0:00
my life with Quinn my fianceé had been
0:02
nothing short of a dream we'd been
0:03
together for six incredible years
0:05
engaged for the past year and I had
0:07
almost single-handedly planned our
0:09
entire wedding every detail every flower
0:11
every song it was all meticulously
0:13
crafted for the day that was now just 14
0:15
days away we were counting down filled
0:18
with that giddy anticipation only a
0:20
couple on the cusp of forever can truly
0:21
understand last night in particular was
0:24
one of those perfect idyllic evenings
0:27
quinn was nestled in my arms on the
0:28
couch spooning vanilla ice cream
0:30
directly from the tub i was doing that
0:32
silly boop nose thing with scoops of it
0:34
laughing as she playfully swatted my
0:35
hand away life was sweet it was
0:38
everything I had ever wanted that's when
0:39
her phone rang it was her sister Natalie
0:42
i went into the kitchen to grab us some
0:43
red wine a little something to elevate
0:45
our perfect night even further but then
0:47
I heard it her phone was on speaker
0:49
phone and I immediately recognized the
0:51
voice on the other end it belonged to
0:53
her brother-in-law Lou what I heard next
0:55
made my blood run cold a chill that had
0:57
nothing to do with the ice cream or the
0:59
impending wine it hit me with a
1:01
sickening force especially since I
1:02
always believed Quinn's best quality her
1:04
absolute defining trait was her
1:06
unwavering loyalty lou's voice
1:08
tinged with a mix of concern and
1:10
frustration asked "Where's Natalie she's
1:12
not replying to any of my texts." Quinn
1:15
without missing a beat replied "Oh she
1:17
just left she should be home in 30
1:19
minutes." My heart dropped it plummeted
1:21
straight into my stomach a leen weight i
1:23
stayed silent frozen in the kitchen
1:25
doorway the unccorked bottle of wine
1:26
still in my hand my mind raced trying to
1:29
figure out what was going on just left
1:31
from where i expected her to be honest
1:34
with me to explain so I walked back into
1:36
the living room ready to ask her
1:37
directly but she was already too busy
1:40
her fingers were flying across her phone
1:41
screen a rapid fire blur of urgency an
1:44
unmatched amount of urgency it was like
1:46
she was trying to outrun something or
1:48
warn someone "what are you doing?" I
1:51
asked again my voice betraying none of
1:52
the growing dread inside me and like it
1:54
was the most obvious innocent thing in
1:56
the world she replied texting Nat that
1:58
Louis was looking for her the pieces the
2:01
desperate unsettling pieces began
2:02
clicking together like a puzzle a puzzle
2:05
I never ever wanted to complete red flag
2:07
number one quinn told Louisis her
2:09
sister's husband that Natalie Quinn's
2:11
sister had just been at our house a
2:14
straightup lie i hadn't seen Natalie all
2:16
day red flag number two why was Quinn
2:19
texting Natalie expecting a response
2:21
when Louie had just said Natalie wasn't
2:23
answering his texts the contradiction
2:25
was so obvious so glaring it made my
2:27
stomach clench a cold hard knot of
2:30
suspicion red flag number three and the
2:32
most damning why would Quinn tell Lou
2:34
that Natalie would be home in 30 minutes
2:36
unless she either knew exactly where
2:37
Natalie was or was sending her a warning
2:39
text to get home ASAP this wasn't just a
2:42
casual cover up it was coordinated so if
2:45
you haven't figured it out by now it was
2:47
clear quinn was covering for Natalie she
2:50
was lying to Louis about her sister's
2:51
whereabouts my mind raced with scenarios
2:54
desperately clinging to any shred of
2:56
innocence maybe Natalie was planning a
2:58
surprise for Louis maybe she was
2:59
secretly shopping for a gift maybe maybe
3:03
maybe but I needed to know for sure the
3:06
doubt was a poison seeping into every
3:08
corner of my mind the hours that
3:10
followed were a blur of restless torment
3:12
i lay next to Quinn figning sleep my
3:14
heart pounding a frantic rhythm against
3:16
my ribs every breath she took every
3:18
gentle shift in the bed felt like a
3:20
betrayal i couldn't sleep the questions
3:23
nawed at me relentless at around 1:00
3:25
a.m I couldn't take it anymore i got up
3:28
figning a trip to the bathroom the
3:29
mattress creaked softly as I slipped out
3:31
from under the covers quinn was sleeping
3:33
soundly her breathing deep and even a
3:36
part of me the part that still loved her
3:38
wanted to just go back to bed to pretend
3:40
this never happened but the other part
3:42
the part that demanded truth knew what I
3:44
had to do i couldn't resist i had to
3:46
check her phone we've always known each
3:48
other's pins it was a sign of trust of
3:50
openness now it felt like a key to
3:52
Pandora's box accessing it wasn't
3:54
difficult i unlocked it i wished oh how
3:57
I wished i wished it was just a
3:59
