My wife Elizabeth has been an amazing partner she's tall and slender with this striking blend of brown and blonde hair and a figure that turns heads when we first crossed paths the sparkle in her eyes reminded me of a kid seeing gifts under the tree on Christmas morning my name's tatti I'm 6' 2 in and thanks to my years on a swim team I've got the classic swimmers build our friends would always tease us saying our constant Smiles gave away our feelings for the first two years our love life was electric meeting up was almost
always about that connection things took a turn when Elizabeth made a mistake involving Glenn a guy who stood about 6' 10 in and played basketball out of nowhere my phone started buzzing with messages and photos from a party she'd attended it seemed like she'd shared a kiss with him and then disappeared into his room the next morning I confronted her and she Came clean admitting she'd gotten drunk and done something stupid she insisted it meant nothing and that her heart still belonged to me most of our friends argued it was a one-time thing urging me
to forgive her after two solid weeks of anger I decided to let it go but made it clear she wouldn't get another chance ironically the friends who pushed for forgiveness often ended up in Rocky Relationships while the ones who told me to walk away are now happily married Eventually I started a career as a programmer and Elizabeth took a job as an administrator we got married and had two kids Frederick and Monica life was pretty good until Elizabeth got into real estate which brought longer hours and less family time knowing her history I decided to
install monitoring software on her phone and slipped a small recorder into her back soon I discovered she was seeing a man named Joe Heartbroken I clung to the fact that their chats seemed to lack any deep affection desperate to fix things I tried harder cooked her favorite meals dressed up the kids and showed her as much love as I could she responded positively giving me a sliver of Hope one Friday night she told Joe she couldn't meet up with him I was thrilled and feeling optimistic asked my brother and his wife to watch the kids
I took Elizabeth out to a fancy restaurant for Dinner and dancing that night we even tried to set a personal record for how many times we could make love and although we didn't quite hit it we sure enjoyed the attempt the next day we picked up the kids and spent the day at a water park I thought things were finally back on track then then the following Wednesday I caught a glimpse of a message from Elizabeth to Joe can't wait to see you I miss you it was like a knife to the heart at that
moment I Realized I couldn't trust her and everything she told me felt like a lie I decided I wouldn't listen to any more of her excuses Elizabeth had betrayed not just me but also our kids using the camera feature on her phone through the monitoring software I saw Joe's face a guy I remembered from our office he was just another colleague and I realized ized I'd have to approach this without confrontation instead I plan to take her out of our Lives make her face the Consequences and secure primary custody of our children around that time
Monica's School group had a concert I shifted the reminder on Elizabeth's phone calendar to the day after the event sure enough she spent the concert night at Joe's Place afterward I left her a message pretending she just missed it monac was disappointed but I gently explained that sometimes adults get CAU up in work Elizabeth's late arrivals became more frequent and she'd come home Smelling freshly showered while still in her work clothes she tried to make it up to Monica who eventually forgave her but made her promise not to miss the next concert I couldn't tell
if Elizabeth was genuinely remorseful or just trying to avoid getting caught I noticed she and her lover often met at a small place famous for its Scotch eggs one day I casually mentioned it to my father-in-law and made a reservation for that Wednesday their usual day after Confirming she was at the office I headed there with her parents we arrived just a few minutes after Elizabeth and her lover and I spotted them talked in a booth at the back do you want to sit in a booth or at a table I asked loudly Elizabeth's head
shot up and she quickly moved away from him he looked bewildered until he saw us then tried to shrink down when we approached Elizabeth rushed over Mom Dad what are you doing here she stammered we heard the Scotch eggs here Are amazing so we had to try them her dad said with a warm smile happy to see her Elizabeth introduced her lover as a colleague pointing to the booth her mom and dad's Expressions soured we wouldn't want to interrupt your lunch meeting her mom said staring at him with narrowed eyes Elizabeth insisted saying they were
just grabbing a quick bite before showing a property the lunch was awkward after her lover reluctantly shook hands with everyone Elizabeth tried to fill The Silence with small talk her mom frowned at her food and her dad couldn't take his eyes off the guy barely speaking I made Small Talk asking him questions like how long he'd been with the company or why a nice guy like him was still single at one point I suggested Elizabeth maybe you could introduce your sister to him if things go well we might even be family Elizabeth's smile was tight
her lover finally said thanks but I already have a Girlfriend oh I asked with a grin is she someone we know or a secret she's in a rough situation trying to get out of a bad relationship I don't feel comfortable saying who he replied trying to keep his composure but his face fell as he noticed the looks from everyone around the table especially Elizabeth when our food arrived my in-laws barely touched theirs eating quickly I only managed a few bites of my Scotch egg Elizabeth noticed and asked is the Scotch egg any good I've lost
