Mr De La Cruz just ended a phone call looking really happy using my skills I moved over $10 million through four countries and 12 Banks successfully handling his funds and protecting him from government scrutiny I'm Tony Cardone known and respected for my expertise in moving money hiding funds and keeping people safe from legal issues I don't ask where the money comes from and I don't interfere with their business to protect myself from legal issues and stay morally upright i f follow a simple rule don't ask questions to avoid being lied to my work has earned
me a good income using my strategies I have 16 bank accounts in eight countries 10 crypto wallets and a company that manages my house cars bills and expenses I receive a $50,000 annual salary from the company which I use for unexpected expenses the company makes a small profit yearly to stay legal and protect me from civil suits lawsuits or divorces by showing minimal net worth and income many clients appreciate my value and offer me things I can't accept as thanks for solving their money problems such as women medicaments trips protection and more until now I
haven't taken anything from them my current situation requires me to accept help with surveillance protection and some Force related aspects business friends were glad to assist and thank me for my work my wife Jen sees me as a financial adviser not knowing my earnings funds or offshore accounts she knows the company covers our mortgage cars and expenses she hasn't asked because she doesn't need to work drives a new luxury car yearly and has an unlimited budget for shopping and entertainment I thought Jen was happy and loved being with me throughout our 5-year marriage we had
satisfying and frequent closeness making it feel like paradise but apparently my Paradise is about to face a category 5 hurricane Jen and I dated for two years got married at 25 and have been married for 5 years Jen just turned 30 with attractive features that make her a dream Trophy Wife blonde hair and amazing blue eyes can charm any man despite constant attention she proudly displays her marital status before we married I found out she dated a man named Josh Winters in college she was madly in love with him but he enlisted in the Marines
and their relationship eventually fizzled out now I've learned that 8 years later Josh winter left the military and came back to our city Jen couldn't move on from her feelings for him when Josh finished his two tours he naturally reached out to old friends including my wife Jen had always been Enchanted by him and after getting her cell phone number from a mutual friend he texted and called trying to reconnect like in the past Jen started acting differently about 6 weeks ago probably feeling guilty about her secret communication with Josh she engaged in excessive attention
and addition closeness activities with me which was pleasant but unusual for Jen although she was always cheerful it was evident from her actions that something had changed I didn't wait and paid closer attention to Jen during a weekend barbecue a friend mentioned Josh stating he was back in town I inquired about when he returned and it coincided with the changes I observed in Jen the next day I called a business friend informed him of the situation and mentioned I might need his help he was excited to help me considering the money I made for him
and how I kept him out of trouble with the feds I provided names and information and he assured me they would contact me soon who knows what these guys do however they swiftly provided me with a 4-in dossier on Josh Winters containing almost his entire life history from a copy of his birth certificate to college records family tree and military records I knew more about this guy than his own mother I also received a daily print out of his text messages including over 15 messages per day to my wife I was told not to ask
where they got this information initially the messages were friendly what you'd expect from an old friend however after the first week they became close I was relieved to see Jen halt his advances but after another week of his persistence he managed to overcome the barriers and she began to flirt back my anger grew because I knew Jen still had feelings for him and I sensed trouble ahead after 4 weeks of flirting and texting he convinced Jen to meet him for lunch shockingly he even had the audacity to ask her to wear something handsome for him
because he missed her so much to my horror she agreed and even asked if she should forget her underwear my anger reached a level I hadn't felt in a long time just like old times I sought advice from my business partners on how to deal with this situation we agreed it would be best for me to meet them face to face during their lunch with someone nearby for protection if needed we knew exactly when and where they would meet thanks to my friend's surveillance group assisting me with this problem entering the restaurant I found them
in a secluded area Jen wore a revealing dress with a low cut and no bra making me Furious again they sat together in a private booth with their backs to the restaurant looking pretty cozy I noticed a man following me whom I assumed was one of my bodyguards approaching their table my wife and her friend looked at me when I greeted them casually and slid into the booth across from them the large man who had been watching me now sat three tables away looking at Jen with a friendly smile I inquired if my wife would
