Thomas and I had been together for twenty years, and I believed we had a happy marriage. I thought so when he proposed to me after college, and again when I gave birth to our four children.
But a few months ago, I saw a message from another woman appear on his phone. I was holding our six-month-old baby girl in my arms when I asked him to explain.
“I’m with Sophie now. We’ve been together for more than a year. I don’t want to waste any more time with a woman I’m NOT ATTRACTED TO AT ALL anymore.”
Sophie was his secretary at work. She was beautiful, tall, and about ten years younger than him.
I had been pregnant with our baby while he was cheating on me.
My heart broke.
Then came the divorce. It
As our son’s fifteenth birthday approached, he dreamed of throwing a big pool party with his entire family and all his friends.
So, I organized everything.
Then Thomas sent me a message:
“I’ll bring Sophie. She’s ALSO PART OF MY FAMILY.”
My God… I wanted so badly to show him that I was doing perfectly fine without him.
So I contacted an actors’ agency. They sent me an actor named Alexandre, who agreed to PRETEND to be my boyfriend.
When I saw him for the first time, I was almost speechless. He was tall, handsome, and confident. How could a man like him possibly be interested in a woman like me?
I was about to call the whole thing off, but Alexandre said to me:
“Don’t you want him to see how happy you are without him?”