my appetite I replied staring at her her mother motioned to the waiter handed him a $100 bill to cover everyone's meal and then excused herself to the restroom the waiter returned with the change and Elizabeth's father pocketed it giving Joe the colleague a look that could cut glass before heading to the restroom himself sorry to interrupt your business lunch I told Elizabeth and Joe I'm sure you two have plenty to talk about and Plenty of people to deceive I got up to leave and Elizabeth chased me out to the car it was nice to see
you at lunch she said we'll discuss this at home your parents will be here soon by then her parents were practically rushing toward the restaurant's entrance clearly avoiding Joe's gaze Elizabeth following my line of sight looked down and muttered it's probably for the best her parents caught up to us gave Elizabeth a quick hug and then got into my car Without a word we drove home in silence when I dropped her parents off her mom hugged me tightly and told me she loved me like the son she never had her dad hugged me too asking
me to bring the kids over more often because he missed us it hit me hard then realizing Elizabeth would lie so easily to the people who'd always supported her they had already distanced themselves from elanora her younger sister because of her own infidelity whenever Elizabeth Brought her up they'd shut her down immediately elanora had even once tried to sneak into her in-laws Church during a Sunday service her dad interrupted the pastor mids sermon apologizing to the congregation before walking out ignoring elanora entirely that evening Elizabeth came home with a story about how a dinner with
Joe had helped secure a big deal for both of them I told her it's inappropriate to be out to dinner alone with an unmarried man I don't want you Near him anymore and I don't want you going out with him again honey I'm sorry if it bothers you she replied I won't go to lunch with him anymore don't worry he's out of the picture we just landed a great deal from that night on I told her I'd be sleeping in the guest room until she gave me and her parents a proper apology remember what happened
when your sister got caught cheating I said she looked alarmed you're blowing this way out of proportion she protested a small Part of me was relieved though that I had a valid reason to avoid intimacy with her meanwhile I took more steps to stay ahead I installed the hidden switch in her car in Joe's and sabotaged the transmission sensors to keep any mechanic guessing one day while I was at Frederick's football game Elizabeth decided to see Joe I remotely disabled her car knock knock Joe came to the car window and asked what happened you came
back so soon my car won't start the Battery's fine headlights work but it just won't turn over she explained need a ride home he offered no you idiot if my husband sees you dropping me off it'll be a huge issue call a to truck I need to pick up Monica for her band competition can't your husband drive her he's with Frederick and his game she replied irritated just take me to a rental car place and I'll call a tow truck to meet us there Joe dropped her off and she managed to rent a car Unfortunately
she was late picking up Monica who ended up calling me I got a friend to bring Frederick home then picked up Monica just in time for her event when we returned Frederick was already in his room and Elizabeth was waiting in the living room still in her work clothes but smelling freshly showered Monica I'm so sorry I couldn't pick you up she said my car broke down and by the time I rented another your dad had already come to get you it's Fine Mom I made it just in time thanks to Dad Monica replied but
you've missed two performances now I hope Works worth it after Monica left the room I confronted Elizabeth I called your work after lunch they said you'd left you had over 2 hours to pick up Monica what happened she froze then stammered I was running some errands and thought I had enough time I didn't expect the car to break down what errands you never mention any just things that needed Handling she replied evasively well I hope those things are worth more than your daughter's respect because you're walking on thin ice I said heading to the guest
room it was clear Elizabeth prioritized Joe over our family dis regarding the impact on her kids the mechanics couldn't find any issues with her car confirming my modifications had worked perfectly meanwhile Monica had started pushing her buttons saying things like Mom you Promised to take me and my friends to the mall this Saturday can you tell me now if you flake we don't want to be stranded if your car decides to die again Frederick overheard and laughed good one Monica Elizabeth complained to me later saying I needed to talk to the kids about respecting her
I'll consider it when you're ready to apologize I said from the guest room she called my response stubborn on Saturday I took Monica and her friends to the Mall myself Elizabeth claimed she had work but her car was parked at a house listed for sale no doubt meeting Joe when we returned Monica thanked me loudly in front of her mother making it clear who she appreciated most Elizabeth called a friend and completely ignored Monica's questions Elizabeth looked like she wanted to complain but I started laughing took my drink and headed into my office she still
had on her work clothes but smelled freshly showered I Couldn't shake the feeling she'd had some fun in one of the houses she was selling hopefully she at least changed the sheets with Frederick's birthday coming up we rented six Lanes at a bowling alley to celebrate with friends and family finding a spot without a Wednesday night League took some effort but I made it happen when I shared the plans with Elizabeth she looked uneasy so I told her I'd take the kids and their friends while she picked up the Cake and candles we'd have pizza
open presents and a bowl the week before I sabotaged Joe's Car three times to stop their meetings they rescheduled for Tuesday so I broke his car again once it was fixed then on Wednesday I saw Elizabeth's text looking forward to seeing you later this afternoon her GPS showed her heading to Joe's Apartment she'd have enough time to enjoy herself grab the cake and still make it to the party I rented a car with a large trunk For a little plan I'd cooked up after confirming Elizabeth was at Joe's Apartment I placed a covered cage by