introduce me to her friend sensing the tension in the air as I locked eyes with Jen Josh appeared confused when he glanced at me while my wife displayed a mix of shock and guilt they continued sitting side by side holding hands on the table once she realized the situation she attempted to free her hand from Josh's grasp but he held it tightly giving me a knowing smirk that conveyed he wasn't backing down my wife nervously introduced Josh as Josh Winters and gestured towards me her husband Tony I'd never seen her so uneasy Josh seemed amused
maintaining a silent confidence as if to communicate I've got your wife and there's nothing you can do about it buddy remaining composed I addressed Jen expressing my need to talk to her privately for a few minutes I requested him to let her step away from the table he reluctantly let go of her hand allowing her to leave the booth she stood up clutching her purse to her chest standing between Josh and me appearing scared and worried I took her hand and led her to the back of the restaurant towards the restrooms still nervous and feeling
guilty about being caught with Josh she walked quietly without saying a word I pulled her into the empty men's room and started addressing the the situation I mentioned her lack of a bra and the revealing dress expressing confusion and hurt about her apparent disrespect she stood there shedding tears without uttering a word then I raised the Hem of her dress to verify the absence of underwear seeing my expression change from horror to rage she observed as I held the dress above her waist and turned her to face the mirror forcing her to confront her reflection
I pointed out the lack of underwear expressing my dissatisfaction with her dressing when I'm not around she screamed pulling her dress down to cover herself she insisted no it's not what it looks like I know it sounds bad but I have a good explanation and you will understand I promise to explain in a commanding and Stern tone unlike anything she had heard from me before I spoke slowly emphasizing every word I communicated the need for a discussion and laid out the terms making it clear that if she wanted any hope of remaining married she needed
to comply with my dire directives otherwise our marriage would end immediately you're going to grab your purse walk out looking straight ahead without acknowledging your boyfriend go straight to your car drive home put on the coffee pot and wait for me to come back I'll be no more than 10 minutes late don't text or call your boyfriend or anyone until we talk I'll talk to your boyfriend and explain why you had to leave I noticed she avoided eye contact probably feeling guilty about getting caught and one more thing when you arrive home don't change your
clothes stay in this dress wait for me in the same way if you don't follow my request don't bother coming home tonight I'll call you later and explain how things will develop from now on oh my god what have I done when Josh approached me I was relieved to find out he was safe and no longer in the military as I always worried about his well-being Josh was my first love and it took me a long time to get over him even though we went our separate ways after he left me years ago and there
was no longer any love between us thoughts of him lingered I am certain I love Tony my life partner since we met I would never want to lose him or cause him pain that's why this situation is so challenging darn it Josh started flirting and saying things he knew would provoke me he had a way of making me feel like a school girl and doing things against my will I despised that I couldn't resist I tried to push him away but his persistent flirting and suggestive messages is wore me down until I eventually agreed to
meet him for lunch talking to him made me feel guilty and mean I knew I shouldn't be doing this and I should have told Tony about Josh's return and our conversation but I kept it a secret and the regret is overwhelming Josh has a knack for making me feel connected to him when he asked me to wear something handsome I agreed knowing it was wrong and that I shouldn't even be going to lunch with him let alone wearing that dress yet I did it what made me suggest going without underwear am I truly that shallow
and foolish yes when we dated he always insisted I go without them when he invited me to lunch old memories flooded back and it felt normal I almost declined due to guilt but a text from Josh saying he couldn't wait change my course it was tough not telling Tony but I thought one dinner for Old Times Sake wouldn't be a big deal just a couple of hours just like old times just like he said Josh knew how to persuade me even when I resisted to be honest when I saw him in the restaurant I felt
a certain desire our chemistry was special and now he looked even prettier than I remembered eight years in the Marine Corps sculpted muscles that any woman would admire my face turned red as he kissed me and helped me into a private booth it felt like old times laughter happiness and excitement when he held my hand on the table I felt safe and warm we were there for just a few minutes laughing and enjoying ourselves when out of nowhere Tony appeared in front of us suddenly he sat down right in front of us with a sadistic
