspicious.

Gowtham continued, shifting the entire blame smoothly:
“I respect both of you a lot. Whatever you decide inside your bedroom is your matter. I’m just a neighbor. Please don’t think I have any wrong intentions.”

While saying this, Gowtham gave a quick, subtle wink to Suresh behind Sneha’s back — a clear signal: Take the blame. Make me look innocent.
Suresh understood immediately.

He lowered his head and spoke hesitantly:
“Sneha… it’s my fault. I was the one who brought it up. Gowtham has been nothing but respectful. He even advised me to talk to you properly.”
Sneha looked between them, still angry and confused, but slightly less hostile toward Gowtham.

Gowtham took the opportunity and acted like the good, decent guy.
“This is between you two. I don’t want to be part of any misunderstanding. I’ll leave you both to talk.”
He turned and walked out, closing the door gently behind him.

As soon as he was back in his flat, Gowtham closed his eyes and smiled darkly.
Perfect.

The first crack had appeared. Sneha was angry… but the seed was planted. And Suresh had just thrown himself under the bus to protect Gowtham’s image.

The game was now truly in motion.

Chapter 17 – Cold Winds


The next day, Sneha turned cold.

She barely spoke to Suresh in the morning. No morning tea brought to the bed, no casual conversation while he got ready for office. When he tried to talk, her replies were short and sharp. The warmth that had always existed between them — even after years of fading passion — felt suddenly frozen.

She hated it.

Not just the fantasy. She hated that her husband had shared their most intimate problems with another man. That too with Gowtham — someone who lived right opposite, someone she had started treating like family. The fact that Suresh had dragged him into their bedroom matters, even as roleplay, made her feel exposed, cheap, and deeply uncomfortable.

Friday evening, she went alone to bring Ramya back from the hostel. She didn’t ask Suresh to accompany her like she usually did. When she returned with their daughter, she maintained a normal face in front of Ramya — smiling, cooking her favourite food, asking about college. But the moment Ramya went to sleep, the cold wall came back up.

Suresh felt the distance growing.

---

Saturday night, after Ramya slept, Suresh went to Gowtham’s flat as usual for drinks. He looked defeated.

“I spoiled everything, da,” he said, taking a large sip of whiskey. “She’s barely talking to me. She’s angry that I discussed our personal matters with you. I think I pushed too hard.”

Gowtham poured him another drink and smiled calmly.
“All for good, anna.”
Suresh looked at him, confused.

Gowtham leaned back, looking relaxed and confident.

“Don’t walk around with a failed face. Keep your head straight. Walk like a man in front of her. Let her get confused. Let her wonder why you’re suddenly calm even after she rejected you. That confusion is important.”
He laughed lightly, then turned serious.

“It’s okay. I will help you. There’s a reason I asked you to save my image in front of her yesterday. Now she sees me as the decent, respectful guy who doesn’t want to come between you two. That’s exactly where I wanted to be.”

Gowtham took a sip and continued:
“Before we take the next decision, let’s speak clearly. We cannot rush this anymore. If we push too hard now, she will close off completely. We need to play this smart.”
He looked at Suresh with sharp, calculating eyes.

“Tell me honestly, anna… how angry is she right now? And how much are you ready to do to bring back the spark?”

Suresh stared into his glass, silent for a long time.
The game had entered a dangerous new phase.

Gowtham waited patiently, a quiet, satisfied smile playing on his lips.

[Krish World]

Very nice narration.

Now Gowtham will make him tell every secret about sneha. About her body, moles, size, interests, positions, outdoor location, food, dressing etc etc. Next day he will tell everything to sneha and sneha will start hating her husband and thank gowtham for supporting her and she will rest on his shoulder. He will then convince her to help her husband and play a game in front of him. But he will ensure the he lose the game but win sneha and make her slave to his monster cock. Also, gowtham will impregnate her convincing her to punish suresh for his deeds.

Chapter 18 – The Line of Doubt


Suresh sat on Gowtham’s sofa, staring into his glass, looking completely defeated.