the front door using a door Ram I smashed the door open activated a taser against the metal cage and released an angry skunk inside as I hurried away I listened through Elizabeth's phone the screams were Priceless Joe was yelling at her to call the police I blocked her phone so he had to make the call himself claiming a wild animal had invaded his Apartment when the police arrived guns drawn the skunk went on the attack making them scream and gag before they managed to shut the door it took hours for animal control to capture the
skunk afterward two wreaking officers questioned Elizabeth and Joe and two more officers arrived but left quickly because of the stench who's the owner here one officer asked I am Joe replied and who are you the officer asked Elizabeth just Visiting she replied handing over her ID the officer looked at her with skepticism how do you two know each other we work together Elizabeth answered what were you doing here the officer pressed picking up some documents she replied after confirming their identities the officer asked so why was there a skunk in the apartment it it was
a birthday present Joe started to explain but Elizabeth interrupted did you buy an adult skunk for your Boyfriend the officer asked eyebrows raised HEK not my boy friend Elizabeth shot back stop lying why' you buy an adult skunk as a gift then the officer pressed Elizabeth stumbled I didn't I meant to get a younger one he told me he loved skunks so I thought it would be a nice surprise but it turned out to be an adult and well it attacked him the skunk must have been expensive the officer observed not too much she replied
attempting to brush it off so do you buy Pricey pets for all your co-workers or just your boyfriend the officer asked again Elizabeth said nothing finally one officer clearly Fed Up remarked I know this story is nonsense but I can't take the smell anymore you and your friend are free to go I'm not contaminating my car with that stench they left slamming the broken door on their way out what was that all about Joe asked baffled Elizabeth quick witted as always replied we couldn't exactly tell them someone Broke down your door and set a skunk
loosen here why not he asked because then they'd ask my husband if he had anything to do with it and he'd either know for sure or they'd tell him I was here she answered smoothly speaking of honesty Joe how many other women are you seeing no one he answered a bit taken aback when was the last time you slept with someone else besides me she pressed about a month ago he mumbled so you've been with her this whole time Elizabeth Asked there was another one 6 months ago he admitted were they married she asked why
would you assume that he replied because I know what kind of thrill you're after Elizabeth said annoyed answer me yes both were married he muttered did their husbands find out I don't know Elizabeth sighed great now I know lying to the police was the right choice this is likely payback from one of those husb I'll find out if my husband was behind This she said just then her phone rang hey Elizabeth did you pick up the cake yet I asked casually uh I'm still at work but I'm leaving now she replied don't let Frederick down
I said and she assured me she was on her way Elizabeth showered dressed and left Joe's Place I remotely disabled her car halfway to the store after several attempts she got it to start but it broke down three more times before she finally made it to the bakery she arrived late to the bowling Alley and as she walked in with the cake everyone covered their noses coughing at the overpowering skunk smell Frederick simply asked her to go home after the party on the way home he turned to me and asked Dad why does mom always
miss our events she tries to do what's best for the family but sometimes it's tough to be in two places at once I replied but you're always there and you make more money Fred pointed out well my job is more flexible so it's easier for me To be around my favorite skunks I joked not funny dad Monica chined in it'll be funny when you tell your friends at school tomorrow I replied we had to toss out the skunks ended cake which the kids thought was hilarious I was more than happy to return to the guest
room that night a few days later I caught Elizabeth sniffing me up holster in my car looking like a mouse hunting for cheese I followed her upstairs and even recorded her sniffing my shoes I never Asked her why her own C didn't wreak of skunk two Saturdays later I told the family I was headed to the hardware store nobody wanted to join so I went alone to Joe's Apartment his car was there and I knocked on the door he answered looking puzzled can I help you he asked I think we can help each other I'm
Elizabeth's husband mind if I come in I asked pushing my way past him into the kitchen where the with a smell of fresh paint mixed with lingering skunk Stench they'd bought all new furniture look I know you've been with my wife for over six months I stated hey man we're just friends Joe stammered would it help if I showed you pictures and videos of your meetings I challenged myself I don't know what you're talking about no games I know you've been with my wife and I have proof I'm not here to talk about you though
I'm focused on her rather than paying detective to gather more dirt I figured I'd just pay you for It he stared at me eyes narrowing you want me to film myself with your wife that'll cost $2,000 yes $2,000 for a video showing her face and body during the ACT I'll also need written consent from you stating that you took the video and allow me to use it if you already have evidence why do you need a video he asked skeptical I need leverage for the divorce I replied that's really cold he said cold like how
she betrays me and Our kids I shot back after a long pause he muttered yeah just like that then he added make it $3,000 and we have a deal deal don't tell Elizabeth I'll arrange and pay for a spa and hotel stay I said the following Monday I called Joe to set up a time to get the video and pay him in cash all clear I asked yes he replied make sure her face is visible in the footage I'll send the consent phone today and call you on Monday I said then left and went about
