Right after I paid off my husband’s $300,000 debt, he confessed he had an affair and said I had to leave the house. My in-laws supported the other woman. I couldn’t help but laugh. “Have you lost your mind?” I asked. “Did you forget something?”

He looked irritated and asked what I meant by that question. I tilted my head slightly and told him that he had forgotten something extremely important.

The entire room went quiet as they waited for me to explain. Jonathan crossed his arms and demanded that I tell him what exactly he had forgotten.

I walked further into the living room and placed the champagne bottle carefully on the table. “For three years, I have been the one paying off your business loan,” I said in a steady voice.

Vanessa smirked and said that they already knew that because Jonathan had told her everything. I looked at her and smiled politely before shaking my head.

“Oh no, he definitely did not tell you everything,” I replied calmly.

Jonathan frowned and told me to stop being dramatic because he clearly thought I was trying to create unnecessary tension. I reached into my handbag and pulled out a folder before placing it on the coffee table.

Inside were the official loan documents that he had signed years ago when his company was on the edge of collapse. Patricia leaned forward slightly and asked what exactly we were supposed to be looking at.
