My whole life was a sham! I realized that my wife had been cheating on me for 26 years when

I usually have an annual physical in August but this year I had a new doctor Marian Weller since my previous doctor retired Dr Weller is a young woman about 30 years old with red hair I doubted that she would conduct an examination since physical contact is intimate and I may feel

Uncomfortable Dr Weller’s nurse performed various preliminary procedures including measuring my blood pressure taking an ECG and checking my memory asking me to recall a book an apple and a table after a few minutes I’ve always been worried about situations like this but this time my anxiety was caused by

The thought that I would be almost naked in the presence of a beautiful young woman despite my misgivings I quickly realized that there was no need to worry as I was too nervous to feel any desire when we were done with this part she kindly remarked I’m sure you feel

Relieved that everything is done I replied gratefully yes thank you I smiled back at her when we finished our inspection everything looked good and the results of the blood tests were excellent when I was about to leave she suddenly asked do you have three children I nodded saying that I have two

Boys and a girl then she asked if I had adopted children or if they had been born thanks to IVF to which I replied in the negative confused I asked why she was asking she blushed and explained that she was a beginner and had read all my notes before our meeting I wondered

What she had found there but she quickly waved it off saying it didn’t matter you need to clarify this doctor it’s about my body Mr Miller you have a disease you have been infertile since birth the Revelation hit me like a brick has anyone informed you about this

Before what is it I asked in disbelief no please make copies of all my medical records I asked I was stunned by the news feeling overwhelmed by the shock I’m sorry but I should have kept quiet she said no not at all I reassured her apparently too many people were

Silent about half an hour later the papers were in my hands as I waited my mind wandered I’m 48 years old and I’ve been married to Melissa for 2 6 years there are three children in our family Brad who is 24 Mary who is 22 and

William who is 20 at least that’s what I thought Brad is now married and expecting a child Mary recently graduated from college and William is in high school I wondered who their biological father might be but Dr Weller’s explanation did not convince me completely all three children bore some resemblance to me

After receiving some of the notes I studied them carefully in my office considering various ways to confirm the information provided in search of a second opinion I contacted a college friend who worked as a urologist in New York he called me back quickly it was Mark Madden hi Mark I need your advice

On an issue that requires strict confidentiality and can be discussed remotely send me your documents by email and I will review them this afternoon okay please send me an invoice for your services thank you for your prompt help Mark called back at 3:30 p.m with unexpected news Ted I found out that you

Were born with a disease that led to infertility I don’t think you knew about it when you were born and you were diagnosed there was nothing you could do but we have made progress over the last decade Mark could you send me a textbook on this topic of course I’ll email it to

You within 10 minutes thank you Ted do you have children there is that’s what I thought I see good luck I hung up and contacted the DNA lab I arranged for them to send me several sets in one day and they arrived without delay at 5:00 I put the kits in my

Briefcase and went home my youngest son William is still in school and is going to leave next week after thinking about it I decided that it would be enough to test one of the children when I got home I found will reading in the living room while Melissa was cooking Melissa who

Usually finishes work early works as a real estate agent at my older brother Robert’s agency thanks to her culinary skills the air was filled with the aroma of fish the three of us tried the crispy cod and salad which were delicious I think Mel caught my hesitation although will probably didn’t notice

Mel who is also 48 years old has retained her student weight and appearance with dark brown hair and eyes similar to mine tall and weighing like a young girl Mel is very attractive while Mel and I were cleaning I picked up the glass that will had used during dinner

After that I lifted it up and cleaned the rim with a swab then I went to Will’s room and picked up some hairs from his comb I also took a swab from the neckline of the t-shirt in his his laundry basket and from his sneakers in

Addition I took a swab from my cheek sealed everything in envelopes and put them in my briefcase that night after will left Mel asked what’s going on with you Ted you look sluggish have you had a medical checkup has something happened no I’m healthy most likely I was worried about

Meeting a new doctor how is she good and quite pretty she giggled her laughter was infectious he didn’t get up did he no I was too worried about it well I’ll see her next week she was set up for contact but I told her I didn’t want to she

Kindly agreed with my decision the next day I personally delivered the DNA samples to the lab for Accelerated analysis which I paid for the lab promised that the results would be ready by Friday in Just 2 days then I went about my business at work where I serve

As a lawyer at an invest Bank in Washington and lead a team of six lawyers we are located next to the regulatory authorities a strategically important place for our work I have been working in this profession for 22 years and I get a good salary for my knowledge

I have valuable stock options that can bring in a significant amount if they are sold despite the fact that I was a little distracted at work I coped with my tasks I rode my bike to and from the office hoping that EX excise would help me

Relax when I got home at 6:00 I found that Mel was not at home but she left a note that there were sandwiches and salad in the fridge she often attended various shows and bachelorette parties so at first I didn’t pay attention to it but now my trust in her has been

Undermined I decided to track her location with my phone and discovered that she was not in a nightclub as was supposed but in a motel near the Fairfax line at that time I had dinner and chatted with Will about his college plans despite a successful summer when

He worked in a bicycle repair shop and earned good money he felt depressed after breaking up with his girlfriend Lisa I decided to go to bed early and Mel arrived at 11:00 p.m. and quickly joined me in bed without taking a shower she seemed distant when I tried to approach her I

Did it specifically to gauge her reaction because I suspected she was cheating but I didn’t know with whom I didn’t plan on trying to have an intimate relationship with her I woke up early the next morning and rode my bike to work as usual arriving at the place I

Took a shower and started my busy day around 1:00 in the afternoon I got a call from the DNA lab I received the report by email but when I talked to the specialist he said a lot of things from which I only realized one thing that my

Son will may be my brother’s son but not mine I was shocked I have only one brother Robert who was 3 years older than me Robert was always there for me when we were growing up we were of the same height and average build he played Sports at school and even played

Basketball at University although he was not an outstanding player after graduating from high school he went into the real estate business and achieved great success eventually opening his own company he married Glenda Wilson his college sweetheart heart and they had three children all of whom graduated from college and are now

Working 4 years ago Melissa who had previously worked as a teacher joined his firm despite the fact that she earned well she wanted a more fulfilling career since will was already old enough to take care of himself after school the news about DNA made me doubt everything since all three of my children

Celebrated their birthdays at the end of September I couldn’t get rid of the feeling that something was wrong this year the countdown to Christmas turned out to be different Mel and I decided to give up birth control pills when we wanted to start a family it took several

Months of trying before Brad didn’t show up just before Christmas during the Christmas holidays Rob and his family took part in the usual big family celebration after Christmas that year and for many years to come Mel and her friend Linda Green went on a week-long meditation retreat they left on boxing

Day the second day of Christmas and returned for the new year sometimes extending their stay for another week The Retreat took place at a center in the mountains of West Virginia When Brad showed up Mel didn’t go the next year but she went again the next time Mary

Was born in September of the following year while Mary was still breastfeeding no seminars were held but Mel and Linda resumed their attendance when their daughter turned 15 months old in September of the following year will was born and the field seminars continued for several more years eventually Mel stopped attending

Seminars when she got a job with Rob Linda who had been Mel’s best friend since College also joined Rob’s new company this went on for some time the following weekend we drove will back to college I rented a mini buus for the trip and on Saturday we enjoyed a

Pleasant 2-hour ride we had lunch with Will helped him move into his friend Mike Watson’s apartment and then said goodbye alone in the car with Mel I was unusually silent eventually Mel noticed this and asked what was the matter worried she said you didn’t even talk to

Me what’s on your mind I replied I have a lot on my mind Mel I’m not going to talk about it right now Ted you’re not lying about the medical exam are you let’s not dwell on it Mel that’s my suggestion at the moment we barely spoke for the rest of

The hourlong ride I left her at her destination and got back in the car then headed to the nearest bar for a beer I kept thinking about it I was puzzled by how Mel could get pregnant by Rob through a medical procedure the only logical explanation was that they had

Been making love for many years maybe it was Rob who Mel was with at the motel as I sat in the the bar my anger grew and it seemed to me that I could see everything through a red Haze I must have scared the young girl running the

Bar with my gaze I threw a tener on the counter and walked out I had a group of friends with whom I played cards in tennis but my best friend was Ned bar I decided to visit his house even though his wife sad and Mel never got along sad

And Mel weren’t close their children also went to college when I arrived and rang the bell Sadie opened the door and Ned was standing next to her it was immediately clear to them that I was not in the best shape Ned has a cozy gym in

The garage in the backyard I told him that I needed to unwind and we decided to do self-defense at the gym I knew he had a punching bag because we trained together once a week without hesitation we went to his backyard I put on my gloves and started pouncing on the heavy

Bag with all my might as if my life depended on it Ned calmly watched me lose my temper but then I started paying more attention to technique I kept hitting and hitting until I finally fell down Ned came over helped me up and led me into his house I collapsed into a sha

Long on his Terrace where s kindly brought me some water when I started to come to my senses I burst into tears Ned asked if anyone was dead or injured but I assured him that they weren’t my emotions turned to anger and I growled Ned Ned and Sandy wisely left me alone

10 minutes later Ned returned with a beer and sad sat down next to me I insisted that they keep quiet and then I told them all the details both were stunned Ned asked how did you find out about this and shouldn’t your parents have been

Aware I thought for a moment when I was a child my medical record clearly indicated this disease they should have known Sadie asked what do you plan to do next I replied to be honest I have no idea but let’s not get too hung up on it

Please don’t hit him like you hit a pair prison is not the best place I’m not going to do that I think it would be better if I went home now she will worry but I want to avoid confrontation for now I returned to my house where Mel was

Waiting for me at the door where have you been I was so worried she said I explained that I had stopped by for a beer and to meet Ned and then went to his house to help with carrying bags I’m sorry I should have called I confessed

After taking a shower we had dinner together on Sunday we had a picnic in a nearby park and went roller skating but we didn’t make love that night the next morning Mel looked disappointed and confused as I got up early and left for work without touching her I had an

Appointment with a lawyer in a nearby Office Building and I also went to the bank in addition I went to my company’s HR department to change the information about the direct deposit and beneficiaries of my retirement account which turned out to be a difficult task Molly Stanton’s lawyer informed me about

The divorce case in our state and I told her that my wife Mel and my brother were unfaithful to me this information could potentially be useful I asked a lawyer to file for divorce on alternative grounds but told her not to give it to Mel without my consent later that day I