my day on Wednesday Evening I told Elizabeth I have a conference this Saturday any issues with that no actually sounds like a relaxing weekend have fun she replied on Monday night I called Joe and picked him up not wanting to be recorded I took him to a quiet rest stop checked him for any devices and led him back into the car do you have what I need I asked yes he replied handing me a flash drive I checked a video on my laptop it was exactly what I'd asked for and the Consent form he handed
me an envelope and I verified its contents then took a photo and sent it to myself I handed him an envelope of cash and he counted the $100 bills twice grinning if you need another video let me know easiest money I ever made he said on Tuesday I sat down with my brother and his wife showing them a short video some photos and a list of Elizabeth States highlighting missed family events I did the same for Elizabeth's parents and Mine asking them all to ignore her until I gave the green light on Wednesday while Elizabeth
was out with Joe I sat the kids down to explain mom is infatuated with someone else and I'm not sure if she still loves me I said they asked if we were getting a divorce I told told them we'll discuss it with her right now she's at her boyfriend's house both of them gasped she's there now yes I replied showing them the GPS tracker on her car outside Joe's Apartment is That why mom misses our events Monica asked I showed them a dated list of her absences at family events along with a time-lapse tracker of
her locations during Monica's concert and Frederick's birthday seeing the time stamps of when she left the office and then Joe's Apartment they both cleed up that skunk Monica muttered I reassured them the most important thing is that I love you both this is between your mother and me and we'll do everything we can to stay a Family after half an hour of crying hugging and talking Elizabeth walked in seeing our faces she looked nervous what happened kids go to your rooms mom and I need to talk I said they hugged me shot her a hurt
look and went to their rooms when the doors closed I asked Elizabeth to sit down what's going on she asked trying to keep her composure Elizabeth I know you're having an affair oh God no that's not true I'd never cheat on you why would you say that she tried to Sound sincere even teared up if you won't be honest this conversation is over I said keeping my tone firm this must be a mistake someone thought they saw something that wasn't true she said trying to convince me me fine we're done here think about what you're
doing to this family we'll talk tomorrow until then stay away from me and the kids I said heading for the guest room Elizabeth followed me insisting you're wrong I would never do that I closed the Door in her face I heard her soft voice outside Monica's room pleading Monica what did dad tell you it's all a mistake please open the door so we can talk mon texted me can you make her go away I replied I'll try but she's denying everything so there's no point maybe you're mistaken Monica texted I have pictures of them together
I replied oh was all Monica sent back opening the door I found Elizabeth there her eyes full of desperation leave the kids alone Until we sort this out you're only making it harder on them I said but I need to know what you told them Elizabeth insisted I told them the truth that you're seeing another man this is between us now don't involve them I said Elizabeth went to her bedroom and I heard her crying all night the next day I waited for her at the kitchen table when she came in I asked have you
thought about what you're doing to this family she nodded looking remorseful are You ready to be honest about the affair she nodded again it's all a misunderstanding I had an emotional connection we had lunch a few times but that's it I only love you she said if you lie again this conversation is over we'll talk Saturday at 9:00 and the kids will stay with my parents think hard about what this is doing to us I said heading to the guest room on Saturday morning I had breakfast with the kids at her parents house when I
returned Elizabeth was waiting at the kitchen table are you ready to talk honestly I asked she nodded did you tell my parents I asked yes have you told your parents your brother and his wife I asked again yes she whispered why would you do this to me she asked her voice breaking you lied to me to the kids to everyone now you're claiming it was just a few kisses and you think our parents and kids turned against you because of me Elizabeth's face fell but she said You've blown this out of proportion if you're not
willing to be truthful then we're done here the kids will stay with their grandparents and I'll live in the guest room and work from home we'll talk on Tuesday after work think about what you're doing to this family I said leaving the house that night after dinner with my parents and the kids I returned to find Elizabeth sitting in the living room we'll talk on Tuesday I Said heading to bed Elizabeth's friends texted me urging me to forgive her claiming it was a minor mistake I made a video call and showed them evidence of the
affair they apolog ized embarrassed and I doubt she ever heard from them again on Tuesday evening Elizabeth came home visibly tired she brought pasta from our favorite Italian restaurant and set a plate in front of me all those days you're wondering what lies to tell your friends and family to cover up the Truth it takes a toll doesn't it I asked no one will talk to me they all think I'm a monster she replied lies have consequences Elizabeth you showed everyone the monster within you I said they told me you showed them photos and videos
