Cheating Wife Went On Vacation & Got Back Pregnant, Demanding I Adopt Affair Baby. Sad Audio Story

[Music] I vividly remember the day I enlisted in the Army fresh out of college eager to serve my country the military's structure felt like the perfect fit and over the years I found purpose in my duties but with each deployment pieces of my personal life were left behind after nearly 30 years I retired Marcy and I had faced many challenges together raising our kids amidst the chaos despite thinking our bond was strong adjusting to civilian life proved harder than I expected and we started drifting apart the warning signs were subtle and I missed them comfortable

in our routine trust I realized is fragile we lived in a culdesac with modest Homes at our first block party Marcy and I empty nesters now met our neighbors our son Kyle was in college and our daughter Rhonda had joined the Navy which didn't thrill me as a retired army colonel at the party Marcy got stuck talking to Chuck from across the street and wasn't happy about it she signaled for me to save her but I was busy chatting with Jenny a fit single mom when Marcy gave me a more urgent look I brought Jenny

over to Chuck freeing Marcy but she wasn't impressed with how long it took me as we left we exchanged nods with the neelon a young couple who seemed to share an odd almost conspiratorial look my years and intelligence made me suspicious but I followed Marcy hoping for some pre-trip close years of military life strained our marriage we had nearly divorced during my carea posting but somehow got back on track yet deep down I knew something had happened during that rough patch infidelity is common in military marriages though no one likes to admit it Marcy and

I were fortunate to still be together though I suspected she had cheated while I was away how did I know a tip from my ex-girlfriend who managed a hotel near Marcy's work about seeing her at the Red Roof Inn raised questions I even hired an investigator but it turned out Marcy's hospital was under renovation and she parked there out of necessity still her early arrivals at work stopped when I returned home leaving me uncertain my time in Korea took a toll on our family a year apart created a gap I couldn't close and the strain

made me realize our marriage wasn't unbreakable though I never discovered who the other man might have been Marcy seemed committed to fixing things as was I I eventually sacrificed my love for flying transitioning to Army intelligence to reduce the risks despite multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan after 911s this new role gave Marcy some peace of mind but I still worried about our marriage and decided to retire rather than pursue a general star knowing another deployment could end Us in retirement my consulting job paid better than staying in the Army and I was there for

my kids graduations with Marcy by my side which was priceless Marcy continued her Nursing education and became the top nurse on a brain surgery team she worked closely with Dr Trey cardosa a talented confident surgeon I noticed how he looked at Marcy and her praise for him made me uneasy when I expressed my concerns Marcy admitted that flirting at work helped relieve stress but insisted it went no further she reminded me of my close working relationship with a CIA colleague dearry before deploying to Iraq though deardra had shown interest in me I had to trust

Marcy just as she had trusted me with deardra the conversation didn't go well and lingered in the background of Our Lives the truth was Marcy had a reason to be suspicious dearra made a move on me after an ambush in Iraq and in a moment of weakness I almost gave in we were interrupted before anything happened and I convinced myself it evened the score for whatever Marcy might have done in Korea but deep down I knew I was only fooling myself now Marcy and her team were heading to South America for 6 weeks with Doctors

Without Borders I wasn't thrilled about her being with Dr Trey but I didn't want to disrupt her career after all the support she had given me during mine I've stayed home for you many times she said now it's your turn to wait for me what could I say to that things were tense when she left for the airport she spent the night packing and talking to her Mom leaving us with little time together I didn't want to argue so I let it go the next morning she was gone no goodbye no note I checked for

messages but found none I was both annoyed and worried after calming down with coffee I tracked her flight to Colombia and hoped she would call or text upon Landing but she didn't I sent her a brief message I hope you're okay nice way to leave leave Marcy speaks volumes no reply not that day or the next running usually helped clear my head but frustration pushed me to run faster nearing our culdesac I was out of breath when Vincent neelon called out to me he lived behind us and his wife Leslie was in the garden nice

view huh he joked noticing where I was looking I brushed it off saying I needed a shower he invited me over even without Marcy suggesting steaks and drinks his wife smiled and her subtle movements added to the strange vibe I took the long way home still preoccupied with Marcy's silence after a shower I sat in our empty house waiting for a call that never came it was dark when I finally decided to call her hotel I knew her itinerary and room number but there was no answer the hotel manager Pablo Espinosa confirmed she had checked