Secretly installed a tracking program on Mel’s mobile phone as she was connected to my data plan which allowed me to track her messages and calls I strategically placed three small dictaphones around the house one in the kitchen one in the bedroom and one in the living room I also discreetly put

One in her car to distract attention I asked Mel to organize a party at my house on Friday night with Rob and Glenda on Monday and Tuesday I stayed late at work claiming that I had urgent business when Wednesday came I tried to get home as soon as possible despite the

Happy appearance and pleasant dinner together there was a noticeable lack of intimacy between us it was obvious that Mel was disappointed after that I downloaded all the recordings from the recorder and examined her phone when Mel went to bed I listened to her there were only a few

Entries the house was empty during the the day Mel did not deal with mental anguish she made one call to Rob’s cell phone and another to my mom my mother was widowed 5 years ago she was 78 years old and lived only 30 minutes away from

My childhood home the bell rang next I heard Mel’s voice he seems to be acting irrationally after the medical examination he became not himself I do not know what is going on then she called Rob hi Rob this is Mel no we can’t meet this week you guys are coming

On Friday and Ted’s behavior is disturbing I’m not sure what’s going on I don’t think he’ll find out anything we have to be careful I think he received some disturbing news after the medical examination okay take care of yourself bye this conversation became the last chapter of my marriage although we are

Still together it became clear to me that maybe initially they thought they were helping me but regardless of their intentions I am determined to make them pay for their actions Rob and Glenda showed up at 6:30 p.m. on Friday and Mel and I cooked a dinner of fried burgers french fries and

Salad while we were cooking I tried to avoid talking to Mel she seemed to notice my behavior but chose not to comment on it when the doorbell rang unexpectedly she looked at me and said I hope you’re not going to be in a bad mood all evening Ted with without saying

A word I went to open the door Rob and Glenda were standing on the other side Glenda hugged me warmly and Rob tried to do the same but I quickly turned away I poured them drinks beer for Rob and white wine for Glenda and we all gathered on the Terrace taking a deep

Breath I finally spoke up Mel I’m divorcing you you will receive a divorce petition on Monday Rob I’m suing you for alimony for all the years that I’ve raised in financially supported your children Mel started crying Rob got up angrily and came over to me you’re an

Idiot I’m going to hit you now he threatened Glenda watched in shock as Rob tried to hit me while I was sitting on the porch I managed to dodge his punch causing my chair to tip over Rob was laughing at me are you angry you’re a hypocritical jerk let’s deal with this

Right now growling he rushed at me waving his fists I quickly dodged his attack and landed a powerful punch in the stomach despite his best efforts he couldn’t match my strength when he was writhing in pain I didn’t hesitate to hit him again Mel’s screams went unnoticed and I tirelessly

Punched Rob until he collapsed on my shoulder as a final Act of retaliation I kneed him in the groin and threw him onto the Terrace Glenda who was watching the scene stood up and saw Mel rush to Rob’s Aid he was cons ious and moaning Mel looked at me accusingly you had no

Reason to hurt Rob none at all you’re just a beast you could have taken his life she continued to cry and I still can and you’re not out of danger either you’re a lying person Mel paled at my warning she carefully moved away from Rob I growled at her take this worthless

Man and take him away from my Entourage you only have a minute before I’m done with him forever Mel struggled to lift Rob barely managing his limp body turning to Glenda she asked for help but Glenda didn’t react and refused to help Mel managed to move Rob to the couch in

The yard and then carry him to the kitchen I turned to Glenda and asked did you know too she shook her head denying her involvement over the years I’ve had suspicions about Rob but never about Mel I think they’re still together maybe she has other men but I can’t say for

Sure when I heard the garage door open I went inside looked out the front door and saw Mel putting Rob in the passenger seat of his SUV and driving away then Glenda came in a pleasant looking blond 46 years old dressed for a dinner party but with smudged makeup I offered her

More wine but she refused asking for an explanation that’s what I did she was sitting at the kitchen table Glenda said Rob always went on winter skiing trips after Christmas workshops I don’t like skiing and stayed at home with Mark Mark is her son I wondered where they

Actually went but Glenda didn’t seem interested I’m sorry Glenda I thought you knew everything are you really getting divorced yes undoubtedly I offered her a guest room for the night and she agreed after that we delved into conversations about the past discussing possible meeting between Rob and Mel in

The present I shared with her a recording of Mel’s phone conversation with Rob thereby confirming that their romance was continuing at 10: p.m. we sat down at the table to eat hamburgers discussing practical issues such as future living conditions I mentioned that I was standing in line for an apartment near

My place of work assuming that Mel and I would share the costs including the proceeds for the house in the meantime I plan to stay in my current home Glenda decided to go upstairs and get ready for bed curious I followed her to inspect the guest room she had

Everything ready and I handed her a towel and a toothbrush when she left she confessed I’ve always liked you more than Mel she seemed to think that I was on a different level than Mel I waved goodbye to her as I closed the door the next

Morning I got up early and saw that the police had not yet appeared it seems that both Rob and Mel did not want to attract too much attention to themselves I asked Glenda about her plans to which she replied that she intended to live with her mother until Rob left their

House I gave her the email address of my lawyer and advised her to contact him for further recommendations noticing that her car was still parked on the street I suggested that she go with her to get her things to which she agreed taking a pistol from the gun safe

I followed her car as we drove to their house we found out that Mel’s car wasn’t there Glenda and I entered the house but it was empty thinking about the damage I had done to this jerk I couldn’t help but imagine him in pain in a gloomy Hospital from a fatal infection or

Dehydration I wonder where they are Glenda asked and I suggested tracing their location when I opened the phone locator I found that Mel’s phone is now in the Cumbria hospital after after calling the hospital and inquiring about Rob’s whereabouts I found out that he had already been admitted I broke the

News to Glenda asking her to stay at home and change the locks then I went to the Home Depot to buy new hardware some for her and some for myself in the morning after installing new locks I handed Glend to the Keys and left but feeling compassion for her I expressed a

Desire to return she agreed mentioning that she would cook for us after finishing installing new locks in the house and making additional keys for Glenda and me I went home to find her there at 4:00 as soon as I entered the house my mobile phone rang detective

William James was on the line and wanted to talk to me I informed him of my location at 204 Western Street and mentioned that Mrs Glenda Miller was also there he asked if she was the second witness or the victim’s wife to which I explained that he was not the

Victim and confirmed that she was the wife Detective of James agreed to come promising to arrive in 15 minutes he was a short and stocky man dressed in a formal suit and luxurious loafers Glenda invited him into the house where he introduced himself and asked if it was

Comfortable for the two of them she calmly replied no it’s our spouses who betray us not us she looked at me and added for now James’s gaze darted between Glenda and me his expression unreadable maybe you’ll get lucky baby I replied maybe I glanced at Glenda who met my

Gaze without flinching I couldn’t help but feel that this was not the most effective way to conduct a police interrogation James said I’d like to talk to Mrs Miller first Glenda took him to the backyard where he turned on the recorder on his phone they talked for

Almost 20 minutes after which he asked me Glenda whispered as she passed me I’m serious her seemingly sincere offer looked like a deceptive distraction despite my admiration for her and her looks I was not one to be fooled despite this the detective insisted that he was gathering information and urged me to

Tell about what happened I started with the shocking news that Rob is actually the father of my children which was a recent discovery for me I explained in detail about our dinner on Friday and Rob’s unexpected reaction as well as our subsequent disagreements I told him all the details

I could remember after listening to my story the detective asked how do you know all this I prefer not to discuss it I’ll just say that no one informed me everything happened unexpectedly good Mr Miller your testimony fits well with what the wife said I haven’t questioned your brother

Yet after talking to your wife it turned out that he provoked a quarrel and you reacted besides he’s not in the best condition right now and he’ll have to be watched for a day or two his eyes were fixed on me he was serious a knee to the groin is not a

Laughing matter it can really lead to trouble but then he suddenly turned away and smiled what will happen next I will document this and send it to the Commonwealth prosecutor for a decision at the same time I will talk to your brother detective James stood up and I led him into the

House where Glenda met us at the front door as he turned to leave he wished us a good evening after that he went to his car Glenda closed the door and positioned herself right in front of me she tilted her head slightly to the side and raised

It saying that a hearty salad was waiting in the refrigerator for dinner she assured me that there was no hurry and it was clear from her tone what she wanted for me I was amazed how women can communicate their desires so easily without hesitation I kissed her accepting the unspoken invitation

Without hesitation she hugged me passionately dragging me to the sofa with her and showering me with kisses she pulled me closer and her Fury spurred my response while we were undressing I stood over her and watched her take off her dress it was obvious that she had planned this seduction and

It was undeniably effective it was not a moment of love but pure passion I brought her to several climaxes before finally Breaking Free unable to hold back any longer taking my hand she led me to the kitchen where we had dinner and then went upstairs she mentioned

That she sees our actions as a form of recovery to which I replied that I didn’t mind we continued to make love took a shower and then made love again we exper experimented with different ones to please each other and reached a climax several times eventually our

Middle-aged bodies wanted to rest and we finally succumbed to sleep I was the first to wake up that morning I was taking a shower in the bedroom when she suddenly came into my room causing another flash we soaked each other washed and dried everything together after that we brought each

Other to a climax and then took a shower again as we sat down to breakfast we both pondered the whereabouts of our spouses although neither of us was religious it was Sunday I tracked down Mel’s phone and found that she was at my mother’s house this realization prompted me to

Talk to my mother as I suspected that she might have played a role in my becoming a cuckold after discussing this with Glenda she expressed uncertainty and suggested that the details of how it happened might not be important but I felt it was very important to find out

If my mother was involved besides I needed to talk to Mel maybe she came home but couldn’t get into the house she showed no interest in meeting or talking to me perhaps they are solving some problems I’m going there do you want to come with me I always want this I have a

Wild nature she giggled so will you join me to talk to Mom yes why not let’s give them a hint of what we’ve done in fact what’s the point of making love and revenge if the cheaters don’t know about it we both laughed when we arrived at my

Mother Shirley Miller’s house we noticed Mel’s car parked outside the house when Glenda and I went out on the porch mom opened the door and immediately told me to leave accusing me of offending Rob I defended my actions by explaining that Rob tried to hit me first having decided

