It began with small things—Trevor questioning if I really needed the “good” laundry detergent. I thought it was stress, maybe guilt over the lost work bonuses. We weren’t rich, but we were content—or so I believed. That was the first crack in the foundation I thought was solid.

Then came the night he told me to walk to work to “save gas.” I brushed it off, thinking it would pass. But it didn’t. His phone started lighting up with messages from someone called “C.” One of them stopped me cold: “Send the transfer by Friday, or your wife finds out everything.”

I went through his phone and uncovered everything—his vasectomy, the blackmail, the truth he never had the courage to tell me. Every dream we had about children had been built on lies. That night, I staged my revenge: a fake pregnancy test and a quiet dinner. One word—“pregnant”—and Trevor unraveled in panic and confession.

I showed him the test was fake, thanked him for finally telling the truth, and kicked him out the next morning. I divorced him, spoke to his ex—who had the same story of betrayal—and moved across the country for a fresh start. Now, I’m pregnant through a fertility clinic, no lies attached. Trevor called once. I sent him my ultrasound photo with a message: “Don’t bother coming. You’re already too far behind.”
