i've been working for a big telecom
0:39
company for years selling cuttingedge
0:41
tech to businesses across the country
0:44
it's a solid gig but the real grind
0:47
comes with the trade shows three massive
0:49
events every year in different cities
0:51
each one a 5-day marathon of chaos
0:55

at clients demoing tech shaking hands
1:18
and talking up our latest gear for the
1:21
past 5 years I've been the guy who's
1:23
there from start to finish no matter how
1:25
exhausted I am I'm the one packing up
1:28
the last box making sure the trucks
1:30
loaded before I even think about heading
1:32
home it's grueling but I'm good at it
1:36
and I take pride in the hustle this
1:38
particular show was in May at the San
1:40
Diego Convention Center san Diego's got
1:43
that perfect vibe sunny skies cool ocean
1:46
breeze the kind of place that makes you
1:48
feel like you're on vacation even when
1:50
you're working i was pumped ready to
1:53
charm clients and close deals
1:56
the first couple of days went like
1:57
clockwork we set up the booth tested the
2:00
tech and by Tuesday morning we were in
2:03
full swing the convention floor was
2:05
buzzing hundreds of people flashing
2:08
lights the hum of excitement i was in my
2:12
element cracking jokes with potential
2:14
clients handing out business cards
2:16
feeling like I was on top of the world
2:19
i'd been doing this for years and I knew
2:21
how to work a room but Tuesday night
2:24
everything changed in a split second i
2:26
was walking back to my hotel after a
2:28
long day my mind already on grabbing a
2:31
quick burger and crashing early the
2:33
streets were lively tourists and locals
2:36
mixing under the glow of street lights i
2:38
wasn't paying much attention just
2:40
replaying the day in my head when I
2:42
stepped off a curb wrong my right ankle
2:45
twisted hard and pain shot up my leg
2:47
like a lightning bolt i hit the ground
2:50
cursing loud enough to turn heads
2:53
i hobbled back to my hotel icing my
2:55
ankle hoping it would be better by
2:57
morning no dice
3:00
by Wednesday it was swollen to the size
3:02
of a grapefruit throbbing with every
3:04
heartbeat i limped to the convention
3:06
center determined to tough it out but I
3:09
was useless i couldn't walk couldn't
3:12
carry equipment couldn't even stand for
3:15
more than a minute without wincing
3:18
my colleagues were giving me sympathetic
3:19
looks but I could tell they were annoyed
3:22
i was dead weight slowing down the whole
3:24
operation at lunch my boss Steve pulled
3:28
me aside steve's a nononsense guy all
3:30
business no fluff he looked at my ankle
3:34
then at me and said "Jake if you can't
3:37
work there's no point in you sticking
3:39
around find a flight home." I was caught
3:42
off guard but honestly I was relieved 5
3:46
years of grinding through every show
3:48
staying until the last crate was loaded
3:50
and now I was getting a free pass to
3:52
head home a day early i wasn't about to
3:54
argue i pulled out my phone booked a 2
3:58
p.m flight to St louis and by early
4:00
afternoon I was at the airport hobbling
4:02
through security on crutches they lent
4:04
me at the convention center my ankle was
4:06
screaming but I was excited to get home
4:08
early maybe surprise my wife Lindsay and
4:11
fix whatever was off between us let me
4:13
back up a bit because this story isn't
4:15
just about the trade show it's about my
4:17
life unraveling
4:20
lindsay and I had been married for 9
4:21
years we met in our mid20s fell hard and
4:25
built a life together
4:27
we had a cozy two-story house in St
4:29
louis a dog named Max and what I thought
4:32
was a solid partnership
4:35
but the week before I left for San Diego
4:38
Lindsay was acting strange she was quiet
4:41
distant like she was carrying a secret
4:43
she wasn't ready to share
4:46
i'd catch her staring out the window
4:48
lost in thought or giving me these short
4:50
clipped answers when I tried to talk
4:53
i asked her point blank what was wrong
4:56
but she just shook her head her lips
4:58
tight and said "We'll talk when you get
5:01
back."