“I think it’s over, Gowtham,” he said quietly. “Everything is spoiled now. Instead of understanding me, she’s angry. She looked at me like I’m some kind of pervert. I feel so low… I dragged a third person into our marriage and got caught. I don’t have the confidence to even face her properly. Her eyes… they were burning me. I’ve never seen her look at me like that in all these years.”

Gowtham poured him another drink and spoke calmly.
“Anna, this is expected. And honestly… this is very good.”
Suresh looked up, confused. “How is this good?”
Gowtham smiled gently.

“Because she is loyal, anna. She sees you as her prime person — her confidant, her trustworthy partner. The reason she is so angry is because she feels you broke that trust by sharing something so intimate with me. That’s exactly why I told you to speak to her alone first. But you mentioned my name… that’s why her anger is focused on you right now.”

Suresh rubbed his face.
“I understand what you’re saying… but what do I do now? I feel like I should just apologize and drop everything.”
Gowtham shook his head firmly.

“No. Don’t surrender so easily. If you go and apologize now, you will look like you did something wrong. You only asked for help to fix a problem in your marriage. That’s all. Don’t carry hatred or anger towards her. Just relax. Give her some time. She will understand one day.”
He leaned forward, eyes sharp.

“But I need clear answers from you, anna. Are you still on the same page? Do you still want to try bringing me into the roleplay? And tell me honestly — how angry is she right now? How much are you ready to do to bring the spark back?”
Suresh stayed silent for a long time.

Gowtham waited patiently, then spoke again, his voice low and serious.
“This is for your own good, anna. What next? Are you still willing?”
Suresh finally looked up, voice hesitant.

“I’m not sure… I’m confused. First I want to fix this misunderstanding between us.”
Gowtham smiled.

“No need to drop your level. As I said before, don’t put yourself in a position where you look guilty. You are the husband. You told her what you need. Simple.”

He paused, then added with quiet confidence:

“I promise you — I will reverse this situation in one week. If you trust me.”
Suresh stared at him.
“Are you sure?”

“Yes,” Gowtham said firmly. “But I need to know one thing clearly.”
He looked straight into Suresh’s eyes.

“How far are you ready to go with my inclusion in your game?”
The question hit Suresh like a punch.

For the first time, a spark of real doubt entered his mind. This young, sturdy man sitting in front of him — someone he had started trusting — was now directly asking how much he was willing to let him do with his own wife.

Is he just helping…?
Or is he lusting after Sneha?
Does he actually want to fuck her?

Suresh felt a strange tightness in his chest. A mix of fear, shame… and an unexpected, dark thrill.
He didn’t answer immediately.

Gowtham waited, watching him with calm, unreadable eyes.

Chapter 19 – Drawing the Line 


Suresh stared at Gowtham for a long moment, his heart pounding. The question had been burning in his mind. He finally asked, voice hesitant:
“Gowtham… be honest with me. Do you have lust for Sneha?”

Gowtham looked at him directly, then let out a small sigh.

“Let me answer you clearly,” he said, voice steady and serious. “Yes, Sneha is a beautiful woman. Any man would want her. But she is my Anni…she is my only women friend in Bangalore... she is also my brother like person's wife. I’m helping you because I genuinely feel bad for you.”

He paused for a second, then continued with raw honesty:

“Yes, let me be completely honest. If I could get Anni in bed one day, that would be my lucky day. I wont deny.. But that’s not my priority here. Not even it crossed my mind anywhere until you ask this.. I worry about three of our relationship too. 

If something like that ever happens, it should only be with your full permission and Anni’s own consent and wish. We can plan it out in the future if it reaches there. Even if nothing like that happens, I’m not worried — because that was never my main intention or plan. Not now or i dont think i would plan out like that in future too.. I cannot be more honest than this.”

Even now, if we proceed our plan after getting her consent my every move will be with your consent and permission. 

Gowtham looked straight into Suresh’s eyes.

“But our priority is different right now. We are doing this to fix your erection problem, not for thrill. Everything else comes later.”
Suresh stayed silent, absorbing the blunt honesty. A strange mix of relief and unease settled in his chest.