of me with Joe she said yes I did I didn't let extra copies get out because I don't want our family ridiculed I replied can I see them she asked yes if it helps I showed her the photos and videos I love you so much Can't we put this behind us she pleaded if you love me that much why did you need someone else I asked I never loved him marriage is supposed to be about shared responsibilities trust and joy I was always responsible trusted you and found joy in our life together but you dumped
most of the financial and family responsibilities on me while you partied she looked down quiet you stole my love by giving yours away I said how long have you known she whispered 7 months I Replied why didn't you say anything she asked I hoped it was a one-time mistake I waited for you to be honest especially since you kept saying you love me I replied I'm so sorry she said softly how can I trust you now I asked because I love you and I'm telling the truth she replied is this the same truth you told
me during our last three talks when you denied everything I asked she fell silent for a few minutes I finally asked what can you do to make things right I Placed an envelope on the table in front of her this is a postnuptial agreement sign it and I'll consider taking you back but we'll need therapy for us and the kids to make it work I don't want to sign a postnuptial agreement she replied then we're done it seems you're more interested in a financial advantage than in saving our marriage what do I get if I
sign it she asked if one of us files for divorce I get 70% of everything if I'm the one who cheats it's 50 to 50 if you cheat I get 85% and in all cases I get full custody have a lawyer look at it sign it and I'll consider moving forward how much time do I have she asked until Saturday morning I replied standing up AR you going to eat I got your favorite food she said after all you've done and all your lies should I expect fresh arsenic in the sauce I asked walking away
Elizabeth began to cry but later she signed the agreement To try and re build some trust the next day I stopped by her office while she was out and spoke with the office manager an older woman whose husband owned the company how can I help you today she asked curtly I think there's a misunderstanding about me being the bad guy with my wife I said this seems personal please leave or I'll call security she replied it's about my wife and a cooworker she's been intimate with I explained do you have any evidence she Asked raising
an eyebrow yes yes here's a photo and some voice recordings of them admitting they were together instead of showing properties I said playing short clips on my phone her face soured can I assume my wife will be terminated immediately I asked yes along with her companion she replied you can't fire him I had permission to record my wife not him this can't be used in court and I'd rather avoid any claims of slander I Doubt you want that either I added thanks for the information she said visibly relieved may I leave a photo I asked
no I don't want this going around the office she replied Elizabeth came home that evening in tears saying she'd been fired without a reference she wanted to talk but I just said Saturday and went to my room on Saturday morning she was at the kitchen table you should have quit as soon as this started to avoid any contact with Joe clearly your Moral compass is broken I said said we should have discussed this sorry but we no longer discuss decisions that harm our marriage or family by the way have you signed the postnuptial agreement I
asked yes she said handing me the signed document I checked it send an electronic copy to my lawyer and lock the physical copy in a safe then I laid out the new house rules if you behave we'll start counseling I'll let the family know we're attempting to fix things Truthfully I had no plans to start counseling Elizabeth became the model's wife but I noticed she'd installed the hidden camera in my office I watched her set it up on my laptop from my car the following Saturday I joined her in the kitchen where she sat looking
smug over her coffee where are the kids I asked they're with my parents she replied why it's been a while since we've been intimate I thought I could change your mind she said it's actually been 8 Months I replied 8 months that can't be right she insisted it is maybe you lost track during your escapades I said well we could change that she said giving me a flirtatious smile Elizabeth I can't erase what you did or the images burned into my mind it's not going to happen I replied signaling her to sit down Fine be
stubborn I did everything you asked and you still treat me like an outcast I deserve more respect she said is this really how you want to approach it I Asked yes I even deleted all the evidence the copies the ones in the cloud and destroyed the flash drive I'm tired of feeling like an outsider I'll be staying with my sister until you start showing some respect I'll pick up the kids from school each day and we'll have dinner at my place without you she said heading toward the door her sister elanora stepped out of the
dining room and they left together over the next two months Elizabeth worked on convincing Her parents and our kids that I'd fabricated everything she claimed the photos were doctored and that I had no real evidence she even dared me to show proof but by then she deleted everything the kids were confused and her parents were eager to believe her even my own parents had doubts thankfully my brother and his wife stood by me feeling isolated I met with Joe to arrange for another video this time I went all out a Beachside hotel room in Florida
two First class tickets and $5,000 for the video I insisted the recording happened on the balcony Joe asked for more money to cover a pricey restaurant and I bought an additional first class ticket for elanora who was eager to tag along 2 weeks later I reviewed the new footage in my car confirming everything was as i' specified I encrypted the video uploaded it to the cloud and secured a copy on an encrypted flash drive as we drove back I had question questions for Joe did you approach my wife first I asked not really it just
