Sally’s note wasn’t just a warning—it was a revelation. She claimed Jack had led her on, let her fall in love, and then left her to discover he was married with children. She wanted $10,000 to stay silent—or she’d reveal everything to me. By the time I dropped off the kids and returned home, I wasn’t just suspicious.
I was furious. I contacted a lawyer, gathered evidence from Jack’s emails—full of confessions and desperate pleas to keep his affair secret—and reached out to Sally myself. Within minutes, she replied. My world had already shattered, but this was just the beginning.