misunderstanding a simple innocent
4:00
explanation but no what I found was far
4:03
far worse than I could have ever
4:05
imagined quinn's sister Natalie has been
4:07
having an affair for about 6 months with
4:09
a coworker and Quinn my Quinn the woman
4:12
I was about to marry had been helping
4:14
her cover it up almost the entire time
4:16
hundreds of texts hundreds between them
4:19
discussing the affair the coworker
4:21
explicit details embarrassing comments
4:23
about Lewis her own husband the father
4:25
of her child it made me physically ill a
4:28
wave of nausea washed over me so potent
4:30
I had to grip the counter to steady
4:31
myself but alongside this the truly
4:34
sickening part was my wife to be in
4:36
horrifying detail explaining how to
4:38
manipulate him like a literal
4:39
step-by-step guide how to lie how to
4:42
deflect how to keep him in the dark and
4:44
the worst part the absolute lowest blow
4:47
she said it was the same guy she used on
4:49
me when we started dating the same
4:50
manipulative tactics the same calculated
4:53
deception i'm completely utterly screwed
4:56
i can't marry Quinn forget about me
4:59
there's zero reasonable explanation she
5:01
could offer for helping her sister cheat
5:02
on Louis and by extension abandon their
5:05
2-year-old daughter the betrayal isn't
5:07
just of me or Louis it's of that
5:09
innocent child whose family is being
5:10
torn apart with Quinn's active
5:12
assistance but on the other hand our
5:14
families have invested an enormous
5:15
amount of money into this wedding an
5:17
astronomical sum and we're not getting
5:19
any of that back at this point plus I
5:21
feel like a complete idiot the woman I
5:23
thought I knew the woman I loved would
5:24
never participate in something so cruel
5:26
and deceptive and yet here we are and
5:28
the most confusing part I still have
5:30
feelings for her she's beautiful fun and
5:33
kind she's never wronged me personally
5:36
but I can't look at her the same way now
5:38
the image of her the woman I thought I
5:39
knew is shattered replaced by this
5:41
chilling stranger i'm dreading what I
5:43
know I need to do next the thought of
5:45
confronting her the wedding and
5:48
explaining to everyone why it makes me
5:50
physically nauseated my stomach turns my
5:52
head aches but the alternative marrying
5:56
someone capable of this level of
5:57
deception is unthinkable it's a
5:59
non-negotiable line in the sand to be
6:01
clear I'm not looking for reasons to
6:03
stay with Quinn the wedding is off
6:05
period i'm just trying to figure out my
6:07
next steps and work up the courage to
6:09
follow through the pressure from
6:10
everyone's expectations is crushing it's
6:12
a suffocating weight but I won't give
6:14
into it i'm furious that I'm in this
6:15
situation at all absolutely furious it's
6:18
5:00 a.m now i have work in 3 hours and
6:20
I've barely slept my eyes are burning
6:23
and my head is pounding from staring at
6:24
my computer screen in the dark the glow
6:26
illuminating the grim reality of my
6:28
situation i'm going to shower and head
6:30
into work early i need to avoid Quinn
6:32
while I process this thanks to everyone
6:34
being supportive and a big middle finger
6:35
to the jerk suggesting I should find
6:37
some good reason my soon-to-be ex-
6:38
fiance had for this behavior there's no
6:41
excuse for actively helping someone
6:42
destroy their family none i got to work
6:45
around 7 a.m the office was empty quiet
6:48
a stark contrast to the storm raging
6:50
inside me i decided to start pulling off
6:52
the band-aid i called my brother CK who
6:55
lives in Australia it was tough breaking
6:57
the news i know he spent a fortune on
6:59
flights for his family to attend the
7:00
wedding the connection crackled a bit as
7:02
I explained the situation my voice
7:04
breaking occasionally despite my best
7:06
efforts to keep it steady but like a
7:08
good brother he didn't mention the money
7:10
once he just supported me completely he
7:12
made a great point you work in a job
7:14
where you deal with liars and scammers
7:15
every day i don't blame you for wanting
7:17
your home life to be free from that he's
7:19
absolutely right and that's why I'm
7:21
reacting so strongly to Quinn's
7:23
participation in this deception my whole
7:25
career is built around spotting fraud
7:26
and dishonesty how could I possibly come
7:29
home to it every day it would be a
7:31
constant agonizing reminder ck suggested
7:33
a solution for part of the fallout he
7:35
was planning to take his family to
7:36
Florida after the wedding for some
7:38
vacation time and we were going to
7:39
honeymoon there and meet up with them
7:40
briefly now I'll just rebook everything
7:43
to stay closer to him and his family
7:44
throughout the trip offering Quinn's
7:46
ticket to my sister or another family
7:47
member it's not perfect but at least