happened he replied and who brought up the idea of being together first I continued she did he said I then asked how many other married women have you been involved with around here seven he replied listing each name I switched off the recorder in my pocket want to see something crazy I asked accelerating to 70 mph hey man what are you doing he shouted sorry but this is the crazy part I said steering sharply toward a wooded area and breaking hard we hit a tree at just under 40 mph both of us were injured but
alive I called the police who confiscated my laptop and flash drive as evidence after a hospital examination I returned home where I was bedden for a week Elizabeth heard about the accident and about Joe's passing soon after she called fishing for details but I fed ignorance the next day the police came to question me about The connection between the deceased and my wife I explained that i' paid him to stay away from her but he kept demanding more which led to the accident so are you suggesting I deliberately crash the car to get rid of
him I asked the officers left soon after sure I had both the motive and opportunity but who would risk their life by driving into a tree to eliminate someone a few days later Elizabeth called proposing that we discuss our marriage on neutral ground With her sister present I don't want this conversation recorded let's meet at a hotel she suggested the house is off limits but I'll choose the room I replied skeptical of her intentions she protested about safety but I insisted on avoiding any recordings we agreed to meet on Saturday when I arrived at the
hotel I followed Elizabeth and elanora to the front desk the receptionist offered room 216 but I requested at a higher room overlooking the front both Women looked disappointed they'd probably have to pay extra to retrieve any recording equipment from room 216 in the elevator elanora flirted openly pressing close to my side I reminded her this discussion is between me and Elizabeth normally elanora kept her distance from me at Elizabeth's insistence but today she seemed different the room was standard with a desk chair chest of drawers and a queen-sized bed what now Elizabeth asked Take off
your clothes completely undressed I don't trust you and you don't trust me I said Elizabeth glanced at elanora surprised that's my sister I don't want her seeing me like that come on Elizabeth I said dryly she doesn't have anything half the town hasn't seen eleanora stuck her tongue out at me revealing a piercing fine Elizabeth agreed a little too easily get completely undressed it worked I knew their game I came prepared as Elizabeth And elanora started undressing I quickly stripped as well folding my clothes on the desk and placing a pen behind them the pen
looked like the hotel's standard issue but it was weighted and had a hidden camera inside I'd collected free pens from every local hotel hollowing one out to fit the camera after putting my clothes in the bathroom I returned to the room fully aware of Elizabeth and eleanora's watchful eyes now that we're all here letun get Started I said ignoring eleanora's attempts to catch my eye Elizabeth I want a serious conversation I said firmly in a few minutes you'll know what this is really about Elizabeth said sweetly I love you I replied keeping my tone even
like a favorite pair of shoes she replied her sarcasm showing you know that's not true I really love you Elizabeth insisted sure as long as the credit card works I shot back Elizabeth's voice Rose don't be so Bitter our marriage is strong enough to survive this strong you drained every ounce of strength from us repeatedly stabbing me in the back and now you want me to turn around and just forgive you again I replied my voice filled with hurt don't be so dramatic it was just a mistake Elizabeth said defensively a mistake that's going to
end in divorce I replied darling don't be like that it was just a little slip up she pleaded it wasn't small it was a calculated Betrayal I countered mocking her tone I mimicked oh I'm sorry I didn't know it would hurt you honey I'm sorry I lied I was ashamed I stopped lying as soon as you confronted Me Oh you mean when you first denied it or when you called it an emotional connection or the third time when you said it was just a kiss I challenged myself you only stopped lying when you saw the
photos but that doesn't mean you won't lie about other things right elanora picking up on the tension Interjected maybe we should all avoid saying things will regret are you serious I retorted elanora how many husbands and boyfriends have you deceived how many married men have you seduced Elizabeth quietly said I'm so sorry for what I did feeling guilty isn't enough my job is to make sure you feel that guilt properly I responded coldly it's not that bad Elizabeth said trying to downplay it what's the difference Between you and a con artist you gained my trust
just to deceive me I replied I didn't deceive you marriage is a contract of fidelity and trust and you broke it she argued I kept my end it was you who betrayed me I shot back you forced me to sign that postnuptial agreement it wasn't fair Elizabeth complained unfair if I get a traffic ticket I pay the fine if I cheat on my taxes they take my money if I drink too much I go to jail cheaters should face Consequences marriage is about family and loyalty otherwise what's the point I explained Elizabeth was silent unable
to respond do you know how many marriages that start with infidelity last more than a few years just 5% was it your plan to leave me and marry your lover well we'll never know since Joe's gone I said striking a Nerf Elizabeth's face Twisted in anger I deleted all your so-called evidence you can't control me anymore our parents and The kids don't know what to believe was it worth it she sneered I didn't destroy this marriage you did I'm just calling the end of it I replied Elizabeth shot back maybe I wouldn't have slept with
someone else if you'd paid more attention to me why should I when you barely acknowledged me I responded we sat intense silence for a few moments both of us trying to calm down did you eliminate him Elizabeth suddenly asked I smiled slightly looking At the camera hidden in the pen it was an accident I replied how could you do that she tried attempting to provoke a reaction but I stayed silent her eyes filled with tears he was a good man she whispered allowing some anger into my voice I said Oh you mean the kind of
