The Man She Fooled
On the very day I sold my company shares to raise money for my wife’s medical treatment, my phone flashed with a notification about a trending post.
"My husband or my lover, which should I choose?"
An anonymous reply shot to the top of the comments.
"Why choose? I want both."
What followed was a casual, shameless confession. A staged car accident right after the wedding, a fake overseas treatment plan, parents who helped maintain the lie, and millions siphoned off under the excuse of life-saving medical fees. The money was never for treatment. It funded luxury vacations, hotel suites, and a long-term affair.
Someone asked if she was afraid her husband would find out.
Her answer was chilling.
"Why would I be afraid? He thinks he took my first time and swore to take responsibility for me forever. He doesn’t know it was just a repair surgery I did for his sake."
The post ended with a vacation photo. A woman in a bikini, smiling under the sun. And on her waist, a tattoo with the letters 'NG.'
The same tattoo worn by my wife.