Gowtham continued calmly:
“I think you misunderstood my earlier question. When I asked ‘how far are you ready to go’, I meant boundaries. This is a dangerous game. When I helped Rakesh, he clearly told me his limits — flirting, mild touches, even kissing was okay, but no penetrative sex. We drew a clear line before starting. We need to be very careful so that the bond between husband and wife doesn’t break. The fantasy should remain fantasy.”

He leaned back.
“If you doubt my intentions even a little, let’s forget everything right now. We can just watch cricket and stay normal friends. I don’t want any misunderstanding.”

Suresh remained quiet for a long time. He had no one else. At this moment, this young man seemed like the only one who understood his pain and was willing to help without judgment.

He remembered their wild past — making Sneha drop her towel in front of the delivery guy, enjoying the manager’s touches in Chennai. Those small thrills had once made their sex life explosive. He missed that fire badly. He felt like he lacked confidence now. why is he feel risking while he can do it before with strangers.. after all Gowtham is a known person he felt he can control him..

Finally, Suresh spoke, voice heavy:
“I trust you, Gowtham. Before I draw any boundaries, I want to know your plan. I’ve decided to leave it to you. But I have two conditions…”

He took a deep breath.


“But I have two conditions:

1. Fix our misunderstanding. I don’t want this anger to push us further apart, and I don’t want to apologise like I did something wrong. She needs to understand me.
   
2. Get her consent for roleplay first. Let’s try what you did with Rakesh’s wife. Based on your ideas, I will decide the line later.”
   
   

Gowtham listened carefully, then a slow, dark smirk appeared on his lips for a split second before vanishing.
He had finally entered the trap.

Chapter 20 – Gowtham’s Master Plan


Gowtham leaned back on the sofa, his expression turning serious and focused.

“Here’s my plan, anna. I’m going to replicate almost exactly what I did with Rakesh’s wife. It’s simple, but it needs your full cooperation. Some parts may feel like I’m putting you down for a while, but I promise — it will eventually work in your favor.”
Suresh listened with nervous curiosity, his heart racing.

Gowtham continued:
“Our main goal is to get Anni’s consent for roleplay. Right now she’s against it. So we need to influence her mind first.

Step 1: You will fight with her. Be stubborn. Tell her clearly that this is important for you and she needs to at least try the roleplay. Given her nature, she will refuse your adamant demand.
Step 2: You will act a little psycho in front of her — maybe break a plate in anger when I’m around. I will immediately take her side and support her. Seeing me stand up for her, she will naturally lean on me for emotional support. She will vent all her disappointment and anger about you to me. That’s how I’ll enter deep into her friend zone.”

Gowtham’s voice was calm and calculated.

“I won’t seduce her directly. But I will tell her one lie — that you keep pestering me to seduce her and I’m refusing. She will get even angrier at you. You stay stubborn. Give it a week.

Then, in the next week, I’ll tell her another lie — that because I’m not showing interest in seducing her, you’ve decided to bring some friend or colleague from your office to befriend her and do the fantasy instead. This will shock her badly, she feels real danger..

At that point, I’ll convince her that I’m the safest option. I’ll tell her, ‘Let’s just play along with the roleplay so that he doesn’t bring a stranger.’ Slowly she will agree to the roleplay for your sake. Once she starts, she will gradually get used to it.”
Gowtham smiled slightly.

“Meanwhile, you keep your drive active in bed. I will slowly flirt with her in front of you, show some closeness, treat her like my secret lover. She will think I’m doing it only for your sake and just fake it. But you will use all of it to stay aroused and fix your erection issue. This way, she is doing it only for you — not for me, not for cheap thrill. She won’t get emotionally invested in me because she believes it’s just a plan to keep the family safe from real strangers. In the end, when it works, when she see your erection problems go away.. she won’t carry any guilt.”

Suresh sat there stunned, eyes wide with a mix of thrill and nervousness.
“This… this will work,” he whispered, clearly excited. “I’m ready.”

Gowtham nodded, then paused.
“But… there is a small thing, anna.”

Suresh’s heart skipped a beat. He looked at Gowtham anxiously.
“What is it?”

Gowtham looked him straight in the eyes, his expression turning serious.

