Published 5/29/2023Jackie, a determined and resilient wife living in the Middle East, embarks on a quest to unravel the mysteries behind her philandering husband's betrayal and try find the justice she deserves, all while facing immense obstacles that test her wit and might.

Jackie looked at herself in the mirror, inspecting her reflection. She had never been vain but she always put effort into her appearance. Tonight was not just a night out, it was the culmination of weeks of planning and preparation.
After months of emotional abuse, Jackie had decided to take action and seek revenge on her husband, Lorenz. She went to great lengths to research his illicit behavior and track his movements. With her training as an accountant and with the help of a private investigator, she uncovered information about his many lovers. The last straw came when she discovered he was having an affair with one of her friends from work. Jackie knew she couldn’t confront him directly because Lorenz would inevitably lie or change the subject entirely. No, she would have to be more cunning than that.
Jackie started by researching what exactly would be considered cheating in this culture. There are many women who tolerate their husbands’ indiscretions, but they all live in fear of being publicly humiliated by their own family members - the red wedding dress is still a powerful symbol of shame in Middle Eastern society. If the woman’s name is linked to the affair, it can destroy her reputation and cause irreparable damage to her marriage. Therefore most wives seek revenge through private channels using various methods like murder or public humiliation - the latter causing a greater degree of disgrace for both parties than the former. Jackie had thought long and hard about whether she wanted to kill him or ruin his reputation; murder seemed like too much work so she decided on the latter option - a more traditional method based on cultural norms that did not involve murder or physical abuse. She planned everything meticulously for weeks before finally putting her plan into action tonight at a masquerade ball held at The Four Seasons Hotel in Doha, Qatar where they were vacationing for their anniversary trip after many years of marriage.
Jackie placed the mask on top of her head perfectly so it covered all of her face except her eyes which were outlined with black eyeliner. She had watched videos on YouTube over and over again until she perfected the technique to apply eye makeup that made her eyes look large and mysterious without looking like a clown or excessively provocative, which would be inappropriate for a married woman attending a formal ball without her husband present. The mask was white and covered most of her hairline, which had been straightened and styled numerous times until it fell flawlessly against her neckline as if gravity itself caved in under its weight. Jackie wore an elegant white dress that hugged every curve on her body perfectly, making it seem like she wasn’t wearing anything at all. She even started shaving parts of her body so there wouldn’t be any stray hairs that could break through the illusion created by the dress, but she also made sure to wear underwear beneath the dress just in case something went wrong during the evening’s festivities.
Once again Jackie examined herself in the mirror and nodded approvingly - she was ready for tonight’s mission. It was time to see if everything went according to plan as well as destroy whatever shred of respect Lorenz had left for her as a wife today!
Jackie slipped out of their hotel room while Lorenz slept soundly in bed after drinking too much alcohol earlier that night (he always did). She hoped he didn’t notice how much money was missing from their joint bank account - it was hard saving up enough money from their monthly allowance, but it paid off when she finally managed to convince him to stay here for their anniversary trip after he complained about how expensive everything was here compared to other places they visited before visiting Qatar. . . including California, where he had once lived! Jackie took out one more credit card from behind some photographs hanging on the wall and drove away from The Four Seasons Hotel towards Doha City Center, where there was an industrial area behind some warehouses, secluded from the public.
Lorenz woke up early enough this morning (an hour ago) while Jackie pretended to sleep soundly so he could go out drinking with some other men from work yesterday evening without worrying about being alone with Jackie - they hadn’t spoken much since arriving at Qatar because both parties weren’t willing to make polite conversation unless absolutely necessary, especially given how tense things were between them lately due to his behavior towards Jackie recently! He remembered how things used to be before he moved abroad for his job. . . everything was perfect then! He couldn’t tell what changed but after moving abroad, things started going downhill quickly, leading up to this very moment when Jackie actually left him alone here in Doha, thinking he was sleeping soundly, unaware that his wife was plotting against him behind his back.
Jackie arrived at an abandoned warehouse adjacent to several others that looked similar, except each one differed slightly in color. It wasn't clear what went inside each one, but no one cared anyway because these warehouses were all abandoned by now. She tied her hair up neatly into a bun, ensuring that no stray hairs would fly around once the confrontation commenced.
