I pulled out my phone and opened our banking app. $47,000 in checking. $23,000 in savings. Money we\u2019d saved for the kids we were going to try for. Money from the house I\u2019d inherited from my grandmother and sold to buy this place with her. I transferred it all to my personal account. Every penny.<\/p>\n
Then, I opened the credit card app. Four cards in her name, all linked to my accounts. Canceled. The car loan she couldn\u2019t afford on her teacher\u2019s salary? Called the bank and had myself removed as co-signer. It would be repossessed within the week.<\/p>\n
The sounds upstairs had stopped. I could hear them talking, probably planning when they\u2019d do this again. Jake\u2019s voice, lower than usual. Intimate. Sarah\u2019s laugh, the same laugh she used to give me.<\/p>\n
I opened my photos and scrolled back two hours to when I\u2019d come home early to surprise her with dinner. The front door had been unlocked. Her car was in the driveway next to Jake\u2019s. I\u2019d climbed the stairs quietly, planning to sneak up on her, maybe catch her reading in bed. Instead, I caught her f***ing my brother in the bed we\u2019d bought together three years ago.<\/p>\n
My finger hovered over the video I\u2019d recorded. Ten seconds of evidence, crystal clear, audio perfect. My wife\u2019s face, my brother\u2019s face. No room for doubt or excuses.<\/p>\n