[heygiwriter]

Chapter 21 – The Agreement


Gowtham hesitated for a few seconds, choosing his words carefully.

“There is one more thing, anna,” he said slowly. “While bringing a third person like a colleague or friend into the story… I may have to tell Sneha that you have a cuckold fantasy. That you like to watch. I know it’s a complete lie, but to create real fear in her mind, I have to say it. Sometimes I’ll have to make you look down… but trust me, it will work in your favor in the end.”

Suresh’s face tightened, but he stayed silent.

Gowtham continued, “I may also need you to create some fake evidence. Use a spare SIM card, type some messages that look like you’re planning to bring in a friend or colleague. I’ll take a photo of those chats and show her at the right time. It will shock her into accepting me as the safer option.”

Suresh stared at him for a long moment, then asked quietly, “What else do you have in your list?”

Gowtham shook his head.

“That’s all for now. But I need your full support and cooperation, anna. If you even slightly doubt me or hesitate midway, not just the plan — our entire relationship will get strained. So think clearly before agreeing.”

Suresh remained silent for almost a minute, then finally nodded.
“I’m in,” he said, voice low. “When should we start this drama?”
Gowtham’s eyes lit up with satisfaction.

“Tomorrow. Right away in the morning. Fight with her. Be stubborn and demand that she at least tries the roleplay. Next day night, I’ll come to your house asking for coffee powder. That’s when you do the plate-breaking scene. I’ll immediately support her.”

Suresh took a deep breath and nodded again.

That night, while Sneha slept in Ramya’s room, Suresh lay awake in bed, staring at the ceiling. A strange mixture of unease, guilt, and dark thrill kept him restless.
Sorry, Sneha… I have to do this.

On the other side of the corridor, Gowtham lay on his bed with a satisfied smile. His plan was finally moving exactly the way he wanted.

Everything was falling into place.

[Dumeelkumar]

This cuck has lost the place of man of the house now when he delegated everything to another man to decide. Gowtham idea is not to solve ED by being close with sneha. instead he want to make him complete cuckold and only spectator and not participator in this. He wants him only to shake his small dick seeing the mating of him and sneha.

[heygiwriter]

Chapter 22 – The First Act


The next morning, the apartment felt heavier than usual.

Suresh woke up with a knot in his stomach. He had barely slept. Part of him wanted to back out, to apologize to Sneha and forget everything. But Gowtham’s words kept ringing in his head — Don’t drop your level. Don’t look guilty.

Sneha was in the kitchen, preparing breakfast in silence. She hadn’t spoken more than a few words to him since the confrontation. Her movements were mechanical, cold.

Suresh stood at the kitchen door, watching her for a moment. Then he took a deep breath and spoke.
“Sneha… we need to talk.”

She didn’t turn around. “I don’t want to talk right now.”
He stepped closer.

“I’m serious. This is important for me. For us.”

Sneha finally turned, her eyes sharp with irritation and hurt.

“Important? You think dragging our neighbor into our bedroom problems is ‘important’? You told him everything, Suresh. Everything about your… issue. And then you asked me to do roleplay with his name? Have you lost your mind?”

Her voice rose slightly.

“We were young and adventurous in our early marriage to have those fun, now we are matured, we have a family, grown child. 

and now This is crossing every limit. I am not some toy for your fantasies. And involving Gowtham — a boy who calls me Anni — feels disgusting.”

Suresh forced himself to stay firm, exactly as Gowtham had instructed.

“I’m not asking you to sleep with him. I’m asking you to try roleplay. Just words. Just fantasy. Why can’t you understand how badly I’m struggling? Nothing else is working. Medicines, doctors — nothing. This might help me. Why are you being so selfish?”
Sneha stared at him in disbelief, her eyes filling with angry tears.

“Selfish? I have been sleeping with you even when I wasn’t in the mood for years. I have supported you through everything. And now you call me selfish because I don’t want to bring another man into our marriage, even in fantasy?”
She laughed bitterly.

“You have changed, Suresh. I don’t even recognize you anymore.”
The argument grew heated. Suresh raised his voice, sticking to the script.

