My Cheating Ex

When I was 21 and a senior in college. I graduated with enough AP courses and dual-credit college courses, I proposed to my girlfriend of two and a half years, Dakota. I was a chemistry major, and she was a public relations major. We went to high school but mixed in different circles. We met at a college party, and after I mentioned I was going into medicine, she seemed to take a shine to me. I should have seen past it, but I was very attracted to her.

Only one month after I popped the question, I found out she had cheated on me. A friend of mine spotted her making out with a guy and took a video and Dakota left with the boy. When I confronted her, she admitted it and showed no remorse, and when I broke off the engagement, she said she had cheated on me two other times with two other men, and she would not give the engagement ring back as it was "a gift."

I sunk myself into my work in the chemistry lab and working with a psychology student, we perfected a mind-control spray. It sounds like something out of sci-fi or magic, but it really worked. We put the liquid in an atomizer and when sprayed and inhaled by a subject, the subject's brain chemistry altered to make him very agreeable and unable to say no for 12 hours. We experimented on volunteers in the pscyh lab, but remained ethical, and also we hid it from our professors, and the "volunteers" were really random students who responded to a flyer, and we used the spray to have them not worry about getting paid and not to tell anyone.

I took a vial of the spray after the Spring semester and went back home. I went to Dakota's mom Sharyl's house with the vial and a backpack full of "supplies." Dakota's parents were divorced, and her mom made out well, but earned pocket money by teaching tennis at the country club.

I was let in by Sharyl's maid, as we had always been gotten along.

Dakota and her mom came in and stood in front of me. "Well, come to see what you let get away?" asked Sharyl as she and Dakota put their arms around each other and looked smug.

"I do have some new perfume." I quickly sprayed the chemical in their faces. They each got a good whiff as the shock made them inhale sharply.
