My brother, who runs a hotel in Hawaii, called and asked, “where is your wife?” I answered, “she’s on a business trip in New York.” he said, “she’s at my hotel in Hawaii with another man, and she’s using your ATM card.” with my brother’s help, I set up a revenge plan. the next day, my wife called me in panic — 54 missed calls. It was nearly midnight when my phone buzzed.
I was half asleep, still believing my wife, Claire, was three time zones away on a week-long business trip in New York.
She had left three days ago, kissed me goodbye, and texted me that evening: Meetings are intense. Miss you already.
So, when I saw my brother Daniel’s name on the screen, I figured it was a mistake. He ran a boutique luxury resort in Maui.
Calls at this hour were rare.
“Danny?” I answered, groggy. His voice was sharp, direct. “Hey, I didn’t mean to wake you, but I have to ask.
Where’s Claire?”
I blinked.
“What? She’s in New York.
Business conference. Why?”
He was quiet for a half-second, then, “No, man.
She’s not.”
I sat up.
“What are you talking about?”
“She checked into my hotel three hours ago,” he said slowly. “Under her real name. She’s here in Hawaii with some guy.
They booked the Ocean View suite with your ATM card.”
My entire body went cold.
“What does the guy look like?” I asked, heart pounding. “Tall, muscular, beard.
He signed in as Eric Monroe. Does that name mean anything?”
Oh, it meant something.
Eric was one of Claire’s co-workers.
She’d mentioned him in passing. “Funny guy, great at sales, married supposedly.”
