My Husband's Mistress Didn't Know Whose Restaurant It Was
957 Views · Ongoing · Ruby
When I took my late brother's four kids to dinner at the restaurant my grandmother left me, and seven-year-old Leo asked for a refill of the bottomless garlic knots, I didn't expect the new manager to tell him to go eat out of a dumpster.
"I'm the owner's wife," she sneered, and called her husband to come deal with us.
The contact photo on her screen was Adrian. I knew, because I took it on our honeymoon.
Around her neck hung my mother's wedding ring—the one Mom took off after thirty-five years and fastened around my husband's neck the night the doctors said he'd never wake up.
One call to my father would have ended it. I didn't make it. I pulled the kids close and waited for my husband to walk through that door.
She thought he was coming to save her.
She had no idea who was coming after him.
