Wife Cleans Car To Find Lie Of Seven Years

She flung the metal door upward, flinching slightly as it screeched. In the dimness of the storage unit, she could just make out the hulking object, swathed in a white tarp.

She pulled it off to reveal the car – all too aware that she wasn’t meant to be there.

First, she’d need to dust the car off, then she’d begin to clear it out. But when she popped the trunk open, she found all the evidence of her husband’s double life.

Texas Girl

Lavona was a small-town girl. She had been born and raised in Port Isabel, Texas. She had been married to Charles for seven years now, and they had known each other for ten.

They didn’t have a lot of money. But when baby Taylor came, there was no question that Lavona would quit her job to become a full-time mom. Charles never complained about supporting his family – after all, he’d done it before.

Struggles

Lavona had never had the opportunities that Charles had – going to school, graduating from university with a degree, getting a job that didn’t pay peanuts… everything that she never had just seemed to fall into Charles’ lap.

For her, finding and holding down a job had always seemed like a battle, but Charles had always been there to support her while she was between jobs. She was grateful for that. All they needed was each other… right?

Solid Foundations

Lavona felt like she and Charles had a good relationship. She never resented him when he wanted to spend the weekend with his college buddies, or when he came home from work exhausted and didn’t want to speak to her about it.

However, in the last three years of their marriage, they had become like ships passing each other in the night. They began to spend less and less time together. But when she became pregnant, she thought all that would change. And it did, for a while.

Personal Space

Charles had always enjoyed his personal space, which was fine by Lavona. They didn’t have to do everything together, so they were free to pursue their own interests.

Charles sometimes spent the whole weekend away fishing, and Lavona spent her free time with her small group of close friends.

But Lavona was about to find out that she knew less about what Charles was doing in his alone time than she thought.
