Unexpected Encounter: Unveiling the Mystery Behind My Husband’s Lunch Date

I Spotted My Husband at Lunch Instead of His Business Trip & Decided to Find Out Who He’s Waiting For

Jane is eager to catch up with her coworkers over lunch. She can relax and have fun because her spouse is gone on a work vacation. She gets far more than she intended to order when she goes to the restaurant, though.

To be honest, all I wanted was my garlic bread and grilled calamari. And unwind while drinking wine and catching up with my coworkers about our personal life. However, it turned out that I had far more for lunch than I had ordered.

It began rather casually. I was walking into our usual lunch place with my colleagues, a group of married people prepared to vent about our partners and the problems we were handling. I was happily oblivious to the maelstrom that awaited me.

After we took our seats at the designated table, I took a quick glance around. Are solicitors generally like that? Check to see whether any of their past or current clients are present.

Regardless, I noticed him as I looked up. Tom, my spouse, was only supposed to arrive later that evening after a supposed work trip. However, he was sitting there with a plate of nachos and a cup of coffee in front of him. He had a cryptic smile on his face as he typed on his phone.

If not me, then who in the world was this man speaking to? Furthermore, why was that smile there? About five years ago, on our anniversary, he surprised me with a weekend away. That was the last time I saw that smile.

Instantly, my mind—always the exaggerated, overanalyzing kind—turned into a detective. I sat there, watching my coworkers place their drink orders, and daydreamed about catching Tom red-handed with some other lady who would definitely walk in to greet him.

I spent some time observing Tom. The whole time, he was unaware. He was obviously fixated on the phone, as I could see. I ignored the noise from my coworkers and took a drink of the wine that the waiter had brought me. A few minutes later, Tom received an envelope from an unidentified man who had entered the restaurant.

What on earth is this covert meeting? I pondered in my mind. Is this man breaking any laws?

At that point, I stood up and shifted to the opposite side of the table so I could see more clearly whatever Tom was pulling out of the envelope. I selected the menu, making every effort to protect my eyes while maintaining my shield.

It had pictures of myself. Even if my vision wasn’t great, I could definitely see my green coat and hair. I sneakily snapped a photo of Tom and his friend in the hopes of obtaining the proof I might require later.

Alright, so that was only the start of the tale. The man who went unidentified turned out to be a private investigator who was involved in Tom’s complex scheme to frame me as a cheater by trapping me with a colleague.

Why?

Because our prenuptial agreement contained a stipulation that said that if any of us cheated on the other during the marriage, the marriage would instantly terminate and they would receive nothing. Tom intended for this to be a well-planned scheme that would lead to my capture and his ultimate gain.

The line of humour? Tom wanted everything from the divorce to start his new life with her, and he was already cheating on me.

I was beyond angry, feeling betrayed. However, I preferred to let him finish his little game. It was about a week after that awful lunch that Tom filed for divorce. I’m sure he felt victorious, believing he had all the proof he had to receive the substantial payment.

However, he was unaware that the courtroom would soon serve as a platform for a confrontation between us both.

While delivering his well thought-out story, he continuously ran his hands through his hair. He considered it a cute habit, but it was a bothersome one. I waited for his performance to end while I sat calmly.

It was my turn then.

With confidence, I offered all of my counter-evidence. I had every right to be audacious in the courtroom since it was my playground.

Tom’s scheme had failed miserably, and I was aware that Karma had taken control.

I realised I was alone myself and that I had obtained exactly what I wanted as I left the courthouse with my head held high. The finest part of it all, though, was how Tom’s web of falsehoods had fallen apart on its own.
Sure, I was on my own now. However, I came out on the other side smarter, stronger, and free from a poisonous marriage that felt like it was based on falsehoods.