“You have to at least try. For me. For our marriage.”
Sneha shook her head, wiping her tears angrily.

“I need time. Don’t push me.”
She walked away to Ramya’s room and closed the door.
Suresh stood there, chest tight. The guilt was crushing him… but he didn’t apologize.



Next day 

That night, around 9:15 PM, there was a knock on the door.

Sneha opened it. Gowtham stood there with a polite smile.

“Anni, sorry to disturb. Do you have some coffee powder? I ran out.”
Sneha forced a small smile and nodded. “Come in.”

As Gowtham stepped inside, Suresh appeared from the bedroom. The atmosphere was already tense. Sneha gave Suresh a cold glance and went to the kitchen to get the powder.

Suresh saw his chance.

“Why are you behaving like this, Sneha? I told you it’s important for me!”

Sneha came out of the kitchen, irritated.
“Not now, Suresh. Gowtham is here.”
He suddenly raised his voice, loud enough for Gowtham to hear clearly.

The argument escalated quickly. Voices grew louder. Suresh, trying to stay in character, suddenly grabbed a ceramic plate from the dining table and slammed it onto the floor with force.


CRASH!
The plate shattered violently. Sharp pieces flew across the floor.
One jagged piece spun and sliced across Sneha’s bare foot.

“Ahh!” She gasped in pain, instinctively lifting her foot. A small but visible cut appeared, blood slowly welling up.

The moment he stepped inside and saw the scene — broken plate pieces everywhere and Sneha hurt — he moved instantly.

“Anni!”

Gowtham rushed forward without hesitation, ignoring Suresh completely. He knelt in front of Sneha, gently holding her ankle to check the cut.
“Are you okay? Sit down, sit down,” he said urgently, his voice full of concern.

He guided her carefully to the sofa, his strong arm supporting her. Sneha, still in shock and pain, leaned on him slightly as she limped.
Suresh stood frozen near the dining table, watching everything.

Gowtham shot him a sharp, subtle signal with his eyes — Don’t move. Stay there.
From Sneha’s perspective, the scene was devastating.

Her husband — the man who was supposed to protect her — had just broken a plate in anger and was now standing there silently while another man (a younger neighbor) was kneeling in front of her, carefully checking her injured foot.

The protective husband she once knew seemed to have disappeared.
Gowtham looked up at her with genuine-looking worry.
“Anni, it’s a small cut but it’s bleeding. Let me clean it.”

He quickly brought the first-aid box from the shelf (he already knew where it was) and began gently cleaning the wound.

Sneha’s eyes stung with tears — not just from the pain, but from the humiliation and emotional hurt.

Suresh finally spoke, his voice strained but still trying to stay in character.
“I was just asking you… you are making me lose my temper with this attitude. Again I’m telling you — I’m not asking you to sleep with him. This is our game, inside the bedroom. We are just going to use his name.”

Sneha didn’t even look at him. She kept her eyes lowered, lips pressed tightly together.

Gowtham stayed silent, focused on bandaging her foot, playing the perfect supportive neighbor.

Suresh stood there for a few more seconds, feeling a heavy mix of guilt, jealousy, and strange arousal. Then he turned and walked into the bedroom, closing the door behind him.

The moment the door clicked shut, Sneha let out a shaky breath.
Gowtham looked up at her gently.

“Anni… are you okay?”
For the first time, Sneha felt a strange sense of safety with the young man who was kneeling in front of her.

Sneha stumbled back in shock.

[Dumeelkumar]

By staying strong, suresh is going to break the marriage.

[heygiwriter]

Chapter 23 – The Safe Shoulder


The next few minutes after Suresh walked into the bedroom were heavy with silence.
Sneha sat on the sofa, her bandaged foot resting on the coffee table. A single tear rolled down her cheek. Gowtham sat beside her, giving her space but staying close enough to show support.

“Anni… i'm sorry looks like my presence is complicating both of you.. i wanted to tell, if you need to talk or vent out  frustration use me. but i fear if you would take it wrong ... 

Sneha immediately said no.. i don't have anything against you. you did nothing wrong here. its just Suresh is odd 

Sneha wiped her eyes, her voice trembling with hurt and anger.

