Tricky Man Suspected His Wife Of Cheating — Story of the Day

Jill's world unravels after she receives flowers from a secret admirer and her jealous husband, Bernard, accuses her of cheating. When her secret admirer appears on her doorstep, his sinister motives become clear, ensnaring Jill in a web of betrayal and deceit.

Jill's morning started with a surprise—a delivery man at her doorstep, handing her a fragrant bouquet. The rich aroma of roses and lilies filled the air as she carried them into her sprawling luxury home. The moment she set the bouquet on the hall table, Bernard, Jill's husband, emerged from the shadows of the hallway, his eyes narrowing at the sight.

"Who sent you flowers?" he asked, his voice carrying an edge that immediately put Jill on guard.

"I... I don't know. They just arrived," Jill replied, her confusion genuine as she searched the bouquet for a clue. "Maybe the florist got the wrong address."

Bernard, however, didn't wait for her to find an answer. With a swift movement, he plucked the note from the flowers and read it aloud.

"'To my lovely Jill, who always makes my heart beat faster.' My God!" He ground the words out through clenched teeth. "So, I'm not the only man in your life? Who is he? Your lover must be a moron to send flowers to our home."

Jill's heart sank as she watched Bernard's face darken with anger. His jaw clenched tight and rage sparked in his eyes as he glared down at her.

"Don't lie to me, Jill! It must be some hot, young stud with dirt for brains, right? Someone after your money?" Bernard's voice rose, his insecurity and jealousy stripping away any pretense of trust or understanding between them.

"That's ridiculous! Just because I have money doesn't mean I…" Jill's protest was cut short as Bernard, in a fit of rage, snatched the bouquet and bashed it against the staircase. Petals scattered like tears, raining through the air as he repeated the action several times, a vivid testament to the violence of his jealousy.

"I'm leaving!" He declared, each word a hammer to Jill's heart.

Jill felt a lump form in her throat, her mind racing to understand how the man she loved could so quickly turn into a rage-filled stranger. The scent of the crushed flowers lingered in the air, a bitter reminder of the accusations thrown at her. She found her voice, fragile but persistent, cutting through the silence that had descended upon the room.

"Bernard, wait! Where are you going?" she called out, her words trailing after him as he marched towards the entrance, his overnight bag in hand.

Bernard paused but didn't turn around. "Not everyone has an inheritance, Jill. Some of us have to work for a living," he retorted, his words laced with a bitterness that went beyond the immediate argument. "I told you yesterday about this business trip, but as usual, you weren't listening. You never listen to anything I say."

Jill's confusion deepened. "You didn't tell me," she insisted, her voice stronger now, though it wavered with the emotional turmoil that gripped her. "Bernard, please, you have to believe me. I'm not..."

But Bernard was already moving again, his steps heavy against the marble floor. He halted at the threshold, his back still to her, as if he couldn't bear to face the woman he was convinced had betrayed him.

"Lester will come by tonight to pick up that green folder," he said, nodding towards a table where a solitary folder lay, its contents unknown to Jill. "Give it to him, if you're not too busy partying with your studs."

"Bernard, I swear to you, I'm not cheating. I don't know where those flowers came from," she pleaded, desperation edging into her voice as she sought to bridge the chasm of mistrust that had opened between them.

But Bernard didn't respond. The door slammed shut behind him, sealing his departure with a finality that left Jill reeling.

Jill paced back and forth in her living room, phone pressed tightly to her ear. "But why can't you tell me who sent the flowers?" she pressed, her frustration clear in her tone. "I have a right to know."

The florist on the other end remained apologetic yet firm, citing privacy policies that Jill found absurd under the circumstances. Just then, the doorbell chimed, cutting through the tension like a knife. Jill sighed.

"Fine. Thank you anyway," she said curtly, ending the call. She strode to the door, smoothing her hair down in a reflexive gesture of composure.

Upon opening the door, Jill was met with an unexpected sight. Lester stood before her, drenched from the rain, and holding yet another bouquet. His usual confident demeanor seemed softened by the downpour, his smile tentative as he offered the flowers to her.

"These are for you," he said.

Jill took a step back, surprised. "Uh… thank you, Lester, but why are you giving me flowers?"

"Because you deserve them." He chuckled nervously, shaking off some of the rain. "I, uh, sent you a bouquet this morning, too. Did you get them?"

