<\/p>\nWhile Sutton is on a business trip, the last thing she expects to discover is that her husband is having an affair, resulting in a pregnancy. But after Jacob moves out, and the months go by, Sutton plans her revenge.<\/p>\n
It was a year ago when life as I knew it changed dramatically. I was on a business trip, trying to secure a deal that would help us get through our son\u2019s medical bills.<\/p>\n
My three-year-old, Danny, had been ill at the time, going in and out of the hospital, and every moment away from him felt like torture. I mean, when your child needed you, he needed you.<\/p>\n
But I never anticipated that the real torture was happening at home.<\/p>\n
When he arrived, the matron wouldn\u2019t tell him why he couldn\u2019t see his newborn or Jessie. Security had to escort him out as he yelled and pleaded, making a scene.<\/p>\n
Finally, something must have clicked because Jacob called me.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat have you done?\u201d he demanded.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI just made sure that you take responsibility for your actions,\u201d I replied coolly. \u201cYour second son doesn\u2019t need a dad like you. Neither does Danny. Today was the last time you\u2019d ever set foot in this house again.\u201d<\/p>\n
For days after, Jacob harassed me with calls and texts, begging for an explanation, for forgiveness, for anything really.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m living with my cousin because Jessie cut off all contact with me. My mother doesn\u2019t even want to talk to me, Sutton. She said that I ruined the lives of two innocent children and she\u2019ll never forgive me. She\u2019s embarrassed by me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut that\u2019s exactly what you did, Jacob,\u201d I said. \u201cYou did ruin two boys and their mothers, too.\u201d<\/p>\n
But do you know what was even better? As the months rolled by, I watched with satisfaction and a sense of melancholy as Jacob\u2019s life fell apart.<\/p>\n
His job suffered because he just wasn\u2019t settled at all. His social circle seemed to dwindle, and he seemed to be a shadow of his former self.<\/p>\n
I was doing well. But then an interaction with Danny made me question if I was too harsh.<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, why doesn\u2019t Dad come home anymore?\u201d Danny asked one night as I tucked him into bed.<\/p>\n
I knew this moment would come, and now that it was here, I didn\u2019t know what to say.<\/p>\n
I sighed, stroking his hair gently.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad had to go away for a while, sweetheart. But I\u2019m here.\u201d<\/p>\n
He looked up at me with those big, innocent eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you still love him?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
How do you explain the truth to a child, that the person they look up to has broken your family?<\/p>\n
\u201cI love you, Danny,\u201d I said, evading the question. \u201cAnd that\u2019s all that matters.\u201d<\/p>\n
But now, I feel horrible. Was my revenge too much?<\/p>\n
What would you have done?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
