Many stories have been written about cheating wives and the revenge of their husbands. This tale follows the usual format and utilizes many of the related plot features of other writers. For those looking for a totally dehumanized ending for the wife; this story is not for you. I've tried to recognize the necessity for love where a marriage and children are concerned. There's not much sex here either. Now on with the story where all the characters and situations described are totally fictional.
It all came to light accidently, as such things do. I'd come home from work feeling sick and was laying on the couch in family room with my eyes closed. I had just gotten home after parking my car in the garage. It was a cool day so I'd shut the garage door behind me after I'd pulled inside. My wife didn't know I was home when she pulled into the drive, since she left her car outside the garage. She and her sister, Karla, came in through the front door and went into the kitchen. The sofa I was on faced away from the entry to the family room; they couldn't see me laying there. I was about to get up and announce my presence but when I lifted my head I got so nauseous I fell back down on the sofa again until the feeling past.
In the meantime I was barely aware of their talk in the kitchen. I gathered that my wife stopped at our house on the way to drop off Karla to show her a new dress she'd bought for their annual outing to Chicago. Once a year for the last four years the two of them took a weekend trip together from our home in Indianapolis to the windy city to take in a show and and art exhibits. Karla's husband, Bob, and I would stay home and watch the kids while they were gone. We felt that they worked hard looking after our preschool kids during the year and we could afford to give them a weekend away from their responsibilities.
By the way, my wife's name is Janis and mine is Jim. We have two kids, Ryan 5 and Sean 2. Janis and I had been married seven years and I was a middle manager in a large logistic company. We managed to live reasonably comfortable on my salary. My wife is a very attractive woman and has worked to maintain her figure after two kids. We have sex frequently and really enjoy each other. I thought we were the perfect couple and had the perfect marriage.
Karla and Bob live a few blocks away and we did most things together as families and as good friends. Karla was a slightly younger replica of my wife and the two were almost inseparable. They have a daughter, Melissa, 3.
As I quietly continued to lay there waiting for my episode of nausea to pass I could hear Karla exclaiming over the dress my wife was showing her.
"My gosh, that's a sexy dress. Has Jim seen it and does he know you're taking it on the trip?"
"No, if he saw it he might get suspicious, so don't say anything."
"OK, Randy is really going to get a charge out of it.."
Who the hell is Randy? I thought. My nausea had passed but I continued to lay there waiting to hear more.
"Are you going to take a little something for Mark?" my wife asked.
Who the hell is Mark?
"I have some special lingerie I've kept hidden from Bob, that will really turn him on." Karla responded.
"I have some special lingerie too Jim hasn't seen either that's sure to fire Randy up."
Good god, I thought. They must be having affairs and it sounds like they know these guys pretty well. I was stunned and shocked by the implications of what I was hearing. Who were these guys and how long and how often had they been meeting? My mind was already spinning from what I'd heard so far as they continued to talk.
"Are you going to continue on your birth control pills again this year.?"
"Yes, I only wanted one child from Randy. Its lucky that he and Jim look so much alike. Jim's mother even thinks Sean is the spitting image of Jim."
My god! My god! I suddenly felt like I'd been kicked in the gut and now my nausea was hitting me like a sledge hammer. I struggled to hold on to my heaving stomach. I wanted to puke so bad that the bile was forcing its way up my throat. Thankfully, at that moment, they decided to leave so Jan could take Karla home. I got up off the sofa quickly heading for the downstairs john as they were closing the front door. I barely made it to the toilet. The puke was entering my mouth as I stuck my head in the toilet and let fly. Thank heaven the lid was up. I must have puked up everything except my ass hole and I still had the dry heaves when I finished. It took me a second to realize that I needed proof of any infidelity and I needed to get out of the house before Janis got back. Hurriedly, I sprayed some air freshener in the bathroom and grabbed my jacket and ran into the garage, got in my car, opened the garage door and took off down the street; shutting the door behind me.
I drove to a nearby mall parking lot and sat in my car thinking about what I was going to do. I thought about getting hold of my brother-in-law, Bob, and telling him what I'd heard but my mind was reeling in denial that Janis was unfaithful to me and Sean may not be my son. I felt sick but my anger was beginning to grow as I dwelled on her liaison with some guy named Randy. What the hell am I going to tell Bob about Karla and Mark? I needed some legal advice right away to determine what my options were in the event this turned into a divorce. The girls were leaving on their 'outing' in four days. I had a lot of ground to cover before then.
Chapter 2 Plans Are Made
Using my cell phone I called my friend, golfing partner, high school buddy and personal lawyer, Jerry Mathews, and asked his secretary Helen if I could get in to see him as soon as possible. Helen knew me and could tell from my voice that something was wrong and asked if I could be in his office in fifteen minutes/ I responded positively and drove the few blocks quickly.
When I entered Jerry's office helen took one look at me and exclaimed, "Jim, you look like hell."
"I've just received some bad news Helen and I think I'm coming down with something. Is he available now?"
"Yes, go right in." she told me wringing her hands in distress as she looked at me.
I rushed passed her and knocking once entered Jerry's inner sanctum.
Jerry stood up as I entered and waved me to a chair in front of his desk.
"Good god Jim! What's up? You look terrible."
"Jerry, I've just been hit with a double whammy. One I think I'll recover from and the other is doubtful at this time."
"Tell me about it." he said as he sat down.
"First, I should warn you I think I'm coming down with something and second I think I have a problem with Janis. I need some advice.'
"OK, the first shouldn't be a problem as I've had a flu shot and any problem concerning Janis is inconceivable. I've known you both since you were married and I never saw a more perfect couple. Tell me about it anyway."