5:02
Lindsay's always been the type to need
5:04
space when she's upset so I didn't push
5:06
it i figured we'd sort it out when I got
5:09
home maybe over a glass of wine like we
5:12
always did when things got rocky i had
5:15
no idea how wrong I was on the plane I
5:18
called her from the airport left a
5:19
voicemail letting her know I'd be home
5:21
by 8:00 p.m i was thinking maybe this
5:24
early return was a chance to clear the
5:26
air get things back on track i pictured
5:30
us sitting on the couch Max curled up
5:32
between us talking it out maybe even
5:35
laughing about whatever had her so
5:36
worked up i was hopeful despite the pain
5:40
in my ankle which was now a dull
5:42
constant ache the flight was smooth and
5:45
as the plane touched down in St louis I
5:48
felt a flicker of optimism
5:50
little did I know I was walking straight
5:53
into a nightmare the taxi pulled up to
5:55
our house just as the sun was setting
5:57
casting long shadows across the lawn
6:00
our street was quiet the kind of
6:03
suburban calm where kids ride bikes and
6:05
neighbors wave but as I paid the driver
6:08
and grabbed my bag I noticed something
6:10
that made my stomach twist
6:12
there was a black Cadillac parked in our
6:14
driveway sleek shiny totally out of
6:17
place i didn't know anyone who drove a
6:19
car like that and it bugged me lindsay
6:22
knew I was coming home early why the
6:24
hell did she have company over we were
6:27
supposed to have this big serious talk
6:29
and she's got some random guest my
6:32
annoyance was already simmering mixing
6:34
with the pain in my ankle as I hobbled
6:36
up the walkway leaning on my crutches i
6:39
let myself in through the front door
6:41
trying to keep my cool but my gut was
6:43
telling me something was off as soon as
6:45
I stepped inside I heard voices coming
6:48
from the family room low conversational
6:50
like they were having a casual chat it
6:53
was Lindsay and a guy my pulse kicked up
6:56
a notch my heart thutting in my chest i
7:00
set my bag down quietly not wanting to
7:02
announce myself just yet i crept through
7:05
the kitchen my crutches making soft
7:06
thumps on the hardwood my ankle
7:08
screaming with every step i peaked
7:11
around the corner into the family room
7:13
and my world stopped there was Lindsay
7:16
sitting on the couch and next to her was
7:18
my best friend Ryan Carter
7:21
ryan and I go way back college roommates
7:24
wingman at bars the guy I'd trust with
7:26
my life
7:28
seeing him there wasn't the problem the
7:30
problem was Lindsay's blouse unbuttoned
7:33
hanging open way too casual for just
7:36
hanging out her posture the way she
7:39
leaned toward Ryan the soft laugh in her
7:41
voice it was all wrong i stood there
7:44
frozen my mind racing my ankle throbbing
7:47
like it was caught in a vice
7:50
they hadn't seen me yet too wrapped up
7:52
in their conversation my blood was
7:54
boiling but I didn't know what to do
7:58
yell turn around and leave demand
8:01
answers
8:02
before I could decide I stepped into the
8:04
family room my crutches clacking and
8:07
blurted out "What the hell is going on?"
8:10
My voice was louder than I meant echoing
8:12
in the quiet house lindsay jumped like
8:15
she'd been shocked her eyes wide her
8:17
hand flying to her chest "jake what are
8:21
you doing home?" she said her voice a
8:23
mix of surprise and something else
8:25
something I couldn't quite place
8:28
ryan just sat there this smug little
8:30
smirk curling his lips like he was
8:33
enjoying the chaos he'd just ignited i
8:35
started firing questions what's he doing
8:37
here why is your shirt like that what's
8:40
going on but Lindsay didn't flinch she
8:43
just looked at me calm as anything and
8:45
said "Jake it's not what you think." Her
8:49
voice had this weird edge like she was
8:52
almost pleased I was there
8:55
ryan's smirk grew and I could feel my
8:58
fists clenching around my crutches ready
9:00
to limp over and deck him bad ankle or
9:02
not i didn't care that he was bigger
9:05
than me that he'd probably wipe the
9:07