7:50
it's something salvageable from this
7:51
mess i haven't had time to read all
7:53
comments but I've answered a few right
7:55
now I'm just making myself sick drinking
7:57
cup after cup of coffee while trying to
7:59
distract myself until it's late enough
8:00
to contact Louis the caffeine isn't
8:02
helping my jittery nerves but I need
8:04
something to keep me alert through this
8:05
nightmare just finished my morning
8:07
meeting my stomach is doing somersaults
8:08
from all the coffee and I can't focus on
8:10
anything the words on my computer screen
8:12
might as well be written in
8:13
hieroglyphics for all I'm able to
8:14
comprehend right now i feel like I can't
8:16
move forward until I tell Louis what I
8:17
know so I'm taking a sick day to drive
8:19
to his house he's a teacher on break
8:21
right now and Natalie works 9 to5 like
8:23
me so the timing should work my hands
8:25
were shaking as I emailed my boss but
8:26
once I hit send a strange calm came over
8:28
me at least I'm doing something instead
8:30
of just stewing in anxiety i got to
8:32
Louis's house around 10 a.m the
8:34
neighborhood was quiet with only the
8:36
occasional dog barking in the distance
8:38
he had just put his daughter down for a
8:40
nap and we had a long brutal
8:41
conversation in his kitchen the cheerful
8:43
yellow walls and family photos on the
8:45
refrigerator made the content of our
8:46
discussion seem even more out of place a
8:48
stark contrast to the darkness we were
8:50
discussing turns out he suspected the
8:52
affair for a couple of months but
8:53
Natalie has been covering her tracks
8:55
well with Quinn's help and support from
8:57
some mutual friends i don't have the
8:58
entire 6 months of text messages just
9:00
the screenshots I sent myself but I
9:02
shared what I had and offered to help
9:04
however I could for context I'm a field
9:06
analyst in the special investigation
9:08
unit of a midsize insurance company
9:10
specializing in workers compensation
9:11
fraud
9:12
i know a few things about investigations
9:14
and have some useful contacts watching
9:16
Louis face as he scrolled through the
9:17
messages was heartbreaking his
9:19
expression cycled through shock disgust
9:21
and finally a resigned sort of
9:22
acceptance that suggested he'd suspected
9:24
this all along but simply didn't have
9:26
the proof i'm now working from my laptop
9:28
at Louis table trying to salvage what I
9:30
can of the situation i'll have to talk
9:32
to Quinn tonight and start spreading the
9:34
word to friends and family now that I
9:35
know I won't be blindsiding Louis with
9:37
this information so far I've rebooked
9:39
most of the honeymoon although I had
9:41
issues with Quinn's ticket because she
9:42
was flying under her maiden name the
9:44
airline allowed me to cancel for a
9:46
partial refund and I rebooked for my
9:48
sister who will join her brothers and
9:49
nieces in Florida in a couple of weeks
9:52
the customer service agent sounded
9:53
sympathetic when I explained I was
9:55
canceling a honeymoon but I'm sure she's
9:56
heard every excuse in the book i'm
9:58
holding off on canceling the venues
9:59
until after I talk to Quinn as I don't
10:01
want to tip anyone off until Louis has a
10:03
chance to confront Natalie but I'll be
10:05
letting my family and friends know this
10:06
afternoon and asking them to keep quiet
10:08
for now the thought of making all these
10:10
calls makes my chest tighten but it
10:12
needs to be done i'm in full crisis mode
10:14
canceling what I can and heading to the
10:16
bank soon to open a new account and sort
10:18
out my bills the financial entanglement
10:20
feels like a chain around my ankle but
10:21
I'll deal with it step by step as for
10:24
finances the mortgage is in my name
10:26
since Quinn and I weren't married yet
10:27
but she contributed about $20,000 to the
10:30
$60,000 down payment i'll probably have
10:32
to pay her back that money plus a
10:34
portion of the mortgage payments for the
10:35
past 16 months but it could be worse at
10:39
least we don't have children to consider
10:40
in this mess that thought at least
10:43
brings a small cold comfort it's about
10:45
8:30 p.m now and I'm writing this from
10:47
my buddy Moose's house he's a former
10:49
coworker who works in the same field as
10:51
me his place is sparsely furnished but
10:53
comfortable the kind of bachelor pad
10:55
that suggests he spends most of his time
10:57
rather than decorating earlier Louis
10:59
asked for my help finding out who
11:00
Natalie was cheating with all we had was
11:02
a first name let's call him Cy strangely
11:05
I couldn't find him through Natalie's
11:06
LinkedIn connections which seemed odd
11:08
for a workplace affair her profile
11:10
showed dozens of connections but no one
11:12
named Cory jumped out at me louis
11:14
mentioned that Natalie was supposedly
