Thanks for being here subscribe to cheating stories best so you don't miss new stories was your wife trying to live two lives today's story will do just that enjoy watching it sit in the New York airport is not the most Pleasant way to spend an evening Max DOD observing the boarding process for what he hoped would be his flight home to Charlotte Max along with his two sisters owned a small pharmaceutical company Created by their father several decades earlier his father developed a series of valuable but rarely used pills that made the company profitable but
never offered much room for growth his parents had passed away and Max had spent the last few days in New York negotiating the sale of the company to a major pharmaceutical concern Max and his team of lawyers and Brokers closed the deal today and left it to the lawyers to complete the paperwork Max hoped you Would make it home tonight but it looked doubtful the last flight of the day to Charlotte was fully booked and he was third on the wait list he didn't call his wife Camila because he didn't know what to tell her
he sat at the bar where he could watch the gate and drank his second gin and tonic thinking about the deal and the money he and his sisters would share something over $10 million for him plus a well-compensated transition period with big Pharma which Meant a new lifestyle for him and Camila their twin girls were already out of the nest or at least on their way both were College Juniors at Duke where tuition was eating him alive but all this would change when the deal with the pharmaceutical company closes meanwhile the boarding process was ending
and the agents at the gate were ushering the last passengers onto the plane and then a small miracle happened the boarding sign changed and Max saw that his name appeared on the waiting list he threw the money on the bar waved to the bartender who gave him a thumbs up grabbed his briefcase in duffel bag and ran for the exit the agent at the gate handed him his boarding pass and quickly explained to him and two other passengers that the group of four who had checked in remotely had not shown up so they were given
seats Max ran down the plane with his new buddies and when he got to the Gate he realized he had a first class seat a good sign he thought I got on a flight I'm sitting in first class on my way home a day early this may mean that the pharmaceutical deal will indeed close the boarding door closed as he boarded and the flight attendant asked if he wanted something to drink as they taxied to the runway he felt like he'd earn another drink so he had another Jin and tonic then fell asleep dreaming of
a future for him and Camila with enough Money to always fly first class the shock of Landing woke him up he eventually made it to the taxi stand to take a taxi home he had driven his pickup truck to the airport a few days earlier but now he was exhausted a little drunk and it was really late too late to call Camila to come get him they lived a few miles outside of Charlotte so the cab ride was long enough for him to fall asleep again the driver had to wake him up up when they
arrived Max Paid him added a generous tip and a little sluggishly got out of the taxi it was a long busy day and evening he was already thinking about getting cozy in bed with Camila when the taxi pulled away and he turned towards the house what he saw stopped him in his tracks and woke him up completely a gold Mercedes was parked in the driveway in front of his side of the garage the car seemed like a very fashionable Mercedes but then all Mercedes seemed fashionable to him the house was dark by then it was
past midnight and Max just stood there for several minutes he had spoken to Camila from his lawyer's office around noon and she said nothing about late night visitors he tried not to think about the unthinkable tried to create a happy scenario that would allow him to snuggle up to warm sleepy Camila in just a few minutes however his mind didn't work that way so he slowly walked towards the Door in the passage between the garage and the house he unlocked it entered the quiet house and walked even more slowly through the kitchen and up the
stairs to his and Camila's bedroom the bedroom door was open apparently not expecting visitors and Max stepped inside and then it closed there was no other way to express it his brain stopped working he stopped breathing even his heart seemed to stop beating he saw what he considered Unthinkable kamila slept without clothes spread out on her side of the bed with one arm wrapped around the man who was also sleeping even smiling slightly in his sleep max stood there for what seemed like an eternity but eventually his brain started working again he looked again at
Camila's hand lying across the man and they both snored this broke Max's heart until tonight he had enjoyed listening to Camille snore she was snoring quietly Almost purring Max thought he thought her snoring meant she felt absolutely safe deep in the peaceful sleep that came from sharing a bed and life with Max he often fell asleep with that soft purring sound in his ears but now he would never hear that snoring again never sleep next to her again even with his heartbroken Max began to think again he saw the man's clothes neatly folded lying on
the chair that Max had sat on hundreds of times smoldering rage began To flare up inside Max he pulled up his pants and pulled out his wallet and car keys then stopped to think a little more he could get the ten racket out of the bedroom closet and use it to beat the man up he decided he could also beat Camille both of these actions while satisfying in the short term could cause big problems for Max in the long term another idea began to form in his mind he took out his cell phone to take
some incriminating pictures as the idea Germinated and expanded Max finished taking pictures and then collected all of the clothes and shoes the man was a big guy Max was 5' 10 in tall and weighed about 160 lb the man looked at least four or 5 in taller and perhaps 50 lb heavier a tennis racket may not have been a good idea even in the short term taking his clothes and shoes in his hands Max took one last look at his wife his loving beloved wife the mother of his precious daughters and hardened his Heart against