smile sending a chill down my spine my heart stopped as I realized the gravity of my actions when Tony saw us holding hands my world crumbled I saw pain and anger in his eyes and I wanted to jump over the table hug him and tell him how much I loved him easing his pain I could never intentionally hurt Tony but that's exactly what happened the way he looked at me with disgust and contempt shattered my heart the man I love who I've been with for The Last 5 Years saw me with another man an old
flame I was paralyzed and speechless not knowing what to do when Tony said he wanted to talk my heart sank anticipating the end of our relationship as he pulled me into the men's room I didn't know what to expect when he lifted my dress to reveal I wasn't wearing underwear I nearly fainted I can only imagine what he was thinking in that moment I felt like a fallen and Unfaithful wife when he told me to go home and wait for him the gravity of his words scared me I knew I had to listen to save
our marriage and make him understand why I did this I need to fix this and agree with whatever he says when he mentioned talking to Josh alone I got worried for Tony Josh is much bigger and has eight years of Marine training I feared Tony might get hurt I wanted to tell him not to do it but I felt confused I tried to apologize but Tony insisted I go home home saying he would be there soon when he told me not to change clothes I realized I was in trouble and explaining my actions would be
difficult how did I let Josh convince me to do this I didn't want him in my life I just wanted to reminisce and have some fun from Tony's perspective though I looked like I was about to have bed life with Josh darn it how can I fix this I felt like everyone was watching me as I walked to my car I didn't dare look at Josh and I knew he wondered where I was going it took a few few minutes before I stopped crying enough to drive home it felt like the longest trip ever seeing
pain in Tony's eyes made me cry again how could I do this to him I can't believe I let Josh manipulate me like that now I have to make Tony understand and forgive me darn I'm in such a mess all because of Josh and my stupidity when I got home I made coffee and wondered about their conversation how long before Tony comes home will he be angry can I Salvage our marriage I need to I don't want to live without Tony and he must know he's the only one I love I went back to the
table and talked to Josh well it seems Jen won't be returning and I just wanted to talk to you you must know she still has feelings for you and is easily manipulated as you've seen today and over the past few weeks but understand she's married to me and I won't share her I'm not possessive or Reckless today I decided to give Jenna choice either stay in our marriage or leave me for him but not both she would decide without his influence I expressed that if she chose him so be it however if she wanted to
stay she would have to cut contact with him I made it clear that if he didn't hear from her today he shouldn't call or text again I emphasized that she was a grown woman making her own decisions and didn't belong to him he confidently asserted that she would be with him again claiming she couldn't resist their past with the same smirk in response I addressed Josh expressing hope that he would be reasonable I acknowledged his attractiveness and size suggesting there were plenty of single women interested in him I questioned why individuals like him couldn't leave
married women alone I proceeded to reveal my knowledge about him and his life mentioning details such as his parents' names the love for their dogs the duration since he last saw his sister in Austin and his best friend Billy's girlfriend being pregnant with a boy I pointed out his persistence in text messages to Jen and warned him that my work friends who owed me a lot were ruthless I challenged him stating that tonight would determine who the better man was I mentioned my willingness to be objective and respect her choice even if she picked him
I asserted that I wouldn't live with a woman who desired another man and wouldn't share her although it would be painful I preferred to let her go and move on in the event that she chose to remain faithful I outlined that there would be changes both of them had damaged my trust and it needed to be rebuilt I informed him that if she stayed with me he would have no more contact no texts emails calls or reaching out to friends he would vanish from her life if you happen to see her in a restaurant turn
and walk away at a party or Club leave if you spot her don't try anything behind my back or contact her as the pain you'll feel will be beyond anything you've experienced your loved ones will pay for your stupidity do you understand what I said do you grasp how serious I am Josh sat there stunned not knowing what to think how do you know so much about my family and my life like I said I have friends who owe me favors and they're not people you want to get involved with I might seem Meek but
there's more to me than meets the eye are you really going to offer her a chance to leave you for me I keep my word yes if she were any other woman who disrespected me like today I'd have kicked her out but I love her and I'll give her one chance if you're right and she can't resist you by midnight she'll contact you the other choice is to forget you keep my vows and remain her faithful husband if she stays you'll be dead to her no more interference in our marriage Josh expressed his belief that
