My name is Peter Travis, and I am a freelancer.
I discovered my wife was having an affair for the first time three years ago on Christmas.
I saw a message on her phone by accident, and the sender had called her "baby". Then, my wife told me she had something to do and would have to leave. I followed her discreetly and witnessed her entering a hotel with another man.
Unlike other cuckolds who would make a big fuss, I found the situation extremely amusing.
When she returned home, I still actively flirted with her, and we got intimate. I could feel her resisting me, but I particularly enjoyed such a feeling.
I was quite a perverted man, but I loved the feeling of her not knowing that I had caught her.
My wife and I had been married for eight years. We had a son and a daughter. It was a wonderful thing that others envied me for.
Yet, such a blissful, harmonious family was about to fall apart due to my wife's unfaithful behavior.
After discovering my wife's affair, I did a paternity test without her knowledge and found that my son was my biological child, but my daughter was not. Initially, I could not accept such a cruel truth.
Despite being originally an easygoing, optimistic person with strong mental resilience, the paternity test results shattered my heart.
From then on, my heart became as harsh as steel, and my mental health took a hit.
If it was anyone else, I would dote more on my son. However, I instead became overly affectionate toward my non-biological daughter.
I gave her the best of everything—I read her stories, played games with her every day, picked her up from school, and bought her favorite hamburgers.
Of course, I had no other intentions. Treating her well was part of my revenge plan.
My wife's name was Yvonne Lanes. To be honest, she was not particularly beautiful, but she was good at presenting herself. After dolling up, she would transform into an undoubtedly gorgeous woman.
I really liked her, and many of my friends envied me, saying I married an elegant, graceful woman. They even praised me for being blessed with marital bliss.
Initially, I thought so too and took pride in it.
Later, I realized that not only did she have a great figure, but she was also an outgoing person with a knack for attracting men, which bothered me a bit.
What I feared most was her charm with men. She was overwhelmingly popular.
My wife worked as a cashier at a local company. From what I know, she had affairs with three men over the past few years. The first was the company's general manager, the second was the purchasing manager, and the third was the warehouse manager. Basically, everyone in charge of the company's sales and inventory system had all fallen for her charms.
One morning, my wife told me that her brother, Louis Lanes, was coming over to visit and asked me to buy some lamb after dropping the kids off so we could have stew together in the evening. I nodded in agreement.
My in-laws were established middle school teachers, while my brother-in-law was a good-for-nothing slacker and waste of life.
After graduating from high school, he began messing around in society. Luckily, his parents managed to get him a correspondence college degree, forced him to obtain a teaching license, and pulled some strings to get him a job as a physical education teacher in an elementary school.
Not cherishing the hard-earned job, my brother-in-law kept causing trouble. What was worse was that he became addicted to online gambling. Not only did he squander his entire monthly salary, but he even racked up a pile of online debts. With debt collectors harassing him at the school gate every day, he ended up getting fired.
"Peter, you know this website, right? Listen to me. Give me a dollar, and tomorrow, I'll get twenty thousand!" As soon as he opened the door, Louise started recommending those gambling websites to me.
"Louis, I'm not the only one saying this, but you should quit these habits while you still can. While your sister isn't back yet, I still have some private savings, so let me transfer some to you now. Pay them back as much as you can." After saying that, I transferred five thousand dollars to him.
Ever since my wife's affair, my attitude toward my brother-in-law had changed drastically.
I became exceptionally kind, never losing my temper with him. I often gave him pocket money and even helped him pay off debts. That was because I planned to use him as a pawn in my revenge plan.
"Peter, I..." Louis was clearly touched by my actions, opening his mouth as if choked up.
I waved my hand dismissively. "Louis, I'm going out to buy some lamb. Tonight, let's have a good drink together, just the two of us."
A gambling addict would never quit. I knew he would blow those five thousand dollars while I was out, but I felt exceptionally pleased. I could even picture the siblings turning against each other and fighting due to my actions.
