love hearing from you My name's Jake
0:30
Turner and for the past few weeks I've
0:32
been living in a fog Something's off
0:35
with my wife Emily I can't prove it but
0:38
my gut's telling me she's hiding
0:40
something It's not one big thing just a
0:43
bunch of little moments that don't sit
0:44
right She's distant Her phone's always
0:47
buzzing and she's got this weird energy
0:50
like she's somewhere else even when
0:52
she's right next to me I'm not the
0:55
jealous type but man this feeling's
0:57
eating me up I keep asking myself is she
1:01
cheating i don't have evidence just this
1:04
gnawing sense that something's wrong I'm
1:06
sitting in this dive bar nursing a Jack
1:08
Daniels trying to piece it together The
1:11
place is quiet just a handful of
1:13
regulars killing time Rains pounding
1:16
outside making everything feel heavier
1:18
The bartender Mike gives me a nod He's
1:21
seen guys like me before drowning their
1:23
worries in whiskey There's a woman in
1:26
her 40s at the end of the bar all doled
1:28
up laughing too loud with some older
1:30
dude who's clearly trying to impress her
1:32
It's kind of desperate you know Everyone
1:35
here is just stuck
1:38
And me i'm stuck in my head wondering if
1:40
I'm crazy or if Emily's really stepping
1:42
out on me I take another sip and that's
1:44
when I hear her voice
1:47
Jake I turn and there's Lily Emily's
1:50
younger sister standing there her coat
1:53
dripping from the rain Her eyes lock
1:55
onto mine and it's like she can see
1:58
straight through me She says she was
2:00
worried about me Figured I'd be here I'm
2:02
thrown off Why is she hunting me down
2:05
like this
2:06
i signal Mike for a vodka soda for her
2:09
and we slide into a booth in the corner
2:11
away from prying ears Lily's not messing
2:13
around
2:15
She leans in her voice low and says
2:17
she's noticed me acting off lately like
2:20
I'm carrying a ton of bricks
2:22
I try to play it cool tell her I'm fine
2:25
but she's not buying it Lily and I go
2:28
way back I started dating Emily 7 years
2:32
ago and we tied the knot 5 years back
2:35
Lily was just a kid then 17 all stareyed
2:39
maybe even had a little crush on me But
2:42
now she's 25 sharp confident and
2:46
honestly someone any guy would be lucky
2:48
to know She's always been like a sister
2:51
to me though and we've stayed tight Even
2:53
when she and Emily butttheads she looks
2:55
at me her brown eyes dead serious and
2:58
drops the bomb I know what's going on
3:01
Jake My stomach twists I play dumb ask
3:05
her what she means but she's not letting
3:07
me off the hook Don't [ __ ] me she
3:10
says We've known each other too long
3:13
Then she says it she thinks Emily's
3:15
cheating it's like a punch to the chest
3:18
Part of me saw it coming but hearing it
3:20
out loud it's brutal I lean back staring
3:24
at the table trying to process
3:27
Lily tells me about this sketchy phone
3:28
call Emily got a few weeks ago They were
3:31
hanging out and Emily stepped out of the
3:34
room to take it which was weird since
3:36
they're sisters
3:38
Lily being nosy checked Emily's phone
3:40
later No lock code Total amateur move
3:45
The call was from some guy saved as Ryan
3:48
Lily didn't know any Ryan but it stuck
3:50
with her She kept her eyes open and
3:53
started noticing other stuff Emily being
3:55
secretive sneaking texts acting cy my
3:59
head spinning How did I miss all this i
4:02
ask if it's just friendly chats maybe
4:04
old friends catching up Lily gives me a
4:08
look like I'm clueless It started that
4:10
way she says But it's not anymore She
4:14
tells me Emily's been meeting this Ryan
4:16
guy lunches at least one dinner maybe
4:19
more I think back to those times Emily
4:22
said she was at a work event or grabbing
4:25
drinks with colleagues
4:27
It's all starting to add up and it's
4:29
killing me
4:31
I'm pissed but I'm also stuck in this
4:33
weird denial Like if I don't admit it
4:35
it's not real Lily's not letting me hide
4:39
Jake I love you but you got to wake up
4:41
She says "This is happening."