Lester's smile widened, seemingly oblivious to the tension he had introduced. "Yeah, I hope you liked them. Can I come in? It's pouring out here and I, uh, I have something I'd like to tell you."

Jill hesitated, caught between courtesy and the need to understand Lester's sudden interest in her. Finally, she stepped aside, allowing him entry.

"Of course, come in. You're soaking wet. I'll make us some coffee," she said.

As Lester made his way inside, leaving a trail of rainwater, Jill closed the door behind him. Her mind raced as she stared at the fresh bunch of flowers in her hands. The gesture was out of character for Lester, Bernard's colleague and close friend.

Lester had never shown much interest in her before, romantic or otherwise, and she couldn't fathom why he was suddenly sending her flowers. There was also that note about 'making his heart beat faster.' Where was this all coming from?

Jill guided Lester to the kitchen. A few minutes later, he sat at the kitchen table, the towel Jill had fetched for him draped over his shoulders as he attempted to dry off from the rain. The warmth of the room and the steam rising from the mug of coffee Jill had just placed in front of him provided a stark contrast to the cold, wet world outside.

"Thank you, Jill. This is exactly what I needed." He offered her a grateful smile. "Could you fetch the folder Bernard left for me? That way we won't have to bring it up again and can discuss more… important things."

Jill returned his smile with a polite nod, the air between them charged with an unspoken tension.

"Sure, I'll grab it for you," she said. "It's in the hallway."

A twisted smile played over Lester's face as he stirred Jill's coffee, ensuring the powder was mixed in well. The white substance dissolved almost instantly.

The sound of Jill's footsteps alerted him to her return, causing him to fumble with the now-empty packet as he tried to stuff it back in his pocket. In his haste to hide the evidence, he didn't notice it slip past his pocket's opening, falling silently to the floor beside his chair.

Jill re-entered the kitchen, folder in hand, and resumed her seat.

"Here you go," she said, sliding the folder across the table to Lester. She picked up her coffee, took a sip, then paused. "This tastes a bit strange."

Lester's heart raced, but he managed to keep his expression neutral. "Maybe the coffee grounds were old?" he suggested.

"Possibly," Jill murmured, though she appeared unconvinced. She set her mug down, pushing it slightly away from her. Jill, feeling the weight of an awkward silence between them, decided to address the elephant in the room. "Lester, why are you suddenly sending me flowers?" she asked, her voice revealing a hint of unease.

Lester shifted in his seat, the warmth that once graced his features now replaced by a nervous apprehension. He took a deep breath as if gathering the courage to cross a threshold from which there was no return.

"Jill, I've thought a long time about telling you this," he began, his voice laced with a vulnerability that seemed to fill the room. "I can't keep my feelings inside any longer. I've been in love with you since the moment Bernard introduced us."

Jill recoiled slightly, the confession hitting her like a physical blow. A myriad of emotions flickered across her face—surprise, discomfort, and a hint of sadness.

"Lester, I... I'm married," she reminded him gently, yet firmly. "Married to Bernard… you know that."

Jill's heart ached at the raw honesty in Lester's eyes, but her resolve remained unshaken. She had no romantic interest in Lester, and his unwanted flowers had already caused problems in her marriage. She had to end this before any more harm came from it.

"Lester, you're a nice guy, really, but I love my husband," she said, her voice soft yet decisive. "Bernie and I have been together for a long time and I made a commitment to him before God, one that I would never dishonor. I'm sorry, but there's no possibility you and I could ever be together, Lester."

The disappointment in Lester's eyes was palpable, a mixture of resignation and heartbreak. He nodded slowly, accepting her words though they seemed to carve deeper into his despair.

"I understand," he murmured. "I just had to know, for my own peace of mind."

Jill, sensing the depth of his pain, reached across the table, placing her hand over his in a gesture of comfort. "I won't tell Bernard about this conversation," she assured him, her tone sincere. "Let's just... pretend this never happened. It's better that way."

Lester looked up, a flicker of gratitude passing through his eyes. "Thank you, Jill. I... I appreciate that more than you know."

The tension in the room seemed to thicken as the storm outside waned, its fury giving way to a deceptive calm. Jill stood up, the decision clear in her mind.