11:15
going for afterwork drinks tonight and
11:17
wouldn't be home until 9 or 10 p.m he
11:19
didn't have to spell out his suspicions
11:21
i told him I'd help but that he needed
11:23
to come with me and I contacted my buddy
11:24
Moose to meet us later i figured having
11:26
a third person who wasn't emotionally
11:27
involved would be helpful especially
11:29
someone with Moose's investigative
11:30
experience first we dropped Louis
11:32
daughter at his parents house she was
11:34
sleepy and confused clutching her
11:36
stuffed elephant as Louis explained she
11:37
was having an impromptu sleepover with
11:39
grandma and grandpa then we went to
11:40
Natalie's workplace one of those
11:42
commercial strip malls with nondescript
11:44
offices in a large parking lot we found
11:46
Natalie's car and Louis used a spare key
11:48
to unlock it so we could place a voice
11:50
activated recorder and GPS tracker
11:52
inside i felt a little dirty doing this
11:54
a pang of ethical discomfort but my
11:56
loyalty was to Louisis in this situation
11:58
we parked down the street and waited for
12:00
Moose to arrive about 20 minutes later
12:02
he joined us in the car bringing coffee
12:04
and sandwiches that none of us had much
12:06
appetite for an hour after that Natalie
12:08
emerged from her office with two female
12:10
co-workers and a tall younger guy with
12:12
sandy blonde hair they were openly
12:14
holding hands she wasn't even trying to
12:16
hide it i took several photos from the
12:19
car then waited for Natalie to leave in
12:20
her car before following her keeping a
12:22
discreet distance to avoid detection she
12:25
drove to a nice bar and grill in an
12:27
upscale area i drove past her as she was
12:29
entering the establishment found a
12:31
parking spot and went over the plan with
12:33
Louis and Moose the parking lot lights
12:35
cast long shadows across our faces as we
12:37
discussed our next steps we sent Moose
12:39
in first since no one would recognize
12:41
him his job was to get compromising
12:43
photos and to be my alibi louis and I
12:46
waited in the car for about 20 minutes
12:47
until I started receiving texts from
12:49
Moose photos photos of Natalie and the
12:52
guy making out in front of their female
12:53
co-workers her hand on his thigh his arm
12:56
wrapped possessively around her shoulder
12:58
lewis was devastated to confirm that his
12:59
suspicions were correct and that these
13:01
co-workers were helping Natalie hide the
13:02
affair his hands trembled as he handed
13:04
my phone back to me and he stared out
13:06
the window in silence for several long
13:08
minutes the weight of the truth settling
13:10
upon him lewis wanted to know who the
13:11
guy was so despite my suggestion that we
13:13
could find out later I entered the bar
13:16
the music was loud the lighting dim and
13:18
the place was crowded with afterwork
13:19
patrons i pretended to be surprised
13:21
seeing Natalie and called out to her
13:22
from a few tables away she was shocked
13:25
to see me her smile freezing on her face
13:27
and everyone at her table tensed up
13:28
immediately like children caught with
13:30
their hands in the cookie jar natalie
13:32
quickly introduced me as her sister's
13:34
fianceé mentioning we were getting
13:35
married in 2 weeks after accepting their
13:38
congratulations I extended my hand to
13:39
the blonde guy introducing myself with
13:41
my full name hoping he'd reciprocate he
13:43
did but surprisingly his name wasn't
13:46
Corey i committed his name to memory as
13:49
I smiled and made small talk i
13:51
introduced myself to everyone else then
13:52
excused myself saying I was there to
13:54
meet a coworker i joined Moose and we
13:56
immediately started investigating the
13:57
guy online it didn't take long to find
13:59
him he had social media profiles and
14:02
court judgments against him everything
14:04
fell into place when we discovered Cory
14:06
was his middle name the puzzle pieces
14:08
were clicking together but the picture
14:09
they revealed was increasingly ugly the
14:12
kicker this guy is 26 married and has a
14:15
one-year-old daughter the situation just
14:17
kept getting worse layers of deception
14:19
piling on top of each other like a
14:20
twisted game of Jenga i texted Louis the
14:23
guy's real name and decided to push my
14:24
luck a bit further i instructed Louis to
14:27
wait a few more minutes while I
14:28
essentially played babysitter at the bar
14:30
my presence was clearly ruining their
14:32
evening which was exactly what I wanted
14:34
i could see Natalie glancing nervously
14:35
in my direction every few minutes her
14:37
animated conversation with her friends
14:39
now forced and stilted after about 10
14:41
minutes I told Louis to text Natalie
14:43
that he was spending the night at his
14:44
parents with their daughter soon after I
14:46