To sort out the situation I warned my mother that if I left now I would not come back reluctantly she let me enter the house and Glenda followed me Mel was sitting quietly in the kitchen and as soon as she saw us I felt like she knew everything she exclaimed you didn’t

Waste any time did you Glenda replied why should I wait I know your lover won’t be able to satisfy me anymore but your husband will definitely be able to Mel jumped up but I pulled her away my mom yelled for us to stop she turned to me and said Ted you probably ruined

Everything when you slept with Glenda I replied no I’m free now and so is she that’s always been the case with Mel and Rob Glenda and I have a lot to catch up on and we started from the beginning Mel insisted that we should listen to him

And my mother to shed some light on what was going on I looked for my wife to my mother before finally saying I’m listening Shirley met Mel’s gaze as she continued to confess we both wanted children but when we started trying your mother declared that you were infertile

You didn’t even know about it Shirley intervened but I had a solution Rob Rob could have impregnated Mel that way and you wouldn’t have found out about it I replied you decided this without consulting me she continued your father tried to bring this issue up for discussion but was rejected by three

Votes to one we considered various options including medical ones but they all turned out to be too expensive and timec consuming after all you should have realized that you were raising Rob’s children Mel reluctantly admitted we decided to do it the natural way I replied you lied you secretly made love

For a week and at some point even two weeks and that was good for you wasn’t it Mel lowered her eyes and confessed it was awkward at first but then we had a great time and everything got better I was looking forward to spending time

With Rob he’s a good person is it true Glenda asked angrily what about me trash he lied and laughed at me Shirley chimed in we thought you wouldn’t agree Glenda’s frown deepened you were right I would not have agreed then and I still do not agree you caused my divorce and

I’m sure Ted thinks so too no one needed to get divorced none of you knew anything and you’ve both been happy so far how did you know Ted during the examination at medic Cal the doctor informed me that I have been infertile since birth I decided to do a DNA test

On William Mel lowered her eyes now you know the truth we can get through this together because I know that you love our children I said I cannot ignore the fact that you have been unfaithful throughout our relationship even after the birth of three children and even when you started

Working for his company I bet you didn’t stop Glenda snorted well how many times have you and Rob slept together in the last year Shirley looked at Mel in disbelief Mel please tell me that’s not true Mel we fell in love with each other we

Had a connection both in and out of bed that’s why we kept seeing each other I added yes like last week at the Shady Pines Motel Mel looked shocked have you hired a private investigator I chuckled I just used the locator on your phone Mel comforted me

We can stop we will stop I only need you Glenda added I want him too you can leave with your big love Shirley who was standing suddenly sat down on a kitchen chair looking unwell worried I asked Mom are you all right she began to cry cry

Wailing what have I done Glenda added secrets and lies only lead to more secrets and lies you should have told Ted from the beginning Mel suggested if Shirley hadn’t done what she did our kids wouldn’t be here maybe they wouldn’t be so bad you Rob and my mother

Conspired against me resulting in my life being built on deception and betrayal after reflecting on my past I realized that everything I knew was a facade and my entire existence was a lie overwhelmed with grief I sat down and Mel came over to me unable to stand

Her presence I pushed her away and burst into tears don’t ever come near me again Mel Glenda hugged me tightly and the two of us shed tears eventually I got to my feet and we walked away when we returned to Glenda’s house we were gloomy I helped her with

The garden and mowed the lawn after which we sat down to lunch a conversation ensued and I couldn’t resist asking Glenda are you absolutely sure about the divorce you and Rob have been together for so long Glenda agreed I remember your previous conversation about how you felt like your life was

Being taken away I feel the same way I’ll go with you to a meeting with a lawyer tomorrow I don’t see a way to come to terms with the situation because the anger has been building up for a long time I have to think about the welfare of the children are you thinking

About how to explain the situation to them in case of divorce as a result I decided to contact them by phone or letter and ask for a conversation I’ve made a decision after lunch I sat down to write a letter to my three children in the letter I tried to

Express that no matter what they will always be my children they will always be the ones I cherished and cherished then I sent them all an email asking them to call me about an hour later my cell phone rang and it was my daughter Mary dad are you all right and how are

You feeling it’s very difficult for me to get over it you should know that I love you you are my dad forever I’m trying to understand the situation with your mom and grandma how could they do this to you Grandma thought she was helping but I didn’t realize that their

Actions would have long-term consequences I will never be able to forgive mom for being involved in this further actions depend on me and I do not know what to do next I hope we can find a solution that is at least somewhat friendly it’s not going to be

Easy but I just wanted to talk to you I love you I love you too we ended the conversation and hung up 2 minutes after Brad’s call William got in touch he looked more hesitant than the others he confessed when I was home alone while everyone was at school I noticed

Something strange about my mom I tried to ignore it but I couldn’t keep it to myself anymore I’m sorry Dad it’s all in the past don’t dwell on it you find yourself in a difficult situation not understanding the full depth of what is happening our conversation ended shortly

After it started it was difficult for will to express his thoughts he was always very attached to his mother that’s what I thought I doubted he really understood much about her and Rob Glenda was in the kitchen flipping through an old photo album I joined her

And we came across photos of both our families in their youth soon tears began to flow down our faces Glenda hesitated suggesting that maybe diving into the past wasn’t such a good idea I hugged her tightly and gave her a friendly kiss while we reminisced about the past

Eventually we went to bed and fell asleep together without any intimacy the next morning we visited a lawyer named Millie Stanton who seemed hesitant to talk to both of us at the same time despite her initial discomfort we insisted on discussing our problems together Millie was a middle-aged woman

With a 50s style hairstyle who exuded calmness despite her gray hair despite the hairstyle I liked her she talked about the rules of divorce in our state mentioning that adultery used to be a common reason for divorce but now it happens less often she noted that our circumstances are unique and we have

Developed a plan According to which we will both file for divorce and I will demand alimony from Rob Millie didn’t want to involve Glenda in this process because of their financial ties to Rob she offered to either file the documents immediately or wait until the end of maternity leave

And Sue Rob I asked Millie to file a lawsuit at work and at the same time as rob it was supposed to happen on Wednesday I took Glenda to her bank to split up their property after spending some time at the bank we had a late lunch at the

Italian restaurant Bon we returned to Glenda’s house around 4:00 I decided to go back to my house and Glenda came with me no one touched the new locks we entered the house and she looked around recognizing The Familiar surroundings she had known for many years when I

Turned to face her she was standing next to me with a determined look I want you to make love to me on your bed right now she said urgently unable to resist her sincere plea I picked her up in my arms and carried her upstairs to the spacious

Bedroom she laughed playfully and said you are so brave and strong Rob definitely couldn’t do that we both got up and undressed mirroring each other naked we both fell on the bed time seemed to slow down when we started making love at first it seemed strange to be in intimate proximity with another

Woman on this bed but soon I was enjoying the moment she was wild and passionate taking whatever she wanted after we lay down it was some time before she spoke it was amazing she said taking that bitch’s husband on her own bed couldn’t be better I grinned and replied you’re so

Vindictive yes she agreed and everything turned out in my favor well mostly mine I added but you liked it too of course I liked it she said this act of Revenge was in itself the culmination she laughed yes we spent the whole night making love until we finally

Stopped the next morning before we went to work we shared our affection after taking a shower we shed a few tears then packed up and went to work Glenda decided to wear one of Mel’s work outfits which I expected was a form of Revenge the outfit was too tight for her

While I was at work Mel called me and said she needed to go home to pack her things I came to work in a dirty dress I can meet you at the house at 6 has Rob been discharged from the hospital yet no he’s going to have surgery you did a

Great job with him where are you staying I’m staying at your mother’s house in your old room what an irony and where are you staying with this idiot we’re at her place then at mine and what happens when Rob is discharged it’s not my concern have you heard anything about

Children no what did you do I sent them an email detailing the events and spoke to them on the phone they’re going to hate me Ted none of them contacted me you know what you’ve done she shouted go to hell and I hung up Mel arrived at the house at 6 right

On schedule it was an unexpected turn of events when she got out of the car I opened the door for her she went upstairs and then there was a scream she was lying on my bed I can smell her I can’t believe you could do something

Like that I went up to her and said she expressed a desire to avenge the fact that her husband was taken away from her Mel’s anger was palpable as she packed her things including a bag of toiletries as she was about to leave she didn’t notice that the suit Glenda was wearing

Was missing she turned to me and asked if there was a possibility of reconciliation I answered firmly no Mel I meant every word I said it’s over between us she looked depressed but not surprised initially I hoped that I would have a happy family like any wife she

Began it seemed like the perfect solution but things turned out for the worse I deeply regret this I can’t forgive you no number of apologies can erase the fact that you had children with another person and cheated on me over the years your apologies are insufficient and I doubt their

Sincerity she got into the car and drove away the next day she went to work after lunch my mother called Ted why are you rushing through the paperwork what’s the matter what is it she asked if you calm down maybe things will get better it’s not like that Mom I replied she’s been

Having an affair with Rob for years don’t Ted mom said sternly and don’t forget who was the cause of all this I remember I said everything was fine until last week goodbye I still don’t know what to do with her after all she’s the one to blame for all this chaos I’m

Trying to protect us from unwanted sympathy from others Rob was discharged from the hospital on Friday unable to return to his own home as Glenda would most likely have harmed him with her firearm he took refuge in our mother’s house Mel lived there too I wasn’t bothered by their presence even

If they were using my old room or his but if my mother lets them stay then she’s not my mother anymore Glenda and I conferred and decided to sort out the situation together since I still had the key to the house we waited until 2:00 in

The morning before acting I drove us to the house and used used the key to quietly open the back door as a precaution I brought a pistol with me in case of possible danger Glenda stayed downstairs and I carefully went upstairs and looked into my old room my

Suspicions were confirmed when I saw them both but not in Rob’s room as expected but in mine the two of them on a double bed I took out my phone and turned on the flashlight to take some pictures the room was filled with screams mostly of naked Rob also

Undressed had a large bandage wrapped around his lower ribs preventing him from moving Mel calmly covered herself with a blanket when my mom ran out into the hallway and saw me she warned me Ted don’t jump to conclusions I replied I don’t need to you support their actions

