When Sleep Talking Exposed My Husband's AffairChapter 1

“My good baby boy. Daddy will buy you and Mommy a new house.”

It was three in the morning when those words slipped from my husband’s lips. We always used protection. Then whose baby was he dreaming about? I shot awake, my heart pounding.

I shook him hard. “What did you just say?”

He stirred, eyes still shut and muttered, “Just a nightmare. A client was hounding me for money.”

Then he rolled over, drifting back into sleep.

I didn’t push. Instead, I reached for my phone in the dark and quietly opened his banking app. Dated three months ago—there was a wire transfer of $50,000, labeled as down payment. The recipient was Vanessa O’Hara.

I searched her name on Google and found her social media. The very first thing on her feed was an ultrasound photo.

[Our little angel is three months now. Daddy says once you’re born, we’ll move into a big house.]

The timestamp was the day after Brian transferred the money. My chest clenched, but I snapped a screenshot and sent it straight to my father.

[Dad, the perfect son-in-law you picked not only cheated, he’s knocked up some woman. I’m going to make sure he leaves with nothing.]