saw Natalie check her phone show it to
14:48
Cy and then everyone decided to leave
14:51
natalie came over said good night and
14:53
asked if Quinn and I wanted to come for
14:54
dinner that weekend i smiled and said
14:57
that sounded great wishing her and her
14:58
co-workers a good night my acting
15:00
deserved an Oscar given how much I
15:02
wanted to tell her exactly what I
15:04
thought of her behavior moose and I
15:05
waited for them to leave paid our bill
15:07
and hurried back to Louis we weren't
15:09
sure where Natalie was headed but she
15:11
drove straight home we followed a
15:13
distance and parked down the street
15:14
shortly after another car pulled into
15:16
Louiswis's driveway and we watched Cory
15:18
get out knock on the door and be greeted
15:20
by Natalie before they went inside
15:21
together the front porch light cast
15:23
their silhouettes in sharp relief as
15:25
they embraced in the doorway by this
15:27
point it was about 7:30 p.m and I had my
15:29
own issues to deal with i'd done all I
15:32
could for Louis as a friend and being
15:33
present for his confrontation with
15:35
Natalie seemed excessive given my own
15:36
situation louie agreed to handle the
15:39
rest himself he retrieved my recording
15:41
equipment from Natalie's car and we said
15:43
goodbye his face was set in grim
15:45
determination as he walked toward his
15:46
house looking like a man heading into
15:48
battle that was almost 2 hours ago i
15:51
received one text from Louis saying it
15:52
was done and that he was heading to his
15:54
parents house but my phone hasn't been
15:56
blowing up so I don't know what happened
15:58
with Natalie i've been at Moose's since
16:00
then pacing his living room and trying
16:02
to figure out my next move my priority
16:04
now is to go home and tell Quinn the
16:06
wedding is off she's definitely going to
16:08
take it badly but as I've said I simply
16:11
cannot marry her right now i don't know
16:13
what the future holds for us or if we'll
16:15
be completely done but we're certainly
16:16
not getting married anytime soon for
16:18
those asking why I didn't talk to Quinn
16:20
first or confront her immediately are
16:22
you serious she cold-bloodedly lied to
16:24
her brother-in-law of 10 years someone
16:26
she supposedly thinks is a great husband
16:27
and father maybe you're naive enough to
16:29
think someone who can lie that
16:30
effortlessly to someone they care about
16:32
would suddenly tell me the truth but I'm
16:34
not until that moment I'd never had
16:37
reason to doubt Quinn or not trust her
16:39
but she demonstrated her
16:40
untrustworthiness right in front of me
16:43
i'm supposed to let that slide or expect
16:45
her to be honest with me you clearly
16:47
don't know what it's like to have your
16:48
entire perception of someone shift in an
16:50
instant it's disorienting and
16:52
panicinducing like the ground beneath
16:53
your feet suddenly turning to quicksand
16:56
i'm actually proud that I kept my head
16:57
and followed my instincts instead of
16:59
confronting her immediately it would
17:01
have been ridiculously easy for her to
17:02
lie and delete those text messages if
17:04
she had I would never have seen the
17:06
horrible things she wrote never realized
17:07
how duplicitous she can be and never
17:09
known how little I actually understood
17:11
about who she is i'm heading home to
17:12
talk to Quinn now i'll update later with
17:14
the final verdict but don't expect a
17:16
happy ending the butterflies in my
17:18
stomach have turned to lead weights and
17:19
my throat feels tight with dread but
17:21
this conversation can't wait any longer
17:23
here's another update for you all so
17:25
much has happened most of it pretty
17:26
terrible if I'm honest i left Moose's
17:28
house late that night quinn already knew
17:30
I was out discussing business with him
17:32
though she had no idea the business was
17:34
actually her sister's affair it was
17:36
getting late mostly because I was trying
17:37
to work up the courage to go home and
17:39
face her after several pep talks from
17:41
Moose including a shot of whiskey that
17:43
burned all the way down but did little
17:44
to calm my nerves I finally texted Quinn
17:46
that I was on my way and left when I
17:49
walked into our house I was completely
17:50
blindsided to find Natalie crying on our
17:53
couch with Quinn comforting her i hadn't
17:55
seen Natalie's car in the driveway so
17:57
this was the last thing I expected i
17:58
froze for a moment almost turned around
18:00
and left this would make an already bad
18:02
situation infinitely worse still I had a
18:06
timeline I wanted to stick to i needed
18:08
to notify friends and cancel wedding
18:09
preparations and the clock was ticking
18:12
when I entered the room both Quinn and
18:13
Natalie looked up at me but no
18:15
accusations came i just stared back