Which continue to this day I went downstairs and found Glenda waiting for me she said they must have been together Mom and Mel immediately came running and Mel was in a bathrobe the bad boy Rob was nowhere to be found Mom sighed they’re adults what can I do kick them

Out into the street I noticed my old bed and realized that Rob intended to sleep with it wherever I was Mel replied he wouldn’t have made it you saw him I grinned at him you really tried didn’t you and now what what I don’t have a

Chance with you is this true burn in hell turning to my mother I said you’re done I may still be your son but no more it belongs to you now not to me Glenda and I left returning to her house we went to bed at 4:00 in the morning

Glenda and I stayed close to each other while our divorces went through the courts Mel and I sold our house and split the proceeds she did not receive any alimony or other support from me the judge did not approve of her actions my children have adapted well to the

Current situation the older two communicated with Mel only through a Christmas card and blocked her calls will talked to her but not very friendly during the summer holidays he decided to stay with me he didn’t talk to Rob Mel had met him for lunch several times but

Rob wasn’t with her will avoided talking to him as a result of the divorce Glenda received most of the property including the house and a significant part of Rob’s business Rob in turn moved into a two- room apartment with Mel a week after the divorce Glenda and I

Talked and realized that Although our intimate sympathy is still strong in other aspects of the relationship we are not quite compatible as a result I decided to move out neither of us felt particularly sad about the situation from the very beginning it became clear that our relationship with was short-lived due to

Problems in the past despite this she asked me to continue making love to her from time to time while she remained single and I agreed we had a strong physical Bond and the closeness was pleasant after a successful operation I stopped being infertile at the age of 49

Overall I think there was a definite positive in this situation one evening at the gym where Ned and I were practicing self-defense I witnessed a woman forcefully kicking a heavy pair she radiated strength and confidence when she finished her workout she looked in my direction and jokingly asked are

You scared I replied with a smile and raised my hands in surrender she giggled and remarked I’m watching you aren’t you afraid of me I replied no I’m Hilda Marx and you must be Ted Miller I’m going to pop in the shower and have a coffee she

Pointed to the store across the street I’ll meet you there in 10 minutes maybe 15 after all I’m a woman our conversation was pleasant she said that she had recently arrived in the area she was 36 years old she had a schoolage son but no husband she left him on the west

Coast we talked for almost 2 hours delving into all aspects of my life including my medical history by the time the store closed she knew everything about me I was fascinated by her interest at that time I lived in a bungalow next to the gym with two

Bedrooms it took 2 weeks before she finally visited my bed and stayed the night she was as wild in bed as she was in the gym but I was determined to dominate her desire to be conquered turned me on incredibly Hilda’s son Donald was 16 years old and he was in

The penultimate year of school we became close because of our shared love of basb as we both practiced the sport over time I started helping the school team which further strengthened our bond 6 months later Hilda and I tied the knot because she was expecting a baby the decision

Was made suddenly Donald and Hilda moved into a house that I bought next to my own where Donald had his own room and a place in the basement for sports equipment this allowed Hilda to continue playing sports Thomas Timothy Miller was born soon after and to me he was nothing short of a

Miracle Mel and Rob quickly became a thing of the past as she changed agencies and started dating a young guy who was clearly doing something illegal as a result after a while Mel was detained by the police and a large number of prohibited substances Glenda married her College sweetheart James

Wilder and Hilda and I had a little chat with them James turned out to be a nice guy and Glenda as always looked great I suppose she still has a certain appeal in bed James and I discussed this issue once and this moment brought us closer together I still haven’t completely

Forgiven my mother but I visited her when Thomas was born she was overjoyed Hilda made sure that my mother visited him regularly showing him more sympathy than I did my mother passed away in June of this year the memorial service was held calmly despite the difficult Family

Life Rob said goodbye to her but I couldn’t bring myself to do the same after that he kept his distance from me imagine a rich but incompetent young man breaks into your house into your shelter and demands to take your wife away for a few nights how would you

React to such audacity as if this is not enough he begins to intimidate causing a desire to engage in a physical fight with her and teach her a lesson but instead of succumbing to temptation I decided to act differently when I finished loading the tools into my pickup truck that Thursday

Afternoon my mood was far from joyful the client I’ve been working with for the last couple of weeks didn’t seem to be confident about the latter design his frequent requests to make changes to the original plan became annoying and the last change he asked for that morning

Was so significant that it required me to dismantle a significant part of the work already done in addition I had to meet with the architect and engineer to take into account the client’s new wish which meant that we would have to revise the structural plans as a result the

Next day suddenly turned into a day off my name is Kenneth Morrison I am a leading artist and owner of a small carpentry Workshop that specializes in creating first class stairs I work with Elite clients such as wealthy homeowners hotels restaurants and offices who are willing to pay over

$50,000 for a custom-made art staircase at the age of 34 I had been married for 4 years to 29-year-old Daphne Tupper Daphne was a successful lawyer at the prestigious Law Firm Kramer boan and Hendrick which specialized in commercial law and intellectual property law we haven’t had any children yet Daphne’s priority was

Her career not anything else arriving home at 4:30 p.m. I was stunned to find that my wife’s car was parked at the entrance it was unusual for her to return home early on a Thursday as she usually worked late finishing early only on Fridays when I entered the house

Through the back door as usual after a day at work at the construction site I noticed a small problem with the water pressure the idea that Daphne was in the shower upstairs at that time was strange because she usually took a shower either in the morning or before going to bed

After quickly changing into comfortable clothes I went upstairs to find out why my wife returned home unusually early on Thursday afternoon as I expected Daphne had just finished taking a shower and was now wearing revealing black fishnet stockings a new black dress lay on the

Bed ready to be put on hi honey why are you home so early did I forget something do we have plans for the evening that I don’t remember I asked she looked at me with an unexpected expression on her face which despite her attempts to hide it indicated

Nervousness taking a deep breath she replied no Kenneth you haven’t forgotten anything I have plans for the evening and you’re not invited I’ll be gone until Sunday afternoon I’ll spend the weekend with Derek Kramer confused I asked what what do you mean is this a work trip she her head

And replied no Kenneth this is not a work trip Derek has booked a hotel room for the two of us I won’t be here this weekend as the room is booked she said her tone Resolute despite the rehearsed words no that’s not going to happen I

Can’t let my wife spend the weekend with another man I objected well you better get used to it Kenneth because that’s what Derek wants and I advise you not to test it she warned with a smirk so your volunteer hearing for this plan do you expect me to just accept this bury my

Feelings and let you leave and then come back as a faithful wife I replied with sarcasm in my words I never said it was a temporary agreement Derek has made it clear that he wants this to be on a permanent basis so yes suck it up and

Don’t fuss trust me your life will be easier if you just accept it she said firmly we’ll see about that I won’t stand for this daff me you have to think about the consequences of your actions I will not let this vain man dictate my life if you think that I am easily

Influenced then you are mistaken you’re in for a surprise I warned she had already finished preparing for the evening when I went downstairs took a beer out of the refrigerator and saw a Mercedes approaching the house the Arrogant man himself Derek got out of the car went to

The front door and rang the bell Kenneth could you open the door for Derek I quickly dialed the code on the tailgate alarm set up the phone to record video and put it in my t-shirt pocket then I settled down in the living room getting ready to watch my acquaintance with Derek Kramer

Began when Daphne joined cbh 3 years earlier our first meeting took place at the company’s Christmas celebration Derek a man in his 40s gave the impression of authority he was cordial with colleagues flirted with female employees and was Charming with his colleagues wives of his male employees and the husbands of female

Employees watched his behavior which radiated arrogance and contempt causing instant dislike for this man Daphne angrily descended the stairs and opened the door and I watched from the living room sipping a beer sorry for the delay Derek I don’t know where my husband’s manners have gone she said adopting a

Submissive tone she whispered something to Derek but I couldn’t make out the words from where I was sitting hey man I heard that you don’t agree with Daphne spending the weekend with me he growled as he entered the living room looking like a school principal scolding a student I was

Shocked by his arrogance thinking that he could act like a boss in my own house get out of my house before I call the police I said clenching my fists in anger he laughed and Daphne grinned next to him and what do you think the cops will do he chuckled mockingly nothing

They won’t do anything do you know why suddenly he noticed my mobile phone and tried to stop recording but it was locked with a password he threw it on the ceramic floor where the Ceramics emerged Victorious from the Collision listen up smartass your wife is going to

Spend this weekend with me no matter how you feel about it she will be with me whenever I want and your thoughts about it don’t matter at all do you understand if you try to interfere there will be consequences your life will be a nightmare compared to what lies ahead so

This weekend be quiet and don’t cause any problems if I hear that you upset Daphne mentioned a divorce or did something stupid like trying to contact my wife I will not hesitate to disclose your suspicious money laundering activities or illegal content allegedly on your computer I chose to pretend that I didn’t know

Anything about it the probability that this information will become public is very low I have never been involved in money laundering and had nothing to do with illegal materials I replied mechanically this can be done without difficulty transferring files to a computer is a simple process I have

Information that can quickly ruin your reputation I pretended I didn’t know anything possession of illegal materials involving my ERS is prohibited by law if you download them to my computer doesn’t that mean you already have illegal content innocently asking that’s the difference between us actions that are forbidden to you are perfectly

Acceptable to people with powerful connections like me I strongly recommend that you continue to behave like a workingclass person and not bother people with a higher status do you understand I was shocked by the words I had just heard such a conversation would have been considered outrageous even in

A fictional comedy but this man was serious in my presence besides I urge you to refrain from taking revenge on me or Daphne I don’t want to risk the infection passing from you to Daphne and then to me I’m not going to ask Daphne to stop making

Love to you at least not yet can’t you see that I’m just trying to be reasonable if you cross the line I’ll know about it okay now let’s go honey they headed for the front door Daphne grabbed her bag and left without saying a word goodbye or looking in my

Direction the fact that he called my wife honey made the situation surreal instead of pure anger I felt a mixture of anger and disbelief at that moment I was silently thanking the robber who broke into my house a year before I met Daphne and forced me to install a thorough

Surveillance and alarm system I installed motion responsive cameras and voice responsive microphones throughout the house capable of recording everything that happens and storing it in the cloud I never told Daphne that the system could be put into recording mode while we were at home so she was left in the dark when I

