The Accident That Exposed My Husband's Lie
After Nathaniel Cross promises to break things off and refocus on our marriage after having an affair, I give him three chances to meet with the young lady to end things between them completely.
He uses every possible moment to spend time with her. They have dinner and do crafts. He even stays by her side through the night.
When he comes back, he throws away everything that has to do with her and takes my hand again.
"Trust me. I'll never betray you again," Nathaniel promises.
One day, I collide with a young woman on the road.
She makes a phone call to ask for help. The voice that answers belongs to one of my husband's friends.
"Nathaniel, I don't think you should go. You've already used up all three chances. If Caroline finds out about this, she'll definitely ask for a divorce."
Then, I hear Nathaniel's confident reply.
"Caroline is an orphan. No one has ever loved or cared about her. She's more afraid of divorce than I am. Just keep quiet about this. I know what I'm doing. This is the last time."
I feel my entire body turn cold. Only then do I realize that the sobbing woman in front of me is the mistress he has been so devoted to protecting.
20 minutes later, the man who has just sworn to return wholeheartedly to his family with me rushes frantically to the hospital.
