While on a business trip to support our sick son’s medical bills, I never imagined my world would shatter. My husband Jacob cheated with his colleague Jessie — and she proudly announced her pregnancy when I ran into her at the store. Jacob didn’t deny it; he packed up and left, calling our little boy a “burden” before slamming the door. I was left broken, raising Danny alone.
For months, I drowned in grief and anger, wondering what I’d done to deserve such betrayal. Then, I found Jacob’s beloved keychain — the one thing he cherished most. That’s when I knew I’d get my revenge. I invited him over on the same day Jessie was due to give birth, knowing he’d be torn.
When Jacob arrived, smug and casual, we spoke over pancakes while a hidden nanny cam recorded everything. His touches on my arm, his easy smile, and his comfort in my home — all perfectly captured. As he left with his keychain, I downloaded the footage and sent it straight to Jessie. Hours later, Jacob was banned from the hospital, escorted out as Jessie went into labor.
In the aftermath, Jacob’s life crumbled. Jessie cut him off, his family turned their backs, and he begged me for forgiveness. But I stood firm. “Your sons don’t need a father like you,” I told him. Later, when Danny asked why his dad never came home, I held him close. “I love you,” I whispered. “And that’s all that matters.”