floor with me in a fight i was done
9:11
but before I could take a step someone
9:13
grabbed me from behind i hadn't heard a
9:15
thing no footsteps no warning this guy
9:19
was strong his grip like iron he twisted
9:22
my right arm up behind my back making me
9:24
gasp and his other arm locked around my
9:26
neck in a choke hold i could still
9:29
breathe but just barely and I knew he
9:33
could cut off my air if he wanted
9:34
lindsay stood up stepping closer her
9:37
eyes locked on mine "you get it now
9:40
don't you Jake?" she said her voice cold
9:43
almost triumphant
9:45
she started talking about how she knew
9:47
what I'd been up to at these business
9:48
shows how Ryan had told her everything
9:51
every dirty detail she said she was hurt
9:55
angry and they'd been waiting for me to
9:57
come home so they could have this
9:59
twisted little celebration i was
10:01
struggling against the guy holding me my
10:03
ankle screaming trying to shout that I
10:06
didn't know what she was talking about
10:07
that I'd never done anything wrong
10:10
but then he clamped a cloth over my
10:12
mouth and nose wreaking of some sharp
10:14
chemical smell my vision blurred my
10:18
knees buckled and the world went dark
10:21
when I came too I was in the guest
10:22
bedroom tied spread eagle to the bed
10:24
with speaker wire the wires were so
10:27
tight my hands and feet were going numb
10:29
my fingers and toes tingling like they
10:31
were falling asleep my sprained ankle
10:34
was a whole new level of pain like
10:36
someone was pressing a hot iron against
10:38
it
10:39
i tried to move to test the bonds but
10:42
every tug sent a fresh wave of agony
10:44
through me my head was foggy my mouth
10:47
dry and I felt like I'd been hit by a
10:50
truck the room was dim the only light
10:53
coming from a TV at the foot of the bed
10:56
it was on and what I saw made my stomach
10:58
churn it was Lindsay sitting there
11:01
half-dressed with Ryan next to her she
11:04
was talking to the camera to me her
11:07
voice dripping with venom
11:09
hope you're awake Jake she said "We've
11:11
got a show for you." She went on about
11:14
how Ryan told her I'd been cheating on
11:16
her at these trade shows how he'd
11:18
spilled all my secrets she said Ryan got
11:21
to go first because he was the one who
11:23
clued her in and then she called in
11:25
another guy Darius the one who'd grabbed
11:29
me she was gloating saying they were
11:31
going to have fun while I watched and
11:33
they were recording it so I could enjoy
11:35
it later
11:36
darius stepped into frame this big
11:39
intimidating dude with a grin that made
11:40
my skin crawl he wished me a good time
11:43
watching their spectacle his voice
11:45
mocking i was done in that moment our
11:49
marriage was over
11:51
i didn't care what Lindsay did anymore i
11:54
just needed to get out my hands and feet
11:57
were losing feeling and I was terrified
11:59
I'd lose them if I didn't act fast i
12:02
started pulling at the wire on my left
12:04
leg gritting my teeth through the pain
12:07
tug rest tug rest it felt like hours my
12:12
muscles burning my ankle screaming
12:15
finally the wire snapped my ankle was
12:17
bleeding the skin torn where the wire
12:19
had dug in but I kept going the right
12:22
leg was worse my sprained ankle felt
12:25
like it was being ripped apart i pulled
12:28
until the wire broke tearing my skin
12:30
blood pooling on the bed soaking into
12:32
the sheets i was dizzy laded but I moved
12:36
to my wrists using my teeth to chew at
12:39
the wires my right wrist came free
12:42
bleeding like crazy the skin raw and
12:44
torn my left wrist followed with smaller
12:48
cuts but still a mess i was free but I
12:51
was a wreck blood was everywhere on the
12:54
sheets the floor my clothes my hands i
12:58
tried to stand but the room spun and I
13:00
had to sit back down on the edge of the
13:02
bed my head was pounding my face achd
13:05
and I was nauseous fighting the urge to
13:07
puke i closed my eyes trying to steady
13:11
myself when I heard Lindsay's voice
13:13
again i thought she was in the room my
