My Husband Unexpectedly Surprised Me with a Romantic Dinner, but There Was a Terrible Reason Behind It

 

The narrator returned home to a stunning surprise: her usually reserved husband, Simon, had transformed their living room into a romantic, candlelit dinner setting. Despite the beautiful gesture, she felt an unsettling “flicker of suspicion” from Simon’s oddly tight smile. The dinner was amazing, and Simon even meticulously cleaned up afterwards, an act completely out of character.

When the narrator pressed him, asking if something was wrong, Simon finally confessed: “I… I made a mistake. I’ve been seeing someone. From work.” The bombshell escalated when he added, “She might be pregnant. With twins.” Overwhelmed with rage and heartbreak, the narrator confronted him about the deceptive romantic gesture. Simon, desperate, then stated, “There’s more. I can’t hide who she is anymore,” and made a phone call. The door creaked open, and the narrator’s world shattered: it was her own sister. The narrator passed out from the shock. When she regained consciousness, both her husband and sister were there, confessing their betrayal. The narrator, trembling and hollow, eventually found the strength to scream, “GET OUT! Both of you. NOW!” They left, leaving her world in pieces, struggling to cope with the profound betrayal by the two people she trusted most.

My Husband Left Me for Another Woman After Mocking My Looks During Pregnancy, but I Got the Last Laugh

 

During her pregnancy, the narrator, Jessica, endured constant mockery from her husband, Arnie. He transformed from an adoring partner into a cruel critic, making snide remarks about her appearance, complaining about the house, and ignoring her pain and sickness. He came home late, reeking of perfume, his phone always locked. One night, when Jessica was eight months pregnant, Arnie erupted in a rage over dinner not being ready, screaming at her and cruelly comparing her to his sister: “She still looked good. And she never ignored her husband in bed!” Jessica confided in her best friend, who urged her to leave, but fear kept her rooted.

Then, Arnie accidentally left his phone unlocked, revealing a dating app filled with messages, flirting, hookups, and pictures. While she carried his child, he was with other women. Jessica, though heartbroken, didn’t cry; instead, she began to plan her revenge. As she was about to give birth, Arnie returned with another woman, Stacy, introducing her as his girlfriend and throwing divorce papers onto the table. He cruelly told Jessica he didn’t want her or “your baby,” mocking her pregnant appearance and kissing Stacy in front of her. Jessica, though devastated, signed the papers.

What Arnie didn’t know was that Jessica had a plan. She gave birth to her daughter, Riley, the day the divorce was finalized, then moved in with her mom to heal. Later, Stacy appeared at Jessica’s door, confessing, “Your plan worked. He signed everything over: the house, the bank accounts. He didn’t even read the paperwork.” Jessica revealed she had handled all their documents and had set a trap. She had hired Stacy, a young, beautiful woman, knowing Arnie’s lust would lead him straight into her scheme. When Arnie later appeared outside, distraught and abandoned by Stacy, he confronted Jessica. She calmly told him, “I tricked you, Arnie. You fell right into my trap with Stacy.” His rage turned to pathetic regret, begging her to take him back. Jessica, now confident and free, simply stated, “No,” and walked back into her house with Riley. “I had her. And I needed nothing else.”
