The Throwaway Wife
I was married to my husband for ten years, but our relationship had long been a façade. 
In front of his family, he acted like the perfect husband, keeping up appearances. Behind my back, he would have an affair with Mindy Benson, seeking excitement. 
One day, while I was working at the hospital, my husband brought Mindy here for a prenatal checkup. 
“The baby is already eight months along. Where is the father?” 
“Tyler, the doctor is asking for you.” 
Mindy clung to him, and the two looked like quite a pair.
Our eyes met, and I managed a bitter smile. This time, I would no longer go along with the charade.