"I think it's time for you to leave, Lester. It sounds like the rain has stopped," she said, her voice steady despite the turmoil swirling inside her.

"Jill, is everything okay?" he asked, his tone masking the darker intentions behind his words.

She pressed a hand to her forehead, trying to steady herself. "I... I don't know. I feel incredibly sleepy all of a sudden," Jill murmured, her voice weak, struggling to piece together the cause of her sudden ailment.

With a swift step, Lester was at her side, his hand finding its way to her back, ostensibly to offer support.

"You should have an early night," he suggested, his voice smooth, betraying none of the malice that flickered in his eyes.

Jill attempted to focus on him, her vision blurring as she fought against the weight pressing down on her eyelids. She barely managed a nod before her strength gave out, her body going limp in his arms.

As she passed out, Lester caught her with ease, a wicked grin spreading across his face. He looked down at Jill, now unconscious and vulnerable, his plans for the evening taking a dark and sinister turn.

At that moment, the room felt colder, as if Lester's intentions had tainted the very air. The trust Jill had placed in him, the kindness she had shown by inviting him into her home, was now overshadowed by the deception and danger that lurked beneath his friendly facade.

Lester scooped Jill's supine body into his arms and carried her upstairs. A faint smile curled at the corners of his lips as he laid her on the bed she shared with Bernard. He adjusted her position with great care as he pulled back the covers from under her.

Jill, completely unconscious and unaware of the perilous situation she was in, did not move or make a sound as Lester eased her clothes off her body. He adjusted her position on the bed slightly then stood back and started undressing himself.

Early the next morning, the bedroom door flew open and Bernard stormed in, an unmistakable look of triumph on his face. In one hand, he clutched his phone, its camera pointed directly at the bed where Jill and Lester lay in a compromising position, both obviously naked under the sheets.

"Woo hoo, gotcha!" Bernard exclaimed, unable to contain his glee. "I knew you were cheating on me, and now I have proof."

Jill's eyes snapped open, confusion and fear racing through her mind as she tried to process the scene unfolding before her. Next to her, Lester stirred awake, his expression turning from confusion to panic as he realized their situation.

"It's not what it looks like, Bernard," Lester tried to explain, his voice desperate, but Bernard cut him off with a sarcastic retort.

"Oh, really? And how was my sweet little wifey, huh?" Bernard sneered, his voice dripping with contempt.

Jill, still trying to fight off the grogginess that clouded her senses, turned her bewildered gaze from Bernard to Lester and back again.

"Bernard, what are you doing here? Why is Lester... Why am I...?" Her voice trailed off as she struggled to piece together how she had ended up in this situation.

Jill's heart sank as the realization of what Bernard was accusing her of hit her full force. She glanced at Lester, seeking answers, but found none in his frightened expression.

"Lester, tell him this is a misunderstanding," Jill pleaded, her voice shaking. "I don't understand what happened, how we ended up here, but we couldn't have… I would never…"

But Lester was silent, the gravity of the situation rendering him speechless. Bernard continued to record, his phone moving between Jill's face and Lester's, capturing every moment of their distress and humiliation.

Jill felt a deep sense of betrayal, not just from the inexplicable presence of Lester in her bed and what it suggested, but also Bernard's baseless accusations and invasion of her privacy. She shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts and conjure some memory of the previous night, but all she could remember was the folder, coffee, and Lester's confession.

"What did you do to me?" Jill asked, her voice shaking as she stared at Lester in horror.

"Don't try to play innocent!" Bernard snarled. "It's clear to everyone what happened here."

Lester, his panic clear, scrambled to his feet, clutching what remained of his dignity along with his clothes. "Bernard, let me explain—" he began, only to be cut off by Bernard's thunderous voice.

"Shut your pie hole! Just get out of here," Bernard bellowed, pointing menacingly towards the door. "I'll deal with you later."

With no other choice, Lester made a hasty retreat, his departure as chaotic as the situation, partially dressed and his face a mask of regret and shame. Once Lester was gone, Bernard's attention turned back to Jill, his expression one of disgust mixed with vindication.

Jill, still struggling to comprehend the nightmare unfolding around her, managed to find her voice.

"Bernard, please listen to me. I don't understand what happened," she pleaded, her voice trembling. "Lester came over to pick up a folder, and we had coffee... then I felt incredibly sick, and now this. I don't remember anything after feeling sick."

