Taking Revenge On My Husband

I woke up with a start from a nightmare, feeling a dull ache in my belly.

Maybe my poor kid had a saw it coming and decided to leave me early.

William already had breakfast ready.

He tried to kiss me, but I dodged.

With a smile, he said, "Still grumpy after waking up? Eat up before it gets cold. I'm heading to work."

After he left, I quietly checked my phone.

Last night, after I found out that he was cheating on me, I left a tracker watch in his car.

Sure enough, he didn't go to the office but picked up Jessica first.

Then they drove towards Seaville.

Two hours later, they stopped in the parking lot of a five-star hotel near Disneyland.

While they were flirting in the car yesterday, Jessica mentioned wanting to watch the Disney fireworks.

William really jumps at her every wish, for Christ's sake.

At dinner, I got a text from William.

Babe, I've been sent on another business trip. Won't be back tonight.

Predictable.

I replied, "OK."

That night, I watched a live stream of Disney’s fireworks on TikTok.

I quickly spotted William and Jessica in the crowd.

I called him on the phone.

At the same time, the guy in the video pulled out his phone and hushed the girl in his arms.

William’s voice came through, "Babe, you’re still up?"

"I can’t sleep..." My voice trembled a bit.

William gently comforted me, "Don’t overthink it. I’ll be back tomorrow—"

At that moment, fireworks lit up above the Disney Castle in the video, accompanied by loud bursts.

"Where are you? What’s with the noise?"

William answered smoothly, "Still at the site. Work’s going on here."

I muttered "hmm" and hung up.

In the video, William sighed in relief, then pulled Jessica back into his arms, kissing passionately under the fireworks.

William didn't get back to the office until noon the next day.

I took a cab there.

Since I rarely appear publicly, his employees didn’t recognize me.

The receptionist asked me to wait in the office area.

I spotted Jessica right away, handing out small Disney souvenirs to her colleagues.

I heard them call her "Mrs. Brown."

So, their relationship was an open secret; I was the only one in the dark.

Jessica noticed me and, after a brief surprise, walked over calmly.

"Jane, long time no see."

I asked evenly, "When did you come back?"

"Half a year ago," Jessica's eyes sparkled with provocation, "William hired me as his assistant."

So they hooked up half a year ago...

Around the same time, I quit my job to conceive a child, took bitter medicine to regulate my body, and took care of William diligently.

No wonder when I wanted to bring him soup before, he always declined with various excuses.

I thought he was being considerate, not wanting me to overwork.

Little did I know he had a pretty girl at his office and was afraid I'd find out.

Probably after receiving a call from the front desk, William rushed over, knocking over several folders in his haste.

"Jane, why are you here instead of resting at home?"

I said calmly, "I need to talk to you. Jessica, you come too."

William glanced at Jessica, guilt written all over his face.

He pulled me aside and whispered, "Stop making a scene. I’ll explain at home."

I raised my voice, "It’s just a meal, what are you scared of?"

Everyone in the office stared, leaving William no choice but to agree.

At the restaurant, William ordered a few dishes and reminded the waiter to skip the onions.

He remembered Jessica didn’t eat onions but forgot I couldn’t have anything fishy or spicy during my confinement.

Jessica said she wanted to try the trendy ice cream across the street, and he dashed off to get it without a word.

I knew Jessica sent him away on purpose.

Sure enough, after he left, Jessica propped her chin and spoke cruelly with the sweetest smile, "I heard you were almost gang-raped not long after I went abroad."
