From His Wife To His Regret

Synopsis

That night, Andrew came home late, just like always. When he saw Emily sitting on the couch, he paused for a second. He said, "I had to work overtime, so I got home late." Overtime? More like working overtime in someone else's bed. Emily kept her voice calm as she replied, "Yeah, I know." Andrew thought her attitude was a bit off tonight, but he didn't dwell on it. Just like every night for the past six months, he headed straight for the bathroom to shower. Emily couldn't help but find it ridiculous: Did he really take her for a fool, thinking a quick shower would hide another woman's perfume as if she wouldn't know he was cheating? Just then, her phone buzzed with a new message. Emily tapped her phone and saw it was a video. In the video, a young woman with flawless makeup was straddling Andrew. She took the ring off his finger, gave it a quick look, then tossed it into a glass of champagne without a second thought. Andrew just gazed at her with that doting smile. He didn't even lift a finger to stop her, as if the ring he'd worn for seven years was just another pebble on the sidewalk. Then, with everyone egging them on, they began making out as if there was no tomorrow. The woman texted: [Andrew doesn't love you anymore. Do yourself a favor and get lost.] Those words stabbed straight into Emily's heart. Her lips curved into a sarcastic smile. But as she laughed, tears spilled down her cheeks, the agony clawing at her from the inside out. Eyes red and hands shaking, she punched in the number of her lawyer. She said, "Peter, I need you to draft the divorce agreement as soon as possible. "Split the assets however you see fit. I don't care about the money. I just want out, fast."