in but seemed guarded he promised to check on her and have her call me but something fell off I then searched my contacts for Marcy's close colleague Penny Washington hoping she might know more just then my phone ran it was Pablo from bogat not Marcy hello Pablo I answered any news about my wife senores she wasn't in her room maybe with some other ladies are out he said becoming uncooperative can you do me a favor Pablo yes senores he replied less polite than before what's Dr Trey cardo's room number 514 senores do you want me

to call him I cringed Marcy's room was 515 not yet Pablo one more thing see senores but I'm busy please call Mrs Penny Washington's room after a pause he agreed and I waited on hold finally Penny answered she knew it was me probably tipped off by Pablo hi Penny I said sorry to bother you where is my wife she grew irritated why do you ask don't play games Penny Marcy's room is next to Trey's and she's not in it you know why Rick you should talk to your wife she replied but I overheard a man

asking who is that maybe I should talk to your husband about the man in your room Penny I have his number she quickly responded pleading please don't call my husband this is the first time I don't care how many times you've cheated Penny tell me where my wife is or I'll call him right now reluctantly Penny transferred me to Trey's room the phone rang and Trey answered thinking it was Penny sorry to interrupt Trey I said coldly but this is Rick Weston I need to talk to my wife he hesitated then played dumb why are

you asking me Trey if you value your hands put Marcy on the phone now after some noise I heard Marcy's voice give me the phone Trey she said Rick I didn't expect this conversation tonight what are you doing in his room Marcy why didn't you respond to my texts what do you think Rick she snapped I was having a good evening after a stressful day until you called just tell me the truth are you and Trey having an affair she paused then asked Trey to leave after a moment of Silence she finally spoke Rick I've

been a good wife and mother I'll be home in 6 weeks and we can talk then but right now just let me have this just once if I don't mind I replied stunned you didn't even have the decency to talk to me before you left Rick all that would have done is start a fight you think I said sarcastically maybe I would have asked you to stay I might have stayed she admitted but I needed this just once to feel alive and Trey he's just a distraction Rick I don't love him how convenient I said

then heard a knock at the door Marcy I have to go I told her I love you Rick I love you too Marcy but I'm not sure I'm still in love with you I hung up when I opened the door Leslie was standing there alone evening Rick she said with a smile hello Leslie I replied noticing how stunning she looked are you going to let me in she asked raising an eyebrow sure I said stepping aside she handed me a botle of wine red moscato my favorite something Marcy must have told her I was hoping

you needed some company Leslie said not sure how good I'll be but I do have some questions ask away she replied searching for wine glasses as I poured I asked where's Vincent he's out playing cards with friends I see I said thinking about how often I left Marcy alone during my military career Marc's in South America right Leslie asked have you heard from her funny you ask I was just talking to her when you knocked oh I'm sorry Rick did I interrupt no we said what needed to be said I replied sensing she could tell

I was in a bad mood Leslie I think we need to talk we locked eyes both of us questioning Leslie pursed her lips and then nodded let's sit I suggested pointing to the living room she sat at a slight distance from me Crossing her legs how much has Marcy told you she asked flipping the question back to me I had hoped Marcy talked to you before she left did she I asked no I ended up playing phone tag with her only to find out she's in South America with her doctor boyfriend then she told me

to talk to you so let's stop the games what did you and Marcy Plan before she left Leslie took a long sip of wine needing some courage Marcy and I ran into each other at the mall some time ago and we ended up having drinks at my place I don't know where you and Vincent were but we talked and I opened up about my marriage and my husband's interests she paused deciding how much to reveal so I waited in silence my husband likes to share me she finally admitted share you I asked piecing it together

with other men yes she confirmed I told Marcy because I wanted her to know so she might let me pursue you how did Marcy take that I asked at first she was shocked she listened quietly as I explained later she agreed on the condition that it happens while she's out of the country I scoffed amazed at the situation so Marcy never discussed this with me no she dropped that bombshell on me tonight just as you were on your way over Leslie said clearly surprised by the timing I found out about her and Dr Trey tonight