18:17
questioningly my hands still on the door
18:19
knob as if ready to make a quick escape
18:20
the moment passed natalie went back to
18:22
crying quinn returned to comforting her
18:24
and I awkwardly let the silence hang for
18:26
about 30 seconds thinking that Louis
18:28
apparently hadn't mentioned my
18:29
involvement in uncovering the affair i
18:31
decided to play dumb not for any
18:33
particular reason except to see how
18:34
Quinn would react i sat in a recliner
18:36
put down my laptop bag and pretended to
18:38
fidget with my phone before asking
18:40
"What's going on?" The ticking of the
18:43
wall clock seemed unnaturally loud in
18:44
the tense silence natalie just continued
18:46
crying her mascara leaving dark tracks
18:48
down her cheeks but Quinn looked at me
18:50
and said "Lou is divorcing Nat." I
18:53
pushed forward with the obvious question
18:54
"But why?" My voice sounded strained
18:58
even to my own ears quinn stopped
19:00
patting Natalie's back and gave me this
19:02
strange look like a child being told to
19:04
eat vegetables they hate natalie shot
19:06
Quinn a look that spoke volumes and
19:08
after a pregnant pause Quinn finally
19:10
said she cheated on him this response
19:13
floored me it wasn't what I expected at
19:15
all yes the cat was out of the bag but
19:17
she could have feigned ignorance or
19:19
worded it differently like Lou accused
19:21
Nat of cheating instead she confirmed it
19:23
outright no hedging or minimizing
19:26
natalie wasn't happy about this she
19:28
seemed to crumble into the couch making
19:29
a strange combination of a sigh and sobb
19:31
i wanted to press further but must have
19:33
stammered a bit which Quinn likely
19:34
interpreted as shock and she would have
19:37
been right just not in the way she
19:38
assumed "did you know?" I asked quinn
19:42
didn't speak just nodded while
19:43
continuing to rub her sister's shoulder
19:45
her eyes never meeting mine "i didn't
19:47
hesitate with the followup." "How long?"
19:50
The answer came more easily than I
19:51
expected 6 months i was shocked by her
19:54
casual admission natalie was shocked too
19:58
she smacked Quinn's hand away like it
19:59
was a hot iron on her skin even Quinn
20:02
seemed startled at her own cander her
20:03
eyes widening slightly as if she
20:05
couldn't believe what she just said i
20:07
leaned back in the recliner and rubbed
20:08
my face feeling the stubble I hadn't
20:10
bothered to shave that morning time to
20:12
rip off the entire band-aid we're not
20:14
getting married both sisters stared at
20:16
me in stunned silence before
20:17
simultaneously asking "What?" The
20:20
synchronized reaction would have been
20:21
comical in any other situation i stood
20:24
up and repeated myself my voice firm
20:26
we're not getting married i can't
20:28
marry someone who would cover up
20:29
adultery especially for 6 months quinn
20:31
jumped off the couch and opened her arms
20:33
in disbelief i just put my hands up
20:35
defensively feeling like I needed a
20:36
physical barrier between us i'm serious
20:40
i don't like this at all i don't like
20:42
that you participated in this and I
20:44
can't marry you feeling the way I do it
20:46
would be a mistake my voice grew firmer
20:48
with each word as if trying to convince
20:50
myself as much as her the waterwork
20:52
started immediately even Natalie's mouth
20:54
dropped open in shock quinn wailed
20:56
accused me of not loving her appealed to
20:59
my sense of duty mentioned the lost
21:01
money the inconvenience to our friends
21:03
the embarrassment all things I'd already
21:05
considered but it hit differently
21:07
hearing them through her sobs each word
21:09
like a knife twisting in my gut then I
21:11
made a big mistake to convince Quinn of
21:14
the finality of my decision I blurted
21:15
out "Look I already canceled the
21:17
honeymoon it's not happening i knew it
21:19
was a bomb the second it left my mouth."
21:21
Natalie always quickwitted immediately
21:23
connected my statement with my
21:24
appearance at the bar earlier you son of
21:27
a She screamed lunging across the room
21:29
at me her face contorted with rage i'm
21:32
not a small guy but the force of
21:33
Natalie's attack had me staggering
21:35
backward i barely got my hands up before
21:37
she started clawing at my face with her
21:38
fingernails i nearly dropped my phone
21:40
but managed to push her away shouting
21:42
"Natalie get off me quinn control your
21:44
sister."
21:45
Natalie tried to lunge again but
21:46
surprisingly Quinn did exactly as I
21:48
asked wrapping her arms around Natalie's
21:50
waist and holding her back the coffee
21:52
table between us acted as a barrier but
21:54
Natalie was still straining against
21:55
Quinn's grip her eyes wild with fury i
21:58
pointed at Natalie and yelled "Get out
22:00
right now or I'm calling the police."