“Suresh is not realising what he asking is  very wrong, Gowtham. Completely wrong. 

How can a husband ask his wife to do roleplay involving another man? at this age..? Especially someone we know… someone who lives right opposite us? It feels disgusting. Cheap. Like I’m not his wife anymore… just some fantasy object.”

She looked at Gowtham, eyes pained.

“I think by now Suresh would have said a lot than he should... in our early marriage. We were open. Adventurous even. But this? Sharing our private life with you… asking me to use your name in bed… it hurts. It makes me feel disrespected. I’m a mother. I have a 10-year-old daughter. What if this gets out? What kind of example are we setting?  ”

Gowtham listened quietly, nodding with understanding. His voice was gentle and sincere.

“I don’t know why anna is behaving like this, Anni. I really don’t. He was never like this before. I tried telling him to keep it between you two, but he seems very desperate. I’ll speak to him. I promise. I’ll try to bring some sense into him.”

Sneha looked at him gratefully.

“Thank you, Gowtham. At least you understand. I feel so alone right now…”

---

The Week That Followed

The next seven days became a masterclass in Gowtham’s manipulation.
As per the plan, Suresh turned cold and distant toward Sneha. He barely spoke to her. The only words he uttered were cold and repetitive:
“Have you thought about the roleplay? Are you ready yet?”

Sneha’s anger and hurt only deepened. She stopped responding properly. Communication between husband and wife almost died.
Meanwhile, Gowtham — who worked from home four days a week — started spending more time in their house.

He would come over with small excuses:

• “Anni, can I work from your hall today? My AC is not working properly.”
  
• “I made extra filter coffee, would you like some?”
  
• “Ramya’s drawing book… I brought a new one for her.”
  

Sneha, feeling emotionally abandoned by Suresh, slowly started opening up to him. At first it was just polite talk. Then it became longer conversations over coffee. She began venting about Suresh’s stubbornness, her disappointment, and how hurt she felt.
Gowtham became the perfect listener.

He never pushed. He never flirted directly. He simply supported her.
“You’re right, Anni. He should understand your feelings first.”
“I told him the same thing, but he’s not listening.”
“You don’t deserve this stress.”

By the end of the week, Gowtham had become Sneha’s first go-to person.

Whenever she felt low, she would message him or call him over for coffee. They would sit in the hall or on the balcony, talking for hours. She laughed at his jokes. She shared small complaints about Suresh. She even started looking forward to his visits.

Suresh watched everything silently from the sidelines — exactly as planned.
The distance between husband and wife had grown wider.

And Gowtham stood right in the middle — the trusted friend, the safe shoulder, the understanding neighbor.


Friday Evening


Sneha asked Gowtham to help bring Ramya back from the hostel. He drove the car while she sat in the passenger seat.
On the way to hostel, Gowtham decided it was time to move to the next lie.

“Anni… I’m scared to tell you this,” he said hesitantly.
Sneha looked at him. “Come on, tell me. What’s bothering you? Is Suresh again asking you to convince me for the roleplay?”

Gowtham shook his head.
“No. It’s more than that now.”
Sneha frowned. “What?”

He paused dramatically, then said in a low voice:
“He asked me to seduce you.”

Sneha froze, stunned.

[heygiwriter]

Chapter 24 – The Protective Lie


Sneha’s eyes widened in pure fury the moment the words left Gowtham’s mouth.

“He asked you to seduce me?” Her voice shook with rage. “That bastard… I will kill him today. How dare he—”
She started to dial his phone number, but Gowtham quickly caught her wrist gently but firmly.
“Anni, stop. Please.”

Sneha tried to pull away, but Gowtham didn’t let go.
“Ramya is staying with us for the next two days, right? Do you really want to fight and create a big scene in front of her? She’s only 10. She’ll get scared.”

