When Megan goes to her husband’s office, ready to surprise him with his favorite takeout for lunch, his receptionist reveals a secret. Suddenly, Megan finds out that she’s been demoted from wife to mere nanny, allowing her husband to run free in his office.
I found out my husband tells everyone that I am his kid’s nanny. A nanny who he doesn’t fire out of pity. What?
I thought I would surprise my husband with lunch. When I arrived at Ben’s office, his receptionist greeted me with a bright smile. “You’re Mr. Link’s nanny, right? Is something wrong with the kids?” she asked.
I was stunned. “No, I’m his wife, Megan.”
Her eyes widened. “I am so sorry! Mr. Link told us he’s a single father and that you’re the nanny.”
Feeling nauseous, I asked, “Why would he do such a thing?”
She hesitated. “He’s very popular with the women here. They think he’s a struggling single dad. I’ve heard he’s been seeing someone in sales.”
Betrayal hit me like a ton of bricks. I needed revenge. The receptionist, Sierra, suggested I crash his presentation the next day.
The next morning, Ben left for work without a word. After dropping the kids off, I dressed confidently and headed to his office. Sierra let me in, and I walked into his conference room with the kids.
“Hi, honey,” I said. The room fell silent.
“I’m Mr. Link’s nanny,” I continued. “I’ve discovered their father is a liar. He’s pretending to be a single dad while cheating on me.”
“Megan, wait,” Ben pleaded.
“No,” I replied. “I want a divorce. I’m taking the kids to my parents. We’re through.”
I left the office, ready to leave Ben and his lies behind for good.