4:44
She tells me she caught Emily leaving a
4:46
restaurant with Ryan last week looking
4:48
way too cozy I feel my blood boil but
4:51
Lily's worried I'm going to do something
4:53
dumb She's like "Don't go off halfcocked
4:57
We need a plan."
4:59
She promises to dig up more like where
5:02
Emily might be right now I thank her my
5:05
voice tight and tell her I'm done
5:07
playing nice
5:10
Emily and this Ryan guy they're going to
5:12
regret crossing me The next morning I
5:14
wake up with a pounding headache
5:16
sprawled out in bed Emily's already
5:19
downstairs making coffee like nothing's
5:21
wrong I stumble into the kitchen and she
5:24
asks how I'm feeling all sweet and
5:26
concerned
5:28
I mutter something about drinking with
5:29
an old buddy named Ryan Yeah I dropped
5:32
his name on purpose Her face twitches
5:34
for a second and I know I got her She
5:37
plays it off but I'm watching her like a
5:39
hawk I ask what she was up to last night
5:42
and she lies Says she was home by 9:30
5:45
after drinks with work friends Total BS
5:48
I was home till 10:00 before I hit the
5:50
bar That's strike one She keeps chatting
5:53
Mentions she's meeting up with Ryan an
5:55
old friend later I suggest inviting him
5:58
over keeping my tone light but I'm
6:00
fuming inside She brushes it off says
6:03
it's no big deal but I can tell she's
6:06
rattled Strike two I head to work but my
6:10
mind's racing I start locking things
6:12
down moving money out of our joint
6:15
account securing my finances even
6:17
setting up a meeting with a divorce
6:19
lawyer If Emily thinks she's getting
6:21
half of everything she's in for a rude
6:24
awakening At the office Lily calls with
6:27
more dirt She got Ryan's address and
6:29
workplace from a friend who saw him with
6:31
Emily They're getting sloppy acting like
6:34
a couple in public I pull up Ryan's
6:36
social media and his face It's familiar
6:40
I can't place it but it's bugging me I
6:42
call Emily at lunch and she mentions a
6:44
client meeting with a Mr Carter Ryan
6:47
Carter Strike three
6:50
This guy's not just a fling He's a
6:52
full-on threat and I'm done sitting back
6:55
That night I link up with my buddy Nate
6:57
a guy who's got my back no matter what
7:00
He's got a rough past some run-ins with
7:03
the law combat training but he's loyal
7:05
as hell I called him earlier told him I
7:08
needed help and he didn't even ask
7:10
questions
7:11
We gear up in his garage dark overalls
7:14
ski masks looking like we're about to
7:16
rob a bank No words just a plan We hop
7:21
into this beat up car Nate got nothing
7:23
flashy and head to Ryan's place thanks
7:26
to the address Lily gave me We park
7:28
outside his house lights low watching
7:31
It's quiet just one light on inside
7:35
Then the front door opens and Ryan steps
7:37
out gets in his car and pulls away Nate
7:40
follows keeping distance We know where
7:43
he's headed a driving range he hits up
7:45
regularly
7:47
We park in the lot blending in the radio
7:49
humming softly The tension's thick and
7:52
I'm itching to move but Nate's cool as
7:54
ice We wait till the place clears out
7:58
Just a few cars left Ryan's alone
8:01
heading to his car Nate slips out moves
8:04
like a shadow and let's just say Ryan's
8:07
night takes a turn We're back in the car
8:09
and gone before anyone notices No
8:12
cameras no trace Back at Nate's we kick
8:15
back with some poker The guy is giving
8:17
me props for keeping it together I'm
8:19
feeling good but I'm not done I want to
8:22
mess with Emily's head When I get home
8:24
late I stumble in acting drunker than I
8:27
am dropping hints that I know
8:29
something's up She's on edge asking if
8:32
there's someone else
8:34
I laugh it off but I'm planting seeds
8:37
The next morning I grab her phone before
8:40
she can see a text from Ryan and slide
8:43
it back like it's nothing She's freaking