I admitted Leslie shook her head my husband and I have an open marriage but we never go behind each other's backs so Vincent knows you're here I asked seeking Clarity yes she confirmed he knows I'm attracted to you and has no issue with it you've had other steady Partners I inquired just one off and on for 2 years she explained mostly we meet men out of town for adventures and Vincent watches I asked surprised yes it's safer that way she said casually I shook my head in disbelief how long have you two been doing this

four years she replied as if it were perfectly normal and Marcy agreed to this arrangement I asked trying to piece it all together yes but only while she's away she clarified did she mention anything about what she'd be doing while she's gone I pressed further no she admitted but I had a feeling she might be doing something similar maybe giving me permission to be with you eased her conscience I wish she had talked to me I said feeling the weight of my own mistakes Leslie handed me a letter Marcy left this for you before we

do anything she said heading to the restroom the envelope simply read Rick I took a deep breath and opened it dear Rick by now you know I'm breaking our vows with Trey but before you judge me remember dear Dre in the Middle East I have no proof but I'm almost certain you slept with her I studied interrogation techniques when helping you with your Army intelligence classes and I noticed how you looked away whenever I mentioned her you're a terrible liar Rick when Trey first touched me I didn't tell you maybe I should have just like

I should have had affairs during those lonely years when you were off playing soldier I was tempted especially when you were in Korea but I stayed true to you then dearry visited me while you were in the Middle East and her smugness confirmed my suspicions I'm almost sure you were Unfaithful if I'm wrong then I'm the first to cheat but I doubt it so here's the deal while I'm gone I'm not your wife and you're not my husband we both have a six-week hall pass if we still love each other when I return we can

move forward if not we'll mourn what we had I'm choosing this Rick of my own free will I don't love Trey but I find him attractive he'll be nothing but a memory if you still want me if you love someone set them free I'll be back in 6 weeks meet me at the Ambassador Hotel near the airport if you want to try again if not don't come to the airport just walk away love always Marcy PS Leslie was supposed to get tested for STDs before tonight make sure she shows you the results Trey and I

were tested before we left and I'll get tested again before I return if we're going to make make this work this will be our first step toward trust after reading the letter I noticed Leslie at the kitchen island refilling her glass are you okay she asked I will be I replied she nodded and returned with the bottle sitting closer this time she refilled my glass and looked at me with those dolik eyes so Rick what do we do now right now nothing I said firmly you and Marcy planned this for 2 weeks and I'm just

hearing about it tonight it sounds like she's been up to something for a while am I right I guess so Leslie admitted looking down she wasn't used to someone resisting her charms if I were single it might be different but I don't like being played especially by someone I've Loved for most of my life you said this was her way of easing her guilt I continued it's clear this was planned behind my back she even told you what wine to bring I don't appreciate being used like that I understand how you feel she said quietly

so I guess nothing is going to happen between us not tonight I replied I need time to think before I make any decisions so can we count on you joining us for dinner in a day or two she asked I don't know Leslie I need to sort things out we'll see okay she said softly just know I'm here for you thanks Leslie I said good night and thanks for the wine she took that as her cue to leave and I couldn't help but admire her as she walked out after she left I reread Marcy's letter

it's amazing what you can notice when you take time to analyze it Marcy's tone was venomous when she wrote about dearry even though she wasn't sure we had slept together then a few paragraphs later she practically encouraged me to sleep with Leslie the contrast didn't make sense to me yes deardra and I got close in the Middle East but we never had Zex it happened once after surviving an ambush it wasn't planned like Marcy's affair with Trey and this whole setup with Leslie I felt guilty at the time but I also suspected Marcy had cheated

so it seemed like a twisted form of Justice I also wondered why Marcy didn't want me to meet her at the airport was she afraid I'd get angry I had never given her any reason to think I'd get violent and why meet at the hotel instead of coming home then it hit me was she really that devious considering she plotted all this right under my nose the answer seemed clear but what was really going on I scanned the room suspicious of any surveillance devices could there be a camera in the smoke alarm I decided to

make some calls but not inside just in case I was being monitored I grabbed Marcy's itinerary and stepped outside to the swing chair on the porch Marcy knows I'm a consultant but she doesn't know I'm actually the senior security consultant for Acme Global responsible for the safety of our offices worldwide I have contacts I can call on when needed my first call was to Alan Williams the top Tech specialist in my department he answered the phone with a straightforward Williams Allan this is Rick how's it going I asked pretty good boss Allan replied but I

doubt you called just a chat no I didn't I admitted I need your expertise I then gave him a brief rundown of the situation and my concerns I'm sorry to hear that Rick I understand Allan said sympathetically give me 45 minutes to get my gear and I'll be over thanks Alan I appreciate it I said before hanging up next I scrolled through my contacts and made another call Hola seor Rick came the cheerful voice on the other end Ernesto how are you my friend I asked warmly Ernesto tro was my go-to guy in South America

