He Cheated 42 Times, So I Hired A Young Boyfriend

Synopsis

Xavier Chandler and I had been the most envied couple in Bayview, growing up together from high school sweethearts to walking down the aisle. But by the third year of our marriage, he started seeing other women on the side. I cried, I fought, and even threatened suicide like some desperate housewife. He, however, held his new fling close, using that voice I once adored to lecture me patiently. He said, "Claire, men always crave something new. Who in our social circle doesn't have a side piece? "It's just physical fun. My heart will always belong to you, Mrs. Chandler." That was until the night he threw an extravagant birthday bash for his forty-second fling. I showed up with my eighteen-year-old boyfriend. The smile on Xavier's face froze instantly. He shoved aside the flirtatious girl next to him and stormed over to me, his anger boiling over. He snapped, "Claire, who is this guy? What's your relationship with him?" Facing his wild gaze, I tightened my grip on the young man's arm and smiled brightly. I scoffed, "Why get so upset, Mr. Chandler? He's just a young guy for company. "Isn't that how everyone in our circle plays the game?"
