1. A Shared Dream
At sunrise, I watched Jake sleep, unaware of our financial stress. “I’m depositing the money today,” I told him. He smiled and dreamed of “a farm, fame, and a better school for our son.” I had just sold my parents’ lake house to fund our future.
2. The Discovery
We accidentally swapped phones. At the bus stop, a call from someone named ALEX came through. “Hey baby,” a woman’s voice said. “I’ve been waiting all night…” Shocked, I scrolled through texts: “Miss you already.” “Can’t wait to start our life.”
3. The Confrontation
I followed Jake to another house. A blonde woman embraced him. When I told her, “I’m Jake’s wife,” she gasped. She’d also sold her inheritance for him.
4. Taking Back Control
We set a trap. As Jake charmed her again, I appeared: “Hi, honey.” His face froze. “I didn’t send a cent,” I said. We walked off together—two women, finally free. “Pizza?” she asked. “With wine,” I smiled.
