Tricked by My Cheating Husband's Perfect Lie
Red Hot Fish
The day I find out I'm pregnant, I also discover my husband is cheating on me. To think that Brock Emerson, a celebrated OB-GYN, is sleeping with his own protegee, Wendy Blair!
I strip Wendy's clothes off in front of the entire hospital, humiliating her for everyone to see. After that, the staff group chat turns into a daily betting pool on whether I'll show up to cause another scene.
When Brock pulls me off the balcony railing yet again, he drops to his knees.
"I've already had Wendy transferred. What happened that day was just an accident. You're all I care about."
I give Brock two choices—either he sends Wendy to prison, or he signs the divorce papers. He personally submits evidence of Wendy's medical malpractice and chooses to stay.
From then on, every year on the anniversary, I visit Wendy in prison to ease my grief over losing my child.
On one of those visits, as I sign the log on my way out, I overhear two janitors talking.
"That poor woman still hasn't figured out it's not really Wendy in there. It's just some actress they hired as a look-alike."
"Dr. Emerson was scared she'd lose it again and hurt Dr. Blair, so he paid to build a whole fake prison wing just to keep her fooled. He and Dr. Blair are the real thing."
"I heard their baby turned one today, and the whole family's celebrating together. They couldn't be happier."
My blood runs cold. I can't believe what I'm hearing.
The whole time I think we're starting fresh, Brock already has another family.