I should keep my word about letting them live in peace because according to him she would want to be with him he claimed she had told him as much and emphasized how much she desired him a attempting to sound confident his Foolin made me wonder if there was any truth to his words a question that would be answered soon as I left the man in the shadows stood up cast an angry look at Josh and then departed a minute after my departure Josh received a message indicating that I had a bodyguard challenging the assumption that
I was an innocent Meek husband while driving home I pondered whether the woman I loved would ever be in my bed again I questioned whether she would choose him and leave me or remain true to her vows upon entering the house the atmosphere was quiet she sat nervously at the kitchen table Tears In Her Eyes pouring myself coffee I took a seat across from her I addressed Jen stating that I knew everything including her texts to Josh I mentioned having friends in my business who owed me favors individuals she would prefer not to meet despite
her apologies I conveyed that they were now meaningless she had betrayed my love and her AC that day had shown a level of disrespect for me as her husband that I had never anticipated you know me and I've made it clear that I won't tolerate living with a woman who doesn't respect me our vows and the sanctity of our marriage in my world cheating extends beyond the physical even the mere thought of being with another man is a betrayal actions such as engaging in conversations with Josh wearing a provocative dress without a bra suggesting not
wearing underwear all of these are considered lies the Act of sitting together and holding hands especially in my eyes constitutes treason collectively these actions indicate that you gave your love to a man outside our marriage admittedly there was no kissing which is the sole reason we are still having this conversation however I want to make it clear that I will never share you and I won't tolerate a cheating wife I know you were close to Josh and I understand you still have feelings for him however you're married to me and I won't share you with
him or anyone else I haven't asked you to leave because I love you deeply and will do anything to keep us together before we continue I have a question don't lie I might already know while sitting with him without underwear did he touch you has anyone else in our marriage touched you there no I swear never only you today she was willing to let him I questioned her and she lowered her head crying apologizing for her actions she expressed regret and asked for forgiveness I acknowledged that apart from a few handshakes and text messages nothing
had happened to end our marriage however I expressed disappointment and questioned her choice of dress asking if she had planned to seduce him and get him into bed she denied any intention of sleeping with him explaining that she wanted to look handsome for him and relive old feelings despite understanding her past feelings for Josh I emphasized that I would never share her with another man and presented her with a choice I lat out the options she could choose between Josh and our marriage if she wanted to be with him I would let her go ensuring
a fair divorce and safety for both on the other hand she could stay in our marriage remain faithful and honor our vows I made it clear that if she chose Josh she would need to leave the house by the weekend and I would initiate divorce proceedings if she chose to stay married she would have to cut all ties with Josh I emphasized the gravity of her decision and left her with the ultimatum stating that she had a get out of jail card but needed to Choose Wisely I then left the kitchen instructing her to sit
and think about it I conveyed that if she chose Josh I would ask her to leave the house with her belongings by the weekend initiating divorce proceedings immediately I made it clear that if she wanted to stay married she could not be involved with Josh again emphasizing that he would be dead to her I reiterated the same demands I had communicated to Josh ensuring that there should be no possibility of them being in the same place at the same time she agreed without hesitation before leaving the kitchen I emphasized the gravity of her choice presenting
it as a once- in a-lifetime opportunity I instructed her to choose between her ex-lover and her loving husband stating that I needed an answer when I returned from the shower as I left the kitchen she spontaneously declared of course I choose you honey I love you and don't want anyone else despite hearing her words I insisted that she sit and think about it carefully if we were to stay married she would need to rebuild the trust we once had and help me overcome the pain and anger she had caused I stressed the difficulty of this
task and urged her to give me her answer after I returned from the shower considering her actions and feelings for Josh I emphasized that this decision was too significant for her to make without deep inner reflection after taking my time time showering and getting dressed I returned to the kitchen she ran up to me expressing love and remorse promising never to leave me and vowing to be the perfect wife she declared her desire to have my children and pleaded for me not to leave her emphasizing that I was the only man in her life we