man who seduces other people's wives Elizabeth started crying but you still love me don't you correction I loved you true love is a privilege that most people never experience even in marriage You had that from me and all I got in return was your desire for money and Fidelity on my part you threw away real love for cheap thrills plenty of people might want you for a fling but no one will love you like I did not after what you did to me in the kids I said my tone final Elizabeth's face crumpled as tears
flowed down her cheeks she quickly pulled herself together and changed her approach I need a drink anyone else she asked I'll go to the bar and be back so We can talk like adults Elizabeth got dressed and left the room as soon as the door closed elanora looked at me and said you look good enough to eat elanora now is not the time I warned elanora moved closer standing between my legs what she doesn't know won't hurt her I was trying to back her off when she suddenly pulled me onto the bed screaming please stop
Elizabeth burst in phone in hand what are you doing to my sister she shouted eleanora cried out he Attacked me make him stop Elizabeth pushed me back smirking as she dropped the phone likely sending the video to the cloud you're in trouble now she said I have a video of you attacking her the two of them laughed as I sat back in my chair feigning defeat Elizabeth wagged her finger and continued here's how this divorce will work that postnuptial agreement forget it mention it and I'll send you to jail you'll get 10% of everything I'll
get 90% plus full Custody and lifetime support if you don't agree the video will make sure you're locked up yes I replied realizing I had underestimated her scheming Eleanor addressed quickly come on Elizabeth she said just minutes earlier Elizabeth had been weeping about lost love now she was walking out with her sister both laughing at me I watched them from the window as they left then got dressed retrieved my pen and exited the hotel the meeting had gone better Than I'd expected the next day Elizabeth was served with divorce papers that enforced the terms of
the postnuptial agreement when she threatened to use her recording against me I replied you didn't delete everything if you try to pin this on me I'll be out the next day and you'll be in jail Elizabeth was smart enough to wait we both hired lawyers and I demanded that the postnuptial agreement be honored I presented transcripts of all my Recordings explaining to her lawyer that we were in the process of restoring deleted files but had transcripts for now after considerable back and forth we set a court date the main question was whether the postnuptial agreement
was valid and if I had concrete evidence a few days before the trial I mailed forged letters to Elizabeth and elanora from the CBC informing them that Joe had been diagnosed with AIDS and Advising them to get tested immediately the Letter instructed them to avoid intimacy for 12 months until they could be sure they were clear on the day of the trial the judge wasn't pleased with either of us Elizabeth claimed the postnuptial agreement had been signed under duress and that she hadn't committed adultery she cried convincingly I argued that the agreement was necessary because
she was unfaithful and that she had violated our marriage vows making her an unfit mother the judge then asked what evidence do You have of her infidelity my lawyer submitted the video and voice recordings which matched the transcripts we presented the judge turned to me and asked why are you producing these recordings now we obtained the recordings after a long data recovery process Elizabeth deleted the originals and certified data recovery is time-consuming we just received the restored files my lawyer explained the judge then addressed me directly did Elizabeth attempt to delete the recordings yes your
honor we even have a recording of her admitting to it I made her believe I had complete control over the videos she thought she deleted everything but I stored backups in multiple places I replied judges don't take kindly to evidence tampering and Elizabeth had lied about not cheating claiming I had no proof when the judge asked Elizabeth's lawyer if the transcripts matched the recordings he Confirmed confirmed yes your honor do you challenge the authenticity of this recording the judge asked Elizabeth's lawyer Elizabeth glanced at her lawyer and shook her head slightly no your honor he
responded this answers the question of validity and nullifies claims of compulsion however none of this alone proves infidelity after signing the contract the judge noted my lawyer interjected yes your honor here is the Transcript of a final video along with the video itself proving Elizabeth's infidelity after the agreement was signed the judge looked at my lawyer why is this being presented now this evidence was in police custody as part of an accidental death investigation we weren't certain it still existed my lawyer clarified turning to Elizabeth's lawyer the judge asked have you seen this video yes
your honor but we believe it's inadmissible as there's no consent Form and if allowed there's no evidence it wasn't recorded before the agreement Elizabeth's lawyer argued my client paid for plane tickets for Elizabeth elanora and her lover along with the hotel room they used my lawyer stated the judge turned to me did you consent to your wife's Affair no your honor I never agreed or condoned her activities I replied then why did you pay for their tickets and hotel the judge asked pressing further I asked her Lover how much he need to stop seeing my
wife he asked for $2,000 tickets to Jamaica and a three- night stay at a five-star hotel we agreed and I bought ticket vouchers but he used the airfare and hotel vouchers for a stay in Florida the following week while my wife was supposedly at a conference I explained how do we know this is the right Hotel the judge asked in the first photo you can see the hotel sign in the background I pointed out how did you acquire this Video the judge continued I paid for it when I discovered my wife's Affairs I asked him
