As I lounged at my desk in my office, my feet resting atop it, I released a plume of smoke from my mouth and fixed my gaze on McNabb as he confidently strode toward Karissa's cosmetic salon.

I was already familiar with Karissa prior to our initial meeting, having discovered her through McNabb's social media page. A month prior, his business had appeared in my Instagram suggestions, and out of curiosity, I clicked on it. His posts showcased his business and vehicles, along with pictures of her, making her presence known even before we'd met.

The sight of his happiness filled me with a sense of frustration and resentment when I remembered how he had made my professional and romantic life a constant source of misery.

Audi in Kingston had once been the go-to destination for car enthusiasts seeking the latest models and premium pre-owned vehicles. With a steady stream of customers and two consecutive years as the top-selling automotive dealership, the future looked bright.

However, all of that changed with the arrival of McNabb and his business partner, who opened their own dealership called Ragsdale Inc.

The duo brought a new level of luxury and sophistication to the car-buying experience and soon, customers from all over the region were flocking to Ragsdale to purchase the latest Audi models and even the premium pre-owned ones.

Their dealership's sales skyrocketed, cementing its position as the leading automotive retailer in Jamaica, while the sales at my dealership slowed.

And for my romantic life? Well, Crystal Jones, was actually the love of my life until McNabb came into the picture.

Crystal loved me dearly, and I loved her just as deeply.

Our relationship was built on mutual understanding, trust, and passion. We had plans for a future together, filled with happiness and laughter. That is until McNabb entered the picture and turned everything upside down.

Crystal met McNabb at her old workplace, Ibex, around October or November of last year.

The exact timeline remains hazy, but I've chosen to mark the start of their relationship as October, as it was around this time that Crystal began keeping secrets from me and acting suspiciously.

Whether it was a chance encounter or a planned meeting, it marked the beginning of a dramatic change in both of our lives. As their relationship developed, I could see the effects it had on Crystal, who became more and more distant from me.
