The doorbell rang at 6:15 p.m. and I was
0:03
genuinely surprised to see my cousin
0:05
Ralph standing on the stoop.
0:08
I rarely got home before midnight, a
0:10
fact he was well aware of. We watched
0:13
Monday Night Football, sharing a beer,
0:16
and he seemed disappointed that my wife
0:18
Lois wasn't there. She had called
0:20
earlier, a rare occurrence, to say she
0:22
was going for a drink with her
0:24
co-workers.
0:25
I found myself anxiously awaiting her
0:27
return, a feeling of desperation clawing
0:30
at me. For over 3 weeks, Lois and I
0:34
hadn't been intimate. Her excuses were
0:36
always the same. I'm tired or I have a
0:39
headache. Ralph left around 8. And I
0:42
dozed off in front of the TV, something
0:44
I never did. When I woke, a thick layer
0:48
of static clinging to my senses. Lois's
0:51
car was in the driveway. She still
0:53
hadn't come inside. Finally, I found her
0:56
in bed. I tried to wake her, but her
0:59
groggy voice muttered, "Oh, it's you."
1:02
It wasn't a greeting. It was a
1:04
dismissal. My disappointment curdled
1:06
into a cold rage. "Who did you think it
1:10
was, you miserable cow?" I spat. I
1:12
stormed out, grabbed a beer, and
1:14
retreated to the patio. It was in that
1:16
moment, under the indifferent stars,
1:19
that I first allowed myself to question
1:21
the lies. My mind raced. How could I
1:23
prove it? A private investigator was out
1:26
of the question. I couldn't afford it.
1:29
Restless, I went inside and popped in a
1:32
blank tape I found, intending to watch
1:34
last week's NCIS.
1:37
Instead, I found something else. The
1:40
static on the screen gave way to a
1:42
hidden camera feed. The angle was from
1:44
our closet, a perfect damning view of
1:47
our bedroom. And there they were, my
1:50
wife Lois and my cousin Ralph.
1:54
The betrayal was a physical blow, a
1:56
punch to the gut. I paused the tape and
1:58
went upstairs. Lois was sound asleep, a
2:02
picture of false innocence. I went back
2:04
downstairs, resumed the tape, and
2:06
watched as my world shattered. My heart
2:08
pounded, a drum of fury and humiliation.
2:12
I finally had my proof. The universe had
2:15
given me a gift in the form of my wife's
2:17
brazen carelessness. I slammed the phone
2:20
down, glared at Lois, and said, "Thanks
2:23
to you and my idiot cousin, I don't need
2:25
a private investigator. You handed me
2:27
all the evidence I need." The next
2:30
morning, with Lois now gone, I began my
2:32
work. I drained our joint account,
2:35
canceled her credit cards, and started a
2:37
new list. Divorce lawyer, get back my
2:41
life. My boss, Allan, called me into his
2:45
office and sent me on a flight to
2:46
Atlanta to handle a difficult contract
2:48
negotiation.
2:50
I was hesitant, worried about leaving
2:52
the house unguarded, but Allan assured
2:55
me that his lawyer, Bert Ellsworth,
2:57
would handle everything.
2:59
He also arranged for a restraining order
3:01
against Lois, a detail I twisted to
3:04
Ellsworth, claiming Ralph was the one
3:07
making threats.
3:09
If he tries anything, I'll knock some
3:11
sense into him. I lied, knowing the real
3:14
reason I needed a protective order was
3:16
to keep Lois at bay. The trip was a
3:18
success, and I returned home with a fat
3:20
new contract and a quiet sense of
3:22
victory. "When I arrived home at
3:24
midnight, a sheriff's deputy was
3:25
waiting. He handed me a ring of keys and
3:28
explained that all the locks had been
3:29
changed."
3:31
"Lois was here twice," he said, got
3:34
angry when she couldn't get in.
3:36
A new wave of satisfaction washed over
3:38
me. I had cut her out completely. At
3:41
work, my secretary, Myra, informed me
3:44
that Lois had been calling non-stop.