the love that had fueled him for more than 20 years he left the bedroom still without tears and headed back down the stairs to the outside the key fob beeped and the Mercedes doors opened Max put his briefcase and duffel bag inside and slid into the driver's seat he was never a fan of fancy cars but when he got into the BS he realized that he liked it he figured out the controls put the car in gear and drove off after about a mile Max pulled over And looked at the man's wallet the usual things
some money business cards that identified him as Franklin th Thomson a senior sales manager at a local Mercedes dealership a driver's license that showed a Charlotte address if he had family there Max figured he could cause some real trouble for him of course and maybe Camille too but at the moment Max was exhausted and headed to the nearest motel to get some sleep Camila tronder was a very careful person she knew that She was not as smart as her husband Max but thanks to her caution her affair with Franklin Thompson lasted almost 5 months without
Max suspecting anything Max was still in New York she thought as she lay in bed with Franklin the next morning he was good in bed maybe not as good as Max but out of bed he could not compete with her husband too much like a car salesman she thought coming to the conclusion that it was time to end this affair Franklin was becoming too Possessive he wanted to spend the night with her and she allowed it but that would be the last time she did that she planned to spend the rest of her life with
Max Max and to have a strange man in their marital bed even if Max would never know about it was still too disrespectful she would call Franklin later today and gently but sternly tell him that their Affair was over then she headed to the shower back in the bedroom she was getting dressed when Franklin Returned from the shower with a towel around his waist he stood there for a moment and then asked Camila where did you take my clothes what I didn't move anything anywhere where all your clothes what are you all doing this evening
I folded them right here on this chair but there are no clothes did you take them with you to the guest room they must be here somewhere ah no he muttered heading back Down the hallway to the guest room and then immediately returned no there's nothing there there's nothing here his voice trailed off as he tried to comprehend The Disappearance of his clothes perhaps you left everything downstairs when we came in last night Camila asked a little impatiently thinking that they had both drunk too much the night before no I'm sure I didn't but I
think I'll go take a look Franklin answered heading out of the Bedroom he quickly returned running up the stairs Camila Camila my car is not there my clothes are not downstairs someone was here last night took my clothes and stole my car ah damn it what's going on I'm sorry what Camila tried to comprehend what Franklin was saying how could his clothes and carg go missing the two of them stayed in the house all night could someone have gotten inside suddenly camaa collapsed on the Bed it was Franklin's turn to ask what what camaa tried
to formulate a response but she found it difficult to breathe let alone speak Franklin what if it was Max she finally said what if he came home from New York while we were sleeping in what if he took your things in your car oh Franklin said collapsing on the bed next to Camila you need to find out where he is it could be him but if he's still in New York that means some kind of burglar has broken in which Means we need to call the police I have to get my things and my car
back oh damn this car if we call the police they'll want to know who owns it and it's in my wife's name for some damn tax reason his voice Trail office he imagined a future that could range from just bad to completely catastrophic I'll call his office his secretary arrives very early and she must know where he is Camille took out her phone and dialed Max's office number Even though it was not yet 8:00 Max's secretary answered immediately Max trunks office may I help you hey Sheila this is Camille I know it's very early and
I'm not sure where Max is he didn't call last night so did you hear anything from him Camila it's still early and I know that the team in New York worked late yesterday they'll probably start late today I talked to Max yesterday around 6:00 just before I went home he said they were making good Progress and might reach a deal today that's good to hear so he's still in New York right yes I'm sure he is and I expect to hear from him as soon as they all get back to the lawyer office do you
want me to ask him to call you yes please but only if he has time I know how important this deal is well done bye they hung up and Camille turned to Franklin Max is still in New York so we should probably call 911 and report a break-in and car theft Camila what do we Tell them that your lover had his clothes stolen from your bedroom and his car stolen from your driveway I mean what the we're really screwed here okay okay I understand let's think about it how about I take you home and leave
you there you dress up and Report the thefts as if they happened there while your wife was taking the kids to school maybe you don't report stolen clothing this may be harder to explain than a stolen car Yes Except that yesterday I told my wife that I was going to Atlanta for a meeting about the new Mercedes S-Class and I wouldn't be home until noon okay but we can wait until maybe noon you'll be back anyway you drove home left your keys in the car because it was a short stop before going to the dealership
and your car was stolen while you were at home you know I think it might work and I could say I left my wallet in the car and it got stolen too and we can hang Out here for a few hours maybe we'll end up needing another shower maybe together Franklin okay yeah uh I need to call work to take a sick leave Camille worked as a pargal in a small office firm the work was okay if a bit boring she went out into the hallway to make a call and returned to the bedroom to
find Franklin back in bed she was tempted but after thinking about Max and her recent decision to end the affair she decided to say no Franklin she said without Making the slightest move to take off her clothes I think it's time to end this we had a good run but you know it could have been Max last night we're lucky it was actually a bad guy let's find some clothes and maybe go someplace to eat for breakfast Franklin looked at her thought about trying to convince her but in the end he realized that she was
