My wife’s best friend invited her over for dinner, but that night revealed her true colors. She made some of the cruelest remarks about my wife, which I overheard, and you won’t believe the revenge I planned. This person had no idea who she was dealing with.
My name is Jake. Meg, my wife, and I have been married for over five years, and we have a great relationship. We’ve faced many challenges together, including our struggle with infertility.
About a month ago, we had dinner with a few friends, including Bethany, who was Meg’s maid of honor and her best friend. The evening was full of laughter and catching up.
As the night progressed, I leaned over to Meg and whispered, “I think we should leave soon. We need to stick to our treatment plan.”
Meg smiled and nodded. “You’re right. Let’s say our goodbyes.”
We told our friends, “Sorry to cut it short, but we have an early appointment tomorrow,” and left the restaurant. We thought the evening had ended well, but it was just the beginning.
After leaving, I realized I had forgotten my phone at the restaurant. “Oh no, I left my phone,” I exclaimed, checking my pockets.
Meg looked concerned. “Do you want me to come with you?”
I shook my head. “No, go home. I’ll be right back.”
As I returned to the restaurant and reached for my phone on the table, I heard Bethany talking to another friend.
“Oh my gosh, did you see Meg?” Bethany scoffed. “She’s so pathetic! What does she even want? I bet Jake would come crawling to me if I winked at him. At least I could give him a healthy child. She’s just gross.”
I was stunned. How could she say that? I would never leave Meg for this awful woman. Although I felt a surge of anger, I decided Bethany needed a harsher lesson. I devised a plan.
The next time we all met, I was extra nice to Bethany. “Hey Bethany, you look amazing tonight,” I said with a smile.
She laughed, clearly enjoying the attention. “Thanks, Jake! You always know how to make a girl feel special.”
I started texting her occasionally and laughing at her jokes. “Hey Bethany, saw this meme and thought of you,” I wrote.
It didn’t take long for her to start flirting back. “Jake, you’re so sweet. Maybe we should hang out more often,” she replied.
I pretended to be charmed by her and kept up the act for weeks. I gave her more attention when we were out with friends and sent her sweet messages.
One night, after laughing at one of her stories, I said, “Bethany, you always have the best stories.”
She beamed. “Do you think so, Jake? I guess I do have a talent for it.”
Meanwhile, Meg was unaware of what was happening. I didn’t want to hurt her by revealing Bethany’s cruel remarks yet. “How’s Bethany doing?” she would ask. “She seems really happy lately.”
I would smile and say, “Yes, she’s been in a great mood. Must be all the attention.”
Eventually, Bethany suggested we meet alone. She thought she had me under her spell.
“Hey Jake, want to grab coffee? Just the two of us,” she texted one day.
Knowing it was the perfect time to expose her, I agreed. “Sure, Bethany. How about that little coffee shop downtown on Friday?” I replied.
When we met, she was all smiles and flirtation. “Hey Jake,” she greeted, eyes sparkling. “I’m so glad you could make it.”
“Of course, Bethany.” I smiled warmly. “I’ve been looking forward to it.”
During our coffee date, I acted even more interested, making her believe she was winning me over. “You know, Bethany, I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately,” I said, leaning closer.
She blushed and twirled a strand of hair. “Oh really? What have you been thinking?”
“How amazing you are. How fun it is to be around you,” I responded, watching her soak up the praise.
Over the weeks, Bethany started hinting at a future together. “Jake, you deserve someone who can give you everything you want,” she said one day.
I knew it was time to get serious. I invited her to a fancy dinner, pretending to discuss our “relationship.” “Let’s have a nice dinner, Bethany. I want to talk about us,” I said with a serious tone.
She arrived dressed to impress, clearly expecting a significant moment. “Jake, you look amazing,” she said, her eyes wide with anticipation.
We sat down, and I began my usual routine of compliments. “You look stunning tonight, Bethany,” I said.
“Thank you, Jake,” she replied, smiling.
Just as she was basking in her perceived victory, I dropped the bombshell. “Bethany, do you remember what you said about Meg that night at the restaurant? About her being pathetic and infertile?” I leaned in and asked.
Her face turned pale. “What are you talking about, Jake?”
“I heard everything,” I replied. “You insulted my wife, whom I love, behind her back. Did you really think I would fall for your manipulative act? You’re wrong. Meg and I are stronger than ever, and we don’t need someone as toxic as you in our lives.”
Bethany’s shocked expression quickly turned to anger. “You played me?”
I leaned back and smirked. “Damn right, I did. Now everyone will know who you really are. Meg won’t be your friend anymore. I’ll make sure of it.”
Bethany stormed out of the restaurant, humiliated and furious.
When I got home, Meg was waiting for me. She had known about the plan from the start. “How did it go?” she asked, her eyes filled with concern.
“Better than I expected,” I replied, hugging her. “She won’t bother us anymore.”
We had a long conversation about what had happened, growing even closer. It hurt that Meg had to deal with such betrayal, but we faced it together.
“I’m so sorry you had to go through this, Meg,” I murmured.
“Jake, it’s not your fault. I’m glad we handled it together,” she smiled.
Bethany tried to salvage her reputation, but word of her actions spread quickly. She lost many friends and her social circle shrank. One day, Meg said with satisfaction, “She got what she deserved.”
“Yes, she did,” I agreed. “And we’re stronger because of it.”
Meg and I continued our journey, more united than ever. The lesson? Don’t mess with those I care about. You never know when karma will catch up with you.
Thank you for reading. Stay strong, protect your loved ones, and never let cruelty go unpunished.
If you thought this was a harsh lesson, you’d be shocked by what Megan did when she discovered her fiancé was cheating with her best friend! She had a plan to ruin their wedding day.