3:47
Myra, a woman with a quick wit and a
3:49
kind heart, had been a rock through this
3:51
whole ordeal. She had a list for me, not
3:54
of tasks, but of women interested in me
3:56
now that I was single.
3:59
Liz Fischer from accounting, she said.
4:01
She kicked out her fianceé after
4:03
catching him cheating. She'd snatch you
4:05
up if you were single. Myra's name
4:08
wasn't on the list.
4:10
Why? I asked. Because you're married,
4:13
she said. And I don't want to date a
4:15
married man.
4:17
We shared a knowing glance, a silent
4:19
acknowledgement of the hypocrisy in the
4:21
air. I called Ellsworth, who confirmed
4:23
the divorce papers were filed and would
4:25
be served to Lois before lunch. "You're
4:28
getting a protective order because
4:29
you're scared of her and you're filing
4:31
for divorce because she's cheating,"
4:33
Myra said.
4:35
Sounds like a man in control.
4:37
She was right. For the first time in
4:39
years, I felt a sense of power. I was no
4:42
longer a victim. I was the architect of
4:45
my own escape. Myra and I started having
4:48
long secret lunches at a hotel, a quiet
4:50
rebellion against the life Lois had
4:52
tried to destroy. I was no longer an
4:55
emotional wreck. I was a man on a
4:58
mission. The betrayal unveiled. At our
5:01
meeting at Angelina's restaurant, Lois
5:03
was stunning, but the sight of her no
5:06
longer stirred desire in me, only a
5:08
cold, hard resolve.
5:11
I ordered separate checks, a small act
5:13
of defiance that visibly irritated her.
5:16
She pleaded with me, telling me that her
5:18
affair with Ralph meant nothing. "It was
5:22
just physical," she said. "I love you,
5:25
Dave. I always have." "Why did you
5:27
prioritize him over me?" I asked, my
5:30
voice dangerously calm. For the past 6
5:33
months, how often have you been there
5:35
for me? Every night you had an excuse.
5:38
And then there's the tape. Lois's face
5:40
went white. What tape? She sputtered.
5:44
The tape you and Ralph so generously
5:46
made for me, I said, a cruel smile on my
5:48
lips. I have it. I have all the proof.
5:52
She jumped up, her heels clicking
5:54
against the floor. No, you don't, she
5:57
blurted out. I took that tape. I
5:59
destroyed it. So, you admit to cheating,
6:02
I said, my voice rising in triumph. And
6:04
you admit to destroying evidence.
6:07
She was cornered, her lies crumbling
6:10
around her. I don't care about Ralph,
6:12
she said, her voice a desperate whisper.
6:15
I just needed what he offered. I need
6:17
you, Dave. I walked away, a grin
6:20
spreading across my face. I knew she
6:22
hadn't checked the tape she took from
6:24
the house. It was a blank. The weeks
6:27
that followed were a blur of legal
6:28
maneuvering and clandestine meetings
6:30
with Myra. Lois's lawyer reached out,
6:34
signaling her intent to contest the
6:36
divorce. I was overjoyed.
6:39
I wanted her to spend thousands on legal
6:42
fees to fight me every step of the way,
6:45
only to discover I had the real tape all
6:47
along, the ultimate revenge.
6:51
Finally, the meeting with Lois and her
6:52
attorney arrived. I arrived early. the
6:55
tape tucked securely in my briefcase.
6:58
Lois, confident and defiant, denied
7:01
everything.
7:03
I'll make you a deal, I said. A new
7:05
proposal. Sign the papers now and I'll
7:07
agree to a 60/40 split. You have 2
7:09
minutes to decide.
7:12
You have no proof, she sneered. It's
7:14
your word against mine. Oh, but I do, I
7:17
said, a slow, theatrical smile spreading
7:20
across my face. I unlatched my
7:23
briefcase. I have the tape. Lois lost
7:26
it. Damn it, Dave. I already told you I
7:30
destroyed the damn tape. Oh, I said. So,
7:33
you admit to infidelity and destroying
7:35
evidence?
7:37
Her eyes widened in horror. She had just
7:39
admitted to everything in front of her
7:41
lawyer, a public confession that would
7:43
seal her fate. The revenge was complete.
7:47
I had won.