based in Bogota the same city where Marcy and her lover were staying I trusted Ernesto completely doing well here boss he said didn't expect your call today what can I do for you I gave him the same rundown I had given Allan damn he replied sorry to hear that you need eyes and ears on the ground right yes Ernesto I said providing him with the hotel details room numbers and the manager's name can you handle it absolutely you want audio video and pictures yes the works and send me daily updates let me know if you

need any extra funds got it I'll get started and be in touch soon thanks Ernesto I appreciate it send my best to your family we'll do talk soon after the call I emailed him Marcy's itinerary shortly after Allan arrived with his equipment in 30 minutes he found wireless cameras in several rooms mostly hidden in smoke detectors and a few microphones our landline had also been bugged these don't have much range Allan noted there's probably a receiver nearby we searched and found a box with a laptop in the Attic it was locked but Allan figured it

stored and uploaded data from the cameras and microphones Allan discovered the gear belonged to Smith investigations with an address and phone number conveniently labeled what do you want me to do with this Allan asked disable everything I considered it but decided differently disable the camera and mic in my office but leave the rest let them watch I'll make it boring Allan chuckled and removed the devices from my office he then checked the computer Marcy and I shared and found a key logger and spyware installed which he removed why do you think she did all this

I asked probably setting you up for something maybe a divorce Allan suggested confirming my suspicions you're probably right I said one more suggestion Allan added if the investigator installed all this he might still have a key you should change the locks and security codes good idea I'll call a locksmith right away thanks for everything Alan after he left I called a locksmith to change the locks and codes not wanting any uninvited guests as I waited for the locksmith I logged into Marcy's account on our shared computer curious about her recent activities her email opened without

needing a password her credentials were saved and she hadn't updated them as I had suggested for once I was was glad she didn't follow my advice normally I respected her privacy but this situation was different I searched through her emails and found several exchanges with Trey the doctor she was now involved with in Bogota rather than read them all at once I exported and saved them to a thumb drive for later review there were also emails with our kids but nothing noteworthy when the locksmith arrived I showed him the doors that needed new locks and

returned to the computer one email thread between Marcy and Trey had the subject line lawyer which caught my attention in the thread Marcy told Trey she had spoken with her lawyer reviewed the proposed divorce settlement and decided to move forward despite her lawyer advice Trey seemed surprised questioning her decision since she had claimed to love me and intended to stay with me Marcy's response was chilling she planned to stay with me but on her terms noting that I had unknowingly been a cuck for years she detailed her plan she would give me divorce papers at

The Ambassador Hotel when she returned and pressure me into signing a postnuptial agreement if I refused she would use evidence of my affair with Leslie to ruin me financially she even mentioned the possibility of suing Leslie for alienation of affection further tightening her grip on the situation Trey expressed concern about the risk she was taking but Marcy seemed confident that she had everything under control she even admitted to having cheated on me for years starting when I was stationed in Korea after reading the thread I printed it out for safekeeping by then the locksmith had

finished and I paid him including a tip for the after hour service I shut down the computer and went out for a burger and a beer picking up some cigars to calm my nerves I noticed a dark SUV following me likely the private investigator Marcy had hired despite trying to shake him he stayed on my tail when I pulled into Yan's Bar and Grill he did too frustrated I got out walked up to the SUV and yanked the door open startling the driver who the hell are you and why are you following me I demanded

the man stammered I I don't know what you're talking about nonsense I said you've been tailing me since I left my house are you the pi my wife hired I don't know what you mean he replied nervously you're lying I told him I'm fed up with Liars so maybe I should teach you a lesson what do you think please don't strike me I'll leave he pleaded don't ever let me see you near me again got it I warned I got it I'm sorry he muttered before driving off after he left I went inside ordered a

burger and beer and sat at the baroman trouble the bartender asked reading my mood yeah you could say that I replied can't live with them can't shoot him he joked making me chuckle I finished my meal grabbed a beer from the fridge when I got home and went outside for a cigar as I smoked a plan started forming in my mind I searched Google checked my calendar and picked a date I'd need to make a few calls to set everything in motion just then I received a text from Ernesto all set first update in the

morning please send $250 for expenses I quickly sent the money via PayPal and added thanks talk tomorrow I finished my beer and cigar then went upstairs curious I opened Marcy's nightstand drawer and found her rings I took off my wedding ring and placed it beside hers then looked up at the camera I knew was hidden in the smoke detector and flipped it off the next morning I checked Marcy's email and found a new message titled bin made the email detailed how I had discovered the surveillance of equipment and the investigator tailing me I marked the

