I Knew About His Affair for 13 Years

Synopsis

The first year, he had someone on the side, I found out. Me? I ate well, drank well, played around, and smiled through every day. Thirteen years later, he lay in a hospital bed, hands trembling as he transferred six school-district apartments and two cars to his illegitimate son. Weakly, he said to me, "Accept this." I smiled, leaned down, and whispered in his ear, "Honey, I have a secret too. I've been hiding it from you for thirteen years." The smile on his face froze instantly.
