While My Friend Was on a Trip, I Discovered Her Husband Was Cheating and Plotting to Steal Her House, but She Turned on Me Instead — Story of the Day
When my best friend Jessica left for a work trip, she asked me to watch her house. I agreed, unaware I’d uncover her husband Mark’s affair and his scheme to steal her home. But when I told her, she accused me of lying.
Jessica and I had been inseparable since college, sharing everything—except my distrust of Mark. His cold eyes and fake warmth always unsettled me. One day, she asked me to house-sit while she was in New York for five days, as Mark refused to care for the house or her cat, Taco. I agreed, despite my reservations.
At her house, I heard laughter—Mark with another woman, plotting to take Jessica’s house through forged papers. I called Jessica, but she didn’t believe me, hurt by my supposed jealousy. Desperate, I faked a hospital call to bring her back. She saw the truth: Mark’s betrayal. Furious, she kicked him out, and we began rebuilding her life together.