email as unread and logged out after work I reviewed the footage Ernesto sent of Marcy and Trey it wasn't impressive but I noted her remark to Trey he's probably with that girl next door I'll have video of it tomorrow for my lawyer I ended the video and called Ernesto senior Rick thanks for the money did you see the footage I did Ernesto listen I have a plan I want to discuss with you I laid out my idea and he agreed it could be done within 10 days why 10 days he asked that's our 25th wedding

anniversary I want to make sure she never forgets it you're one tough ombre inor Rick he laughed after ending the call I scrolled through my contacts and found dear Dre's number someone I hadn't spoken to since our time in the Middle East I dialed and to my surprise she answered Rick Weston it's been forever she exclaimed I briefly shared my situation and she listened in shock when I read her Marcy's letter she responded angrily that lying witch I never said anything like that we were just a team watching each other's backs thanks dearry I regret

what happened between us but none of it justifies what Marcy's doing now I said Rick you have nothing to apologize for we were under extreme stress and I don't regret it so what's your next move she asked I told deerra my plan and waited for her reaction after a moment she replied I like it I really like it I have someone in Columbia handling part of it but I don't have access to everything I need for the rest I think I can help with that she offered when do you want this done in 10 days

on our 25th anniversary I replied oh you're Wicked she laughed consider it my anniversary gift to you we both chuckled then she added you know I've thought about you a lot since the war in the Middle East I've thought about you too I admitted we made a great team I haven't connected with anyone like that since she said a hint of sadness in her voice I'm sorry to hear that I responded that's life I guess she replied with a sigh I've been thinking about retiring they've got me pushing papers now if you do retire I

know a place that would hire you I suggested would I be working with a certain retired army colonel she asked a playful tone returning to her voice definitely I confirmed well that's something to look forward to she said then more seriously she asked Rick do you think we could reconnect yes I answered honestly Marcy's made her choices I'm not going back to her good she said with relief because I'd like to finish what we started in the Middle East I'd like that too I agreed but I need to handle a few things first I understand

she said just don't make me wait too long I won't I promised this divorce will take some time though I get it she replied just know I'm here if you need someone to talk to it's great hearing your voice again I told her sincerely yours too she replied warmly but my dinner's getting cold so I'll talk to you soon promise I teased you'd better she joked back after we ended the call I felt better than I had in a long time deard Dr still cared and that meant a lot I was brought back to reality

by knocking at the back door it was Leslie with a plate of lasagna I thought you might be hungry she said mind if I come inure put it on the counter I replied she smiled and set the plate down I hope you like it or maybe you'd prefer something else I was tempted but decided against it my conversation with deard Dre reminded me of what really mattered as tempting as that sounds I'll have to pass I said her expression shifted to concern what's wrong Marcy gave you a hall pass I do find you attractive but

Marcy's got a camera right there I said pointing toward the smoke detector why don't you wave hello she looked up at the detector shocked are you serious yes I confirmed she installed cameras all over the house and even hired a pi maybe heun's watching you too she shook her head clearly unsettled I had no idea come to my office I suggested once there I handed her a print out of the emails between Marcy and Trey after reading them she was stunned oh my God I didn't know Rick I swear I believe you I assured her

she played us both what are you going to do she asked concerned I'm filing for divorce and won't be with one until it's finalized I replied can we still be friends she asked hopefully of course I said but nothing more okay Rick she sigh I'm sorry about everything enjoy the lasagna thanks Leslie I responded I escorted Leslie to the back door watching as she left she looked good in those shorts but I wasn't about to risk everything after she was gone I changed into my running gear figuring the lasagna would still be warm when I

returned after my run and a shower I dug into the lasagna it was loaded with cheese mushrooms and meat just the way I like it it hit the spot I washed the plate grabbed a beer and headed to my office pausing to flip off the camera in the front room first I checked Marcy's email she had responded to the investigator telling him to ease off for now no other significant emails then I checked her finances we had three accounts one for each of us and a shared household account I noticed she had saved quite a

bit but also paid a hefty retainer to attorney Allison Hargraves and a significant amount to Smith investigations a few Victoria Secret charges also stood out nothing I'd ever seen her wear curious about Hargraves I did a quick search and found she was a family law attorney and author who promoted female L marriages her book had stirred some controversy and she was known for pushing the hot wife and cuck lifestyle I bought the cheapest Kindle version and took it to the patio with a beer and cigar after skimming through the psycho Babble it was clear Hargraves

