Wife’s extramarital affair with the college student upstairs

The woman I had been in love with for many years had cheated on me. It had been going on for at least a few months and I was completely unaware.

After finishing work, I asked my supervisor for a half-day off and took a taxi to the law firm where Olive worked. I wasn’t there to see her but to check on the car she had driven that morning.

Using the spare key, I unlocked the car and accessed the dashcam footage. The playback interface was clean, with only this morning’s recording left, unedited.

After dropping me off at the office, Olive had received a call. It was her friend, Rachel.

“Did you have a fight with your little wolf cub?”

“What's wrong?”

“He couldn't reach you, so he called me.”

Olive replied coolly, “He crossed the line. I warned him not to disturb Danny. This morning, when Danny and I were leaving, he deliberately showed up in front of us.”

Rachel sounded a bit frustrated. “What are you thinking? If you don’t want Danny to find out, why let your affair partner move into the apartment above you?”

Olive was silent for a moment before softly responding, “Danny hurt his leg before and needs help. I didn’t feel comfortable letting a stranger take care of him.”

Rachel sighed. “I don’t understand you. You’ve been through so much together, but now... never mind, just be careful.”

“Yeah, I know my limits.”

I called Olive to let her know that my college buddy Harry needed to talk and I’d be staying at his place tonight.

Olive offered to drop me off after work, but I declined.

There was a hint of hurt in her voice. “Why not? Do you no longer need me? I'll drop you off at his place and leave. I won’t interrupt your time.”

“I've already arranged it with Harry. He’s coming to pick me up.”

“Well, you have to come back early. I can’t sleep at night when you’re not beside me.”

A pang hit my chest and I fought back tears as I forced a smile and agreed.

Before getting out of the car, I hid a recording pen in Olive's car.