Bernard's face twisted into a sneer. "You expect me to believe that? You better come up with a better story, Jill. No court is going to believe such a convenient tale," he snapped, his words laced with accusation and disbelief.

Jill's heart sank as she realized the depth of Bernard's conviction. She was innocent, yet trapped in a scenario so damning she couldn't see a way out. "Bernard, you have to believe me. I wouldn't—"

But Bernard was unmoved. "Save it. I suggest you get a good divorce lawyer because I'm filing the papers immediately," he declared, his voice cold and devoid of any affection that once existed between them. "I'll be coming by to get my stuff during the week."

With those final words, Bernard turned and left the room, leaving Jill alone, surrounded by the ruins of her life. The door slammed shut behind him, its sound echoing like the gavel of a judge, sealing her fate.

Jill stood in stunned silence, the reality of her situation crashing down around her. Her marriage, her reputation, her very life as she knew it, all threatened by a series of events she couldn't remember, much less understand. As the tears began to fall, she knew she faced an uphill battle not just to clear her name, but to reclaim her life from the wreckage of that night.

In the quiet aftermath of the storm that had upended her life, Jill found herself mechanically cleaning. She scrubbed herself from head to toe until her skin felt tender and raw, then she set about tidying the kitchen. As she moved to sweep under the table, a small, crumpled packet skittered across the floor, drawing her attention. She bent down, picking it up, her eyes scanning the label.

Before she could ponder further, the doorbell rang, slicing through the silence of the house. Jill set the packet on the counter, her steps hesitant as she approached the door, her mind still racing.

Pulling the door open, she was greeted by a florist delivery guy, a small bouquet of flowers in hand.

"Delivery for Mrs. Davis," he said, offering her the bouquet with a polite smile.

Jill hesitantly took the flowers, her mind a whirlwind of confusion and suspicion. "Are you sure it's for this address? I received flowers just yesterday," she questioned, her voice laced with uncertainty and an irrational fear sparked by the flowers in his hand.

"Yes, ma'am, absolutely certain," the delivery guy replied, then added, almost as an afterthought, "Mr. Davis paid for this delivery three days in advance."

The name hit Jill like a physical blow, her heart skipping a beat as anger and disbelief surged within her. These flowers weren't from Lester!

"Mr. Davis?" she repeated, her voice rising. "Can you... can you say that again, please?"

The delivery guy stiffened suddenly, the smile vanishing from his face as the realization he'd make a mistake washed over him like a cold wave.

"Oh man, I wasn't supposed to tell you that, was I? I'm so sorry, Mrs. Davis. I'm new at this job. Please, I'm begging you, don't tell my boss. I can't afford to lose this job," he pleaded, his eyes wide with fear.

Jill studied him for a moment, seeing the genuine panic in his eyes. "Calm down. It's okay," she reassured him. "Just out of curiosity, what's the biggest tip you've ever received?"

The question caught him off guard. "Uh, $20, I think," he stammered, unsure where this was leading.

"Yes, Mrs. Davis," he confirmed, his voice barely above a whisper.

"And did he also order the delivery I received yesterday?" Jill pressed on, her mind racing with the implications of his answers.

The delivery guy hesitated, then pulled out his phone. "Let me check for you," he said, scrolling through the orders. After a moment, he looked up, his expression apologetic. "Yes, he did. And... it seems like there was a cancellation for today's delivery while I was on my way here. I'm so sorry; I didn't mean to cause any trouble."

Jill listened, her mind piecing together Bernard's elaborate scheme with each new revelation. The delivery guy's mistakes had unwittingly provided her with valuable information that suggested her husband orchestrated all her recent troubles.

"Listen, you haven't caused me trouble. In fact, you've helped me more than you can imagine," Jill said, a determined glint in her eye.

The delivery guy, still perplexed but grateful for her kindness, nodded. Jill watched him go, the $100 tip a small price to pay for the truth he had unwittingly revealed. Bernard's actions were now coming to light, and with each piece of evidence, Jill felt a step closer to unraveling the web of lies that had ensnared her.

With determination set in her heart, she knew what she had to do next.

The morning sun cast a warm glow over the quaint exterior of Lester's house as Jill stood at his doorstep, turmoil swirling within her. When the door swung open, Lester's surprise was evident, but he quickly masked it with a courteous smile.

