I Lost My Job Only to Discover My Husband’s Mistress Was Behind It All — Story of the Day
I was fired for plagiarizing a project I had spent nearly a year working on alone. To my shock, my husband, Harris, was behind it, betraying me for a woman, Callie, who meant more to him than I ever knew. My revenge began immediately.
At the office, I was confronted by Mr. Thornton and Callie, who claimed the project was hers. Despite my protests, Mr. Thornton sided with her, and I was fired. Distraught, I rushed home, only to uncover that Harris had helped Callie steal my work. They were having an affair.
On my last day, I hosted a farewell party, where I revealed the truth. I presented the real project, showing details only I could have known, and introduced the investor backing me. Then, I unveiled a cake with a photo of Harris and Callie, labeled, “THEY STOLE MY LIFE.”
The room fell silent. Mr. Thornton, apologetic, offered me a promotion, but I declined, deciding to move forward with my own project. I filed for divorce and left for a vacation, ready to rebuild my life, stronger than ever.
