I didn’t suspect anything until he started coming home late. He always gave the excuse that there was so much work to do at the office. I wanted to believe him but something seemed off. Out of curiosity, I went through his phone and discovered their chat. I saw the girl’s name, searched for her on TikTok, and realised he has been commenting on almost all her videos.

From all indications, he is not ready to end his relationship with this lady. So I decided to know as much as possible about her.

I once met her in town with a mutual friend of mine. I ignored her, but from her behaviour, it seemed she already knew I am her boyfriend’s wife.

“Tell her to choose between the two of you so she doesn’t contract any disease from that boyfriend for you to pass it on to me,” I demanded.
