Eventually, I gave into the urge to take his phone and thus picked it up from the cabinet. I knew I had limited time to go through it because he would be back from the bathroom soon.
The first thing I did when I got hold of his phone was to open it. And to my surprise, he had a picture of a woman that wasn't me as his screensaver.
I almost lost my mind at that point because I never expected to see such as a shock. I knew that I had to look for more in his phone.
I didn't even need to do much when a notification lit up his device. It was from a contact saved as 'My heartbeat'. My curiosity took the better of me and I instantly clicked on the message to read the content.
'I miss you so much. When are you coming back to my place?'
That was the content of the message and it signalled just how serious the relationship between my husband and whoever the woman was.
It was going to be the same woman he sent the gift to. Chloe, or whatever her name was.
My curiosity led me to scroll all the way up so I could find the other messages between the two of them and the things I could see immediately gave me an idea of what was indeed going on between them.