Activated it right before she opened the front door to this unfortunate man at the same time I turned on the recording on my mobile phone using it as bait I was hop hoping that Kramer would notice the camera and find a way to turn it off which would allow him to speak more

Openly without suspecting that he was being recorded it seemed to me that this could provide valuable information for a possible divorce the phone that fell to the floor was my work cell phone working with wealthier clients I soon realized that giving them my personal phone means being available around the clock having

A separate work phone allowed me to disconnect connect at the end of the day and reply to messages the next morning at least I still had a way to communicate I took my personal phone and dialed the number of my business lawyer and close friend Harry Harry married my

Older sister Jennifer 10 years ago their marriage was filled with happiness until tragedy struck after 4 years of marital bliss Jennifer tragically drowned during a trip with friends to guadaloop despite his bereavement Harry continued to be a beloved member of our family earning our affection and admiration 3 years later

Harry found love again with Kristen after a year of dating they exchanged vows and my parents Daphne and I were the guests of honor at their wedding to this day Harry and Christina are like family to me when I found myself in a difficult situation I turned to Harry

For help I told him about the threats from a certain Kramer and what happened during my wife’s weekend trip without hesitation Harry offered his help he advised me not to leave the house not to contact anyone and to turn off all means of communication Harry assured me that he

And Christina would arrive with dinner in just an hour and this gave me a much needed sense of confidence as I recalled the events of the last hour it became clear to me that my wife Daphne was fascinated by Kramer’s strength and Charisma I never thought that she would

Prefer him to our love it was a painful realization that our bond was not as strong as I had thought before 5 years ago my relationship with Daphne began at a mutual friends birthday party despite the fact that I didn’t know many people at the party I

Struck up a conversation with Daphne who turned out to be the sister of an army friend of the birthday boy who served in Afghanistan our bond grew stronger and stronger as a result of which we started dating a week later and the following year we tied the

Knot all this time I continued to work for Mr Duncan the founder of the small company I worked for Craig Duncan was a well-known woodworking specialist in our area but his accounting and management skills left much to be desired when I was in college he hired me as a

Part-time accountant to help him keep the books as the workload increased Mr Duncan entered into three major contracts that required more attention than he could give despite the difficulties the clients insisted that he take on these projects as a result he asked me to help him with

His work at first I ran errands delivered goods and helped move large items it quickly turned out that I was a fast learner and well suited for this job after overcoming the initial difficulties I was able to independently complete simpler tasks or make an effective contribution to more complex

Projects although I graduated from the University with a degree in accounting my love of practical work forced me to do an internship after receiving the certificate and becoming Mr Duncan’s assistant I was able to buy out his share in the business with the financial support of my parents despite the

Underestimation on the part of CB’s lawyers who saw me as a simple Store employee I persisted my company has thrived by focusing on fewer but more profitable projects a few months earlier I had hired two assistants and my income and expenses exceeded those of many lawyers in my wife’s

Entourage despite my successes even my wife did not know about these achievements I was brought back to reality by Kristen and Harry who came with Chinese food and beer Kristen hugged me comfortingly and asked I can’t believe Daphne would do this to you it’s so out of character for her after Harry

Hugged me encouragingly he said don’t worry worry we’ll figure it out together let’s have dinner and then I’ll check your file I told him about Daphne’s unfriendly attitude when I got home after lunch after we ate I took out my laptop and found files with recordings from the camera and microphone

Fortunately the conversations were very clear I can’t believe what I just heard Harry exclaimed pretty arrogant guy huh I remarked no more like downright stupid Harry replied is this guy 40 or 42 years old this means that he has about 15 years of legal practice under his belt

He’s not a beginner and at the same time he is so self-sufficient that it does not occur to him that sometimes you just need to be silent your clever tactic of pretending he’s not being recorded after he smashed your phone has been successful he bought into it and revealed all the information we

Needed I asked if it was legal to use the recording because it was made without his consent absolutely Harry assured me this is your home you have the right to record anything you want here so I have nothing to worry about is that what you mean no

That’s not what I’m talking about we need to proceed with caution I made some inquiries on the way here Christina was generous enough to get behind the wheel and pick up the food it turned out that our Target Kramer is the son of the founder of the law firm did you already

Already know about this Harry asked and I confirmed it perhaps you don’t know that his father Marvin Kramer has a good reputation he wasn’t a great lawyer but most of the judges in this region were his old College friends which gave him a significant advantage in winning cases

Now this has become a problem as his son Derek has decided to pursue the same career with his extensive connections with friendly judges it will be incredibly difficult to get a posit postive decision in our favor regardless of the legality of his actions this poses a serious threat to our legal

Battles so you’re saying that I’m going to find myself in a difficult situation no matter what that’s not quite true it will be difficult to win but it is possible besides I have powerful connections the main thing is to collect enough evidence to build a reliable case against him I have a strategy

But what about the judges who always support him I asked if we don’t take the case to the criminal court that’s exactly what we’re going to do our conversation was interrupted by a knock on the front door a short brunette was standing on the porch hello Mr

Morrison she greeted hi Laura come in Harry greeted her Kenneth this is Laura Foster she’s a computer expert from the private detective agency we work with I contact Ed her after our phone conversation today we brought Laura up to date and asked her to listen to the recording of the conversation especially

The part where Kramer mentions downloading evidence to my computer Laura listened to him carefully and then outlined the plan in detail in either of the two possible scenarios they will come in the afternoon perhaps with the help of your wife hack into your computer change the date and upload their materials so that

It seems that it was done before Kramer’s visit if this happens your camera system will record everything before you go to work in the morning don’t forget to put your device into recording mode she took out a small gray box from her bag another option is to give them remote access to your

Computer for possible atrocities I will install this module in front of your modem to keep track of everyone who is trying to access your router and see what they are trying to upload or download take the time to transfer all personal or confidential information and files to a USB drive and then erase

Everything on your computer Laura confidently explained that she would help prevent access to data by ensuring that no hidden information would remain on the computer it was obvious that she was well-versed in her field Harry added letun get started Kenneth the only evidence you have against him for

Blackmail is the tape if you try to bring a case based solely on her your case can be quickly closed blackmail is usually not considered by the public as a serious crime and judges whom a person knows may be inclined to support it the ideal situation would be if Kramer planted

Illegal material on your computer and then reported it to the police providing false evidence that you possess illegal content thus a trace will be found indicating that these actions took place without your participation at the computer thanks to the warning we Reed received from Kramer which we will

Definitely document we will have the necessary evidence to put forward strong arguments against him in court if he becomes involved in criminal activities especially those related to Illegal materials his judicial friends are unlikely to support him and are likely to distance themselves from him I find it disturbing and abnormal I remarked

Yes but Kramer is still vicious and here’s another thing could you not use the computer for the next few days if Kramer carries out his plan and denounces you the police may want to check computer records to find out if anyone accessed illegal files after downloading them without using a

Computer we will be able to keep the records clean which will be beneficial for us also make sure your mobile phone doesn’t connect to your home Wi-Fi in the coming days so they can’t use your phone instead of a computer after installing the surveillance module and deleting all confidential information

From my devices Laura assured us that the module would send us copies of any access requests as soon as we have information I will contact Harry and you good luck guys Laura said before leaving letun focus on more practical matters Harry suggested Kenneth do you want to

Start the divorce process right now or do you want to wait until Daphne gets back and try to sort things out no I want to get divorced as soon as possible I can’t stay married to a woman who is easily influenced by self-proclaimed strong personalities I’m confident in

This decision okay I’ll contact Claudia Milton tomorrow she is a family law specialist at my job and is known for her fairness and efficiency I’ll ask her to contact you as soon as possible I think you’ll enjoy working with her Harry reassured me while we continued

The conversation I gave him access to my recording system so that he could receive realtime updates and save information to the cloud Christina and Harry left around 11:00 p.m. and I took sedatives to fall asleep quickly the next day at 8:30 a.m. Claudia Milton called me after talking to Harry about

My situation she asked me to come to her office at 11:00 a.m. during our meeting Claudia showed sympathy for my situation after learning about Derek Kramer’s dubious reputation she reassured me by explaining that since I bought the house before I met Daphne and her name was not

On the deed the property still belongs to me since we don’t have children the divorce process will be simple worried about my business I asked if I would have to sell it and split the profits Claudia called Harry to discuss my concerns and he quickly calmed us both down the prenuptial agreement clearly

States that your company belongs only to you and she has no rights to it despite their possible attempts I have thoroughly checked and confirmed that they have no legitimate grounds for further action after meeting with Claudia at 12:30 p.m. I discussed Financial issues with her she assured me that everything

Was being handled efficiently and informed me that Daphne would receive the divorce papers at her office on Monday after replacing my damaged mobile phone I spent the rest of the weekend working in the yard and watching my favorite TV shows even though I still held a grudge against Daphne I couldn’t

Accept that it was true although I knew that I would eventually have to mourn the end of our marriage at that moment my emotions were still too raw the thought of Daphne coming home on Sunday haunted me and I agonized over whether I should sleep in the guest room or force

Her to stay there eventually I realized that this was my house and that she had abandoned me I decided not to share a bed with her and moved all her things to the guest room then I bought a new door handle with a lock for the bedroom room

Door and I kept the key in my pocket the next evening when I heard the asshole’s car pull up I turned on the surveillance system for recording I saw Daphne kiss her boss for a long time and then get out of the car and wave goodbye

To him as he drove away I was sitting in the living room seemingly deep in concentration on a book when she came in hi dear how was your weekend she asked looking nervous although she tried to hide it I could tell she wasn’t as calm as she seemed I decided not to answer

Her continuing to focus my attention on the book okay keep sulking Derek was right when he said you’d act like that she muttered implying that you may not have the intelligence to understand my demands or the emotional maturity to admit your shortcomings she headed up the stairs when she left I started

Counting 1 2 3 Kenneth Morrison what’s going on on did you put a lock on our bedroom correction my bedroom I replied calmly your things have been moved to the guest bedroom you will live there until you find a new apartment what the hell is this Derek

Should know about this it wasn’t part of our deal what kind of deal I didn’t agree to any of your partner’s ridiculous demands either you stay in the guest room or you clean up maybe Kramer’s wife will take you to her bed she looked at me me in silence stormed

