My Husband Wanted A Divorce. “Get Out Now!” His Mistress Snapped. “And Take Your Garbage With You!”

The Calculated Move

As I walked away, I couldn’t help but smirk at the irony of their confidence, already plotting my next moves with a sense of assurance and my eventual vindication. Before starting to pack up my life, I made a call to organize a junk removal service to clear out what I no longer needed.

As I began to sort through my belongings, Gary came home. From my room, I could overhear a heated discussion between him and Steven, which quickly escalated into an argument.

Gary was confronting his father about the infidelity, suggesting he owed me an apology. Steven’s dismissive response silenced the exchange, and soon after, the house fell quiet.

Clearing the Slate

Curious, I peeked into the living room to find only Gary. He informed me that Steven and his companion had left for a trip—a revelation that sparked a mix of emotions but ultimately left me feeling liberated.

With Steven gone, the path was clear for me to enact my plan without interference. I shared my decision to divorce and move out with Gary, who didn’t hesitate to support the idea and prepare for the move.

When the junk removal team arrived, I instructed them to clear out the contents of three specific rooms, ensuring that even new items were included. I was determined to start afresh, leaving behind the old and making room for new beginnings.

A Fresh Chapter

However, I made a point to leave the living room untouched to avoid any potential backlash from Steven for disposing of assets without his consent. By evening, Gary and I were on our way to a new chapter, with our belongings temporarily stored by a moving company.

As we hadn’t yet settled on a new home, we checked into a nearby hotel, planning a short stay until we found something more permanent. A few days later, Steven’s call interrupted our breakfast.

He inquired, somewhat incredulously, about the missing furniture and appliances. I retorted sharply, implying it was his idea, which left him floundering for a response.

The Missing Computer

His hesitant admission and subsequent fumbling for words, when he realized the extent of what had been discarded, were satisfying. He was particularly concerned about a computer, which I had anticipated and deliberately misled him to believe everything was gone.

Feigning innocence, I played along, suggesting that all the essential household items were still intact, leaving him scrambling for the computer he was evidently desperate to find. This interaction, marked by Steven’s obvious desperation and my calculated responses, underscored the shift in our dynamics and the beginning of my strategic move forward.

The High-Stakes Transaction

When Steven discovered I planned to dispose of the computer I had bought for Gary, his desperation became evident. Playing into his urgency, I suggested selling it to him instead of simply giving it back.

The idea of buying his own gift back sparked Steven’s interest, but he was taken aback when I proposed an outrageous price of $31,000. His protests only fueled my resolve, and eventually, he agreed to the exorbitant sum—a twist that satisfied my craving for a more impactful revenge.

I took delight in informing Steven that the deal was set, but added a twist by telling him he’d have to wait for the computer, as it was with the movers, delaying his gratification. Despite his impatience, Steven had no choice but to comply.

Gary’s Independence

Once I had settled into a new home with Gary’s assistance, Steven followed through with the payment. Viewing this as an opportune moment, I encouraged Gary to use the money to establish his independence, setting him up in an apartment close to his college.

However, my plan didn’t end with the financial transaction. Before sending the computer to Steven, I removed the external disc, a move that would ensure my revenge reached its peak.

Exposing the Truth at the Office

I mailed the disc to Steven’s boss at his company, accompanied by a letter that would undoubtedly pique his interest. Upon receiving a call from Steven’s boss, I was invited to visit the company.

Upon my arrival, I announced myself at the reception, awaiting the next phase of my plan to unfold with a sense of anticipation and satisfaction at the unfolding events. This move was not just about revenge; it was about exposing truths, ensuring accountability, and starting anew with a clean slate.

Upon my arrival at Steven’s company, I was greeted by Mr. Dennis, the department head, who promptly led me to his office. Inside, a visibly uneasy Steven awaited, his surprise at seeing me evident as he stood up abruptly.

The Stolen Data

With a calm smile, I announced my intention for revenge, which visibly unsettled him further. Mr. Dennis, looking to address the matter at hand, placed the external disc I had sent on his desk and initiated a discussion about its contents.

It contained client data from the company, prohibited from being removed from the office. Steven’s attempts at excuses only deepened his predicament, his discomfort growing under Mr. Dennis’s scrutinizing gaze.

