Love Affair and Consequences

To help my husband pay off our mortgage,

I took the initiative to approach the banker, Joel.

At first, I thought I would hate the way it felt,

but Joel's gentle gestures made all my worries disappear.

From that day on, my heart was no longer at peace

when I got home.

My husband happily told me that the bank

had not only lowered the interest rate on our loan,

but had even extended the repayment period by three months.

Seeing how happy he was,

I couldn't bring myself to tell him the truth.

The next day, I tried to forget what had happened

the day before by studying, but Joel suddenly called me.

He asked me to come to the hotel he had booked.

My heart started racing, but for the sake of my family,

I decided to decline Joel's invitation.

My husband seemed to sense something was wrong.

Thinking I was in a bad mood,

he told me to go out for a walk.

Just then, a bus heading to the hotel

suddenly appeared in front of me.

After hesitating for a few seconds,

I still gave up on getting on this vehicle.

However, as soon as the bus drove away,

I immediately felt regret.

I hurried toward the hotel as fast as I could.

Just as Joel turned to leave,

I happened to arrive at the hotel entrance.

That night, the passion burning inside me

was finally released.

Afterward, Joel suggested we meet every Tuesday.

I didn't respond to him, but in my heart,

I had already agreed to Joel's request.

When Tuesday finally arrived, Joel had vanished.

I made countless calls, but couldn't reach him.

It wasn't until I arrived at the hotel

that the front desk told me

Joel had checked out that morning.

This left me feeling utterly devastated.

From that day on, my world seemed to lose all its joy.

Even when my husband threw me a birthday party,

I couldn't feel any happiness at all.

My husband thought I was sick.

He took me to the hospital for a checkup,

but the doctor said there was nothing wrong

with me physically.

After we got home, my husband tried to be intimate with me,

but at that moment, my mind was on Joel.

This made my husband realize I had betrayed him.

He angrily demanded to know who the other man was.

With no other choice,

I had to confess everything to my husband.

He immediately grabbed a glass of water

and threw it in my face, then kicked me out.

In that moment, I felt as though I had lost everything.

I had no choice but to call Joel again.

After hearing my story, he decided to buy me an apartment.

There, I felt happy once more.

However, this happy life didn't last long.

Soon, Joel's wife discovered the secret between us.