13:16
heart racing but it was the TV she was
13:19
asking if I was watching her voice
13:21
taunting
13:23
i glanced at the screen and it was her
13:25
Ryan and Darius doing things I couldn't
13:27
unsee my anger boiled over a white hot
13:31
rage that made me want to scream i
13:34
stumbled to my feet swung my arm at the
13:36
TV and blood splattered across the
13:38
screen blurring their faces dripping
13:41
down the glass in the mirror across the
13:43
room I caught a glimpse of myself
13:46
my forehead had a nasty bruise four
13:49
small lumps like knuckle marks it hit me
13:52
like a freight train lindsay planned
13:54
this she had me drugged beaten tied up
13:58
all to humiliate me in the worst way
14:00
possible part of me wanted to grab a
14:02
baseball bat from the garage and storm
14:04
downstairs consequences be damned ryan
14:07
was big darius was bigger but I was so
14:10
angry I didn't care but I was too weak
14:13
still woozy from whatever they had used
14:14
to knock me out plus I didn't want to do
14:17
something stupid that would land me in
14:19
jail or worse dead
14:23
i needed to be smart not reckless an
14:25
idea started forming something that had
14:27
hit them harder than any fist i smeared
14:30
blood on the bed posts the pillows and
14:32
dragged two bloody lines across the
14:34
carpet to the door making it look like
14:36
I'd been dragged out i limped to the
14:38
guest bathroom my crutches abandoned
14:41
somewhere in the chaos and grabbed gauze
14:43
and tape from under the sink i was
14:46
careful to clean up any blood I left
14:47
behind wiping down the sink and floor
14:50
our master bedroom was downstairs so I
14:53
wasn't worried about them hearing me
14:55
back in the bedroom I bandaged my ankles
14:57
and left wrist leaving my right wrist
14:59
open for now i grabbed the cordless
15:02
phone from the nightstand smeared blood
15:04
on it for effect and dialed 911
15:07
"help!" I yelled my voice "they're going
15:10
to kill me!" "Oh God please." I let the
15:14
phone drop to the floor keeping the line
15:16
open and made my way down the back
15:18
stairs to the garage moving as fast as
15:20
my busted ankle would let me i slipped
15:22
outside the cool night air hitting my
15:24
face and hobbled to the Cadillac in the
15:26
driveway i smeared blood on the driver's
15:29
door handle then left a bloody handprint
15:31
on the trunk making it look like I'd
15:33
been stuffed inside i crossed the street
15:36
to an empty lot my heart pounding and
15:38
hid behind some bushes crouching low i
15:42
bandaged my right wrist wincing as the
15:44
gauze pressed against the raw skin my
15:47
head was still spinning but I was
15:49
grinning this was going to work 5
15:52
minutes later police cars rolled up
15:54
lights flashing sirens blaring two cops
15:57
went to the front door two to the back
16:00
they knocked waited then pounded on the
16:03
door lindsay opened it and even from
16:05
across the street I could tell she was
16:07
rattled her shoulders stiff her
16:09
movements jerky they asked about the 911
16:12
call and she played dumb saying she was
16:14
alone that her husband was out of town
16:16
at a business show but then the cops
16:18
from the back came around with Ryan and
16:20
Darius in cuffs caught trying to sneak
16:22
out lindsay's story fell apart she
16:26
slumped against the door frame looking
16:28
like she'd been hit by a truck i was too
16:31
far to see her face but I could imagine
16:34
the panic the realization that her plan
16:36
was unraveling
16:38
more police cars showed up their lights
16:40
painting the street red and blue i knew
16:43
they were finding the guest bedroom
16:45
blood everywhere cut wires the phone on
16:47
the floor the TV still playing their
16:50
sick show
16:52
ryan and Darius were yelling they didn't
16:53
do anything to me as they were shoved
16:55
into patrol cars their voices carrying
16:57
across the quiet street
17:00
the cops checked the Cadillac spotted
17:02
the blood and popped the trunk jackpot
17:05
they found guns and what looked like a
17:07
