I knew that Ruth had been under a lot of pressure these days, so I wanted to cut her some slack, which was part of my plan.

"Honey, there will be a book signing in Seatown in two days. I'll be out of town and won't be able to bring you lunch during those two days. Take good care of yourself okay?"

I watched her reaction as I broke the news.

"Really?"

Ruth's reaction was even greater than I expected.

Realizing she overreacted, she quickly adjusted her expression.

"I mean, it's fine. It's great you're out working. I'm tired of homemade food, good to have a change. Don't worry, honey. I will take good care of myself."

The joy on Ruth's face could hardly be concealed.

It'd will be easier for you see another man with me gone right?

What she didn't know was that I had installed secret cameras in every room in the house.

After all, Ruth was very likely to bring someone home.

To be safe, I also asked someone to wait at a hotel that Ruth often went to, and he would send me a message immediately if he saw her.

Of course I was going nowhere. I just went to Josh's house for a few days.

As I expected, Ruth brought Alex back home the night I left.

I clenched my hand around my cup.

Even though I had guessed it, it was off-putting to witness my beloved wife cheating on me with my own eyes.

Ruth wrapped her whole body around Alex. How could he resist her, with her beautiful body acquired through years of dance practice?

"Ruth, is your husband really not home?"

Alex couldn't help but put his arms around her slender waist, asking nervously.

"Don't worry, he won't be here for the next few days. Let's just have some fun."

Ruth kissed him on the lips.

I tossed the cup, the veins on my hands bulging with anger.

Ruth, who was pregnant, was so impatient.

"I'm carrying your child though, so we can't go too far."

"Okay, let me please you then. But I want the leading role in the new performance."

The two of them embraced and whispered to each other, a disgusting sight.

"It's yours, don't worry."

Ruth happily agreed.

What came next made me even sicker.

My wife whom I had loved for so many years, was cheating on me in our own house.

I suppressed my humiliation and anger, saved the surveillance footage, and started planning to expose the pair of scums.