"Jill? This is unexpected. Please, come in," he said, stepping aside to allow her entry.

Lester nodded, his discomfort visible. "Of course," he replied, though his unease grew with each word.

Jill inhaled deeply, gathering her thoughts before speaking. "I've been thinking a lot about last night... and I don't think it was an accident. It felt more like... destiny," she said, her words deliberate, watching Lester's reaction closely.

Lester shifted uncomfortably, his eyes darting away from hers. "Jill, I—"

She moved closer, placing one hand over his. "Hear me out, Lester. Your confession, it sparked something in me. Feelings I never realized I had," Jill continued, her voice soft but laced with a hidden intent. "And now, since it looks like Bernard and I are over…"

Lester's discomfort escalated, his body tensing as if he wanted to withdraw from her touch. Yet, he remained silent, trapped in the web of her words.

"... I've changed my mind about us," Jill continued, her tone taking on a newfound resolve, "I've decided to give Bernard whatever he wants in the divorce. Afterward, we can run away together. Start fresh. What do you say?"

Lester looked at her, his expression a mix of shock and confusion. He was visibly unsettled, caught off guard by her proposal. His mouth opened and closed, but no words came out, his internal conflict playing out before her eyes.

Jill watched him carefully, noting every shift in his demeanor, every flicker of emotion across his face. Her statement had been a gamble, a play designed to elicit a reaction, to probe the depths of his involvement and intentions, and it was working.

Jill maintained her composure, though inside, she felt a mix of relief and anticipation. "Will you think about it?" she pressed gently, knowing full well the answer she hoped to hear. "You know where to find me if you change your mind."

Lester looked uncomfortable, his gaze shifting away from her. "I... I need a moment," he muttered.

"Of course," Jill replied, her voice steady. "Could you get me a glass of water, please?"

As Lester nodded and left the room, Jill's heart raced with the urgency of her plan. She watched him until he disappeared into the kitchen before swiftly reaching for his phone on the coffee table.

Her fingers flew over the screen, locating Bernard's number with practiced ease. She edited the contact details with a few quick taps, ensuring the changes would go unnoticed at a casual glance. Satisfied, she set the phone back exactly where she had found it and stood, ready to make her exit.

By the time Lester returned with a glass of water in hand, Jill was already gone. He paused in the doorway, the glass almost slipping from his grasp as he took in the empty room. A surge of frustration washed over him, and he set the glass down with more force than necessary.

"This is crazy," he muttered to himself, feeling the weight of the situation bearing down on him. "It wasn't supposed to play out like this!"

Picking up his phone, Lester's anger found a new focus. He dialed Bernard's number, his fingers moving with a purpose. As the call connected, his voice was sharp, edged with betrayal and confusion.

"Bernard, Jill just came by. We need to talk," he said, not waiting for a response before plunging into the details of her visit.

As Lester voiced his frustrations into the phone, Jill was already steps ahead, her strategy unfolding with each move she made. The game was changing, and she was determined to be the one to write its ending.

The conference room in Bernard's attorney's office was a study in modern austerity, its sleek, minimalist furniture offering a stark backdrop to the tension that crackled in the air. Bernard was already seated, his posture rigid, as his lawyer, a woman with a sharp gaze and an air of confidence, reviewed the documents before her.

When Jill entered, accompanied by a man whose calm demeanor suggested he was her legal representative, the atmosphere thickened with anticipation. They took their seats opposite Bernard and his lawyer, the table between them feeling like a battlefield on which the final skirmish of their marriage would be fought.

Without preamble, Bernard's lawyer began, "We've put together a set of documents outlining the division of property, as well as points concerning moral compensation." She pushed a folder across the table towards Jill. "We'd appreciate it if you could review these. Our aim is to keep this process as succinct as possible."

Jill glanced at the documents before locking eyes with the opposing lawyer. "I doubt the relevance of what you've drawn up," she said, her voice steady, betraying none of the storm raging inside her.

Jill took a deep breath, her gaze never wavering from Bernard's. "I think you'll find that my position differs greatly from what you expect," she said, her voice laced with a quiet confidence.

