Derek has always been a representation of a loving husband and a dedicated father. He has always been there for his family. What’s most, he worked hard, sometimes overtime, in order to provide a life of luxury to his wife and children.

It happened every now and than that Derek needed to go out of town because of business, and his wife was supportive and took care of the kids while he was away.

One day, as his wife was cleaning his car, something he usually did himself, she stumbled upon some pieces of paper and some documents. Among them, there was a hotel receipt and it was from the time Derek said he would be doing business with some of his colleagues. This was strange, because the receipt was from a hotel placed at their hometown.

The wife thought to herself that there needed to be a logical explanation for that, but she wasn’t willing to confront her husband. However, that didn’t mean she wouldn’t inspect the matter any further.

Determined to get to the bottom of this, she started to pay closer attention to Derek’s comings and goings. Her thorough investigation extended to gathering every receipt she could lay her hands on—whether casually left in his pockets or forgotten in his car. While most were mundane, representing everyday purchases, occasionally, another hotel receipt would emerge, each one sending a small shock through her heart.

One day, when Derek announced yet another business trip, his wife decided to follow him.