22:02
Holding up my phone for emphasis my
22:04
heart was pounding so hard I could feel
22:06
it in my throat quinn begged us both to
22:08
calm down "op she doesn't have anywhere
22:10
to go right now." Louis took her car
22:12
keys her voice was shrill with panic as
22:15
she struggled to maintain her hold on
22:16
Natalie that explained the absence of
22:18
her car but I didn't care i was
22:21
completely done with Natalie and wanted
22:22
her to know it i marched to my home
22:24
office locked the door and called the
22:26
police i told them I'd been attacked by
22:28
my fiance's sister and had locked myself
22:30
in my office that I was bleeding from my
22:32
face natalie had scratched me pretty
22:34
badly near my left eye my vision was
22:36
blurry and I feared for my safety i even
22:39
claimed to have recorded the entire
22:40
altercation an embellishment I felt was
22:42
justified given the circumstances as I
22:44
finished the call Quinn started knocking
22:45
on the door op please come out we need
22:48
to talk about this and please I love you
22:50
don't do this and even Natalie is sorry
22:52
and wants to apologize
22:54
i'm pretty sure that last one was a lie
22:56
but Quinn was clearly panicking i
22:58
ignored her and her attempts to coax me
23:00
out ended when the police arrived at our
23:01
front door their arrival announced by
23:03
the sharp authoritative knocking that
23:04
echoed through the house i heard Quinn
23:06
talking to them and decided to come out
23:08
there were two male officers one younger
23:10
maybe Quinn's age with a fresh-faced
23:11
earnestness and an older one who looked
23:13
generally annoyed with life like he'd
23:14
seen this scenario play out dozens of
23:16
times before i introduced myself pointed
23:19
at Natalie stated she had attacked me
23:21
and offered to show them the recording I
23:22
claimed to have the younger officer
23:24
asked if I wanted to press charges i
23:27
said yes he asked again and I repeated
23:30
myself more firmly feeling my patience
23:32
wearing thin when he seemed about to ask
23:34
a third time I snapped yes damn it i
23:37
want to press charges i have video
23:39
evidence and this is going to court
23:40
where I'm calling your supervisor to
23:41
come handle it himself they seemed
23:43
surprised that I knew who their boss was
23:45
but in my line of work I interfaced with
23:47
local law enforcement regularly the
23:49
scratches on my face were stinging and I
23:51
could feel a trickle of blood near my
23:52
eye reinforcing my determination i was
23:55
getting seriously agitated and while I
23:57
understood what these officers were
23:58
thinking I completely disagreed the
24:00
facts were clear natalie had assaulted
24:03
me in my own home and I wanted her gone
24:05
thankfully they didn't escalate the
24:06
situation further they handcuffed
24:08
Natalie and put her in the patrol car
24:09
while she screamed and cried
24:10
hysterically quinn wasn't much better
24:12
repeatedly murmuring "No please no!"
24:15
Through her tears her makeup smudged and
24:17
her hair disheveled from the struggle
24:18
with her sister the younger officer came
24:21
back and asked if everything else was
24:22
okay i told him I was going to bed he
24:25
asked Quinn the same question and when
24:27
she didn't immediately answer he
24:28
repeated with more emphasis is
24:30
everything okay here ma'am it was
24:32
obvious what he was fishing for his hand
24:34
hovering near his belt as if ready to
24:36
reach for his handcuffs again by this
24:38
point I really disliked this guy but I
24:39
bit my tongue quinn finally realized he
24:42
was addressing her and nodded wiping her
24:43
tears with the back of her hand clearly
24:45
unsatisfied he started to ask again and
24:47
I interjected if you want to go fishing
24:50
you might want to do it on the lawn
24:51
where my doorbell camera isn't recording
24:52
you i'd probably pushed my luck one too
24:55
many times with this officer and I was
24:56
about 30 seconds from being handcuffed
24:58
myself when his older partner pulled him
24:59
away the older man probably in his late
25:02
50s with salt and pepper hair and deep
25:04
crows feet around his eyes likely didn't
25:06
want to process two arrests at the
25:08
beginning of a shift especially when one
25:09
would clearly be more trouble than it
25:11
was worth they left taking Natalie with
25:13
them and hopefully out of my life
25:15
forever at this point I considered
25:17
whether to stay or go elsewhere with my
25:19
parents living a couple of hours away
25:20
and my finances about to take a serious
25:22
hit I decided to sleep in our guest room
25:24
instead the thought of driving in my
25:26
emotional state was also unappealing
25:28
quinn made feudal efforts to get me to
25:29
talk or to join her in our bed but I
25:31
told her we'd talk tomorrow and that I
25:32
was exhausted thankfully she left me
25:34
alone and I slept harder than I had in
25:36
years the emotional toll of the day
25:38
finally catching up with me the next day
25:40
was the weirdest day of my life i woke
25:42
up around 11:00 a.m quinn was still home
25:44
and had cleaned the house from top to
25:46
bottom the floors sparkled the toilet
25:48
