Eight Months Pregnant, I Offered My Cheating Husband the House, Cars and Savings—Then His 6-Year-Old Daughter Revealed What He and His Mistress Had Hidden

PART 1 — ROOM 302

The courtroom had become so quiet that I could hear the fluorescent lights buzzing above us.

I stood beside my attorney with one hand resting over my eight-month-pregnant stomach.

Across the aisle sat my husband, Gabriel Albright.

His wedding ring was already gone.

Beside him sat Bianca Shepherd.

The woman he had been seeing behind my back.

She wore a dark burgundy dress, immaculate makeup, and an expression that told me she believed the difficult part was over.

I suppose I had helped create that impression.

Judge Rosalind Barrett looked down at the settlement proposal in front of her.

“Mrs.

Albright, this document indicates that you intend to waive any claim to the marital residence, the joint savings account, both vehicles, and any marital interest you may have in your husband’s business.”

My attorney, Samantha Croft, shifted beside me.

She had spent almost two weeks trying to convince me not to sign it.

I had stopped listening.

The affair had exhausted me.

The pregnancy had exhausted me.

The arguments had exhausted me.

Gabriel telling friends I had become emotional and unstable had exhausted me.
