Man Leaves Wife For Sister, Then Checks Bed
The small piece of paper slipped from Laura’s hand. Her mind went blank. Her chest ached. Her vision blurred. Seven years of marriage all for nothing? Her legs turned to jelly as she reached for the kitchen counter. Who would keep the house?
Her stomach heaved. Of all the people in the world, he had to choose her? Then, suddenly, she began to laugh. She’d get her revenge.
History
Just like any other couple, Laura and Jack had plenty of struggles. From the 6-year age gap to Laura’s age and Jack’s unstable job, her parents immediately disapproved. Jack was a bartender in a bar that was notorious for underage parties.
Her parents hoped he was a stress outlet during her freshman year, but they were wrong.
Big Jumps
After graduating, Laura moved into Jack’s one-bedroom apartment. The walls were damp, the bathroom door was broken, and the heating didn’t work. But they were young, infatuated, and in love.
She got a job as a waitress in the steakhouse a 20-minute walk from their love nest. The food was overpriced but the tips were good. But rumors spread like wildfire.
Hidden Truths
Laura’s late night after work visits to Jack’s bar was met by side eye glances and whispers. It wasn’t long until the writing on the walls began to appear. The ladies’ bathroom was a diary.
Phone numbers, graphic romantic encounters, and one common name—Jack. The betrayal stung. “If you can’t trust me, then we can’t be together.” Jack put Laura’s concerns down to her immaturity. He made her question herself.
Maybe she was making a mountain out of a molehill. The scribbles were probably just gossip and made up tales. She couldn’t risk what they had because of her own worries. Then, he did the unthinkable.
Acceptance
When Jack got down on one knee, Laura blurted out “yes” before he had the chance to finish his speech. She didn’t need time to think. All she needed was him. She was young, but she was positive that they were made to be together.
She deleted people from Facebook, cut everyone from her life who chose to either believe or partake in the false gossip. Finally, they could focus on their relationship without external negativity impacting them, or so she thought.
