My Billion-Dollar Bet on My Cheating Wife
I've always been one who doesn't express many emotions. That is, until I've married Vanessa Tate.
But the happy life I look forward to living doesn't come to me. Instead, all I see is Vanessa cheating on me with other men to her heart's content.
When she brings another man home for the seventh time and fills the guest room with loud moans, I walk over to the door and knock on it gently. Even my tone is soft and tender.
"My bedtime is between 10:00 pm to 8:00 am the next morning. As long as you keep the noise level down and don't disturb my sleep, I can pretend that this never happened."
The door is opened from the inside, and Vanessa struts out. She casts me a nonchalant glance.
"Got it." Her languid voice is tinged with impatience. "I'll keep it down. You should rest in your room instead of standing in the corridor in the middle of the night."
The young man, who's a new boy toy of Vanessa's, leans against the bedpost. He leaves his collar open purposefully as he says to me in a taunting manner, "You really are composed. No wonder Vanessa keeps claiming that you're the most gracious husband in the whole wide world."
I merely smile wanly, not bothering to give the boy toy an ounce of my attention.
After returning to the master bedroom, I take the liberty to send the photo I've just taken to my mother-in-law, Evelyn Sinclair.
"Mom, I already told you that Vanessa will never be able to control her urges, and yet you refuse to believe me.
"We already made it clear that you'll have to pay me 100 million dollars every time she cheats on me with a man. I hope that you can stick to your end of the bargain."