had a strong disdain for men I couldn't believe Marcy chose her as an attorney it spoke volumes my phone buzzed and I saw a text from Ernesto he could arrange what I needed but it would cost $1,000 I decided to transfer the money from Marcy's account ensuring any Trace would lead back to her I messaged Ernesto to confirm the transfer was done the next few days flew by my routine became checking Ernesto's updates Marcy's email going to work running eating and unwinding with a beer cigar and TV before bed I didn't care that Marcy never

called or texted I was enjoying the silence as whatever love I had for her was gone I saw Leslie only once after showing her the emails when I returned the plate Vince invited me to dinner but I declined saying I had things to do he seemed disappointed but I was relieved Leslie stayed away I didn't need that distraction the highlight of my days was talking to dearry we chatted every couple of days discussing life dreams pets and even my kids the more we talked the closer I felt to her and I realized I was falling

for her eventually I scheduled a meeting with Allison Hargraves her receptionist welcomed me with coffee and I shook Allison's hand as I introduced myself she seemed about my age well-dressed and in decent shape noticing the ring on her finger I couldn't help but wonder what kind of Life her husband LED so you're considering a divorce Allison Hargraves asked yes I am I replied and your name is Weston she confirmed that's right she frowned while checking her computer and then asked whatat your wife's name Marcy short for Marsha well Mr Weston I can't represent you due

to a conflict of interest I'm already representing your wife I figured I also know you only represent women seems a bit zexus to me she stared at me if you knew that why did you come to see me as a retired army intelligence officer I like to understand my enemy enemy is that how you see me pretty much I read your book in your New York Times interview you recruit your clients into your lifestyle right is that what you did with my wife that's privileged information she replied of course did you know Marcy was going

to Columbia and what she planned to do again that's privileged information she said firmly I nodded I noticed you're married your book's chapter on controlling husbands was interesting do you treat your husband the way you suggest humiliating and controlling him that's none of your concern Mr Weston I think this meeting is over I smiled and stood up I'd like to say it was a pleasure meeting you Mrs Hargraves but that would be a lie we'll likely meet again good day as I left I added by the way I found your book disgusting have a good

day I walked out noticing the reception as smiling as I left possibly overhearing our conversation finally our 25th anniversary arrived I took the day off knowing it would be eventful early that morning dearry texted me confirming she had done what I asked later I received a message from Ernesto check your email I opened the video he sent it showed a dirt road with a makeshift checkpoint three SUVs approached and armed soldiers stopped them they searched the vehicles and found something significant leading to more soldiers arriving Trey and Marcy were pulled from their SUV handcuffed and

taken away a tow truck hauled the SUV off and the other vehicles were eventually waved through shocked I immediately called Ernesto I saw the video Ernesto what happened we planted the stuff as planned just a small amount but it turns out Trey was smuggling large quantities of white powder and flea powder my men saw the pills being loaded and backed off to avoid cartel involvement good call where are Marcy and Trey now they're both in jail it seems Marcy might have known about the pills but it's unclear how much they have 48 hours to present

the case to a judge and the investigation could take up to 90 days but I doubt it'll take that long so the consulate Knows by now they should Ernesto confirmed I'll keep you upate dated thanks Ernesto it's not what I expected but if Marcy's involved in trafficking she deserves what she gets after ending the call I contacted dearra to fill her in she wasn't too surprised and offered to reach out to her contacts in Colombia to gather more information I'll let you know as soon as I hear something she assured me while waiting to hear

back from dearry I gathered a trash bag and went through the house removing all the cameras and microphones that Marcy's Pi had installed I also grabbed the receiver and laptop from the attic tossed everything into the bag and set it in the driveway then I called Smith investigations Smith investigations a woman answered I want to speak to the head honcho I demanded uh okay sir one moment she stammered clearly taken aack a few seconds later I recognized the voice of the man I had confronted at yans James Smith how can I help you this is

Rick Weston remember me I asked my tone firm your client is now in a Colombian jail on pill trafficking charges I've removed all your gear from my house it's in a trash bag in my driveway if it's still there tomorrow it's going in the garbage yes sir he replied quickly his voice tense I hung up not interested in hearing anything more from him the next morning the bag was gone I assumed Smith had picked it up but I didn't really care soon after dearra called I just spoke with the station Chief in Bogata she said

getting straight to the point what did you find out I asked Colombian authorities have been watching Trey since he arrived he's connected to a major pill cartel if Marcy's involved she could be looking at a long prison sentence the judge on the case is tough on foreigners dearer explained how much time could she get I inquired at least 10 years she replied well if she's guilty she deserves it how much were they caught with I asked feeling the weight of the situation about 20 lbs of white powder and flea powder she informed me damn I

