After years of trying to save my marriage, I thought catching my husband, Logan, with another woman was rock bottom. But nothing prepared me for how he flaunted his affair or for the unexpected ally who came to set things right. Logan and I had been married for five years. The fairy-tale phase quickly ended as we struggled with infertility. While I sank deeper into despair, Logan drifted away, more focused on his gym sessions and fast cars than supporting me.One night, after my best friend Lola convinced me to get out, I found myself at a jazz club. Lola noticed something off and pointed out Logan across the room, cozied up with a younger woman. My heart sank, and before I knew it, I confronted him. His smug response—”I’m in love with someone else. It’s over”—left me numb.
The next morning, I arrived home to find my belongings scattered across the lawn, with Logan standing on the porch next to his mistress, Brenda. He coldly told me to leave, but as I packed, Mr. Duncan, Logan’s tough grandfather, showed up. Upon seeing the scene, his anger flared. Mr. Duncan immediately told Logan to leave and cut him off from the family fortune. He then offered me the house and his support, even suggesting IVF for our fertility struggles. With Logan gone, I felt a weight lift, and within days, my name was on the deed to the house.Soon, Logan, homeless and desperate, came crawling back, begging for help. But without an apology, he just regretted losing his family’s wealth. I had the satisfaction of telling him, “You made your bed, lie in it.”Logan’s ego was crushed, and as I slammed the door on him, I realized I was finally free.