Into the guest room and slammed the door I followed her upstairs shouting through the door and if we’re talking about deals what’s in it for me when I didn’t get an answer I decided to go back upstairs about 15 minutes later my phone buzzed with messages from an unknown

Number the messages were demanding saying hey why don’t you let Daphne into her own room I think I’ve explained everything clearly I won’t pay attention to your child crisis cook Daphne her favorite dinner and apologize if you behave yourself for the rest of the week then I will allow daffne to be

Intimate with you next weekend if you don’t listen you will see that my warnings are not empty threats follow my instructions implicitly do you understand I was shocked by the words I read it seemed that this man lacked empathy he was disconnected from reality and stupid I decided not to answer but

Took a screenshot of the convers ation and sent it to Harry Harry replied 3 minutes later commenting unbelievable this man really thinks highly of himself but he’s just a first class idiot let’s not waste time answering him Kramer sent several more requests for recognition but I chose not to respond eventually he

Stopped contacting me I didn’t see Daphne again that evening I went to bed with the door locked and the recording system on I sent a text message to one of my assist assistant saying that I would be late the next day I waited until morning after Daphne left I took my time

Getting ready for the day I decided to cook myself breakfast while transferring the recordings I had made the night before to the system it was late in the morning when Daphne finally emerged from the guest room she had already showered in the guest bathroom and left without

Breakfast to my surprise she didn’t try to do anything with my computer which I was very worried about at that moment a message from Claudia Milton appeared on my phone it read hello Kenneth I informed Harry that the divorce papers would be served at 10:15 a.m. today

Before heading to the store I checked again that my home security system was still recording and set to alert if triggered I had an appointment with the architect at 11:00 a.m. to finalize the changes for the client I took care of small things until it was time for the

Meeting I expected a call from Daphne shortly after she received it but it never came at 10:45 a.m. I texted Harry sharing my surprise at Daphne’s silence this must mean that she discussed the divorce papers with Kramer perhaps they are already planning something I’ll contact Laura Harry replied keep me

Informed surprisingly the meeting went well which allowed me not to be distracted after I spent the rest of the day collecting tools and tidying up the store at 3:12 p.m. I received a signal on my mobile phone I quickly sent Harry a message to let him know that the show

Had started he replied with a thumbs up then I logged in and watched the events unfold in my house Daphne and an unknown man entered our home office where they turned on my computer they exchanged only a few words a few minutes after decrypting my password the man inserted

A USB flash drive into the computer and within about 10 minutes began to engage in suspicious activity fortunately I was able to take clear pictures of his face at this time Daphne went to the guest room and packed her things in trash bags as her suitcases were in the closet in

The master bedroom after finishing his business the man turned off the computer and told Daphne that he was leaving when she finished packing she left the room at 3:56 p.m. shortly after the recording stopped Harry contacted me okay Kenneth go home and act natural he said I think

They might involve the police today or tomorrow so be ready for the inspector’s visit it takes several hours to get a search warrant so expect them tomorrow worried I asked is it possible I have already contacted Steven Lindsay a trusted criminal defense attorney and shared all the necessary information

Including recordings Harry assured me that it would be the easiest thing of the year I also gave Harry a code to access my alarm system records in case of arrest after further discussion we ended our conversation as I drove home I felt incredibly anxious fortunately the evening passed without police visits

Calls from Daphne and unpleasant messages from Kramer I made myself a sandwich and enjoyed eating it while watching TV despite the fact that I really wanted to tell my parents about what was happening I decided to wait until the storm subsided trying to explain to my mother what computer

Hacking and Cloud video storage R seemed like a pointless activity that would only cause unnecessary worries the next day while I was shopping I received another notice of an invasion of my home like last time I quickly texted Harry and checked my security system after the incident the

Police entered my house and tried to turn off the alarm it looks like they succeeded because the connection was lost Harry told me that he had seen everything and sent the photos to Steven Lindsay about an hour later two policemen showed up at the store and arrested me I was handcuffed and taken

In a police car they quickly explained my rights to me and began to interrogate me but I chose not to answer when we arrived at the police station my phone and wallet were taken from me and then they put me in a cell with five other people the room room was quiet everyone

Avoided eye contact and looked at the tiled floor 3 hours later a security guard appeared to take me to the meeting room where I was supposed to meet with my lawyer confused I asked the guard how they knew who my lawyer was but they didn’t say anything and left me alone in

The room 10 minutes later the door opened again and Derek Kramer entered the room with a confident smile he sat down opposite me but we sat in silence maintaining eye contact and not saying a word having established his superiority and declared himself the winner in the confrontation he looked at me with a

Smug look and said have you finally realized the gravity of the situation I was silent I asked you a question Morrison speak up you worthless idiot I decided not to answer anymore it will be your word against mine Morrison he warned the opinion of the carpenter will

Be opposed to the opinion of one of the most famous lawyers in the city do you want to predict the result he asked with a grin standing up he continued it looks like you need time to think about what I’ve told you let’s meet tomorrow morning and talk further perhaps a night

In this shared cell with your companions will help you clarify the situation he remarked before leaving the room I was taken back to the cell where there were now only four people in the afternoon another visitor came to me I was taken to the same meeting room where

A tall blonde man with a serious expression was waiting for me he stood up when I entered and introduced himself as Steven Lindsay he mentioned that Harry had contacted him earlier in the day after he couldn’t get through to me under such circumstances we had a feeling that you could have been

Arrested and taken to this place I listed all the events that happened during the day even mentioning the disturbing visit of Derek Kramer Steven’s jaw dropped in shock but he didn’t say anything so you have a court hearing scheduled for tomorrow morning there will most likely be a large bail amount

But Harry will take care of it I know it’s going to be a difficult night but try to hold on both Harry and I are here to support you in the meantime continue stubbornly refusing to answer their questions I have officially taken over your case and will make sure that Kramer

Does not bother you anymore more the next day I appeared before a judge on charges of possession of prohibited materials maintaining a statement of my innocence bail was set at 25,000 and I was released the same day I was forbidden to leave the city and contact my future ex-wife Derek

Kramer or anyone from their office despite this I was allowed to work in my store Steven returned my cell phone and wallet to me and we went to a late lunch where our conversation continued yesterday at the police station I refrained from unnecessary information for privacy reasons but

After making a few calls and making inquiries I found out quite a lot of intriguing information about Derek Kramer now I’m going to offer you some comforting information to begin with it takes several hours to obtain a search warrant and only after that can the authorities examine the evidence found and issue an

Arrest warrant in your situation you were taken away before the search of your house was completed besides despite the restrictions on communicating with me or Harry Derek Kramer was allowed to visit you these circumstances strongly suggest that the whole situation was planned which is certainly contrary to the

Law Harry mentioned that Kramer has influence over many judges I said not at all he replied slightly you can’t maintain so many connections with without making enemies I’m not sure what I’ll find at home I pray that my wife and her treacherous accomplice don’t take everything don’t worry about it

Harry went to your house right after the police left after reactivating the system and restarting the recording no one was in sight I decided to go back to the store and pick up the car and then go home to take a much- needed shower when I returned I received a message from the

Architect confirming that the the updated plan had been approved by the client which was good because it meant that I could focus on work the next day but when I arrived home I was greeted by chaos every corner of the house was thoroughly searched after setting up the

Damaged computer I was sure that I would not find anything suspicious when I was putting things in order tears welled up in my eyes for the first time just a week ago I was happy in what I thought was a strong marriage now I find myself accused of a crime on

The verge of divorce and under the influence of my wife’s manipulative boss I couldn’t help but wonder what I had done to deserve this fortunately the Press did not pursue me most likely they were too focused on the recently uncovered multi-billion dollar Scandal to pay attention to someone like me at

The end of the following week Steven contacted me and told me the important news I was relieved to learn that all charges against have been dropped it seems that the inspector assigned to my case was not easily influenced especially when it came to Blackmail despite Kramer’s attempts to manipulate

The situation the inspector remained adamant wasting no time the inspector ensured that Derek Kramer was charged with blackmail fabrication of evidence and possession of prohibited materials involving children Daphne was involved in a conspiracy related to these crimes after talking to Steven Harry called me and invited me to dinner that evening on

The way to Harry’s I was contacted by my family law lawyer Claudia Milton Kenneth the lawyer representing Daphne contacted me today and informed me that she is ready to sign the divorce papers in their current form but she asked for an hour-long face-to-face meeting with you before completing the process the

Meeting can take place in his office despite my reluctance to see Daphne I understood that the this meeting could speed up the divorce process so I agreed I instructed Claudia to arrange a meeting accepting Daphne’s condition the evening I spent with Harry and Kristen was a much needed respit and

For the first time in 2 weeks I felt really relaxed Kristen cooked a delicious dinner of coconut shrimp and rice and when I returned home I felt satisfied despite the upcoming meeting with Daphne on Wednesday at which I became a victim of delusion I could not

Get rid of my nervousness when I arrived Claudia directed me to her office where she gave me advice I’m not sure of her motives but I think it’s necessary to warn you a criminal case has been opened against her please be careful not to give her any information that could be

Used against you in court since we can’t check her for recording devices keep in mind that she can record your conversation thanks for the warning I replied then I was taken to a small small private meeting room where Daphne was already waiting I expected to meet the same angry and arrogant Daphne that

I had encountered in the previous weeks but Daphne standing in front of me seemed broken and vulnerable despite the fact that I felt a surge of compassion the memories of her questionable Behavior with Kramer quickly negated all the positive feelings that I could feel thank you for agreeing to meet with

Me Kenneth she said what can you tell me Daphne after everything that happened I replied tears streamed down her face as she spoke Kenneth I am overwhelmed with shame for the way I treated you you’re such a wonderful husband and you don’t deserve the pain I’ve caused I was blinded by Derek Kramer’s

Manipulations but when I found out that the charges against you were dropped and that he and I could face the consequences it knocked me out of my rut I can’t look at myself in the mirror and all because of a stupid mistake she continued to reflect on herself spontaneously analyzing her own behavior

She didn’t ask me for any information and didn’t ask me anything Kenneth I understand that our relationship has come to an end if I were you I’d like to get a divorce too I don’t hold it against you for ending the relationship I want you to know that I

Quit my job I told Derek Kramer that I don’t want to talk to him anymore I went back to my parents house and told them everything they are very angry with me there is a tense and unwelcoming atmosphere at home I stared at her in silence there was no smart way out of

