My Husband Started Acting Suspiciously Lately, and When I Found Out Why, I Nearly Ruined His Life — Story of the Day

It had been a few days since I caught Trent with Colin. I hadn’t seen him since that night. Nora kept asking, “Where’s Dad?” and each time, I had no answer. I could only tell her he was busy with work.

Meanwhile, Trent’s messages flooded my phone, one after another. By the time he had sent fifty, I finally replied, telling him I needed time.

Couldn’t believe this was happening. How could he lie to me for so many years? I kept asking myself if Colin was the first. Had there been others? Disappointment and sadness slowly gave way to something stronger—anger.

I wanted him to feel the pain he had caused me. That’s when I decided to write a message exposing everything. I planned to send it to his family, who were deeply religious and conservative. I knew it would shock them, and I wanted that. I wanted them to see the truth about Trent. I had it all typed out, ready to go.

I planned to send it later that evening, after I took Nora to my mom’s. But first, I had one last thing to do. I drove to Trent’s office. I needed to see Kira. She needed to know, too. I was ready to tear down everything he had built, piece by piece.

I parked and stepped out of the car, but as I walked across the parking lot, I saw Trent by his car. He was pulling something out of the trunk, but when he noticed me, he froze. I tried to walk past him, but he grabbed my hand, stopping me.

“Alison, what are you doing here?” he asked, his voice low.