8:45
out and I'm loving every second Things
8:48
start moving fast Lily finds out Ryan's
8:51
in the hospital Guess that driving range
8:53
visit left a mark Emily's acting weird
8:56
saying she's visiting a friend at the
8:58
hospital I know it's him I drive to
9:01
Ryan's place and knock on the door His
9:04
wife Sarah answers looking tired I tell
9:07
her I'm Jake Emily's husband and lay it
9:10
all out Her husband's affair with my
9:12
wife She's crushed but not shocked Turns
9:16
out Ryan's done this before She's ready
9:19
to divorce him and I give her my
9:20
lawyer's info One problem down one to go
9:25
Back home Emily's falling apart She
9:28
knows I'm on to her but she's still
9:30
trying to play it cool I confront her
9:33
lay out everything her lies Ryan the
9:36
hotel stays She crumbles begs for
9:38
forgiveness says it was just fun I'm
9:41
done I call Lily to come get her Emily
9:45
sobbing as Lily packs her bags and in 10
9:47
minutes she's out the door I build a
9:50
fire in the backyard and burn every
9:52
trace of her Clothes photos all of it
9:56
The flames feel like freedom But let's
9:58
rewind a bit because this story's got
10:00
layers See Emily and I had what I
10:04
thought was a solid marriage We met
10:06
through a mutual friend hit it off and
10:09
dated for 2 years before I popped the
10:11
question
10:12
She was funny smart and had this smile
10:15
that could light up a room
10:17
We settled into a good life decent jobs
10:20
a cozy house plans for the future No
10:22
kids yet but we talked about it Lily was
10:26
always around tagging along when she was
10:28
younger and even though she and Emily
10:30
clashed sometimes we all got along The
10:33
trouble started a few months back subtle
10:35
at first Emily started working late
10:38
saying it was a big project Her phone
10:41
was always glued to her hand and she'd
10:43
get jumpy if I got too close I brushed
10:46
it off Work stress right but then there
10:49
were the girls nights that didn't add up
10:51
The way she'd dodge questions about her
10:53
day I'd catch her smiling at her phone
10:56
then she'd lock it quick when I walked
10:58
in My gut started screaming but I didn't
11:01
want to believe it Nobody does
11:05
sitting in that bar staring at my
11:07
whiskey I kept replaying those moments
11:11
The time she said she was at a
11:12
conference but her car was parked
11:14
downtown
11:16
The way she'd shower right after getting
11:17
home late like she was washing something
11:19
away I felt like an idiot for not seeing
11:22
it sooner Lily's words kept echoing in
11:26
my head You got to wake up And man I was
11:30
wide awake now Lily's been a rock
11:32
through all this She's got her own life
11:34
works as a graphic designer dates here
11:36
and there but she's always had my back
11:40
Back when Emily and I were dating Lily
11:42
was this awkward teen always hanging
11:44
around maybe crushing on me a little
11:47
Emily used to get annoyed saying Lily
11:49
was too clingy but I thought it was cute
11:52
Now Lily's all grown up and she's the
11:54
one keeping me grounded while my world
11:56
falls apart When she told me about Ryan
11:59
it wasn't just the affair that hurt It
12:02
was the betrayal Emily and I took vows
12:05
You know we promised to have each
12:06
other's backs And Ryan he's married got
12:11
two kids living this double life like
12:13
it's no big deal I looked him up after
12:16
Lily gave me his info He's some
12:18
mid-level sales guy Thinks he's hot
12:20
stuff Seeing his smug face on his
12:23
LinkedIn profile made my blood boil
12:26
That's when I called Nate Nate and I go
12:28
way back High school buddies who've been
12:30
through some [ __ ] He's the guy you call
12:32
when you need someone to have your back
12:34
No questions asked When I told him what
12:37
was going on he just said "What's the
12:39
play?" No judgment no hesitation That's
