My husband is out of town. I’m so excited to hold you!” After seeing a screenshot of her husband’s anonymous text discussion, Lauren decides to confront him about his lover. When she enters the bedroom with their teenage son’s teacher, she hides on the balcony.
Lauren’s phone rang at forty-five as she was getting ready for her business trip to Miami. Curious, she clicked on a message from an unknown number and was horrified to see a graphic screenshot of her husband, Dustin, having a private conversation with another woman.
“The kids are at grandma’s while my wife is out of town. We’ll have the place to ourselves tonight, honey.” read the text written by Dustin, 46. “Can’t wait to have you in my arms and in my bedroom ;)”
Lauren was shocked to discover that her 25-year marriage had been falsified.
But she couldn’t just sit there and cry because she hadn’t done anything wrong. She needed to explore the depth of this relationship. To make it look like she had gone on a trip, Lauren hid her luggage and turned off all the lights. Then she crept onto the balcony behind a thick potted palm tree.
She waited nervously for hours until she heard Dustin’s SUV on the gravel road. Her pulse began to quicken, eager to find out who Dustin’s wife was.
A few minutes later, Lauren watched through the curtain as her husband brazenly walked into the bedroom with his lover. Her eyes widened in complete surprise when she realized the woman was Madison, her teenage son’s math teacher.
Madison leaned back on the bed and winked at Dustin with her thin little finger. He took off his shirt in no time and sat down comfortably next to Madison.
Lauren ran out of things to watch. With the sweetest surprise Dustin had ever experienced, she jumped out of her hiding place and headed for the bedroom.
“DUSTIN WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?” Lauren growled.
Dustin quickly stood up. “La – Lauren… You… are you home?” Dustin stumbled. “Thought…”
“You assumed I would fly to Miami while you play with your lover – ON OUR BED! How sick!”
Madison said, “Wait, Lauren.”
“I’m not your husband’s lover. I’m his daughter! And I texted you on your phone this morning,” Madison said.
“H-how is that possible?” Lauren stumbled and looked at Dustin to explain.
But a thousand ideas raced through his mind and his wide eyes remained fixed on Madison. Dustin fell into bed and held his head; he felt like he was being pushed off the edge of a cliff.
His expression was filled with sadness as he said, “Are you…Brooke’s daughter?”
Indeed! Madison replied, crossing her arms, “I am.”
“Oh god, it all makes sense now,” Dustin sobbed as he turned to Lauren. “Do you remember the day we fought 25 years ago?”
The season was the fall of 1995. Dustin and Lauren met at the park where they usually hang out. Lauren arrived with shocking news, but Dustin surprised his lover with a bunch of white roses and chocolates.
Dustin, it’s only been three years,” Lauren remarked. “We talked about it. My parents want me to go to New York to study interior design. I can’t ignore their words.”
“Lauren, this is overkill. “Why don’t you get it?” He questioned. “I just started a part-time job and I can’t travel that far to see you.
Dustin, I didn’t ask you to visit me. We can talk on the phone and exchange letters. God, please, why do you always have to complicate things? I will not leave you behind; I go there to study. Why not wait another three years?”
Dustin wasn’t convinced. “A connection that’s based on distance won’t last. Let’s break up. You’re following your parents’ wishes, that’s all. I’m forgotten.”
“Fine!” Lauren was beyond heartbroken. Her eyes filled with tears and she stormed off.
Dustin watched Lauren’s thin silhouette disappear at the entrance to the park. His year of intense passion came to an abrupt end and he was devastated.
“Dude, she left right away. She just muttered, ‘Humble FINE.'” That night at the pub, Dustin drank a beer and opened up to his companions.
“Come on, there are plenty of girls,” one of his friends assured him, patting him on the shoulder. “Just forget about her.
Dustin nodded ruefully. When his friend came to him with a female, whom he introduced as Brooke, he was completely drunk. Dustin was captivated by Brooke’s attractiveness and smoky gray eyes. As soon as he met her gaze, all memories of Lauren and their breakup vanished.
“Can I buy you a drink?” Dustin spoke and stared at Brooke who nodded and smiled suggestively.
Things got heated very quickly. Brooke and Dustin lingered at the bar for a while. After the party was over, Brooke and Dustin spent a wonderful night together in his one-bedroom apartment.
When Dustin awoke to the first warm rays of sunlight in his bedroom, he was alone. There was no sign of Brooke.
It was two weeks later. Dustin’s doorbell buzzed as he prepared to meet his friends. Lauren stood at his door with tears in her eyes as he pulled on his sneakers and idly opened the door.
“Lauren? Why are you in this place?” He let out a scream of shock.
“I won’t be visiting New York. I realized how much I love you when I’m apart. Dustin, I can’t live without you.”
Please excuse me,” she said.
Dustin was taken aback.
“Wait – what? Are you going to give up on your dream of designing my interior? How are yours going?”
