Her Husband's Secret Affair novel Chapter 59

Adam leaned against the wall of the dimly lit room, arms crossed, eyes trained on the man seated across from him. The man hadn’t said a word in two days and it was beginning to get on Adam’s nerves.

But today, he got a call from his PI that the man was ready to talk.

“Talk,” Adam said, his tone firm but controlled. “Why is Brenda doing all this? What’s her endgame?”

The man hesitated, shifting uncomfortably in his seat. “You don’t get it, do you? She’s desperate.”

Adam narrowed his eyes. “Desperate for what? Ruining my life? Framing me? What’s her motive?”

“She doesn’t care about you,” the man said, meeting Adam’s gaze for the first time. “All she wanted was your money. Enough to disappear and start fresh with me.”

Adam clenched his jaw, his suspicions confirmed. “You were in on this?”

The man shook his head quickly. “Not at first. I didn’t even know what she was planning until it was too late. She said she’d pin the baby on you, get as much money as she could, and then we’d leave the country together. I wasn’t on board, but Brenda… she’s not the type you say no to.”

Adam’s voice dropped dangerously low. “You’re telling me you were going to run away with her after she destroyed my life?”

The man looked down, guilt flickering across his face. “Look, I didn’t know she’d go this far. I thought it was just a scam, something small. I didn’t sign up for this level of crazy.”

Adam stepped closer, his voice sharp. “You’re going to testify against her. You’re going to tell the court everything you just told me.”

The man shook his head violently. “No way. Brenda will kill me if I betray her. She’s unhinged.”

Adam smirked coldly. “You think she’ll protect you after this? She’ll throw you under the bus the second it benefits her. But if you help me, I’ll make sure you’re protected. I can even pay you enough to start over, somewhere far from her.”

The man hesitated, his eyes flickering with uncertainty. “How do I know I can trust you?”

“You don’t,” Adam admitted. “But you’ve got no other option. Testify, and you get a clean slate. Refuse, and you go down with her.”

There was a long pause before the man let out a heavy sigh. “Fine. I’ll do it. But you’d better keep your end of the deal.”

Adam nodded. “You’ll have your money. Just make sure you tell the truth.”