The situation she brought this on herself and now she has to deal with the consequences the coming months maybe even years will be difficult for me Kenneth I do not know what the future holds for me the only thing I want is that one day when everything calms down

We will have the opportunity to become friends it seems like a distant possibility Daphne very distant we’ll have to wait and see I wished her luck before getting up and leaving the room some part of me still cared about her but reconciliation was impossible even if I wanted Revenge

Circumstances had already made her an unhappy person having learned her lesson Daphne decided not to seek retribution anymore she cooperated with the authorities by making a plea deal for Derek Kramer which eventually led to her moving to another city unfortunately I lost touch with her after that when the

Accusations of blackmail of Kramer surfaced two more people filed a complaint against him as a result Kramer was sentenced to 12 years in prison since the police had recordings of all my conversations with him my testimony was not necessary after crr was convicted I filed a civil lawsuit

Against him and what was left of his firm and eventually achieved a settlement in the amount of $2 million most of which went to Harry despite the fact that I pretended to be outraged I was glad to compensate Harry for his invaluable help my business is booming

Now I am currently in the process of finalizing a deal to acquire a specialized door manufacturer which will improve our operations with a team of six employees who feel like like family I’m happy with how things are going after the divorce Harry and Kristen invited me to a barbecue party

Where I met Kristen’s younger sister Katie we immediately found a Common Language and have been dating for several weeks I’m looking forward to where this relationship will take us a few weeks after the conclusion of the civil case against cbh and Kramer I visited Kramer in prison I made sure

That the guard stayed to watch our conversation and grinned slightly when Kramer entered the room teasing him as he sat down he asked what do you want you bastard when Kramer saw me he tried to leave but the guard insisted that he stay and listen brushing aside his

Insults I said dispassionately to launch a preemptive strike how intriguing I found out that your wife Jessica has filed for divorce and I thought about inviting her to dinner to give her a special evening Kramer in a rage called called me a scoundrel but I interrupted him with a smirk I told him

Not to waste his breath as I had already asked Jessica out on a date I mentioned her hummingbird tattoo on her thigh making Kramer blush with anger he was about to threaten me but then he realized that it wouldn’t help him but I’m not going to talk about Jessica

Today I just wanted to tell you that you’re being stupid and sometimes you need to be reminded of your own stupidity think about it threatening a man in his own home and imposing consequences on him for not fulfilling your unreasonable demands is not a sign of intelligence is it even an

Experienced carpenter will be able to determine this let’s put it this way in this case you will remain in the dust I couldn’t help laughing when he got excited didn’t you say that some things are unacceptable to people like me but quite acceptable to people in your position your influence is truly amazing

I bow before your greatness maybe it’s because because of the jumpsuit that you have such strength it suits you very well I said feeling his anger become palpable as if he was about to have a neurological breakdown finally I laughed and reminded him of his beautiful wife

With whom I want to have a great time I struck back and it calmed me down when the evening came to an end my wife and I waved goodbye to the last guest from The Porch wishing him a merry Christmas host hosting holiday parties for our neighbors has become a tradition

For Amy and me what originally started with just four pairs has grown steadily over the years this year we were happy to invite more than 35 people and about a third of them did not even live in our area the increase in the number of guests was most likely due to the

Festive atmosphere created by a lot of alcohol and slightly naughty games which became a favorite part of our meetings every year the games became more daring but they never crossed the boundaries of what was allowed like Amy and me most of the participants were between the ages

Of 25 and 35 many of them were parents of several children it was not the Wild and Reckless crowd that we had in our student days on the contrary they were responsible purposeful young parents who wanted to relax at least one evening a year the neighborhood women always

Brought a lot of food much more than the participants could eat and my husband and I provided an abundant supply of alcohol when several neighbors started bringing friends from other areas it didn’t cause much concern my wife without warning me invited several of her colleagues to the party including

Her close friend and colleague Ron Stevens from their company’s external sales department with whom she has worked closely for the past 5 years they seem to spend a lot of time together especially considering the frequency of their trips and participation in sales conferences just a few days before the

Party he became the subject of heated discussions in our family his presence at the party prevented me from having fun I took it upon myself to help Amy with the cleaning and garbage collection and when I returned she was almost finished in the kitchen it’s time to talk to her why

Did you decide to invite Ron and your colleagues to our neighborhood party I like their company so I thought it would be great if they came I think they had a good time and fit in well with our company what is the problem are you serious Amy you know how I feel about

Your relationship with him and you invited him to our house this is our home Mark I can invite anyone I want to our party I don’t need your approval do you think it’s appropriate to humiliate Me by exposing your boyfriend in my house in front of our friends and

Colleagues I noticed the smirks and raised eyebrows of your colleagues what’s going on I’ve told you many times that Ron is not my boyfriend no one mocked you it’s just your groundless jealousy which is already pretty boring did you really think that no one noticed you sneaking upstairs with him

What are you up to Amy why did you need to be alone with Mr Wonderful I’m sorry but we didn’t go upstairs he just needed to go to the bathroom and downstairs was busy I quickly showed him the guest bathroom I was there for no more than a

Minute or two your accusations are groundless you disappeared for more than 30 minutes I saw hail trying to distract me and she was keeping track of the time you’re being paranoid Gail’s attempts at friendliness were obvious although it was unclear why she was trying so hard to help I noticed how she remained

Silent in response to the accusation of lying which indicated that her negotiation skills were better than her ability to deceive me Amy’s unexpected invitation to her lover was the ultimate betrayal that made me decide that I would no longer tolerate dishonesty and lack of respect while she continued to

Pour insults and lies I turned around and went up the stairs I went into the bathroom to collect my toiletries and accidentally dropped the deodorant when I bent down to pick it up I noticed a gold foil wrapper in the trash my heart started pounding and I realized that it

Was a contraceptive package after the birth of my second child I had a vasectomy so I knew it wasn’t mine this confirmed my suspicions that my wife was cheating on me Amy burst through the bathroom door hurling insults and accusing me of being paranoid I insisted slowly turning to face her and holding

The foil in my hands this is not paranoia but the real truth I insisted maybe someone planted this as a joke I didn’t do anything wrong Amy kept blaming me but I insisted I’ve had enough Amy it’s over I said I couldn’t forgive that this is not what I wanted I

Understand that you didn’t expect me to find evidence of your deception it was your big mistake let me explain what happened everything seems to be very clear you ran away from the party and got intimate with your lover while I was downstairs with our friends did it

Fascinate you sleeping with him in our house while I was downstairs no it wasn’t like that please dear let me explain everything this is not how I imagined our party I quickly put the foil in my pocket when Amy stepped aside to avoid me I could hear

Her begging me as I made my way past her into the guest bedroom with a quick movement I slammed the door and locked it ignoring Amy’s desperate pleas just in case I dragged a chest of drawers to the door knowing that she probably didn’t know how to pick the lock Amy’s

Screams demanding an explanation were muffled as I firmly insisted on my own not wanting to open the door there was more and more knock on the door asking me to open the door but I didn’t want to open it turned on the TV and turned up the volume it seemed impossible to fall

Asleep and I mentally listed all the cases when I stayed late went on trips and attended conferences did she like talking to Ron in those moments was she with him the thought was unbearable but it felt like a harsh reality a tear rolled down her cheek and her stomach

Clenched at the thought of having to tell her daughters about her parents parent separation how could she betray our children like that how could she only think of herself what made her prefer another man to our family am I not good enough as a husband why is this happening to us endless questions

Overwhelming doubts heartache anger it all consumed me sleep was slipping away and The Morning Sun was mocking me shining through the window I reluctantly got out of bed knowing that this Sunday morning would be busy I pushed aside the chest of drawers and went out of the

Room into the hallway the door was a jar which allowed me to catch a glimpse of Amy lying on the bed I closed the door and headed to the guest bathroom to freshen up after getting dressed I went to the kitchen to pour myself a cup of

Coffee while I was carrying my drink to the table Amy came into the room despite her disheveled appearance swollen eyes tousled hair red nose and traces of a hangover she still looked amazing another wave of pain overwhelmed me how could this happen to us I was perplexed

Looking at her coffee cup standing next to the coffee pot as always I poured the perfect amount of skimmed milk into it I didn’t even realize I’d done it until she poured herself a cup and sat down at the table across from me Mark she began her voice heavy with regret I’ve ruined

Everything I thought I I was being so smart I was hoping to teach a lesson but now I see my mistake I was stupid to try to shock you but everything turned against me I deeply regret my actions and apologize you didn’t deserve to be treated like this and I understand that

You’re mad at me thank you for giving me the opportunity to feel this anger it was very nice of you to invite your boyfriend to our house without thinking about the situation dear please let me start from the beginning it’s too late to explain your plans now all our neighbors saw how

You implemented your action plan last night Amy hurried to my chair turned me away from the table sat on my lap and hugged me tightly please let me explain everything give me 5 minutes Mark I turned away from her avoiding her attempt to kiss me on the cheek tears

Streamed down her face as she begged for forgiveness anger boiled up in me but I resisted the urge to act I couldn’t bring myself to hurt her no matter how much she deserved it I took a deep breath and pulled myself together okay Amy 5 minutes now please get off me 5

Minutes I refuse to back down I can’t risk you leaving before I tell you everything I looked at the watch on my left wrist and realized how stupid I had been the night before and all because of Ron and his stupid decisions I raised an eyebrow okay okay you’ve made it clear

That you don’t trust him and therefore doubt my ability to handle him even if I swore I didn’t have romantic feelings for him you wouldn’t believe me you seem to think I was an innocent teenage girl who was easily convinced by the salesman as if I’d ever fall for his Bal phrases

Or any other guy’s tricks of course he tried to flirt with me like so many others even some of my clients tried to sweeten the deal by hitting on me but let me make it clear that I am not naive I am well aware of my appearance and

That guys will always try to flirt with me but I always Stand My Ground and say no naturally I mastered the art of politely refusing with a smile so as not to hurt someone’s ego but my refusal was always decisive having withstood your persistent courtship as it seemed to me

For the 40th or 50th time I reached the limit and decided to demonstrate the stupidity of your behavior with Ron and Gail’s help I came up with a plan I knew you noticed me going upstairs with Ron in fact we had to wait until you finished filling your bowl with ice so