The tension in the room reached a crescendo as Jill, with deliberate calmness, took out her phone. Bernard and his lawyer watched, a flicker of unease crossing Bernard's features as Jill tapped on her screen. The room fell into a stunned silence as Jill pressed play, and Lester's voice filled the space, clear and damning:

As the recording played, Bernard attempted to maintain a facade of indifference, but the strain was evident in the tightness of his jaw and the slight narrowing of his eyes. His lawyer, meanwhile, turned sharply towards him, her expression one of dawning realization and alarm at the implications of Lester's words.

When the recording came to an end, the silence that followed was deafening. Jill looked directly at Bernard with vindication in her eyes.

"Oops, it looks like Lester mixed up our numbers," she said, her voice tinged with a bitter irony.

Bernard opened his mouth to respond, a desperate attempt to salvage the situation. "Jill, you've got it all wrong," he began, but Jill cut him off, her tone unwavering.

"No, Bernard. You've done a terrible thing. And most importantly, it's also illegal," she stated, her words echoing with a gravity that left no room for doubt or misinterpretation.

The room was charged with a new tension, one that shifted the balance of power decisively. Bernard's lawyer, her professionalism unshaken, nonetheless cast a reevaluating glance at her client, her mind no doubt racing through the legal ramifications of the recording.

"Do you realize how serious this is, Bernard?" Jill asked, her gaze locked on his, demanding accountability. "You drugged me without my knowledge and promised your friend payment to undress me and spend the night in bed with me. Who knows what else he might have done?"

Bernard, caught in the glaring light of his actions, began to interject, a note of desperation creeping into his voice. "Jill, it wasn't like that. I—"

His lawyer, quick to understand the gravity of the situation, cut him off sharply. "Bernard, don't say anything else," she advised, her tone leaving no room for argument, her eyes signaling the peril of his precarious position.

"Mr. Davis, I'd take your lawyer's advice if I were you," he said, his voice carrying the weight of experience and authority. He reached into his jacket, producing a badge. "I'm Detective Oliveira, and I'm investigating this case."

The revelation of Detective Oliveira's identity and role added an additional layer of gravity to the already tense room. Bernard, visibly shaken, glanced at his lawyer, seeking guidance in a situation that was quickly spiraling beyond his control.

Jill watched Bernard's reaction, the presence of the detective reinforcing her resolve. Her stance was not just about confronting Bernard but about seeking justice for the wrongs done against her.

Detective Oliveira's next words were delivered with a firm resolve, signaling the end of the conference room's pretense of a simple legal meeting.

"Mr. Davis, you'll be accompanying me to the police station immediately," he announced, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

In a moment of panic, Bernard's instinct for self-preservation overtook him. He leaped from his seat and rushed for the door at full speed.

But his efforts were futile. Detective Oliveira was upon him in seconds, his years of training clear as he efficiently restrained Bernard, the click of handcuffs echoing ominously in the room.

Bernard's desperation turned to indignation, his voice rising in a cacophony of protest. "It was all Lester! It's only his voice on the recording. You can't prove I was involved in any way!" he yelled, struggling against the steel grip of the law.

Jill, who had remained composed throughout the ordeal, finally spoke, her voice cutting through Bernard's protests with a clarity that silenced the room.

The statement hung in the air, a poignant reminder of all that had transpired and all that was lost. Bernard, now handcuffed and defeated, had no comeback. The reality of his situation was inescapable, his schemes laid bare for all to see.

Detective Oliveira escorted Bernard out of the room, a solemn procession that marked the transition from allegations and legal battles to the cold, hard reality of criminal proceedings. Jill and Bernard's lawyer remained, the weight of the moment settling around them like a heavy cloak.

As the door closed behind Oliveira and Bernard, Jill allowed herself a moment to breathe, to take in the enormity of what she had accomplished. She had faced down her accuser, uncovered his machinations, and stood firm in her quest for justice. It was a bittersweet victory, one that came at a great personal cost, but a victory nonetheless.

Bernard's actions had sought to break her, but in the end, they only revealed her strength and resolve. She cast one last glance at Bernard's lawyer as she swept from the room.

"You might want to be more picky about the clients you take on in the future," Jill said.

She didn't wait for a reply. As she marched toward the elevator, Jill considered finding herself one of those hot young studs Bernard had accused her of having an affair with. She could already picture the look on Bernard's face when she showed up to testify in his criminal case with his replacement on her arm.