right they were lucky but they shouldn't go too far yes and with an inner smile he remembered that another attractive Middle-aged mother often came to the car dealership okay I agree it was a good run so how about some clothes it turned out to be not so simple Franklin was 50 lb sounds heavier and 4 in taller than Max Camille finally found a pair of tattered old sweatpants that seemed to fit Franklin after making a few v-cuts at the waist she then tied some strings around his waist to hold up his sweatpants she also found
a sweatshirt that had turned pink when it was Sloppily washed in the washing machine she trimmed the sleeves and cut some more at the arm holes and Franklin had his outfit she wanted to make a comment about the Clown's clothes but she just smiled slightly when she saw his face they decided to watch TV until it was time to go to Franklin's house earlier that morning around the time Franklin discovered his clothes and car were missing Max pulled into the driveway of the address listed on Franklin's Driver's license it was a nice house with a
small bicycle leaning against the wall of the garage Max sat in the car for a while thinking wondering but still without tears his night at the motel passed quickly and he didn't go out for a run until dawn he was surprised that he didn't feel worse perhaps he was still in shock he walked to the front door took out Franklin's wallet with his driver's license rang the bell and a young woman who looked to be in her 20s Attractive but a little frazzled opened the door Max was wearing a suit that he had bought the
day before in New York a white shirt that now looked rumpled and no tie he didn't look his best but he hoped he didn't look threatening he held up Franklin's driver's license so the woman could see it and pointed at the gold Mercedes before he could say anything the woman slammed the door in his face but then opened it again a few seconds Later holding her cell phone in her hand I have 911 on my phone and I'm ready to press send if you don't tell me my husband is okay ma'am I have a photo
on my phone of your husband and my wife in bed at night without clothes and fast asleep to be honest I don't think there's anything wrong with your husband or with my wife either if you want to call 911 call 911 and I'll I'll just wait in the car they looked at each other for a moment until her face fell And she opened the door to let him in she started to say something when they both heard mommy from the kitchen wait here I'll be right back she said turning away and heading back to what
Max assumed was the kitchen he heard voices hers and at least one of the children's she returned handing him a cup of coffee I hope you drink black coffee I have to get the kids ready for school and then take them I'm afraid I trust you more than my husband now you can stay here Until I get back and then we can talk fine okay Max answered I'm afraid we're in the same boat he sat down in the living room and soon a woman appeared with two children she introduced him as Dad's friend and walked
out the door with them Max just sat there drank some not so good coffee thought about calling his office but ended up just sitting there when the woman returned she silently ran up the stairs to the living room a few minutes later she came back Down looking better with her hair combed and her lips a little tinted she extended her hand to Max as they shook hands she introduced herself sorry for the recent commotion I am Molly Thompson currently married to Franklin Thompson who is currently involved with the woman you were currently married to Max
couldn't help but laugh at her turn a phrase and it felt good to laugh you are absolutely right about all the current events at The moment my name is Max tronder and my wife's current name is Camila tronder he then explained what happened last night and saw Molly's tears begin to flow I'm divorcing Camila and I'm sure the photographs will help me get a decent settlement I can send them to your phone if you think you might need them yes I think I should have them Molly answered looking at Max with dead eyes he reached
for his phone but stopped when she said wait don't send them to me if I see them I will never get those pictures out of my head you keep them and if I need them I can call you right of course Max said but then added I probably won't be at my current job for long and I definitely won't be in my current house anymore I will give you the contact details of my lawyer you can always contact him if you need photography or any help in a divorce situation okay thank you Molly said but
what should we do right now are you Returning the car are you going to wait for Franklin and try to beat him up you've seen him he's a pretty big guy even though he's put on a little weight yesterday he was supposed to be in Atlanta for some car meeting and stay there overnight he should be home this afternoon you know I kind of like this car and I've never driven a Mercedes before I think I'll keep it until someone forces me to return it your husband and I must say his name to me is
Molly laughed and then Max joined in both of them needing all the release they could find actually the car is registered in my name Molly said for some tax reason I think more depreciation Franklin or should I say put it in my name since I drive more than he does and she paused thoughtfully then continued you know since I own this car I can issue you a permit to drive and the cops can call me to confirm if you get pulled over Max liked the idea But didn't respond since Molly was obviously still working out
the plan and one more thing she said there have been a lot of break-ins in our area lately you have Franklin's keys and clothes if the key we're hiding in the backyard is missing when he gets here he might try to break in and if our security system is set to instant alert mode he will attract interesting attention from the police Molly I think I'm falling in love again you are Wonderful okay okay calm down Franklin can just wait to come back back until the kids and I get home from school this afternoon but I
can pick them up and go to the park for a while let's give them more time to get into even more trouble whatever happens please let me know especially if he does get into trouble with the police and call me when you need your car back I don't want you to get into any trouble we're done now you need to get out of here and so do I Max Drove off in a beautiful gold Mercedes wondering how much the same won only in a better color would cost Molly gave him the permission slip and he
