I, Elena Jazlyn. I have been married to my husband, Anthony Paolo, for ten years. For the first five years everything was fine. Anthony and I were in harmony. But unfortunately, over the next five years, Anthony's attitude slowly changed. He became cold and distant. The change in Anthony's attitude came after my cousin Jaden Zwetta arrived in our household. At first, I didn't suspect anything about their relationship. Until one night I caught them having sex. The exchange of sweat on the bed made my whole body shake.
"Oh, damn it!" The moaning voice came from the guest room. At that time, I, who couldn't sleep, decided to leave the room at 3 a.m. At first, I didn't think I would stop by the guest room where Jaden had lived for the past five years. But the whimpering forced me to stop.
I approached the door and started to knock. But I decided against it when I heard a man's whimpering voice inside. My eyes widened completely. The voice was very familiar to my ears. Besides, in a house this big, there was no one else but me, my husband and Jaden.
"Could it be Anthony?" I muttered quietly.
At the time, I was still trying to think positively. It was possible that Jaden had secretly let another man into her room without my knowledge. Besides, Jaden had been a widow for five years, and I could understand her desire.
"Oh, fuck! I love fucking you, Jaden!"
And when I heard the man's voice again, I growled angrily. It was definitely Anthony, my husband. I knew his voice very well. I quickly opened the door to the room that Jaden had left unlocked. Or maybe she had left it unlocked on purpose so that I would catch her cheating right away? I didn't know. I didn't have time to find the answer, because my body suddenly froze when I saw the disgusting incident in front of my eyes.
My tears just fell. The man I had loved for ten years was having sex with my own cousin. They didn't even notice my presence for a while. Finally, I forced myself to clear my throat to make Anthony aware of my presence.
And sure enough, he immediately turned to me with a surprised expression on his face. I glanced at Jaden, who had a mischievous grin on the corner of her lips.
"Elena, this is... not what you think."
I looked at Anthony sharply. I even ignored my tears that kept falling. The pain I was feeling right now made me really angry and disappointed. The man I trusted so much turned out to be a traitor.
"Honey, it's just a misunderstanding."
I smiled slightly at his words. A misunderstanding, he said? Huh! How annoying.
"Honey, please listen to my explanation."
I still remained silent, waiting for my husband's pleading words. There wasn't even the slightest sign of remorse in his eyes. It was only his tone that was pleading for me to melt back into him.
"I just help Jaden release her desires. She's lived alone for a long time and has no companion. So don't think anything of it."
I chuckled softly. I wanted to laugh, but I wasn't in a good mood. Help her? His reasoning didn't make any sense. "Anthony, your argument is illogical. If you wanted to help, you should have found another man for her. You're not the one helping her to fulfill her desires," I said later.
I saw Anthony approaching. He tried to touch me, but I quickly pushed his hand away. He was surprised by my move.
"Never touch me with your filthy hands. I don't want to be touched by a traitor like you," I said in a low but firm tone. "I'm beginning to understand now. This is your reason why you never spend time in the room with me every night. Every night you stayed late at work and left me alone in my room. It turns out your overtime was having sex with a whore like her."
"Watch your language, Elena!"
I was shocked for a moment. He was yelling at me? Ah, I was right. Every night they spent time together while I was left alone in my room. Every night they shared their sweat, while I was left alone in my room like a fool.
What an incredible game they play. Perhaps this is why Jaden was divorced from her ex-husband five years ago. She had only been married a year.
"You even had the nerve to yell at me in defense of that bitch," I grinned.
"No, I didn't. It's not like that, Elena. She's your cousin. Don't just say that. You don't know the truth. All this time she's been tormented by not having a mate. And she needs someone to fulfill her desires. I just helped her tonight. Never before."
Really? Of course I didn't believe Anthony's words. Instead, I looked directly at Jaden and asked, "Is it true that you make love here every night?"
"Yes, your guess is correct." Jaden replied quickly without showing the slightest sign of fear.
I laughed quietly while clapping my hands. Then I gave Anthony a sharp, piercing look. "No matter how good you are at hiding carrion, one day it will smell. It's the same with what you've done, Anthony. You have stained our marriage with infidelity."
"Yes, I had an affair with Jaden!" he said loudly. "So what do you want, huh?! We've been together for five years. And you want to know what caused it? It's you! You're just a barren woman. You can't even satisfy me in bed. You're no good, Elena. So it's better to just accept the truth and not say much."
I slapped Anthony hard. How dare he talk like that. Meanwhile, the fertility test results from the doctor showed that I was fine. Everything is normal. The doctor even said that I could get pregnant. Only Anthony would never take a fertility test.
"You should be the one to find out for yourself, Anthony! I took a fertility test and the results are normal. I can get pregnant. You were the one who wouldn't take the test. I assumed you were sterile! But I never told you that! I've always respected you and this is your reward for me, huh?"
I screamed like crazy in the room. Then I took a quick look at Jaden. Then I looked back at Anthony and said, "Get out of my house!"
