After a successful day of preparations, I decided to to treat myself to a bit of shopping. Maybe that would distract me from the looming cloud of anxiety threatening to storm down on me at any moment.

Tomorrow is my husband’s birthday and I am throwing him a lawn party with all of our friends and family - except I also invited his mistress. I’m sure to humiliate myself this time. But Alan would have no way of talking his way out of this or gaslighting me - that’s for certain.

Once I arrive at my local shopping center, I begin window shopping for something to wear to the event I had just finished planning. I hadn’t thought of what a lawn party’s attire called for. Normally, Alan was adorned in a suit and tie or a button-up shirt with slacks. Always in his most professional attire and clean shaven. I wonder how he’d appear for his birthday. The party planner had ensured that all guests had RSVP’ed no later than today.

Sadly, it was impossible to know if mistress had RSVP’ed due to not

  • My Millionaire Husband’s Secret   Chapter 22: Jessie’s POV

    Last night went by peacefully. Alan seemed oblivious to my purchase and invitation of his mistress. He simply came home from work, sat down for dinner and we ate in silence.I could feel his eyes boring into me with every bite I took as I continued to play his loving wife.Then we went to bed with a word.Once I awoke, I got dressed quickly and prepared myself to head to the lake to make sure everything was going according to plan for Alan’s Lawn Birthday Event.“Leaving so soon?” I hear from behind me, causing me to jump. I hadn’t notice Alan was sitting on the couch behind me as I walked into the living room to retrieve my purse.“Oh. I just want to make sure everything is prepared for your birthday event today, that’s all.” I plaster my softest smile and turn to leave.“Jessie.” I hear Alan call behind me in an ominous tone. I feel a shiver as I turn around to face him. He was just behind me - almost touching chest to chest once I turned completely around. I feel my breath catch as

    After inviting Alan’s mistress to his birthday party, I watch my phone rest silently in the palm of my hand. I feel foolish staring and waiting for a response to appear from my husband’s mistress. She clearly said all that she had to say. Unless my response caught her completely by surprise?I decide to send the screenshot of our messages to Lincoln. This ensured that I would have tangible evidence of my husbands’ infidelities. Even if they disappear from my phone, they would be present on his. And Alan would be none the wiser.I see a response from Lincoln pop up on my screen almost immediately and find myself smiling. At least I’d have one friend at this party that I could trust and count on. I then quickly delete the text message thread from my phone and head upstairs to bed where Alan is already sleeping peacefully.Alan had escorted me inside but made no effort in convincing me to come to bed with him or try to apologize for what he had said about Lincoln, not that I expected him

    I could feel my eyes getting heavy as time passed by slowly but I still refused to leave. I needed to be close by, in the event that Jessie needed me. There’s no telling what could happen in that house. Alan couldn’t be trusted. And Jessie is in no position to defend herself. She’s exhausted in every possible sense.After a few minutes of dozing off, I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I rush to retrieve it from my pocket as I had put it on ‘Do not disturb’ for all notifications except for those from Jessie. My heart rate picks up immediately as the worst comes to mind. What could have happened? How long have I been sleeping? Where is she?As I finally free my phone and unlock it, I see that it’s a text message thread Jessie had screenshot from her own phone. This mistress was extremely content in tormenting her. It seems almost too personal. But what shocked me even more was Jessie’s response. I couldn’t help but smile as I read the thread. Her response was the Jessie I knew. The

    After pulling out of Jessie’s driveway, I thought about heading back to my office. But it was late and the very thought of Jessie being alone with Alan made me uneasy. If something were to happen, I’d never forgive myself.So, I decided to round the block and park just a few houses from back from hers in the event that she might need me.I knew better than anyone when she wasn’t okay. And after her parents’ death, I felt that it was my responsibility to keep her safe. Jessie and I have known each other for more over a decade. I remember the very first day that I met her.It was autumn. The leaves were changing and street was covered in them. All in different shades of red, orange and yellow. Just like those old romance movies my mother loved to watch.I was walking back home from the park just two blocks down away and I saw the moving truck right next door. It was a week before the start of my freshman year in high school. I walked past them and into my house, heading to my room to se

    I watch silently as Lincoln’s car pulls out of driveway and finally allow Alan to gently escort me inside. I could see that Lincoln’s presence bothered him as he brought me to the couch to sit down.“Jess, I’m really starting to worry about you. You said you were to call Grace and I go upstairs to find that you’re gone.” Alan seemed concerned. And I would have believed him if I haven’t already known about the tracking device.“I just needed some air.” That was true. It just wasn’t the whole truth.“But you came back with Lincoln.” He’s says in a confused manner as though he couldn’t understand my behavior.“He’s just my friend.” And he’s also the only person that I can trust right now.“He’s not a good friend to have around, Jess.”“What do you mean by that?” I could feel anger flush over me. Alan was in no place to judge anyone’s character.“He’s got a reputation of being a ruthless lawyer for a reason. You can’t trust a guy like that. He sells his morals for money.” Just like how yo