assumed she would get the hidden key set the alarm and leave for the rest of the day Camille and Franklin actually arrived at Franklin's house around noon Camila dropped him off and quickly rushed off as if she was trying to avoid further infection Franklin walked to his front door hoping that it might not be locked Because Molly was home but at the same time afraid that she might be there there of course it was locked and he hurried around the house to The Rock in the backyard where they kept the spare key but the stone
disappeared oh he muttered looking at the back of his house wondering if he should break in he tried to open the back door but it was also locked so he decided that he really had no choice but to force his way inside he looked at the Windows along the back wall wondering which one would be best to break he stopped at the window into the family room the window was the largest at the back and breaking it would give him more room to enter the house he broke a branch from the tree he was about
to trim and examine the window since he was barefoot he needed a way to get through the broken window glass which he could break he pulled two chairs from the back porch and placed Them next to the window he thought he could climb over the chairs to avoid the glass and then just be careful when he entered the living room a few deep breaths and he was ready to go Franklin threw a branch through the family room window and it shattered with a satisfying crack followed immediately unfor fortunately for Franklin by The Wailing sound of
the home alarm system siren to make things even more unfortunate a police car just happened To be driving down his street as Molly had called the local police station that morning to complain about potential break-ins in their area damn damn damn Franklin muttered trying to quickly climb over the chairs to get into the house and disable the damn security system but not fast enough police stop right there and slowly walk away from the house Raise Your Hands Up Franklin looked back and saw two policemen with pistols he did as he was Told and only cut
his legs slightly as he climbed off the chairs and backed away officers I can explain he began to say when one of the policemen put his hands behind his back and handcuffed him the policeman ignored his attempt to explain himself and read out his rights the policeman then asked if you wanted to say anything yes yes this is my house and I uh don't have a key so so I broke in to get some clothes and call my office the Cops were looking at Franklin's tracksuit perhaps thinking clown clothes when one of them asked them
if he had any identification ah ah no no not now you see I lost my car and all my clothes and stuff and I just need to get inside so I can get some real clothes how did you lose your car sir ah well last night I stayed at a friend's house and this morning the car uh wasn't there it just wasn't huh have you reported a Mysterious disappearance maybe you left it in a bar somewhere Franklin was stumped he didn't want to reveal where he was or why he didn't report the car missing but
he also didn't want to go to jail for trying to break into his own home and the handcuffs were really uncomfortable then he came up with a solution that might work you can call my wife she can identify me and perhaps you could take me to my office I can ask Someone there to help me get some clothes he knew he'd put up with with a lot of crap at the dealership but it was a lot better than going to jail one of the cops took Molly's phone number from Franklin and went to call her
Franklin could hear the police part of the conversation ma'am this is r i from the Charlotte Police Department we are at the address he gave the address and we have a man here who claims to be your husband he tried to break into your House because he lost his clothes and yes ma'am no ma'am uh yes ma'am we will of course do this thank you ma'am he turned back to Franklin the lady says her husband is in Atlanta and anyone who breaks into her house must be a burglar she hopes we throw you in jail
and throw away the key but Franklin was almost crying as the cops led him to their patrol car to take him to the station and Camila she arrived at her office half a day late but she would make up For lost time still thinking about Max since she still hadn't heard from him she called his cell phone but no one answered she then called his office again hello Sheila Camila again I'm starting to get a little worried about Max since I still haven't heard anything from him and you no I have nothing new I guess
this means he's still in New York with the lawyers but it's really not like him to not call you do seem a little worried so I'll call there in Check on him and either he or I will call you back in a few minutes fine thank thank you Sheila you are the best secretary in the world a few minutes later Camila actually received the call back Camila this is Sheila I talked to one of the secretaries at the law office and she said max left late yesterday hoping to catch the last flight to Charlotte so
I called Max on his cell phone to check on him I did talk to him and he asked me to tell him that he Would call later fine thank you Sheila she said disconnected a snake began to grow in the depths of her stomach Max hung up after talking to Sheila he was driving a gold Mercedes to see a divorce lawyer recommended by Fred Thomas his longtime business lawyer he trusted his business lawyer and hoped he could trust his divorce lawyer Mr Thunder please take a seat Miss Reinhardt will be with you in a minute
the secretary told him he sat down somewhat reassured by the Lawyer's office no expensive furniture but not cheap looking either before he had time to worry further a 50-year-old somewhat plump lady with obviously dyed red hair entered the waiting room Mr Thunder Max stood up and nodded and she continued I'm Anna Reinhardt Fred called and told me to take the best possible care of you let's go into my office and talk about your situation Max followed her into a nice but not luxurious office took coffee From the secretary and told his story he found a
cheat in wife wanted a divorce and also wanted to protect his assets especially the proceeds from the sale of his company and his sister's company he skipped the part of the story that concerned the golden Mercedes although he suspected that Anna might find it funny Max is it okay if I call you that he nodded and she continued and I'm Anna good news Well relatively good news considering your situation Fred told me That you and your sisters owned your company before you married your wife so your Shares are considered separate property that is your wife
