I arrived at the port with our twin babies to surprise my husband, a ship captain returning after months at sea. Instead, I caught him kissing his intern. Ryan smirked arrogantly and said, “I’m too good-looking to be faithful. Don’t make a scene!”
His mistress laughed in my face. I smiled back and said, “Look to your right.” Standing beside me was my father. My husband dropped his rolling suitcase and stood there, completely breathless.
Part 1
I brought my three-month-old twin girls to the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro to surprise my husband. But when Travis stepped off the cruise ship, he came down the gangway with his arm around a beautiful woman, and he kissed her passionately right in front of me.
For six months, Travis, the head of guest services on a luxury cruise ship, had promised to give up his job at sea and come home to take care of our family.
I had believed him.
With me was Harold, my father-in-law, a retired harbor pilot who always talked about family honor above everything else.
When he saw his son kissing another woman, Harold stormed over, furious.
“YOU IDIOT, TRAVIS!” he shouted.
I thought he was going to defend us.
But his next words left me cold.
“How many years have I been teaching you?! A smart man keeps his affairs a secret! What were you thinking, parading that woman in front of your wife and your babies?!”
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
“You’re scolding him because he didn’t know how to hide his cheating?”
Travis rolled his eyes.
“Jessica, I’ve been at sea for seven months! Every guy does it! Quit overreacting!”
I hugged my two babies and turned to leave.
But Harold gripped my shoulder firmly.
“You’re not going anywhere!”
He looked at me with contempt.
“You’ve got $37 in your account, no car, and no money to raise two babies! You’re getting on that plane with us right now!”
Travis stood beside his father, showing no remorse.
Both of them believed that because I had no money, I also had no right to decide anything.
But they had forgotten something important: the only thing they knew about was the balance in my personal account…