12:43
Nate We planned it out Nothing crazy
12:47
just enough to send Ryan a message The
12:50
driving range was perfect isolated no
12:52
cameras and Ryan's routine made him an
12:54
easy target Nate handled it like a pro
12:57
and I drove us out clean Messing with
13:00
Emily was almost too easy She's so used
13:02
to me trusting her that she didn't see
13:04
it coming That morning in the kitchen
13:07
when I mentioned Ryan I saw the panic in
13:09
her eyes She tried to cover it but she's
13:12
a terrible liar
13:14
When she brought up meeting him later I
13:16
pushed just enough to make her squirm
13:19
Every lie she told dug her deeper and I
13:21
was done playing the fool Locking down
13:23
my finances felt good like taking back
13:25
control
13:27
I moved most of our joint savings to a
13:29
new account Left just enough to avoid
13:31
raising flags I called my lawyer Tom
13:34
who's handled stuff for my family before
13:37
He said it would be a clean split No
13:39
kids no major assets tied up Emily's got
13:42
her own account so she's not destitute
13:45
but she's not getting my half of the
13:46
house or my savings Not after this When
13:50
Lily told me Ryan was in the hospital I
13:52
didn't feel bad Guy had it coming
13:55
Emily's hospital visit was the final
13:57
nail in the coffin Driving to Sarah's
14:00
place I didn't know what to expect but
14:02
she deserved the truth She was quiet
14:05
tears streaming down but she wasn't
14:07
surprised She said Ryan's cheated before
14:10
promised to change but never did Handing
14:13
her Tom's card felt like closing a
14:15
chapter The confrontation with Emily was
14:19
heavy
14:20
I walked into the house saw her on the
14:22
couch looking like she knew the jig was
14:24
up I poured a drink stared her down and
14:28
let the silence do the talking She tried
14:31
to play it off asked where I'd been but
14:33
I wasn't having it I told her I knew
14:35
about Ryan about the lunches the dinners
14:38
the hotels Her face went white and she
14:41
started babbling apologies excuses
14:43
saying it didn't mean anything I laughed
14:46
bitter as hell didn't mean anything It
14:50
meant everything I told her we were done
14:53
Called Lily told her to get Emily out
14:55
before I lost it Emily was a mess crying
14:58
begging but I was numb Lily packed her
15:02
bags in record time And just like that
15:05
Emily was gone
15:07
Standing in the backyard watching her
15:09
stuff burn I felt this weird mix of
15:11
relief and rage Relief that it was over
15:15
Rage that it happened at all It's been a
15:17
few days since Emily left The house
15:20
feels empty but I'm not lonely I've got
15:22
Nate Lily and a plan to move forward I'm
15:26
meeting Tom tomorrow to start the
15:27
divorce papers Emily's been blowing up
15:30
my phone but I'm not ready to talk Maybe
15:33
I never will be Sarah called said she's
15:36
moving forward with her divorce too
15:38
Ryan's out of the hospital but he's got
15:40
bigger problems now Lily's checking in
15:43
daily making sure I'm not spiraling
15:46
She's digging up more on Ryan just in
15:48
case he tries to come at me I told her
15:51
to let it go but she's stubborn Nate's
15:54
already talking about our next poker
15:56
night like nothing happened That's the
15:59
thing about good friends They keep you
16:00
grounded when the world's on fire
16:02
Looking back I should have seen the sign
16:04
sooner Emily's late nights her locked
16:06
phone the way she pulled away But love
16:10
makes you blind you know I trusted her
16:13
and she burned me Now I'm picking up the
16:16
pieces and I'm not doing it quietly
16:18
Emily and Ryan thought they could play
16:20
me but they forgot who I am I don't
16:24
forgive and I don't forget This story is
16:26
not over but for now I'm taking it one
16:29
day at a time Retribution's coming and
16:31
when it does it'll be swift Thanks for