has no rights to the shares of your company or to the proceeds of the sale but you need to keep the shares and sale proceeds separate from any joint account you and your wife may have this is true I think so what about our house retirement accounts and the like well there's not such good news for you since your salary Is much higher than hers you will be paying some child support for several years we can probably avoid paying anything into the retirement account by increasing the amount of alimony I know it's not attractive but
the short-term pain avoids what's usually worse having to share your retirement money decades in the future and your kids are in college so no child support I assume you don't mind being on the hook for the rest of their college Expenses yes that's suitable what about the house you and your wife must decide what you want you may decide to sell it and split the proceeds or one of you can buy the other's portion based on the current appraised value after what I saw last night I definitely don't want this house I don't think Camila
can afford to buy my half so I guess that means selling okay I can do the paperwork this way the divorce petition is a pretty standard form so I can have It ready for you tomorrow early if you'd like so we can serve it to her tomorrow afternoon God that's pretty fast um hi Mr Thunder Max listen to me if there's a chance for you and your wife that some counseling or just a little time could no no actually it's just a shock for me I mean less than 24 hours ago I was happy I
couldn't wait to get home to my wife and tell her the good news about the sale of the company and now I'm sitting here talking about Filing for divorce but we must move forward I'll figure out how to deal with this okay but if you change your mind just call me and we can work things out Max thanked her paid the advance and left the office he walked back to the gold Mercedes wondering a bit about what was going on with that he'd seen last night and that reminded him that he had told his secretary
that he would call Camille Camille answered the phone in her office at the law firm where she Worked Camila this is Max you called and looked for me oh Max thanks for calling um I missed you where are you I'm here in Charlotte Camille um when did you get back the snake deep in her belly raised its head last night Camila I came back last night and the snake bit a little harsh Camila leaned back in her chair she knew she had to carry on this conversation but she could barely breathe let alone speak camaa
I'm hanging up now no Max no she Managed to squeeze out please please can we meet somewhere I need to see you just see you for a few minutes max hesitated this woman was his love the mother of his daughters the most important person in his life for over 20 years okay Camila the Center Cafe at 6 the snake bit even harder Camila had to agree but the Center Cafe was the place where she and Max had met a long time ago both of them hanging out with friends since then this this Cafe had Become
a special place for them and now she was afraid why Max suggested this but she had to say yes Max I'll see you there and please listen I'm sorry and I love you Max hung up Camila sat and cried and the snake bit more and more Camila came to the cafe early Max was not there yet she ordered a glass of wine and sat there thinking about what a terrible person she was her first real intimate experiences were with big strong football players in college she Played around in high school but it took those college
football players holding her down making her feel helpless when Max arrived she thought she had overcome this need to feel helpless Max was everything she needed strong and bed loving a great father to the girls a good provider that would have been enough if it weren't for the plane ride back too Charlotte from the West Coast Max was visiting some pharmaceutical company Trying to sell a new drug and she accompanied him for the weekend before his meetings began flying home alone on an overnight flight she sat next to a large man the coach of what
turned out to be a local NFL team they chatted drank too much and she fell asleep with her head on his shoulder she woke up with his hand between her legs under her skirt now thinking about that night she knew she should have screamed or at least pushed his hand away but no Camila Didn't do that and the feeling of guilt she didn't remember feeling guilty only relief that Max didn't return until later that week when she and her body had recovered they had a feeling of guilt this coach only worked in Charlotte for one
season and Camille might have become a faithful wife again if he had not introduced her to a forward from the practice squad before leaving not a star not even a new be but just a strong and dominant in bed As the coach was Camilla was actually grateful when she was assigned after some time the guilt finally surfaced she wanted to remain faithful to Max and broke up with her lover Camille thought she was done with her cheating by the time their girls left for college she loved Max dearly and enjoyed the extra time they had
together when the girls were away but the snake slithered in when Max did something nice for her he told her it was time for her to get a New car a luxury car that she should choose and unfortunately she decided to go to the Mercedes dealership where she met Franklin THS son he didn't sell her a Mercedes but he pushed all the right buttons to get her into bed and she knew it was wrong wrong also because Franklin wasn't that good in bed she had gotten away with her previous Affairs and thought the marriage was
intact but now she and Max loved each other more than ever and she wanted to be faithful this Was the right thing and not have intim with a big idiot letting Franklin spend the night in his marital bed would have been a terrible mistake even if Max hadn't discovered them but she had let him him and now she feared the terrible price she might have to pay hello Camila Camille looked up and saw Max standing there he looked much older than he did before he flew to New York and she knew it was her fault
