Adrian and his mistress were having an intimate evening, but when his wife returned early, things took a surprising turn. A simple pizza box held a clue that exposed Adrian’s betrayal and changed everything for him.
The city lights shimmered outside their apartment as Adrian watched Claire pack her suitcase.
“Business trips again?” Adrian sighed.
“The trips, meetings, deadlines, they’re all part of the job,” Claire explained, zipping up her suitcase.
The doorbell rang, interrupting Vanessa and Adrian in the bedroom.
“Honey, could you answer that?” Vanessa teased playfully. “I’m exhausted from your love.”
“Be ready for more, babe!” Adrian chuckled before he rushed out to answer the door while buttoning up his shirt. He was irritated to see the pizza guy, his face obscured by the helmet, in the doorway.
Adrian snatched the box from the man and frowned. Vanessa approached the door.
“Did you eat the pizza on the way? Why is this box so light? First of all, you come here and interrupt me! And now this?”
Adrian unboxed the pizza, only to find divorce papers inside instead of an actual pizza.
“DIVORCE PAPERS? Is this some kind of joke?” Adrian gasped.
“You might want to look down at the signature, Adrian!”
Claire removed the helmet and revealed herself, stunning both Adrian and Vanessa.
“SURPRISE!” she smiled and marched inside. “Adrian, I long suspected that you were seeing someone…but my love for you blinded me. Oh, how did I miss noticing that you were my husband’s…sorry, soon-to-be-ex-husband’s mistress?!” She looked at Vanessa, who stood near the door in nothing but a bedsheet.
“Claire, you’re crazy. So what if I was cheating on you? No one’s gonna believe you! You have no proof!” Adrian argued.
Claire revealed a hidden camera under her dress. “Everything’s recorded. I bet this tiny thing is enough to expose your betrayal.”
As Adrian pleaded for another chance, Claire grew angrier.
“That’s enough! You’ve been betraying me forever,” she declared, rejecting his pleas.
Vanessa also begged for forgiveness, claiming she was seduced by Adrian. Claire was just done with both of them. She decided to end both her marriage and friendship.
“Both of you liars and two-faced traitors deserve each other! Trust, once broken, is forever broken! You’ve got one hour to pack and get the hell out of my house…and my life! Good luck!”
Claire hurled her wedding ring on the floor and stormed out of the house, glaring at Adrian. Her heart ached to think that her child would never have a father, but not having a father was better than a deadbeat dad.
Months after the divorce, Claire found herself on a Hawaiian beach, basking in the pink and gold sunset, embracing her newfound freedom and peace. Adrian eventually learned she was pregnant. But he never approached her asking to be a part of the baby’s life. Why would he? He was just a greedy man and a cheater!
