Flew Overseas to Surprise My Husband—Big Surprise! Caught His Mistress There Chapter 01

Pregnant with nry husband’s baby-flew to his city to surprise him for our anniversary.

His call hits me at the door: “Babe! Happy five years! Got a surprise for you-afrives tomorrow.”

I cover the camera, grinning. “I’ve got a surprise for you too. Five minutes.”

Hang up.

This blonde in the elevator smiles at me. “Wait-you’re Nathan’s wife? He talks about you constantly.”

My heart melts.

Elevator opens. His office-right there.

Hand on the door.

She grabs me, smile like ice.

“I’m Chloe. Nathan’s girlfriend.”

“This is our time. Stay here. I’ll get you when we’re done.”

Door slams shut.

I’m frozen. Brain screaming.

Chairs scraping. Then-those sounds.

“Babe, I’m still bruised from last time. Go easy on me?”

No. I didn’t hear that.

His voice-unmistakable.

“What’s wrong? You’re being so quiet. Come on, let me hear that pretty voice.”

Every nerve in my body dies.

Nathan. My Nathan. The boy who begged me to marry him. My whole goddamn life.

Screwing her. Right there.

Last night we FaceTimed about baby names.

I should burst in there. Rip his head off.

My hand’s on the handle.

I bolt.

Elevator. Two girls giggling.

“Oh my god, did you see Nathan’s girlfriend? She’s stunning. Five years and they’re still all over each other.”

“Right? He literally moved the company here so she could finish school. Goals.”

Can’t breathe. Ribs cracking.

Five years. Same as our marriage.

His “expansion” wasn’t for our future.

It was for her.

Voice shaking. “Wait-isn’t Nathan married though?”

They look at me like I’m insane.

“Married? Nathan? Girl, if that man had a wife, he’d tattoo her name on his forehead.”

“He parades that girlfriend around like a trophy. Wedding’s in a week. Whole office is invited.”

Something inside me shatters.

No one knows I exist. Our marriage-erased.

Except her. She knows.

Did he tell her while they were in bed? Over coffee?

Doesn’t matter. I’m the joke either way.

Stomach flips. I crash outside, puking into the bushes.

Tears choking me. Won’t stop heaving.

I look up. His office window. Two shadows pressed together.

Don’t know how long I stand there. Sun beating down. Sweat everywhere.

His call lights up my phone.

New shirt. Buttoned tight. Hair perfect. Face-nothing. Like he wasn’t just inside her ten minutes ago.

He squints. “Babe, is that… wait, are you outside my building?”

I smile so wide my face hurts.

“Yeah. Surprise.”