Sneha froze. The mention of her daughter hit her hard, helplessness filled her eyes.
Gowtham spoke softly, his voice full of concern:

“Give me some time. Just two days. I will try to make him understand. You need to trust me on this. If you want to fight him, you can… but can you assure me it won’t affect Ramya? What if Suresh behaves like a psycho again… like that time he threw the plate in front of us? what if he blurt with anger when ramya is around.. He is completely blinded right now. He has been reading too many blogs and stories about cuckold fantasies. His erection problem is pushing him into this madness.”

Sneha stared at him, breathing heavily, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Gowtham continued, his tone sincere and protective:
“I know this is not right. But right now is not the time to confront him aggressively. You should speak with him openly, yes… but I worry he will only try to convince you instead of understanding your feelings. Give me two days. He just asked me this today. After all, it’s me he is involving. I’m in control here. I know what is best. I promise you… I will fix this for you.”

Sneha looked at him for a long moment — confused, hurt, but strangely comforted by his calm presence. She slowly nodded.
“Okay… two days. But if he says even one more disgusting thing, I won’t stay quiet.”

Just then, the sound of the college bell came.

Gowtham immediately changed his expression to a normal, friendly one.

“Forget all this for now. Ramya is here. Don’t say anything in front of her. I’ll take care of the issue. You just relax.”
Sneha wiped her tears quickly and forced a smile as she went to pick her daughter.

While Sneha hugged her daughter, Gowtham glanced toward the phone with her husband number kept on car dashboard. 

A dark, satisfied smirk crossed his lips for a split second.

Chapter 25 – The Web Tightens


The moment Ramya came home, Sneha shifted all her focus to her daughter. She wanted to shield her from the growing tension in the house. For the next two days, she became the perfect mother — cooking Ramya’s favourite meals, helping with homework, playing games, and sleeping beside her at night. She barely looked at Suresh.

She had decided to trust Gowtham. He had promised he would speak to Suresh and sort things out. She hoped he would.

Sunday Night

As usual, Suresh slipped out after Ramya slept and went to Gowtham’s flat for drinks.
He looked tense. The cold shoulder from Sneha over the last two days had shaken him badly.
Gowtham poured him a stiff drink and casually said, “So… how did it go?”

Suresh took a big sip and shook his head.
“She’s furious. She’s not talking properly. I don’t know what to do anymore.”
Gowtham leaned back, calm as ever.

“I already told her something big today.”
Suresh looked up sharply. “What did you tell her?”
Gowtham smirked.

“I told her the truth… or at least a version of it. I said you asked me to seduce her.”
Suresh’s eyes widened in shock.

“What?! Why the hell did you say that?!”
Gowtham raised his hand calmly.

“Relax, anna. I told you I will pitch a lot of lies. You just wait and watch. By next week, she will be the one initiating the roleplay talk with you. Trust the process.”

Suresh looked extremely tense, but after a long silence, he nodded slowly. He had come too far to back out now.
Gowtham continued:

“Also, get a new fake SIM card tomorrow. I want you to send yourself some messages from that number — nasty ones. Like you’re inviting that new person to see your wife, talking about sharing her, dirty things. Make it look real. I’ll show those chats to her at the right time.”
Suresh panicked.

“Are you serious? What if she thing bad about me.. i cant

Gowtham said, anna this was in our plan, she neeeds to think its real.. she will think it better to do role play than inviting a stranger, thats the gist. 

Trust me.. 
Gowtham smiled confidently.

“Trust me, anna. I know what I’m doing. This is necessary.”

Two Days Later – Tuesday Morning

Gowtham took the day off.
At around 10:30 AM, he knocked on Suresh and Sneha’s door.

Sneha opened it, surprised to see him so early.
“Gowtham? you didnt go to office? Anything urgent?”

Gowtham’s face looked serious, almost worried.
“Anni… we need to talk. Right now. It’s important.”

Sneha’s expression changed. She could sense something heavy in his tone.
She stepped aside and let him in, closing the door behind him.

“What happened?” she asked, voice laced with panic. “Is it about Suresh again? What has he done now?”
Gowtham looked at her with a grave expression.

“Suresh is doing something unimaginable, Anni. I didn’t want to tell you… but I think you should know.”
and this time we have to take a decision. 

Sneha’s heart started beating faster. She had no idea what fresh bomb Gowtham was about to drop on her.
