Husband Thinks Wife’s Left, She Hides on Balcony Instead and Spots His ‘Secret Meeting’ – Story of the Day

In a desperate attempt to uncover her husband’s secrets, a woman hides on her bedroom balcony after pretending to leave the house. Little did she know that an unexpected visitor would enter her bedroom with her husband, turning her biggest fear into reality.

It was love at first sight for Charlie when he saw Alice sitting in the front row of his classroom in high school. Known for his charming and bubbly personality, the young boy instantly impressed his new crush upon approaching her.

After becoming friends with her, Charlie only took a few days to confess his feelings. He said he was head over heels in love with her, unaware that the shy girl also had the same feelings in her heart.

Soon, the young couple began dating, unaware they would tie the knot a few years later. Their friends and family cheered for them when they decided to get married in their early twenties, soon after Charlie landed his first high-paying job.

“You guys look perfect together!” the couple’s friends would tell them, firming their belief that they were meant to be together.

At first, life after marriage was nothing short of a fairytale for the couple. Alice would keep herself busy with house chores every day after Charlie left for work. She would spend her day cleaning the house and would cook dinner before her husband returned home.

Alice and Charlie were happy with the traditional roles they chose for themselves, but things took a different turn when they decided to expand their family. Having a baby was a tiring struggle the couple wasn’t prepared for.

“What have I done to myself?” she wondered.

After battling infertility for over five years, Alice and Charlie finally welcomed their only child, Henry, into this world. His birth was nothing short of a miracle for them, making him value his presence and love him more than anything else.

“You’re Mommy’s gift from God, my baby!” Alice would tell her little one, feeling grateful for having him in her life.

As Henry grew older, the couple’s focus shifted from their relationship to their son’s wellbeing. They strived to give him all the luxuries they could afford to make his life comfortable, sometimes sacrificing their needs.

With time, Alice and Henry became the best parents, but their relationship with each other deteriorated. Their memories of the time spent with each other were slowly fading.

Before Henry’s birth, they often went on dinner dates, boarded flights to their dream vacation destinations, and bonded while cuddling late at night. Besides that, Charlie would keep his wife updated about what happened at his workplace, while Alice would turn to him for advice whenever she faced any problem.

Now, Alice’s focus had shifted from her husband to her son. She spent the entire day taking care of Henry. Her day began with sending him to school and ended with kissing him goodnight, leaving her with no time to listen to her husband’s daily updates.

Unbeknownst to her, Charlie found someone else to share his problems with. Instead of talking to Alice, he shared his worries with his school friends, who gave him good advice. He had no idea his relationship with Alice was going downhill because of their dying communication.

While Charlie spent more time with his friends, Alice immersed herself in housework and kept busy with Henry. She helped him do his homework, ensuring he was doing well at school.

One day, Alice was cleaning the house after sending her son to school when she saw herself in the mirror, holding the broom in her hand. Her gaze locked on her unruly hair and dull, bumpy skin.

” she wondered, touching her cheek while examining her reflection closely.

Looking at her reflection that day made her realize she needed to care for herself. Amidst raising her child, she could never find the time to pamper herself. As a result, the young Alice with flawless, glowing skin was replaced by the woman whose world revolved around her son.

While feeling her uneven skin and staring at her dark circles, Alice pondered over her relationship with Charlie.

“Has he lost interest in me because I don’t look like the young Alice he fell in love with?” she wondered.

Once Alice finished cleaning the house, she took a shower, wore a fresh pair of jeans with her favorite black t-shirt, and headed to the hairdresser for a haircut. “I want a hair makeover, please,” she told the hairdresser.

After the hairdresser worked magic with her scissors, Alice couldn’t stop adoring her new, bouncy hairstyle. She loved how her new hairstyle made her look youthful.

Then, Alice headed toward the mall to buy some skincare products. “I want to get rid of these acne scars and the dark circles around my eyes,” she told the salesperson while looking at her reflection in the mirror.

“Sure, ma’am. I’ll show you the best products we have,” the salesperson replied as she fetched face serums and mists from the other aisle.

An hour later, Alice returned home with skincare products she planned to use religiously. She even bought some new clothes, hoping her efforts would rekindle the lost romance between her and Charlie.

“I love this hairstyle on you, Alice!” Charlie exclaimed upon seeing his wife later that day.

“Thank you!” Alice replied, feeling happy that he noticed it.

Over the next few weeks, Alice religiously followed her new skincare routine and tried to work on her relationship with Charlie. She spent at least an hour with him before going to bed.

However, Alice soon realized it was pretty challenging to restore their lost bond. No matter what she did, Charlie didn’t love her as he did before Henry’s birth. Moreover, she noticed his phone usage had increased significantly. She even saw him smiling at his phone while texting someone.

” she wondered while a million thoughts floated in her mind.

“Is it another woman? Is he cheating on me?”