the snake in her stomach continued to bite hi Max thank You for being here I don't even know how to begin to say how sorry I am can I ask a few questions he said sitting down oh Max please no if we have any chance questions and answers will simply kill that chance Max we should run away just for a few days to some island in the Caribbean where we can be reunited where we can hug each other where camaa please you're delusional if you can't answer my questions I'll get up and leave now the
Snake continued to bite but Camille knew she had to endure the pain and let Max vent the way he wanted maybe just maybe he could come up the other side of his anger to some kind of of reconciliation okay Max ask me anything do you know what time I got home last night strange question she thought um no not really it had to be after she shut up she knew what his next question would be and it was and do you know what I saw when I got home when I went upstairs to Our bedroom
or should I say what used to be our bedroom yes Max I know what you must have seen and I know it must have been one of the worst things you've ever seen in your entire life and I know it's entirely my fault that you saw this and I begging you to please listen to me Max I'm sorry so sorry that I won't fight the divorce you want if you want shut up Camila next question how many men have there been since we got married if You're lying if I think you're lying I get up
and leave Camila's first thought was to lie the second thought was that lying was too risky and the third thought was that the marriage was probably over anyway three max three men whom I now regret having ever met I think I can see in your eyes that our marriage is over and I understand it you deserve someone better than me I'm willing to do almost anything to give us another chance but I understand if you Don't want anything to do with me anymore call the lawyer Camila tomorrow you will be served with divorce papers Max
got up and left Camille sat there too stunned to even cry at first while she was thinking about what Max had just said the snake in her stomach bit hard and she actually started crying Max walked out of the cafe remembering how he and Camille first met there decades ago and wondering if this meeting would be the last time they ever had any kind Of intimate conversation intimacy he thought bitterly must be the worst kind of intimacy hearing their wife say that she had a night with other men and to see her with that toad
Franklin in their bed in their bed sleeping her snoring for God's sake how am I ever going to get over this perhaps he could handle three Faceless Men in the 20 odd years they had been together just maybe with some counseling and a lot of humiliation on Her part maybe but you would never get over that scene in their bed their marriage was over and sitting in that damn gold Mercedes he finally cried at some point Max realized that it was already getting dark he blew his nose wiped his face and thought about what Molly
Thompson had said that morning which now seemed like a year ago she told him not to send her pictures of her husband sleeping with camaa she felt that it would be much more difficult to Forgive if she were confronted with Visual Evidence Max decided to call her share this thought with her and check the situation with the Mercedes hello Molly answer the call Molly this is Max tronder from this morning I'm just calling to see how you're doing and what I should do with the car max thank you for calling I seem to be holding
on you can keep the car for now Franklin is in so much trouble that he won't need her for a while Trouble I hope you didn't shoot him no but he might prefer this option he got arrested for trying to break into our house and apparently took a swing at one of the cops you know he's a big guy and the cop hit him with a stun gun then something happened while he was in prison he doesn't want to talk about it but I think he may have been attacked by another prisoner somehow I wouldn't
talk to him and he ended up having to call his brother to post bail and that means His whole family knows what's going on Wow Molly I can't say I feel sorry for him but I feel sorry for you what I really want to say is that you made the absolutely right decision this morning not to look at the pictures of him cheating if you have any chance of reconciling these photos would make make it a lot harder yeah he finally came home a couple of hours ago crying and telling me how sorry he was
and begging me to let him stay at least for now you Know we have two little kids so I'm going to try to figure this out but life won't be easy for him his own brother who is a lawyer told me that I should push for a prenuptial agreement and he said he would help with that besides I'm going to be in control of our finances at least for a while Franklin will be on a fairly short leash and I plan to tug his collar frequently keep it up Molly I wish you all the best
and when you need to return The car just call me they hung up and Max sat there somewhat jealous of Molly perhaps Franklin learned his lesson being arrested and charged with assault for trying to hit a police officer on top of what happened to him in prison may have scared him a lot Max hoped so for the sake of Molly and their children finally he drove back to the motel where he was staying he had one more job to do before he tried to sleep call his daughters Jane and Joan hi Daddy it Seemed to
him that Jane answered they were twins not identical but they might as well have been identical they sounded alike they went to a very expensive college together they studied the same thing nursing at least they didn't look exactly alike close and obviously sisters but not so obvious twins Max often admitted but only to himself that he was happy that they were not identical they were very good at ganging Up on him and he thought it would be even worse if two identical young women were forcing him to buy a car getting him to stay out
late asking for money to go to Florida for spring break or whatever the request of the day is Daddy please but he also admitted again only to himself that he enjoyed spoiling them Janie yes you guessed correctly of course what's the matter listen tomorrow is Saturday and I would like to invite you And your sister to have breakfast well let's call it brunch maybe around 11: or so at that beast on Fourth Street we used to go to um that suits me wait a second he heard a noise and then she came back and Joan