muttered expect a visit from the state department soon dearra warned let me know how it goes I will thanks I replied ending the call afterward I contacted the hotel in Bogata when Pablo answered I asked to be connected to Penny Washington's room Penny answered nervously Penny it's Rick Weston do you know where Marcy is it's our anniversary and I wanted to reach her is she out with Trey no Rick shek not Penny replied her voice shaking Marcy and Trey were arrested at a checkpoint for pill trafficking the soldiers took them away we were questioned and

told to stay at the Hotel it's like house arrest have you told Josh I asked pointedly no she admitted quietly penny I'm going to talk to him soon I informed her please Rick don't tell him it'll destroy him she pleaded not as much as your cheating will I replied sharply he deserves to know I ended the call and immediately contacted Josh giving him the details and offering to send video evidence of Penny's Affair thanks for telling me Rick this will be the last time she cheats on me Josh said I sent him the videos and

then contacted a divorce lawyer scheduling an appointment in 3 days a couple of days later my supervisor Bill Hastings called me into his office a man from the state department Thomas Herman was there Rick your wife Marsha has been arrested in Columbia for pill trafficking Thomas said we can monitor her situation but can't interfere with local laws she's also been placed on a no-fly list so even if released she can't return to the US how much prison time is she facing I asked up to 12 years Thomas replied after 7 or 8 years she might

be eligible for conditional release but she won't be able to leave Columbia he handed me a pamphlet on how to send her money for legal fees and other expenses then offered to help arrange visitation I told him I'd consider it and would be in touch after Thomas left Bill closed the door and said Rick this could affect your security clearance and job take some time off and get this under troll I will Bill thanks back home I searched Marcy's emails for anything suspicious I found an exchange with Trey from three months before their trip Trey

asked if Marcy wanted to make extra money in Colombia after some hesitation she agreed to his plan good girl Trey replied trust me Youk be glad you did I printed out the email chain saved it as a PDF and added it to a thumb drive with other incriminating emails next I reviewed the videos skipping the phys physical parts and found a conversation the day before they were caught I noted the time stamp are you ready tomorrow's the big day Trey asked I think so Marcy replied nervously good the product will be in our vehicle tomorrow

morning in boxes marked as medicine we won't even have to touch it and you're sure we won't get caught Marcy asked I've been on that road many times no checkpoints if this works we can do it again and retire with the money sounds good to me she said bingo I saved the video to my thumb drive and gathered my thoughts I then emailed the kids to arrange a Skype call for the next evening after that I called Ernesto to update him damn what's your plan he asked I'm going through the rest of the evidence I

Marcy's situation they were heartbroken but agreed to pick up her things they were shocked to learn about her pill charges are you sure Marcy's involved in pills her father asked yes I have evidence which I'll give to the prosecutor they arrived later took her car and belongings and expressed their sadness over the situation please stay in touch Rick her mother said as she hugged me I will I promised after they left exhausted I grabbed a beer and a cigar and sat on the porch dearra called to check on me hey how are you holding up

she asked I've been better but your call is lifting my spirits we chatted and I shared my idea with her after a pause she responded that's the best idea I've heard in a long time let's do it we ended the call on a positive note and I felt much better the next day I met with my attorney Lisa Hawkins who was confident and professional unlike Marcy's lawyer I provided her with the evidence and explained Marcy's charges in Colombia that should make things easier for us Lisa said what do you want out of this everything except

her 401 k clothes and car I've already sent most of her money for her expenses that's doable how do you plan to server I'll deliver the papers myself okay I'll have them ready in 2 days we discussed the possibility of going after Trey or her lawyer but Lisa advised against it noting that such cases rarely succeed I agreed and left after paying a retainer later I Skyped with the kids to break the news what's up Dad Kyle asked I have some news your mother and I are getting divorced both kids were shocked why Dad Kyle

asked did you do something I gave them a brief explanation and revealed that their mother was in a Colombian jail for pill trafficking are you sure she's involved Ronda asked yes I have evidence that I'll give to the prosecutor you're helping put her in prison Kyle asked she broke the law son I can't ignore that we've talked about the dangers of pills before I know Kyle said quietly it's just so screwed up it is son but your mom made her choice and she got caught we talked a bit longer and I answered all their questions