“It’s my life and I’ve made a decision.” Lauren smiled. “My dreams are not as important to me as yours. With the money from college, we can start our future together. Should we start over, from scratch?”
Dustin was excited to have his girlfriend back. It was terrible to spend those two weeks without her. He jumped into Lauren’s arms and kissed her. But then he remembered his one-day fling with Brooke and pulled away from Lauren.
She asked, “What’s going on?”
“Uh…nothing…come on. Dustin decided to walk away from that night with Brooke by keeping quiet about it.
At Dustin’s, Lauren and he laughed and talked about their future together all day. Lauren asked him to pick up some groceries from the nearby supermarket while she cooked.
She replied, “…and we need some dark chocolate… and a jalapeño,” Dustin quickly kissed her and left his home.
He was looking forward to dinner with Lauren when he noticed Brooke waiting outside his house. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
“Brooke… what are you doing here?” Dustin rushed over to Brooke. “Look, you must never visit my house again.
We were so drunk that night that everything that happened was an accident. Please put it out of your mind. You know I-” Dustin started to explain, but Brooke cut him off with a surprising admission.
She said, “Dustin, I’m pregnant.”
“It can’t be,” Dustin yelled in panic. Please, Brooke, we can’t have this baby. Please, let’s just end this pregnancy.
Brooke replied in a harsh, icy tone, “I’m keeping this baby, Dustin.” “I came to ask if you are ready to be a father.
A solemn silence enveloped Dustin. His heart began to race. He realized that he couldn’t raise the child and he wasn’t going to risk losing Lauren one more time.
“Look Brooke, I adore Lauren. She’s back.”
Brooke interrupted me once again.
“Okay! That’s all I need to hear.”
I am ready to hide the fact that you are the father of my child. But to raise my child I will need money. $100,000 cash. It’s not much, because I’m going to raise this child alone. You won’t see me again if you give me money.”
It was a huge amount of money for young Dustin, who had just started working part-time. He gave Brooke a pleading look, but he knew she wouldn’t change her mind.
“Give me a few days, okay?” Dustin stated. “I’ll think of something. Now please go so Lauren doesn’t see you.”
Turning away, Brooke commented, “I’ll be waiting for you at 11 o’clock at the park…in two weeks,” leaving Dustin speechless.
Dustin pretended to smile at Lauren when he came back from the supermarket. They had dinner.
then watched a DVD while curled up on the couch. But Dustin couldn’t shake Brooke’s pregnancy. He had no idea where to find the money to satisfy her demands. After staring at Lauren for a brief moment, he realized something.
Dustin met Lauren by sneaking into her backyard when they started dating. Dustin hid in their garage after seeing Lauren’s father on the balcony.
There he discovered an unsecured trapdoor under the trash bags. Inside was a briefcase for money. Dustin pretended not to see the money and ran away.
Dustin grinned now, a plan forming in his head. After the movie, he rummaged through Lauren’s purse and took a key marked ‘Dad’s Garage’ before she passed out.
The next night, Dustin took Lauren for a walk home. He moved towards the garage as he watched the lights go out in Lauren’s living room and bedroom.
He stole the luggage with the cash and sneaked inside. He counted a whopping $120,000 in cash in his apartment. Dustin gave Brooke the money that evening when they met outside her rented apartment. She agreed to leave town with their little secret.
Dustin concluded with a deep sigh, “I never saw her after that.
“I can’t believe this!” Lauren growled.
“Were you the thief who entered my father’s vehicle? You are a murderer! Father took the money and he had a heart attack. When my father died, you were at the hospital comforting me! You assured me that the money thief would eventually atone for his wrongdoings!
“I…I’m sorry Lauren…I had no choice…” Dustin found himself at a loss for words.
“How could you do this to me?” Lauren growled.
“I gave up my dream because of you! You’re the reason I lost my dad! I gave up everything for a man who cheated me and took my dad’s money to support his child in secret!”
Madison realized at that moment that she could be silent.
She added: “My mother never told me about my biological father.” “I repeatedly asked her who my father was. But she refused to answer this question until six months ago when she was lying in bed and about to die. I decided that after considering all the hardships my mother had gone through, I would banish this man to responsibility.” and I had to endure because of him.
“With the information my mother gave me, I was able to locate him easily. Subsequently, I learned that you two had moved to a bigger house in the same neighborhood. I got hired as a teacher at the school your son attends. After paying such a small price for his lies and robbing my father, I was curious about the life of the guy who cheated my mother.
Madison glared at Dustin. As I watched him, I learned a lot of fascinating things about him – secrets that even as his wife you would never know! Lauren, I am so excited to tell everyone about my discovery.
Madison then displayed a dozen photos on the table – pictures of Dustin in compromising positions with several lovers.
“That’s your boss’s wife!!” Lauren gasped as she glared daggers at her husband. Just then, Dustin’s phone rang. It was his boss.
“Hey, Dustin…WHAT DID I JUST GET ON THE MIL?” Dustin’s boss snapped from the other end of the line.