That you would face the stairs when our plan was implemented Gail made it clear that she would distract you when we went upstairs everything was going according to my plan I brought Ron into our room and sat him down in a chair waiting for you to

Come in after a while it became clear that you weren’t going to come up to us to confront me when I was intoxicated I didn’t realize how much much pain I had caused you I thought you’d just given up on me and I burst into

Tears Ron came up to me and hugged me tenderly while I was giving way to tears his gentle touches on my back and hair gave me a feeling of comfort easing my pain when I came to my senses I tried to pull away but he surprised me with a

Kiss caught off guard I hesitated for a moment before pushing him away interrupting an intimate moment disappointed I demanded an explanation of his actions grinning he slightly remarked that he knew that my initial approach was a ploy to bring him closer and now that we were face to face it was

Time to tell about our true intentions I leaned forward took off one shoe and threw it at him hitting him in the chest he recoiled and met my gaze noticing my Angry expression for the first time without saying a word he quickly headed for to the bathroom it

Looks like he got rid of the contraceptives flushed the toilet and threw the foil in the trash during his short Retreat I didn’t expect such stupidity from him I told Gail about his action and she immediately took matters into her own hands punched him in the ears and left if necessary I could

Easily contact her for confirmation watching her closely she slowly got up and grabbing me by the shoulders sat down on my lap pushing her away I picked up my cup and headed for the coffee maker when I filled my cup I sat down next to her Mark please talk to

Me I understand that you’re upset about what happened but I want you to know that I didn’t cheat I shared with you the truth about the situation I never wanted to be with him like many of us he was a little drunk last night and made a mistake kissing and Revelations were

Never part of my plans he’s stupid and I don’t need problems at work but on Monday Gail and I will make sure that he answers for his actions darling I’m sorry will you ever be able to forgive me I looked at her realizing that she

Had set up the situation so that I could see it you expected me to get angry and burst into our bedroom to interrupt my Unfaithful wife’s intimacy with her boyfriend on my bed and then when I walk into the room and see you two chatting innocently I suppose you’re going to

Mock and tease me for being a jealous partner of course Gail was going to bring the rest of your colleagues up the stairs after me so that they could join in the ridicule of your two stupid jokes right perhaps you wanted to make such a spectacle so that the rest of the party

Would quickly gather to watch what was happening and my friends and neighbors could join in the laughter at the jealous fool so that was your strategy did you think that by shaming me in front of everyone you would prove once and for all that I should trust you and

Never doubt doubt your loyalty well I just wanted you to see the fallacy of your actions towards Ron you’re constantly drawing the wrong conclusions I was so hurt that you thought that of me I thought our party would prove the opposite to you but when I started interfering with you two it

Ruined your fun and made you so angry that you decided to punish me in a different way is that why you decided to teach me a lesson show your superiority and put me in my place amen was shocked what lesson are you talking about what

Do you mean you let Ron end up on my bed while I was downstairs pretending I didn’t understand anything it was probably a worthy revenge for the fact that I disrupted your plans oh my God we’re back to this again you told your side of the story but it wasn’t the full

Truth as you missed some details I’m sure you and Gail spent a lot of time last night reworking a version that had at least a little bit of Truth to make it seem plausible I don’t understand what you’re trying to say Mark I’ve admitted that I was wrong let’s forget

About my stupid joke and end this argument I disagree I replied taking a plastic bag out of my pocket this was your way of getting back at me this is the part of your story that you hid from me it shows that I can’t believe anything you’ve said Amy examined the

Bag trying to make out its contents I picked her up rocking her slightly in my arms Amy narrowed her eyes I couldn’t help but smile at the shock on her face Ron really was a complete idiot he tied it up before flushing the water so that the

Air bubble would keep it afloat I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and found him floating in the toilet tank this jerk didn’t even bother to check if he flushed the water I replied oh my God Amy stared at me with

Her mouth open I’m really sorry I’m sorry I lied to you you’re right I was so angry when you didn’t follow me I was so drunk that I made the stupid decision to sleep with Ron leaning over our bed without thinking it seemed like a way to

Teach you a lesson but looking back I realized how stupid it was everything I did was stupid my plan to teach you a lesson was to make love to Ron I screwed up really badly she lowered her head and began to cry what does this mean for our

Relationship is this the end for us will I be able to withstand the consequences of one Outburst of anger and frustration that led to my constant doubts doubts are a constant feeling that something is wrong a few months ago I felt a change in Amy but how and why why did I suspect

That she was cheating on me with Ron why did she have to prove to me that Ron wasn’t a threat at least until anger and intoxication got the better of her last night I was shocked that she considered a secret affair with Ron and AO appropriate form of payback for my

Mistake this was not the woman I married when intimacy had lost its meaning for her so much that she could use it as a punishment I was upset by the thought that with the help of intimacy you can achieve more than just love looking at her tears I realized that she had become

A skilled manipulator Gail must have taught her the art of negotiation honing all the skills to achieve her goals Gail an experienced sales manager who has always outperformed her male competitors took young Amy under her Wing as a mentor despite the fact that Gail was an aging divorced woman she showed Amy how

To dominate negotiations with male clients when Amy began to excel in her new leadership role she realized that she had Gail to thank for her success Gail’s constant support and guidance have played an important role in shaping her career the bonuses allowed us to start saving money for our children’s

College education and cover all our expenses but what was the true price it’s time to find the answers I applauded slowly saying bravo bravo it was a great show your quick thinking is impressive Gail has certainly trained you well you soon realized that Ron had defeated you now you’re tearfully

Apologizing to me hoping that I won’t notice your one mistake I made a mistake in a moment of frustration and intoxication I believe that I can convince the father of my children to forgive me especially for the sake of our children it’s a smart strategy knowing how much I love

And care about our girls I’m ready to put aside my anger over a mistake in order to protect our innocent children of course I would do anything for them now I understand that you deliberately wanted to embarrass me in order to teach me a lesson you also admitted your

Mistake which you made while intoxicated when I interfered with your plan you took responsibility for your actions and apologized to me what else can you do the tears stopped and Amy froze analyzing my expression and trying to decipher my unspoken thoughts without saying a word I could feel her mind

Racing trying to predict the outcome of this situation Amy I believe your explanation about Ron in the party I apologize for doubting you and thinking you were having an affair now understand that what happened was a one-time mistake I believe you when you say it will never

Happen again can we get through this and try to regain control of the situation together I love you very much my dear I’m trying my best to forgive the pain you caused me but I still have unresolved questions what do you mean by others I should have noticed these signs

When I first met Gail and heard the rumors but I trusted you my intuition kept telling me that something was wrong and now I realized that I was right all along I was wrong about Ron but my fears about you were Justified weren’t they were you worried why should I be worried

I don’t understand exhaling I sighed and leaned back in my chair feeling exhausted by the lies and deception I didn’t have any concrete evidence but I felt like I’d lost her a long time ago the woman I once loved was no more Gail undoubtedly pointed the way

To wealth and success but in the end it was Amy who chose this path she voluntarily ignored the promises and began to provide intimate Services it doesn’t matter what she did it for self-esteem quick profit or fleeting excitement the reason for her decision is unimportant Amy I know about your

Actions and that you make so many deals it really hurts me to see what you’ve become the look of shock on on her face confirmed my words it was fleeting but I caught it before she pulled herself together and smiled Mark honey I thought we were fine she said I’ve already

Admitted my mistake with Ron but I have no idea what you’re talking about right now I don’t know what you think you know but I just want to get this nonsense over with and move on let’s get cleaned up and get our daughters I know they like being with their grandparents but

They miss dad that’s what we did I spent the rest of the day admiring my daughters and considering my next steps on Monday I visited my lawyer and officially filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences despite the lawyer’s warning not to have high hopes I asked for joint

Custody of the girls with my primary Guardian in order not to attract my wife’s attention I sent Amy to her job shortly after receiving confirmation of successful completion of the service my phone rang are you serious are you really thinking of divorcing me because of the situation

With Ron I understand nothing it was a mistake it was stupid we have discussed everything thoroughly please think about our daughters you love them more than anything in the world I will accept any punishment but please don’t destroy our family I’ve already told you that Ron is

Not the main problem I can’t be with the person you’ve turned into it’s all nonsense I’m worried about you you obviously it’s hard for you to forgive my mistake I understand it the divorce situation can have a negative impact on our daughters we need to find a way to

Deal with this perhaps a psychologist’s consultation will help us do you want me to organize it please sign the papers Amy once that happens you can live freely the girls and I can handle it on our own they can stay with me when you’re not at home and you can visit

Them whenever you want stop dreaming there will be no divorce I will never let you take my daughters away from me stop this nonsense immediately if you challenge me there will be consequences Mark I care about you please don’t make me fight an hour later my phone rang and

It was Gail I was waiting for her call order your student to sign the documents this is the only choice you have once she signs the contract the girls will stay with me and you can continue to exploit her for your clients naive boy you have no evidence

That she was engaged in any activity other than the meeting with Ron which did not take place on my instructions I’m sure you’re savier I don’t need proof I have to make the statement loudly and publicly she has done this repeatedly and I am sure that at least

One of your competitors will be ready to collect evidence and file a complaint this could lead to an investigation which you definitely don’t want right now right are you you ready to destroy her out of Revenge don’t forget that the girls will also suffer if something becomes known about their mother she’ll

Sign the papers or I’ll do it publicly if this information becomes known I will definitely involve you in the process you gave her recommendations on moving to the role of a leading salesperson in our company replacing You by age do you expect any requests from the board of

Directors have her sign the documents and follow your instructions the signed papers were received by my lawyer a week later Amy has since moved into a nice apartment located about 2 mil from our house she often visits the girls and regularly attends their school and sports events we don’t talk much but

Recently I saw Gail and Amy coming out of a fancy restaurant I was just pulling into the parking lot when they came up to my car Gail opened the door and then turned to Amy and pulled her to her for a passionate kiss I was shocked I had no

Idea that Amy liked girls now it’s clear why Gail had such a strong influence on her now I realized that I never really understood her but I’m grateful that I’m moving on I’m not sure if I’ll ever get married again but if I do decide to do

It I’ll definitely ask a lot of questions before making a decision this experience has taught me a valuable lesson