shared moments of kissing and hugging and then I carried her to our bed feeling a sense of having my wife back fueled by anger my actions led to an closeness encounter with this beautiful woman who willing surrendered herself to me she expressed love urging me to take her pulling me closer and kissing me tenderly we shared a prolonged moment of closeness reaching emotional highs together afterward we silently embraced for an hour feeling a sense of reconnection as the world around us faded away we embraced the roles of husband and wife again confident that nothing would
ever come between us the following day Josh concluded she didn't call me so I guess she decided to stay with this ID idiot I can't believe this our connection and her actions made me think she would want to stay with me if I could have gotten her into bed that day she would have left Tony in a heartbeat as soon as I can do this she will be mine again her husband really messed up my plans who is this guy and how does he know so much about me and my family well I'm not done
yet and I think I can get her back sorry Tony but you're going to lose this girl a few days later idiot Josh finally texted Jen trying to convince her to leave me and be with him which didn't surprise me the good news was that Jenna showed me the text message and didn't respond to it I told her I had already seen his message and was glad she didn't respond showing me the text was a smart step towards repairing our trust issues the following day I sent a text to Josh inquiring about his parents success
in finding Casey and Mickey Josh promptly called his parents learning about their distress upon discovering the dogs were missing he realized that his involvement with Jen had hurt his parents despite Tony's previous warning to emphasize the seriousness of the situation I made the dogs disappear for a few days under close supervision after Tony's warning Josh called me back immediately after speaking with his parents expressing anger and concern he demanded to know what I had done and issued a threat stating that if the dogs weren't alive he would do bad things to me I responded by
reminding him of my earlier warning not to mess with Jen and emphasizing the pain he would feel if he got involved with her I assured him it was just a temporary disruption and that the dogs would be back soon however I made it clear that this was his final warning and insisted that he never contact Jen again Josh acknowledged the warning but stressed that the dogs better come back in good shape since he had ignored my earlier instructions I declared my intention to take whatever actions I deemed necessary and Josh would have to face the
con consequences in response to his threat I informed him that the return of the dogs was uncertain as his tone did not Inspire Mercy I contemplated whether they would come back at all emphasizing his disrespectful tone I suggested that perhaps his parents should know the reason their puppies had gone missing teasing the idea of calling them Josh realizing the severity of the situation apologized and pleaded for the return of the dogs promising to stay away I accepted his apology but warned that next time it wouldn't be the dogs disappearing he agreed to stay out of
Jen's life and I assured him that the dogs would be back soon however I reminded him of my physical distance and lack of control over everything stating that the people involved had their own opinions I promised to discuss the matter with them and see what could be done I expressed my hope that we wouldn't need to have another conversation warning Josh that if we did he would be dealing with much more significant issues at 3:00 the next night Josh's parents experienced tears of joy upon the return of their beloved dogs who were barking on their
porch unaware of what had transpired and that their son had been involved they felt immense relief Josh upon hearing the news expressed relief at the return of the dogs and sent me a brief thank you message subsequently he grasped the gravity of the situation distanced himself from Jen and secured a job in other City several hours away despite attempting to gather more information about me Josh could only access public details indicating that I worked as a financial adviser realizing that additional information was sealed he decided to move on and start a new life severing ties
with his old flame concerned about the possibility of Josh re-entering her life I took proactive measures two weeks after the incident I presented Jen with a postnuptial agreement drafted by my lawyer the agreement outlined her willingness to relinquish everything including rights to any children born during our marriage in the event of infidelity while it couldn't prevent a recurrence of her previous encounter with Josh it provided ample incentive for her to consider the consequences given my increased attention and the knowledge that I would consistently check in on her alongside the postnuptial agreement we faced any potential
challenges that lay ahead approximately a year later Jen became pregnant with their first child and the couple grew closer than ever recognizing the close call that nearly jeopardized her life Jen committed herself to making me happy and strengthening our family the Spectre of Josh gradually faded and it seemed as if he had never existed despite the potential for irreparable damage in a single day my love and approach towards challenges played a pivotal role in saving our marriage