kilo of cocaine
17:09
one cop shouted "We've got weapons and
17:11
drugs." They towed the car and soon
17:14
Lindsay was led out in handcuffs her
17:16
head down her steps slow they taped up
17:20
the house as a crime scene yellow tape
17:22
criss-crossing the front door and I knew
17:24
it was time to move i limped 10 blocks
17:26
to a shopping center with a McDonald's
17:28
my ankle screaming my body aching i
17:32
looked like I just walked off a horror
17:34
movie set bloody bandages bruised face a
17:37
goose egg on my forehead that throbbed
17:39
with every step i expected everyone to
17:42
stare but this place was full of folks
17:45
who looked just as rough street people
17:47
eating burgers sipping coffee minding
17:50
their own business i blended right in
17:53
ordered a large coffee with the change
17:55
in my pocket and sat in a corner sipping
17:57
and smiling
17:59
i pictured Lindsay Ryan and Darius
18:01
trying to explain where my body was they
18:04
couldn't and anything they said was
18:06
going to sound like a lie my plan was
18:09
working better than I'd hoped and I felt
18:12
a twisted kind of satisfaction like I'd
18:14
just played the winning hand in a high
18:16
stakes game but I had one last piece to
18:19
figure out how to reappear without
18:21
getting in trouble for setting this up
18:23
by my second coffee my mind was clearer
18:26
and I had it i headed to a park I knew
18:28
joggers and dog walkers hit early in the
18:31
morning it was a long walk nearly an
18:33
hour and every step was torture my ankle
18:36
barely holding up i tossed my bandages
18:39
in a trash can lay down by a jogging
18:41
trail and waited dozing on and off
18:44
despite the pain my wrists and ankles
18:46
were raw my head pounding but I stayed
18:48
put at dawn a guy with a dog spotted me
18:52
just like I'd planned i played groggy
18:54
out of it no ID my wallet was still on
18:57
the nightstand at home an ambulance took
19:00
me to the hospital and I kept up the act
19:02
couldn't stay awake couldn't answer
19:04
questions clearly mumbling like I was
19:06
half out of it by noon a detective named
19:08
Tom Harper showed up notepad in hand i
19:11
was ready my story rehearsed
19:14
i told him I came home early from San
19:16
Diego found Lindsay with Ryan got
19:19
grabbed from behind and woke up tied to
19:21
the bed i described the TV Lindsay with
19:25
Ryan and Darius and hearing them talk
19:27
about dealing with me i said I broke
19:30
free called 911 dropped the phone when I
19:33
realized Lindsay was in on it and
19:35
somehow got out but my memory was hazy
19:38
after that i played up the confusion the
19:42
fear letting my voice shake just enough
19:45
harper said Lindsay was claiming she
19:47
thought I cheated and just wanted to
19:49
teach me a lesson i acted pissed said
19:52
Ryan fed her lies and I never cheated i
19:55
told him she could have asked me and I'd
19:57
have proved it showed her my phone my
19:59
emails anything
20:01
he didn't push back just took notes his
20:03
face unreadable the next day I was
20:06
released from the hospital my wounds
20:08
patched up my ankle still a mess but
20:10
manageable
20:11
back home there was a voicemail from
20:14
Lindsay her voice desperate begging me
20:16
to come to the police station say it was
20:18
a misunderstanding and bail her out i
20:21
deleted it grabbed a beer from the
20:23
fridge and laughed the sound echoing in
20:25
the empty house her friend Megan who
20:28
I've never liked she's always been a bad
20:30
influence the kind of person who stirs
20:32
up drama showed up later that day
20:35
fishing for info
20:37
i told her the same story I told Harper
20:40
laying it on thick about the betrayal
20:42
the fear she acted shocked her eyes wide
20:46
but defended Lindsay saying it wasn't
20:48
like her maybe she was having a
20:50
breakdown i called [ __ ] lindsay
20:53
could have talked to me instead of
20:55
pulling this stunt
20:57
megan asked if I'd hear Lindsay out give
20:59
her a chance to explain i said "Maybe
21:03
but why didn't Lindsay give me the same
21:04
chance?"