shined i could practically lick the
25:50
bathroom lenolium and taste mint the
25:52
scent of cleaning products hung in the
25:54
air almost overwhelming in its intensity
25:56
she was hovering at a distance looking
25:58
like she wanted to say something but
25:59
unsure how to start her eyes red rimmed
26:01
from crying i understood her uncertainty
26:04
was I just upset the night before did I
26:07
mean what I said about canceling the
26:08
wedding was I truly angry i took a deep
26:12
breath and told her we needed to finish
26:13
our conversation she tried to sit next
26:15
to me on the couch and although I
26:16
considered rebuffing her I didn't we
26:19
weren't getting married but I didn't
26:20
hate her i was disappointed and
26:22
disgusted by what I read in her texts
26:24
with Natalie but we were both hurting
26:26
and I didn't want to make things worse
26:27
or complicate our lives any further it
26:29
took considerable convincing for Quinn
26:30
to truly believe the wedding was off she
26:32
was not handling it well that's an
26:34
understatement she was a complete wreck
26:35
hyperventilating at times i was holding
26:38
it together better but I'd had longer to
26:39
process everything and the initial shock
26:41
had worn off somewhat finally she asked
26:44
the serious question what about us her
26:47
voice was small almost childlike in its
26:49
vulnerability i know I'll get hate from
26:52
people who think any relationship
26:53
transgression warrants a nuclear
26:54
response and yes calling off the wedding
26:56
was already like dropping a bomb on our
26:58
six-year partnership but truthfully I
27:00
didn't have an answer for Quinn in that
27:01
moment i just didn't know and I told her
27:03
so watching her face fall further with
27:04
each word i explained that reading those
27:06
text messages showed me a side of her I
27:08
never knew existed and I wasn't certain
27:09
about her or our relationship anymore i
27:12
couldn't understand why she would join
27:13
Natalie in putting down Louis
27:15
encouraging her cheating and
27:16
disregarding their daughter's wellbeing
27:18
the messages had revealed a callousness
27:20
that seemed completely at odds with the
27:21
woman I thought I knew quinn just kept
27:23
repeating "I know i know it was wrong i
27:26
know." Like a mantra that might somehow
27:28
erase what had happened if she said it
27:29
enough times when I asked for an
27:32
explanation she couldn't provide one
27:33
beyond saying she got carried away and
27:35
felt she had to choose her sister i told
27:37
her "A good sister keeps you on the
27:39
right path rather than giving you a free
27:41
path to be terrible." She agreed and
27:43
promised to do better explaining that
27:45
Natalie had always been the boss when
27:46
they were children and she was always
27:48
the follower too afraid to stand up to
27:49
her sister's strong personality i
27:51
understood this dynamic i have an older
27:53
sibling too though I'm more independent
27:56
my brother has lived across the world
27:57
for 18 years only visiting occasionally
27:59
during holidays perhaps I had an
28:01
advantage over Quinn because my older
28:02
brother is a decent person while Natalie
28:04
is trash still this explanation while
28:07
making some sense felt too convenient
28:09
too simple to explain away behavior that
28:11
had shocked me to my core then came the
28:14
second major shock of my life in 48
28:15
hours quinn suddenly burst out it's not
28:18
fair it's not fair her voice rising to a
28:21
pitch I'd never heard from her before
28:22
her hands balled into fists at her sides
28:25
what's not fair i asked genuinely
28:27
confused by the sudden outburst you were
28:30
texting that bimbo wife Nala girl on
28:31
Instagram last year and I got over it i
28:33
was so hurt but I moved past it why
28:35
can't you get over this why tears
28:38
streamed down her face as she hurled
28:39
these accusations at me what who the
28:41
hell is Bimbo wife Nala i had absolutely
28:43
no idea what she was talking about i
28:45
asked if she was high or having a
28:47
psychotic break mean I know but I
28:49
genuinely haven't been texting anyone
28:50
especially not some Instagram model with
28:52
a ridiculous name that sounded more like
28:53
a cartoon character than a real person i
28:56
protested loudly while Quinn yelled
28:57
through tears claiming she saw the
28:59
messages last year and decided not to
29:00
confront me because I had stopped
29:02
apparently she'd been checking my social
29:04
media accounts from my home computer
29:05
when I was at work which should have
29:07
been incredibly boring since I only have
29:08
family and a few work friends on there
29:10
and I rarely post anything i offered to
29:13
let her log into all my accounts and
29:14
check for herself but she just called me
29:16
a liar a pervert and worse she started
29:19
throwing things at me first a decorative
29:21
pillow then a TV remote that narrowly
29:23
missed me and that's where we'll leave
29:25
it for now the story of Quinn and her
29:28
shocking betrayal is far from over will
29:30
I ever truly forgive her what will
29:32
happen to Natalie and what about Louis
29:34
and his daughter the answers are still
29:37
