All Chapters of My Husband's Betrayal: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Alice Walker“Sister?” I blurted out spontaneously.Jensen turned around and gave me a wink. I understood his signal. Together with the twins, we took a few steps back from him.“Please don’t cause any trouble and leave us alone. If you insist, we’ll call the police,” Jensen said. I didn’t expect him to be so articulate. But that wasn’t what moved me. It was his courage and attitude that amazed me.An unexpected reaction occurred. A group of five teenagers, all tall and well-built, laughed loudly. If I guessed correctly, they were high school students. Probably tenth or eleventh graders.Two of them had acne-covered faces and were slightly overweight. The other three were quite handsome and had athletic bodies like basketball players. However, I didn’t like the look in their eyes. It was a look that wanted to strip me naked. They licked their lips as if they thought I was food they wanted to taste. But I knew what they meant. I had seen eyes like theirs when my mom was hugging two men

HannahAfter showering and putting on our Christmas-themed pajamas, Chris and I hurried downstairs to join the others. That night, we were all wearing the same Christmas-themed pajamas, with the same pattern but different colors. The women wore red pajamas, while the men wore green pajamas. We also wore red Christmas hats.“Finally, you’re here,” Mark said.“We’ve all been waiting for you,” Mom said as she carried two large paper boxes filled with salty and sweet popcorn.“Hmm, I want popcorn,” I said.“Later. Now help us in the kitchen,” Mom answered. I joined Mom, Anne, and Chloe in the kitchen to prepare dinner. Meanwhile, Alice and the twins were to set the dining table. Chris, Mark, and Jensen set up the living room, which would be used for gift exchange and watching movies together. So, after the gift exchange, we would watch a movie together. We had agreed on the movie a long time ago. Therefore, Mom prepared popcorn, potato chips, and Cokes.I saw that the roast chicken in the

Bella HowardI waited quite a while in the car while observing the situation inside the restaurant. The distance made it difficult for me to find Jason’s location.While holding back my frustration, anger, and jealousy, I tried to send Jason a message.“Have you arrived at the office? Have you had breakfast?” I asked via text message.I waited quite a while for his reply. Five minutes passed, and there was no reply until fifteen minutes later when a reply came to my cell phone.“Yes, I’m going to get breakfast in a minute. Are you at Emma’s school?” he asked, trying to change the subject.“Okay. Have a good day at work. Will you have dinner with us?”“Hmm, I don’t think so. I’m going to have dinner with my coworkers at a restaurant that just opened. Go to bed first. Love you,” he wrote.He’s really good at acting. I never knew Jason was good at acting and lying. In fact, I already knew the truth. If I hadn’t followed him, I would never have known the truth.What a jerk! He’s much more

Bella HowardThe next morning, during breakfast, I gathered my courage to tell my parents everything. After all, they had to know that my marriage was not going well. In fact, the marriage we had fought so hard for might end up in court.I could tolerate every mistake Jason made, but I couldn’t tolerate his infidelity. Every lie he told to cover up his relationship with that woman tore my heart into tiny pieces and destroyed the trust we had built over the years.Emma, who was sitting next to me, listened too. She is eight years old. While putting food in her mouth, she looked at me. I tried to explain to her in simple terms that her father and mother may someday separate, but the love Emma will receive from us will remain the same. She seemed to understand, even though her eyes were teary, and eventually, clear liquid ran from both of them.I pulled Emma’s small body into my arms. I let her express all her sadness, even though I wanted to sob and cry myself. Emma sobbed as she asked,

Bella HowardThe next morning, I deliberately woke up early, even before the sun rose, my eyes wide open. Since last night, even though my body felt tired, my eyes seemed reluctant to close. My mind kept working, but I didn’t know what I was thinking about.I had prepared everything I was going to take with me from the house and deliberately put it in Emma’s room. When I got out of bed, Emma woke up and opened her eyes.“Mom,” she called.“Yes, sweetheart. Go back to sleep; I’ll wake you up later,” I said.“I can’t sleep anymore. I’m thirsty,” she replied.“Okay, let’s go to the kitchen,” I said.We both left the room. The lights in the living room were off. The doors to my and Jason’s bedrooms were closed. I opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of water for Emma, and gave it to her.“Thank you, Mom.”Since we were already in the kitchen, and I was hungry too, I made breakfast and tea. That way, the four of us could leave the house early.I asked Emma to sit at the dining table
