I apologize for overlooking the quotations. Allow me to revise the text, adding the quotations from the original work and expanding the story to satisfy the word count requirement:
From the outside, Laura’s marriage had always appeared perfect, with both partners grinning and showing respect for one another. However, beneath the calm exterior was a sinister secret that would soon come to light and permanently change Laura’s perception of devotion and love.
It all started ten years ago when Laura almost missed a social function when she met John by coincidence. With a Southern accent that instantly put Laura at ease, he had an alluring charm. She plunged fully into his enchantment, and the two of them became inseparable very quickly.
John appeared to be the ideal partner as their relationship developed; he was kind, caring, and often made Laura laugh. He asserted that he saw in her a lifelong companion who would be loved and admired. Within a year of getting married, everyone who knew them could feel their happiness.
That being said, under extremely common conditions, one evening last week saw the beginning of the unraveling of their marriage. When Laura got home early from work, she discovered John had been on a video call and was not aware of her presence. The words that drifted into her consciousness would rock her world:
“Dude, you struck gold with Laura. She has the money. Man, you’re set for life. There’s no need to break the bank on holidays. Unaware of the seriousness of his remarks, John’s friend Adrian remarked, “Laura’s got it all,” in a lighthearted manner.
John’s response pierced the atmosphere with its icy, acerbic tone: “You think it’s simple staring at her every morning? That is the cost I bear. Laura felt the callousness of his remarks as if they were a physical blow. This was the man she cherished, turning their bond into a business deal where her value was determined solely by her bank balance.
Laura was reeling from the shock, her mind racing. She felt foolish for having trusted in a love that was only a show. She had a great career in finance and lived a luxurious lifestyle, but she had never shown off her money or made it the focal point of their relationship. However, John had presented his acquaintance with a different picture—one in which her steady income served as his safety net.
Laura was determined to tackle the betrayal with more than words, so she came up with a scheme to make John learn respect and value. Instead of confronting him right away, she allowed the hurt of his words to fester while carefully considering every move she would do in retaliation.