is fine too can we he quickly interrupted her because six or seven of their friends were present at their last brunch let's do this just the three of us okay okay of course Jane replied but tell me what and again he interrupted her not wanting to start a Conversation on the phone which was quite difficult even in person listen I need to run see you at 11: love you and tell your sister I love her too bye and he hung up he hoped she wouldn't call Camila but he couldn't tell her that then she would
have called Camila immediately 11:00 tomorrow morning would come quickly enough after Max left the cafe leaving her with his warning or curse or whatever to hire a lawyer Camille's tears were hard to stop she Knew she had screwed up had screwed up everything her marriage her family her whole life she knew that her daughters would find out her parents would know all her friends would know she would probably lose Max in her home and Max poor poor Max seeing her lying in their bed without clothes probably with that damn Franklin who had a boner this
scene must have nearly killed Max and Camille's tears continued finally the waitress came over And asked if she needed to go to the restroom Camila choked back her sobs and managed to say no thank you she paid the bill and left heading to the house that would soon no longer be her home when she got there she found some Jin just the wrong amount not enough to make her pass out but too much to help her figure out how to get Max back after she drank it all it helped her fall asleep hoping for some
miracle that would bring Max back to her Max was sitting in the Beastro at 11:00 the next morning when his daughters entered he reviewed and approved the draft divorce petition early in the morning then drove two hours from Charlotte using that time to figure out how and what to say to Jane and Joan but first everything is as usual hugs and kisses how is school how is work food ordered and eaten plates cleared and then finally real conversation Dad we know something is wrong Joan Began you look a little sick are you here to tell
us you have cancer or something and if so where is Mom girls yes I have really bad news but nothing physical no one is going to die and it's Mom Jane interrupted she did something terrible oh my god did she run off with one of her firm's lawyers a young strong body that Joanie or I should be chasing both girls burst out laughing taken aback by the absurdity of the idea until they saw that their father was not Laughing Dad no no not Mom no Joan couldn't finish her fear out loud girls listen to me
carefully yes Mom changed she cheated on me but that doesn't mean she cheated on you girls yes that's right daddy Joan said through tears if her cheating is destroying our family then yes she cheated on us just as much as she cheated on you both girls cried and then Max started crying too the girls stood up and tried to hug their dad and hug Each other at the same time Dad let's get out of here Jane said there's a park about two blocks from here and we'll have more privacy there people were staring a bit
so max quickly paid the bill and they walked into the park a girl on each side of him all of them holding each other tell us dad Jane said after they found a bench to share we deserve to hear how bad it is you know Sheek right Joan intervened we are quite mature and can Handle this on the way here I was racking my brains over what to tell you Max began I agree you are both adults and yes you are right your mother did cheat on all of us I'm afraid I found my mother
at home in her bed with another man and she later admitted that there had been other men and before him I think I'm still in a bit of shock but I know that she and I won't be able to recover from this I've already talked to a divorce lawyer and mom is getting a Divorce petition today more tears and then finally silence as they all thought about the news and what their future would be like girls no matter how bad it is you need to put yourselves into your schoolwork first I have enough money to
pay for your senior year here at Duke and if either or both of you want to do graduate work I suspect I can find some money for that too but there is a quidd pro quo here they looked at him what did he mean I'm happy to pay for your Education but I expect you to work hard and get good grades yes but what Mom did makes it difficult to concentrate on school Jones said but you told me that you are adults and real adults mature disciplined people can handle such adversity right they looked at
each other cried again and hugged him yes yes yes daddy you are the best and we absolutely positively will not let you down Joan encouraged him while Jane looked Thoughtful Dad Joan is right we won't let you down but what about you will you be okay what are you going to do well you can think about a lot in a two-hour Drive first I want you both to know that what you said does not surprise me at all I know you will continue to do well in school and I will continue to be proud of
you as for me what my mother did beat me up pretty bad I could crawl into a hole and just you know suffer feel sorry for myself try to find a way To make peace with your mom but I realized that this doesn't suit me I've spent my entire adult life caring for other people when I started working for my grandparents company I took care of them and then after they left I took care of my sisters as they own their shares in the company and then I took care of my mom and I took
care of you girls it sounds like I'm complaining but I'm really not the company will soon be sold and this will relieve me of Responsibility for my sisters Camila left and you guys I promise that I will be happy to take care of you to help you start your adult life so what two home runs out of three in terms of the women in my life not bad at all that leaves me and guess what I look at this whole story with betrayal and divorce not as is the worst thing in my life but as
a chance to start a new life a whole new life dedicated to caring for one person me fine dad really I mean if you really Mean what you say that's great Jones said Jane was a little more skeptical dad what does all this really mean New Life what work for another pharmaceutical company are you buying a farm what a good question and I really don't have a good answer no details yet but this new life will be physical I'm going to run marathons climb mountains swim across the Atlantic climb the Alps go on Safari I