21:06
Then Megan leaned in kissed me on the
21:08
mouth and offered to help i played dumb
21:11
thanked her and got her out the door my
21:13
skin crawling at her nerve that
21:15
afternoon I met with a lawyer Mark
21:17
Reynolds in a sleek downtown office
21:20
i laid out what Lindsay did every detail
21:23
my voice steady but angry i said I
21:26
wanted divorce papers served ASAP no
21:29
delays he was hesitant his brow furrowed
21:33
saying "Maybe I should think it over
21:35
make sure I had all the facts i pushed
21:38
back hard if he wouldn't move fast I'd
21:40
find someone who would we agreed to
21:43
serve her in two days at her parents
21:45
house where she was staying i left his
21:48
office and headed straight to the bank
21:50
closed our joint accounts canceled our
21:52
credit cards and opened new accounts in
21:54
my name i knew I might have to split the
21:57
money later but I was damn sure going to
21:59
make her work for it over the next few
22:01
weeks Lindsay called non-stop home work
22:04
didn't matter i ignored every call
22:07
letting them go to voicemail deleting
22:09
her messages without listening
22:12
a month later my lawyer said she wanted
22:14
a meeting to avoid contesting the
22:16
divorce
22:17
i told him no face to face if she wanted
22:20
to fight it fine but I wouldn't talk
22:23
until she agreed to the divorce
22:25
we'd stay legally married but I was done
22:28
with her no calls no meetings no second
22:31
chances
22:32
he passed the message along and I could
22:34
tell he was surprised by how firm I was
22:37
then I visited Clare Ryan's wife at
22:39
their house across town clare's a
22:41
sweetheart always has been with a warm
22:44
smile and a kind heart she felt bad
22:47
about what happened apologizing for
22:49
Ryan's actions but I shut that down fast
22:52
she wasn't responsible for his crap just
22:54
like I wasn't for Lindsay's we sat on
22:57
her couch sipping coffee and talked for
22:59
hours
23:01
there was a spark something real one
23:04
thing led to another and we ended up in
23:06
her bedroom taking things slow
23:08
connecting in a way I hadn't felt in
23:10
years
23:11
afterward she whispered she'd be down to
23:14
do it again her breath warm against my
23:16
ear i was all in feeling alive for the
23:20
first time since this whole mess started
23:22
a week later the DA's office called evan
23:25
Walsh the assistant DA said Lindsay's
23:28
lawyer claimed I might not press charges
23:30
i set him straight i never said that i
23:34
told him I didn't know if Lindsay
23:35
planned to drug me or tie me up so tight
23:37
I'd lose circulation but I wasn't asking
23:39
to drop charges i left it to them to
23:42
decide in the end Darius got slammed
23:45
with assault kidnapping and drug and
23:47
weapon charges hard time in a max
23:50
security prison ryan pleaded guilty to
23:53
assault got a year in minimum security
23:57
lindsay got probation for conspiracy to
23:59
commit unlawful restraint but it was a
24:01
felony so she had no leverage in the
24:03
divorce
24:05
i kept the house the savings everything
24:08
and it felt like a small victory in a
24:10
war I never wanted to fight a month
24:12
after the divorce Megan pushed me to
24:14
meet Lindsay i was curious despite
24:17
everything so I agreed to a cocktail
24:19
lounge near my house lindsay slid into
24:22
the booth across from me her eyes red
24:24
her hands trembling she thanked me for
24:27
coming started apologizing saying she
24:30
believed Ryan's lies about me cheating
24:33
i cut her off i never cheated and she
24:36
could have asked me checked my phone my
24:38
emails anything
24:40
she admitted she was hurt angry and lost
24:43
perspective i pointed out she suspected
24:46
me before I left for San Diego but
24:48
didn't say a word instead she planned
24:51
this whole revenge scheme with Ryan and
24:52
Darius a guy I didn't even know who
24:55
turned out to be mixed up with drugs she
24:57
blushed admitted she slept with Ryan the
25:00
night before I came home and said Darius
25:02
was just to rub it in she thought this
25:04
would even the score and we'd move on
25:07
like some twisted math equation i
25:10
laughed in her face the sound harsh even
25:12
to my own ears i told her she had no
25:15
proof just Ryan's word and instead of
25:18
talking to me she humiliated me in the
25:21
worst way possible i said "You tied me
25:24
up made me watch you with my best friend
25:26
and some random dude and thought I'd
25:28
forgive you most people would have just
25:31
had an affair you went way beyond."
25:35
She was sobbing begging for another
25:37
chance saying she loved me that it was
25:40
just physical with Ryan and Darius that
25:43
I was the only man she'd ever loved
25:46
she said she'd do anything to make it
25:47
right i leaned in put my hand on her
25:51
shoulder and whispered "Drop dead."
25:54
Her head hit the table her sobs loud and
25:57
broken and I walked out her cries fading
26:00
behind me as I stepped into the night 7
26:02
months later Clare and I got married it
26:05
was a small ceremony just close friends
26:07
and family with Max the dog wagging his
26:09
tail in the background for the first
26:12
time in a long time I was happy like a
26:15
weight had been lifted claire's laughter
26:18
her warmth her honesty it's everything I
26:21
didn't know I was missing so Wistlum

26:27
most insane chapter of my life what do