for proof he provided Visual Evidence I replied why were you collecting this evidence the judge asked for divorce I said did he know why you were collecting this information the judge asked again yes several months ago I explained it was easier and more affordable to gather evidence from him rather than hire a private investigator I paid him $500 for an Additional video I clarified Elizabeth violated the postnuptial agreement if you need someone to testify about the videos authenticity and date her sister elanora is right there I said pointing at elanora everyone turned to look at
her and the judge reprimanded me for using inappropriate language I immediately apologized the judge then asked is that all you got from your wife's love that night looking at Elizabeth I said yes But her lover provided most of the records you have here today he had been documenting everything for months including Hotel bills and airfare I paid him around $3,000 Elizabeth's face flushed with anger as she realized her lover had been selling these encounters to me for the divorce for a mere $3,000 she would have paid 10 times that to keep it hidden although Furious
I could see her calculating believing this Was all I had she assumed if i' had more I would have shown it already when I finished Elizabeth made a quick decision whispering to her lawyer who then requested a break as we neared lunch the judge granted it when we returned Elizabeth's lawyer claimed they had a video showing me committing a crime in infidelity which violated the postn both Elizabeth and elanora were prepared to vouch for its authenticity Elizabeth confirmed my Sister and I didn't want to put the father of my children in jail but now I
see how manipulative he truly is the video showed the hotel door someone screaming please stop and Elizabeth bursting in recording me on top of elanora Elizabeth's voice on the video screamed what are you doing to my sister while elanora cried he attacked me Elizabeth then grabbed her sister dropped the phone and the video ended what happened next the judge asked I Locked myself in the bathroom and told my husband that if he didn't leave in 2 minutes I'd call the police I also told him I'd uploaded the video to the cloud Elizabeth replied yes I
see the judge remarked casting a suspicious look my way I noticed Elizabeth's parents watching me with distrust the judge then turned to me what do you say in your defense my lawyer responded we have a video to refute this claim Elizabeth's lawyer tried to object arguing that the Video was irrelevant but the judge allowed it Elizabeth's lawyer sat down visibly defeated and Elizabeth looked pale the video began with a discussing the need to strip down to avoid recording devices and it ended with Elizabeth and elanora leaving the room laughing the judge looked at me with
a faint understanding hinting at shared life experiences Elizabeth whispered to her lawyer who shook his head in resignation My lawyer confirmed that none of my statements in the video were self-incriminating which frustrated Elizabeth her initial goal had been to sweetly convince me to forgive her her secondary goal was to set me up with incriminating evidence regarding her Lover's death the fabricated attack on elanora backfired elanora attempted to slip out of the courtroom but the video revealed her initiating contact by pulling me onto the bed forcing her to Sit back down Elizabeth was clearly ashamed her
parents SED heavily behind her and some of her relatives left the courtroom before the video ended Elizabeth knew she'd lost their support the judge ruled in favor of enforcing the postnup my lawyer then unveiled Elizabeth's secret bank account containing more funds than all our shared assets combined she'd been depositing extra paychecks and bonuses there for years and had even taken out a Second mortgage on her house I'd asked my lawyer not to mention the secret account but he presented my own bank account statement to the judge showing that Elizabeth had transferred our mortgage funds to
her secret account this led to the discovery of her hidden assets the second mortgage transfer was actually my doing using her login credentials I'd uncovered her secret account when I installed monitoring software any undisclosed funds during Divorce proceedings fall under specific laws the judge awarded me 100% of our shared assets and required Elizabeth to pay all attorney fees and court costs due to her greed she transferred all our property to her secret account meaning I didn't owe her any share of The house's value the judge also sentenced both Elizabeth and elanora to 90 days in
jail for perjury I received 95% of our property full custody of the children the house two of our three best cars and Several years of alimony Elizabeth was left with only 5% which didn't even cover her legal fees she kept her clothes car and jewelry but I'd already sold her expensive pieces after learning of her affair she had hadn't noticed since I'd stopped taking her out I used the money from her jewelry and the accident Insurance to buy my dream car Elizabeth struggled to stay involved with the kids and had to commute an hour to
work they never forgave her and felt Embarrassed to be seen with her both she and elanora ended up working as bar waitresses I also sent Joe's parting words to the husbands of Six Women he'd been involved with sharing drunken messages Elizabeth occasionally sent to my phone sometimes she blames me for ruining her life and wishes I were dead other times she sobs begs for forgiveness and pleads for us to reunite I save every message in video in case she tries to interfere in our children's Lives Elizabeth never truly loved me as I loved her for
her life was about what she could take not what she could give I now have a restraining order against her and elanora as they may still Harbor resentment toward me
