I didn’t fall for her because she was seductive. I fell for her because I was broke, panicking, and desperate to feel like I still had options. She didn’t flirt like she wanted me — she negotiated like she already owned the room. Every conversation circled money, favors, leverage, and consent dressed up as choice. When she finally undressed, it wasn’t intimacy. It was strategy.

She brought a contract into the bedroom and made it feel reasonable. Protective. Temporary. I skimmed instead of reading because my head was loud and my judgment was shot. The language was clean, professional, and quietly predatory. She let me believe I was clever for agreeing — like I’d found a shortcut out of fear instead of signing myself into it.

What followed wasn’t betrayal fueled by emotion. It was procedural. She routed money through my name. Asked me to hold things that burned the moment I touched them. When someone died, the paperwork told a story where my consent looked eager, informed, and motivated — and hers looked distant, advisory, untouched.

When the questions came, she didn’t panic. She produced documents, emails, timelines that made me look reckless and dangerous. Every crude joke I’d made trying to impress her became evidence. Every favor looked like motive. She stayed dressed. Calm. Clean.

Her exposure didn’t save me. It just confirmed the truth I can’t escape: she didn’t trap me by lying. She trapped me by letting me sign my own destruction while I was distracted by what she let me see.
