In seven years I had feared for this day to come and my hope that it would never happen had increased for every year that passed. But today it was a reality. It was the worst day in my life, though it was an average sunny Tuesday in May. The day had begun almost as usual and, if it hadn't been for a forgotten wristwatch, I would never have gotten to know how important that day really would be for me.
Of course, I knew the risks and couldn't deny that lots of people had warned me not to do what I did seven years ago and I knew that now I would hear many times that I ought to have listened to their warnings. But I didn't listen and will never regret that I didn't do that.
I can never forget when the shit hit the fan and my world began to fall to pieces. I was already dressed and stood in the kitchen making my breakfast when I noted that my watch was still in the bedroom so I went back in there to get it. My lovely common-law wife, Alexandra, had gotten up from her bed and was dressing. To my great surprise, I noted that she was dressed in a new, lacy sexy bra, small sexy panties and dark stay up stockings which I never seen before. When she came out to the kitchen after a while she even had a little shorter skirt than she used to wear at her work and more make up than usual.
She worked in the marketing department at the steel industry, which totally dominated our small Scandinavian town and she hardly needed any sexy underwear for her work there. When I asked her the reason for the sexy outfit and if she had intended to go for a date with some pussy hound, she got a fearful expression for a split second before she began shouting and accusing me of losing my mind.
I replied to her without raising my voice, "It doesn't matter whether I have lost my mind or not, the consequences of cheating will be the same. I can't stop you from doing it but I will kick you out when you have done it."
I'm sure that I hadn't lost any mind because it had been obvious to me how Alexandra had begun changing her behavior in slight steps a few weeks after "the Bench" came to our town and got a job at the same department as Alexandra. He is a former national soccer team player who even spent a year as a professional player in one of the best English Premier League Clubs and made good money there though he spent most of the time on the player's bench beside the field. He came to our town some years after a knee injury had ended his career as a player.
Thanks to his continuing fame and social abilities he was hired for a PR and marketing job at the steel company where Alexandra worked. However the people in our town rather soon found out that this guy was a bragging asshole, so he got his new local nickname, "the Bench", which made him furious. Nobody could deny that "the Bench" was a good looking guy and few people were surprised when the rumors began to circulate in town that his snobbish BMW M5, the only one of that kind in the area, had been seen several times outside the most discrete room at Junction Motel, about 20 kilometers away from town.
There are groupies who adopt all kinds of famous people and I knew that many guys envied him having great sex with limited effort, at least as long as he fucked somebody else's girlfriend or wife and not theirs.
I expected serious problems with that guy because I was hundred percent sure that he was working hard on Alexandra and probably already had some success with her. Alexandra and I had a serious argument about the rumors regarding the Bench's pussy hunting only a week before the day she dressed extra sexy for her job. I had made it completely clear for her that I wasn't so stupid than I understood that such a very beautiful wife as she must be one of the most preferred targets in his pussy hunting at the office. To avoid all possible misunderstandings in the future, I told her what I would do if she didn't want or couldn't resist his attempts.
The change in Alexandra's behavior against the Bench had slowly turned into some kind of admiration. Though she herself hardly noted it, her behavior had made it clear for me that the Bench had an advantage over me in Alexandra's mind about what she really wanted to do; "cheat or not cheat" or, in other words, did she want "Great moments of excitement with a famous lover?" or "Wedding, marriage and family with a faithful man?" She wasn't stupid and I'm sure she had some serious thoughts before she decided what to do. In my humble opinion I had done everything that could been done to save our relationship and keep our family together. I had talked to her about the problem and did my best to be the perfect loving husband. What else could I do? However, if my efforts weren't enough to keep my wife faithful, I swore that I would never accept any sloppy seconds after the Bench and be a laughing stock among my friends and acquaintances.
I had some simple plans about what to do if the expected problems would appear and had stored some equipment in my car just in case I got the necessary clues. In all rumors about the Bench, his affairs had happened at the same motel 20 kilometers outside our town, so I expected him and Alexandra to have their date there if he got her on his hook. I was sure they didn't dare to meet either in my house or in his. Therefore that motel was the main target in my plans.
That very day I saw Alexandra's new sexy underwear there had been a strange feeling in my stomach the whole day, so I called her work phone at one o'clock and was told that she had taken the day off after lunch, which meant "go to action" for me.
My foreman Kent was involved in my plan, so I borrowed his Ford Focus, picked up the bag with useful things from my own car and left for the Junction Motel. On the road I phoned Alexandra's cell phone. We had agreed that I would only call her cell phone if I needed to talk with her during her work time. She replied after a while and sounded a bit stressed.
"Alexandra."
"Hi, darling. Did I disturb you? Doing something special?"
"No, nothing special. Working as usual."
"At your office?"
