When I found out that my husband was cheating on me with our adopted mother, Jessica, my whole world fell apart. But among the wreckage, I found a way to happiness I didn’t expect.
Sean and I had been married for five years but were having trouble getting pregnant. I got my life back through adoption. I was thrilled when Jessica picked us. But Sean’s doubts and Jessica’s withdrawn behaviour were red flags.
The door camera video showed that Sean had lied. The kiss from Jessica broke my trust. When our marriage ended, I was shocked.
After months, Sean called and said he knew Jessica was lying. The child wasn’t his. Paternity tests proved what we already knew.
I met Ethan, a lab tech, at the hospital. His story was a lot like mine: Jessica had left him with a new baby girl. We found out the truth together.
Through coffee, Ethan and I became close, talking about our hurt and our recovery. As our friendship grew, I became Lila’s stepmother. Ethan finished medical school and we had our own little girl.
I found love and a reason to live in the dark. I was motivated by Ethan’s drive, and we rebuilt our lives together. The camera that caught treason is now catching our happiness.
