The Powerful Dustin Rodriguez

"Can you just be sensible for once in your life!" a young man not more than a year older than Dustin yelled at him.

He couldn't do anything right again. Being a cleaner in that restaurant had brought nothing but stains on him everywhere he went. People never respected him, but he didn't mind.

All thanks to his boss too, Michael, who always embarrassed him everywhere he saw him.

A year ago, his wish was granted to him. He got married to a beautiful woman, Laura and he had been content with that. Yes, he was poor and needed money, which was why he was hardworking and tried all his best.

Dustin was a graduate with a great result, but finding a good job had just been too hard.

"I'm sorry sir." He quickly apologized to his boss. "It's just that, I need this money, and you'll remove it from my salary! If only you could give me a small loan sir, I would really like that."

"Useless man! Did you not hear of the crises our restaurant is facing? How can you still ask me such a ridiculous request?" the man said, yelling out now.

His boss, Michael continued yelling at him, causing a scene in the restaurant.

"Did you use deodorant, Dustin? Everywhere reeks here." His boss said again, cutting Dustin off.

Dustin ignored his statement and went on.

"I don't understand sir. I work very hard, I just want a salary advance, maybe?"

"Ha! So you can run away with my money? Listen to me, you filth, you're nothing but a cleaner here, so go do your fucking job! Else, you'll be fired!"

A chubby short lady walked over to Dustin, frowning. "Remember your promise to me, once you get this month's salary you pay me my money! Else I'll call the cops on you!"

"Yasmine, I'm sorry I haven't paid you yet--" Dustin was still saying but the lady shut him off with a wave.

"That's final. How can you have no shame! Hmmp! Borrowing money from a lady!"

Yasmine was a colleague of his, and he had to borrow some money from her some days ago, thinking he would have been able to repay her.

Outside on his way home, he bowed his head and took in a moment to enjoy the fresh air.

"It's our anniversary today," he thought to himself. He had plans of taking her out to a fine restaurant and celebrating their love together. Even if he would be spending all the money he had left.

He had hoped his boss would give him a loan, so he could pay Yasmine her money and take care of his wife with the little he would have left.

But then again, he didn't want to stress her as she'd been a little bit preoccupied with work lately. She would always flare at the littlest of things. She was under a lot of pressure at work looking for promotion.

Damn it, how could he go home without buying any gift for her?

With the last money in his account, he decided to head into a mall and get her a bracelet.

His wife has always loved jewelry, and asked for gifts from him all the time. Now was the perfect time to get it for her.

He heaved in a deep sigh, then walked in to get the bracelet for his wife. He had to visit the cheap section where he could get something worth that price.

On getting home, he saw the door was wide open. His brows furrowed as he thought of who might have left the door open.

"Wait, what if?...is she alright?"

Immediately, he hurried inside and checked around for a weapon of some kind. He needed to protect his wife! What if someone was in there already?

His eyes caught a stick just around the corner and he grabbed it quickly. The expression on his face seemed to squeeze into a soured one as he arrived further upstairs.

What he heard was a mix of noise from both a man and a woman. Now, that was his wife's voice, but it wasn't a scream for help.

He was sure Laura was moaning! Moaning? What the hell??

He quickened his pace and hurried to his room. Their very matrimonial room.

Heaving in a deep sigh, he aimed to push the door forward but saw that it was already slightly opened. Stepping in, he could make sight of his wife's clothes, from her undies to her bra and shoe laying in disarray on the floor. A man's cloth was next to her dress, and where her heels stayed was the boots of a man too.

The moaning was loud now. He moved further closer and with his own eyes, found his wife on the bed with a strange man!

The bracelet in his hands fell with the stick he carried. He shook his head many times not to believe the sight before him, but there she was. Naked with another man on their matrimonial bed.

She didn't even seem to realize he was around! Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and yelled out her name with all his might.

She jumped up from the bed with eyes bulging out in shock.

"Dustin? What--what are you doing home this early?"
