Mistress on My Husband's Phone

"Shall we head home?" Derrick approached me at the empty reception area.With weary steps, I followed Derrick to our car, suppressing my emotions, knowing they would crumble when the time came.On the way home, Derrick seemed happy, smiling to himself as if infatuated. However, to me, he seemed more like a madman.As Derrick drove and savored his moment, I discreetly texted Carrie, my assistant, whom Derrick did not know about.Carrie managed all my business affairs, including the property business I had been quietly running. Advanced technology and communication tools were invaluable in overseeing this venture from home, particularly when Derrick was at the office, and I was taking care of household chores.The car pulled into the driveway, stopping in front of my mother-in-law's house. Yes, ever since we got married, we had been living with my mother-in-law, Ruth. Derrick always claimed his savings weren't sufficient whenever I broached the topic of buying a house."Sarah, wher

"Sarah!""Yeah, Mom?""Where have you been? I'm hungry. My head is spinning looking at this mess. Lorraine's kids are so naughty." Ruth, who had just woken up, came out of her room and approached me."I've already cleaned the house, Mom. Please be patient. The food will be ready soon.""Lorraine is so irresponsible, leaving her kids here," Ruth muttered.Ruth was rather strange. She wouldn't dare say things like that in front of her own daughter.But no matter what, I had a moral duty to continue respecting her.After finishing the cooking, I invited Ruth to eat together at the dining table. She must be really hungry by now."Mom!" Lorraine's loud voice came from outside."When entering someone's house, it’s better to greet and say hello. Don't just yell," I muttered as I enjoyed the still-warm lunch."Hey, this is my mom's house. I can do whatever I want. You're just a guest here. Don't tell me what to do," Lorraine snapped, glaring at me."Relax, Lorraine. Your face is alr

"Hi, I'm Kendall." The woman extended her hand to me. Her long nails were painted bright red."I'm Sarah." I finally shook her hand."You're really beautiful, Kendall, just like your mom when she was young," Ruth praised, making Kendall smile proudly.Actually, Kendall did have a pretty face and fair skin. She was tall and slim. Unfortunately, she had used her good looks to flirt with married men.Did Derrick know the guest was Kendall?I heard a car pulling into the driveway. It seemed Derrick had just come home. I was very curious to see Derrick's reaction when he saw Kendall."Hello everyone." Derrick's voice called from outside."Hello." We all answered together."Huh, what are you doing here, Derrick?""Kendall...?"Derrick and Kendall seemed surprised and pointed at each other.They clearly didn’t expect to meet here.The woman, with her heavy makeup, looked delighted when she saw my husband."I'm glad you two know each other," said Ruth, beaming."Kendall is Sonia'

"Hi, everyone.""Hi, Sarah," Ruth answered.I greeted Ruth, who couldn’t take her eyes off my shopping bags. Lorraine was staring at them too. She must have noticed the branded bags I was carrying.I pretended not to care and placed all my shopping bags on the dining table.Derrick followed me into the bedroom. "Where did you get the money to buy all this stuff?" he asked, his face turning red."It’s my money," I replied firmly."Where did you get so much money? These are expensive things, right?" he asked again."What’s wrong with you? Yesterday you said I couldn’t buy nice clothes because I didn’t manage my money well. Now that I’ve bought them, you’re mad. You're the one who told me to look nice." I tried to stay calm.Derrick went silent."Derrick, come here!" Ruth called from the living room.They seemed to be having a serious conversation."This house is the only asset our family has, Lorraine. I don't agree with using it as collateral for a bank loan." Derrick’s voice

"Derrick, I want a divorce!" I said, my voice trembling.Derrick stared at me silently, then smirked."You have no one in this world, Sarah. What will you do without me? Just because you got a job, now you want a divorce? Your salary might not even cover your and Gillian's needs." Derrick spoke, his smile mocking."Let it go, Sarah. If Derrick wants to have Kendall, let him. What's important is that he doesn't divorce you. You can still live here." Ruth chimed in."I'd rather walk through the flames of hell than share a house with that bitch!" I snapped then went back to my room.This morning, I didn't prepare Derrick's needs like I usually did. My heart was already broken. My decision was firm; I wanted a divorce. There was nothing left worth fighting for here.I quietly packed some of Gillian's clothes and school supplies into a suitcase, along with some of mine."Sarah! Where are my clothes and pants?"Sarah!"Derrick yelled from his room while I was in Gillian's room."Fi