have a million things I'm going to do and guess What while I'm doing these things I might meet a nice woman doing the same thing and who knows damn it Dad this this is amazing both girls looked at him with their mouths open this was their father not some enterprising stallion did you really come up with all this while driving here from Charlotte asked Jane well yes partly but besides I didn't sleep much and different ideas were spinning in my head I mean I could start drinking and feeling sorry for Myself but instead I'm going
to make the best of this mess trust me I'll be fine Max left his girls with more hugs and kisses and tears as he headed back to Charlotte still in the gold Mercedes as soon as Max left the girls called their mother on the phone hello a creaky voice answered the phone in the trerk house Mom this is Joan and Jane we had breakfast with Dad and he told us some terrible news what uh what did he say Camilla's voice Trembled well divorce was a terrible word and the reason was your betrayal dad gave us
a little more detail but that's basically it this is true oh girl this is difficult he and I have been married for a long time and this this uh well this uh mistake yes I made a big mistake well more than one actually but I'm sure we can get through it I just need to give your father some time to Mom Joan interrupted listen dad said divorce he didn't talk about fixing the Error mom he was talking about cheating well yes technically he's right but that doesn't mean we can't fix it I told him I
would do anything mom it was Jane's turn to interrupt I think you're delusional he told us that he had already met with a divorce lawyer he actually said there was no turning back for you too Joan and I don't want to take sides but you have to understand reality tormented breathing on the other end of the line Joan and Jane looked at Each other should they have gone to Charlotte finally Camila spoke not much louder than a whisper I know I know I know I screwed up and ruined my marriage I think your father hates
me and he's right I've done disgusting things he told me to hire a lawyer and he was right about that too I'm sorry girls I know it's terrible for you too Mom don't worry about us Joan said everything will be fine with us and I know that Dad is doing everything in his power you need To take care of yourself hiring a lawyer sounds like a good idea Jane and I can go to Charlotte if you need it thank you girls this is nice I'll be okay I just need some time to get used to
what I did they hung up the girls still didn't know what to do you know Jan said it's funny although it's not funny but we're more worried about mom who created all this mess than about Dad they talked some more eventually deciding not to go home but to let their parents deal with each Other without their daughters interfering Camila sat in her home in Charlotte a little hung over from the Gin she had drunk the night before and more than a little depressed after talking to her daughters she knew she had to get up get
dressed and leave the house do something she thought as her thoughts turned to perhaps buying some more gin the doorbell rang Camilla opened the door A young woman stood on the threshold can I help you Camilla Asked yes ma'am are you Camila tronder Max tr's wife why yes it's me why are you asking ma'am you have been served the woman said handing Camila a folder with documents and taking photographs what what Camilla asked as the woman walked back to her car Camila returned to the house and sat down at the kitchen table to look at
the mysterious folder when she saw the title of the first document she almost fainted a petition For divorce she remembered Max's last words to her get a lawyer as she sat there looking at the familiar kitchen she had enjoyed with Max she knew the Happy Days wouldn't come back after what she had done Camila was right she and Max did not return after her betrayal six years later sitting in the ballroom of an expensive hotel and watching Jane dance with her new husband Camila mentally plunged into the past when the girls were teenagers she Thought
life was terrible too many activities too much teenage angst too many boys who were either too mean or from Camila's point of view too nice to the girls Max was too busy with his assistant job and lawyers were too boring life had been overwhelming then but now she missed it terribly she was still working at the same Law Firm doing the same boring paperwork she dreamed Camilla here's 's your wine Camille looked at her bow the perfectly sweet Middle-aged ponchy balding lawyer who had escorted her to Jane's wedding in reception the bride looks lovely just
like her mother thank you Carl you're sweet and thanks for the wine he was a sweet man and she could imagine marrying him if he was interested but he definitely wasn't Max she couldn't help but look across the room at Max Max had just returned from a mountaineering trip to Nepal and Camila thought he looked like one of those bronze Greek god Statues tanned incredibly fit even more handsome than she remembered right now he was smiling and laughing with Joan and her boyfriend holding hands with a woman as beautiful and as fit as Max Joan
told her that Max had met the woman on another mountaineering trip somewhere in South America and they had been traveling sailing and climbing together for several months Camille felt sick just thinking about it Camila Carl tried to Attract her attention yes Carl Camila I think we should leave you fulfilled your duties as mother of the bride and staying here drooling over your ex-husband isn't doing you any favors and I dare say this is not very good for the relationship that we have with you Carl you're sweet and you're absolutely right let me go say goodbye
to my daughters and we'll be out of here Camila hugged and kissed her daughters wished the newly Woods all the best and As hard as it was for her ignored Max and his two cute girlfriends Max actually saw Camila as she left the hall and felt a slight pain of sadness for their old times together while he was watching her Joan asked him a question sorry Joanie what were you saying Daddy remember that Strang looking gold Mercedes you were driving when you Jane and I had breakfast that morning when you came to visit us at
Duke what happened to that car ah Joanie That's a whole story that I won't bore you with let let me just say that I borrowed this weird gold Mercedes from a friend and ended up giving it back to her I think she sold it it was truly an unlucky car and Max turned to his friend to talk about their next trip to the mountains today's hero did exactly that what would you do in this situation write your answer in the comments see you in the next video