Reflecting on the events leading to this moment, I remembered how Steven had been behaving suspiciously before our divorce. One day, I found him using Gary’s computer for reasons unknown, given he had his own.

Cornered by the Truth

Later, my curiosity led me to discover unfamiliar files on the external disc attached to the computer—a database that suggested Steven had taken company data home, using the computer as a cover. This realization now played out in Mr. Dennis’s office as Steven, cornered by his actions, finally admitted to his wrongdoing.

Mr. Dennis, outraged, informed Steven of the severity of his actions, categorizing them as potential theft or a violation of legal statutes regarding unfair competition. The mention of pressing charges was the final blow, causing Steven to break down and plead for forgiveness.

The unfolding scene was a stark contrast to the confident demeanor Steven once held, now replaced by desperation and regret. This encounter was not just about seeking personal vindication, but also about bringing to light actions that compromised professional integrity and legality.

Susan’s Entrance

As the situation in Mr. Dennis’s office escalated, Steven’s breakdown became a stark testament to the consequences of his actions. Internally, I reveled in the justice being served for his betrayal and misconduct.

My thoughts of retribution were momentarily interrupted by a knock on the door and the familiar voice of Susan, announcing her entrance. Her surprise and subsequent outburst upon seeing me added another layer of complexity to the unfolding drama.

Susan’s attempt to dismiss me was quickly stifled by her realization of Mr. Dennis’s disapproving gaze. The tension in the room escalated as Mr. Dennis directed his inquiry towards Susan, specifically about her plans to start a business in the same industry as their company and her role in managing customer data.

A Pitiful Scheme Revealed

It became clear to me that Susan and Steven had conspired to misuse client data to benefit Susan’s nascent business, with Steven planning to join her later. This revelation stripped away any lingering interest I had in their downfall.

Their scheme, predicated on exploiting the hard work of others, seemed pitifully shortsighted. Mr. Dennis, diligent in his responsibilities, revealed that an investigation had uncovered a potential data leak.

This development suggested that Susan’s actions, possibly in collaboration with Steven, were under scrutiny for compromising client data integrity. The gravity of the situation was undeniable, with both Steven and Susan facing serious allegations.

Legal Fallout and Finger-Pointing

Their short-sighted ambition, risking legal and professional fallout for immediate gain, painted a clear picture of desperation and moral bankruptcy. The unfolding events in Mr. Dennis’s office underscored a narrative of accountability, revealing the far-reaching implications of unethical conduct in the professional realm.

In the thick of their argument, Susan tried deflecting blame onto Steven, who wasn’t having any of it and fired back with accusations of his own. It was a classic case of pointing fingers, each trying to outdo the other in denying responsibility.

Amid their heated exchange, I revealed a twist in the tale. I presented evidence of Susan’s infidelity captured in a photograph of her with another man, which I had laid out on the table.

The Final Revelation

This bombshell left Steven dumbfounded and Susan scrambling for an explanation. Their squabble quickly devolved into a cacophony of excuses and denials, each pettier than the last.

Watching them, I couldn’t help but remark on the irony of their situation, especially given Steven’s previous disdainful comments about age. The revelation seemed to hit Steven hard, silencing him momentarily as he pondered his own words.

Mr. Dennis, witnessing enough of their drama, stepped in to underscore the seriousness of their actions, reminding them that their personal vendettas had crossed into criminal territory. His firm stance left Susan speechless and marked the beginning of real consequences for their actions.

Justice in Action

The company wasted no time in taking legal action against both Steven and Susan for theft among other charges, further complicating their situation with a civil lawsuit for damages. Susan’s aspirations for her business and her personal life both took a nosedive as she faced the repercussions of her actions.

As they confronted the legal system, their defenses seemed weak against the solid evidence of their misconduct. The trial loomed large, promising to be a display of justice in action, with both facing potential financial ruin as a result.

Through this turmoil, I found peace and a sense of liberation, focusing on my design work and the stability it offered. Gary’s personal growth and the potential for future family joys added a layer of happiness to my life amid the chaos they created.

New Beginnings

I reveled in the quiet life I had carved out for myself. It is a life filled with work satisfaction and the promise of new beginnings.