it was a difficult conversation but by the end they understood everything their mother had done and why I had to proceed as I did I promised to send them the address where they could write to her and we ended the call with a tearful goodbye afterward I called Tom to arrange visitation for the day after I received the divorce papers he agreed to set it up and we ended the call then I updated Ernesto on my plans do you know who's Prosecuting the case I asked yes Ricardo Montoya he's tough good I'll bring him some

evidence when I arrive we ended the call and my last one was to dearry she listened quietly as I filled her in and by the time we finished I felt much better 2 Days Later Lisa informed me that the papers were filed and ready for Marcy's signature with my bags packed and tickets ready I grabbed my passport picked up the papers and headed to the airport after letting Ernesto know I was on Route I received a message from Tom confirming the visitation setup Ernesto met me after I I cleared customs and we gathered my luggage

before heading out where to first he asked to see Senor Montoya I replied at the government building Ernesto parked and I headed inside to montoya's office a receptionist stopped me but before I could say much A well-dressed man appeared I'm seor Montoya he introduced himself and you are Rick Weston I replied shaking his hand I believe you're handling the case against my wife Marcy he invited me into his office and asked what information do you have for me I handed him a thumb drive this contains video of her and Trey discussing moving pills and email

exchanges I've also included her email credentials if you want to dig further Montoya eyed me carefully you realize it's my job to put her in jail for a long time right yes I understand so why are you giving me this evidence shouldn't you be helping her defense when I didn't respond immediately he continued ah she was having an affair with Dr cardosa wasn't she yes I admitted I see you're seeking Revenge no I replied I'm a retired army intelligence officer I can't ignore the law even for my soon to be ex-wife I'm also here to

serve her divorce papers use the evidence as you see fit Montoya nodded all right Senor Weston I'll review your evidence how long will you be in Bogota just a day or two enough to serve the papers and return to the states very well welcome to Bogata he said as we shook hands when I returned to the car Ernesto asked asked how did it go you were right Montoya is tough I replied he laughed you have no idea letun head to my place Lupe's been cooking all day at his home Ernesto set me up in a

spare bedroom and I met his wife Lupe and their children we enjoyed a delicious dinner after which Ernesto and I relaxed with cigars and aente a fiery drink that lived up to its name we talked casually before turning in for the night the next morning Ernesto drove me to the prison where Mar was being held the conditions were rough noisy crowded and foul smelling inside we were led to a small room where Marcy waited looking gaunt and exhausted Shackled to the table I sat across from her opened my briefcase and set the divorce papers on

the table you once gave me a choice Marcy take you back or walk away you know what I chose tears fell as she whispered I'm sorry Rick I never meant to hurt you nonsense I replied you plotted with Leslie saw Allison Hargraves and tried to set me up you lied about everything I came here for one reason sign these papers and we're done but I don't want a divorce she protested too late you plan to make me your slave or ruin me face it we're finished sign the papers reluctantly Marcy picked up the pen and

signed where indicated with the embassy official witnessing our signatures when it was done I put the papers Away by the way I said I noticed you paid in full for the Ambassador Ator hotel since you won't need it I'll take advantage of the reservation go ahead she muttered and just so you know I plan to invite deerra we'll finish what we started in the Middle East just once if you don't mind she glared at me with anger but I shook my head after everything you've done don't even start I said as far as I'm concerned

we're no longer married enjoy your miserable life I stood up and walked out leaving her sobbing at the table outside I saw Montoya by his car he came over shook the embassy man's hand and looked at me if you don't mind I'd like to speak with Colonel Weston privately for a moment he said the embassy man nodded and left Montoya put an arm around me and said walk with me Colonel please call me Rick I'm no longer a colonel I replied he smiled and you may call me Ricardo once a military officer always a military

officer right he said Ernesto thinks highly of you he's told me a lot of good things you know Ernesto I asked yes we served in the Army together when he joined atme Global I became a prosecutor I reviewed your evidence it's strong it'll save my government time and resources which is why I decided not to charge you with criminal conspiracy he said I was shocked don't be surprised he continued Ernesto told me your plan if your wife had been caught with a small amount she might have been fined and deported but thanks to Ernesto nothing

illegal was purchased and the money you sent went to a charity for widows and orph orphans they appreciate your donation I couldn't help but smile your cooperation and record convinced me not to press charges but if you ever try something like this again I won't hesitate to take action he warned I understand Ricardo thank you no thank you the information you provided will be helpful Justice is coming for your wife and Dr cardosa I'm heading back to the States now I said if you return to Bogata maybe we can have dinner he offered I'd like