Alice’s deteriorating self-esteem and Charlie’s increasing screen time gave rise to suspicions that turned the couple’s world upside down. Everything that Alice witnessed made her believe Charlie was cheating on her. She was almost sure there was another woman in his life.

Instead of confronting her husband, Alice decided to spy on him. One day, she picked up his phone while he was in the bathroom and tried to unlock it to no avail.

Another day, Charlie was sitting on the sofa, messaging someone. Feeling suspicious, Alice came near him, pretending to mop the floor, and tried to peak into his phone, but Charlie kept it down before she could read anything.

” she thought.

A few days later, Alice overheard Charlie talking to someone on the phone. “I’ll invite you to my place soon,” he said as a smile spread across his face. Alice could tell he was talking to a woman, but she wasn’t sure who it was.

After learning about his intentions, Alice devised a plan to catch her husband red-handed. She knew he wanted to invite someone to their place, which could only happen if she weren’t home.

“I’ll meet my friend, Sarah, tomorrow,” she lied to Charlie, hoping he would invite the other woman home.

“Oh, that’s great,” Charlie replied while his eyes were glued to his phone.

“Yes, we will have lunch together,” she replied.

“That sounds fun. Henry and I will order a pizza then,” he said.

The following day, Alice finished all the house chores before getting ready to leave. While Charlie thought she was going to meet her friend, Alice was wondering how she would hide on the balcony outside her bedroom.

“Come in, please!” Alice saw her husband open the door for someone.

A few minutes later, Charlie went to the bathroom to shower. Alice thought that was the perfect opportunity to fake her departure. “I’m leaving, honey,” she said while knocking at the bathroom door.

Then, instead of leaving the house, Alice opened the balcony door and sat outside, ensuring the glass door was covered with curtains. She could see the bedroom through a narrow opening between the curtains.

Her heart raced as she waited for Charlie to leave the bathroom. Standing on the balcony, she saw him pick up his phone and call someone. However, she couldn’t hear what he said.

A few minutes later, Charlie left the room after spraying perfume all over his clothes. Alice’s heart skipped a beat watching him go. She didn’t want to catch him with another woman. She wasn’t ready to feel her heart shatter into pieces.

“Come in, please!” Alice saw her husband open the door for someone. Her eyes widened in shock as she saw a familiar face enter her bedroom. It was Henry’s teacher, Samantha.

“Wow, you’ve got a nice bedroom!” Samantha said as her gaze shifted from the bed to the chandelier on the ceiling. “I love it!”

“I knew you would love my bedroom,” Charlie said while closing the door before he turned around and wrapped his arms around Samantha’s waist, his head resting on her shoulder.

“Oh, God!” Alice gasped as her hand went to her mouth. She could feel her heart pound inside her chest as she tried to process what she saw.

“Hurry up, Samantha,” Charlie said as he sat on the bed, unbuttoning his shirt.

“We don’t have a lot of time. Alice will return in a few minutes.”

“I don’t like hearing her name!” Samantha rolled her eyes.

At that point, Alice emerged from the balcony, tears trickling down her cheeks. She couldn’t believe the man she loved the most was cheating on her with his son’s teacher.

“How could you, Charlie? How could you cheat on me?” Alice shouted at her husband, her voice trembling.

“What the hell are you doing here?” Charlie’s eyes widened as he realized his wife had caught him red-handed. “How dare you lie to me?”

Meanwhile, Samantha’s cheeks turned red in embarrassment. She quickly rushed outside the room and left the house before Alice could confront her.

“What do you have to say about this, now? You should have thought twice before dating your son’s teacher!” Alice yelled in anger. “I’ll never forgive you for betraying me, Charlie. NEVER!”

“Hey, Alice,” Charlie held his wife’s arm, but she shrugged his hand away. “It’s not like that. I can explain what happened. Trust me, I love you and can never replace you.”

“What’s left to explain, huh?” Alice rolled her eyes, wiping tears off her cheeks. “I’m done with you, Charlie. It’s over! I’m kicking you out of my life, and I will ensure you never see your son’s face again!”

“Please don’t do that, please!” Charlie begged his wife. “I’m sorry, Alice. I promise this won’t happen again.”

“You’ve lost your chance, Charlie. It’s over,” Alice replied firmly.

The following week, Alice moved out of Charlie’s house after filing for divorce. She took the help of her friend, who worked as a lawyer and filed for Henry’s custody. She didn’t want her son to stay with his father.

Meanwhile, Charlie also filed for custody, and the couple fought a months-long battle before the court presented its decision in Alice’s favor. Henry was allowed to stay with his mother, while Charlie was only granted visitation rights.

Over the next few years, Alice worked hard to provide her son the best of everything. Her divorce taught her to stand up for herself, stop seeking validation from others, and feel happy and comfortable in her own skin.
