My husband, Steve, ALWAYS acted like every dollar needed a committee vote before it could be spent.
NO GIFTS for birthdays. NO FLOWERS on anniversaries. Nothing. Meanwhile, I paid the bills, furnished our home, and even covered his phone plan more than once.
So when I saw a $10,000 charge from a luxury beach resort, my first thought was—it had to be a MISTAKE. When I asked Steve, he barely blinked. "It's for my mom. And HER FRIEND. She's never had a real vacation."
But something felt off. WHY would my penny-pinching husband suddenly splurge on a high-end getaway FOR TWO?
That night, I did something I'd NEVER done before. I opened my laptop, clicked through some tagged posts... and there it was. A photo. Bright sand. Two cocktails. Two sunbeds. Steve's mother, looking completely at peace under a rainbow umbrella. And right beside her, I saw a painfully familiar smile... His EX.
At that very moment, neither my husband nor his ex had any idea that MY NEXT MOVE wouldn't take long. THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHO THEY WERE DEALING WITH. Without hesitation, I grabbed the key to the car and sneaked into the night.
