She Took My Husband, I Took Everything Else

Synopsis

My cousin, Lexi Huffman, had hijacked my phone. She uploaded a cozy selfie of her and my husband, Tyler Foster, right into the family WhatsApp group. She even added a nasty caption: [Tyler says I'm the one who really knows how to be a woman.] When I woke up and saw that disaster on my screen, my mind just went blank. The space beside me in bed was cold and empty. I stormed into the guest bedroom, only to find Tyler curled up in bed with Lexi. She had been crashing at our place for a while. With tears welling up in her eyes, Lexi pleaded, "Audrey, I was wasted last night. I sent that by mistake. "Tyler saw I was in bad shape and came in to take care of me. That's literally the only reason we're in the same room." Just then, my phone started buzzing with a call from my mom. She didn't even say hello. "Delete those messages from the chat right now. You can't even keep a leash on your own man, and now you have to drag the whole family down and humiliate us?" In the background, I could hear my dad roaring at me. "How the hell did I raise such a good-for-nothing?" I glanced over at Tyler, who was wearing earbuds and playing dumb. A smug, hidden smile played on his lips. In that instant, the boiling rage inside me suddenly went ice cold. I said, "Drop the act. "You two make me sick."
