The morning Jack stayed home “sick” — something he never did — I opened the door to find a life-sized statue of him standing on our porch. Every detail was perfect, down to the scar on his chin. Jack went white. Without a word, he dragged the statue inside and told me to take the kids to school. But Noah slipped me a crumpled note he’d found under it.
Jack,’m returning the statue I made when I thought you loved me. Finding out you’ve been married destroyed me. You owe me $10,000… or your wife sees every message. SallyMMy hands shook. By the time I got the kids to school, I knew: my husband had been having an affair.
That evening, proof stared back at me on his laptop — emails begging Sally not to expose him, confessing he “still loved her” but couldn’t leave me. I took screenshots.MWhen I reached out, Sally admitted everything. She hadn’t known he was married. She agreed to testify.
