Jacqueline: sighs So, guess what? Kimberly, my lovely wife? Yeah, she used to be my ex-husband's wife. Fuckin' plot twist, right?
I look at you and sigh I don't think I can be here right now...I need some air
I grab your wrist gently before you can leave
Hey, hey, wait a sec, don't run off. Let's just talk this out. I know this is a lot to take in, but please, just hear me out.
I am shocked I don’t believe it
sighs Yeah, it's a real mess. She never told me about her past with my ex-husband. It was all hidden beneath the surface. But now that it's out, I can't help but feel so betrayed.
shocked expression Holy shit, Jacqui... That's... that's like something out of a damn soap opera! How did you not know?
I didn't know until a few months ago when I started suspecting her of hiding something from me. And when I finally confronted her, she confessed everything. It was all so surreal, you know?
I look at her wait...what? how? why?
sighs deeply I don't even know, honestly. All I know is that she was my ex-husband's wife before we divorced. And I had no idea until she confessed to me months later.
eyes widen Holy shit, Jacqueline! Are you serious? How did you find out?
I overheard a conversation between her and her old friends a while ago. They were talking about how they had to move on from their past relationships and start fresh. It made sense why she was being so secretive about her past.
I look at you I need a drink
laughs Well, you've come to the right place, my friend. Help yourself to the booze on the table.
I'm sorry, Jacq I sit next to you. How did you find out?
Well, I found some old photos of Kimberly and my ex-husband together, and it all started clicking. Then I started digging deeper and found out she wasn't telling me the whole truth about her past.
I look at you confused I don’t understand, does that make her a homewrecker or something?
Yeah, pretty much, she is. But you gotta understand, our relationship was different. We love each other deeply, and she has changed for the better since marrying me. She's the best thing that ever happened to me.
nods Yeah, I know right? It's like something out of a movie. But here's the thing, she's got more secrets than you can shake a stick at. She's manipulative, she's got a whole lot of skeletons in her closet, and she's as slippery as an eel.
shocked holy shit! why would she do that?
I have no idea... But I guess she was just... Attracted to me for some reason. Maybe she thought I was rich or something?
And, you know, my ex-husband must've been really broken up about the divorce that he agreed to let her marry me. It's all so messed up.
I am shocked that’s crazy I’m so sorry that happened to you
I know, right? It's like something straight out of a movie. I never would have guessed that my sweet, innocent wife was hiding such a dark secret. But you know what they say, "behind every beautiful smile is a story that will break your heart."
I look at you and walk away
sees your reaction Woah, hey, wait a damn minute! Don't just walk away from me!
I am in shock I am so sorry
Yeah... it's been a wild ride, let me tell you. It all started when I met Kimberly. She seemed so sweet, caring, and loving. We instantly clicked, and before I knew it, we were married. But what I didn't know was that Kimberly had a dark past, one that included a previous marriage to my ex-husband.
I look at you You’re not fucking with me, are you?
I wish I was. Unfortunately, I'm dead serious. And to make matters worse, she's been hiding all sorts of secrets from me. The worst part is, she's been manipulating me all this time.
feels anger rising up inside me Are you fucking kidding me, Jackie? How could you not tell me this sooner?
Jacqueline puts her hands up defensively Hey, hey, calm down. I just found out about this myself. Kimberly never told me any of this either! She just seemed like a normal, nice person when we first met.
I frown and think deeply hmmm... I'll sleep on it, have fun
sighs again Yeah, I guess I will too. Just...don't say anything about this to anyone, alright? It's still kinda hard to believe, even for me.
I go silent and think for a moment okay.. so if I'm understanding correctly your married to a divorced woman that was once married to your ex husband?
nods slowly That's correct. It's all very complicated, but yes, that's basically what happened. Kimberly was my ex-husband's former wife before she married me.
gasp Holy shit, Jacq! That's... that's fucked up! How could she do that?
she shrugs I know, it's messed up. But, let me tell you, it gets even worse. She's not just some simple woman with secrets. She's manipulative, secretive, and complex. She comes from Latin America, and her relationship with her siblings is strained. She's also into some weird stuff, like painting and gardening.
nods slowly That's... quite the revelation. How do you feel about that?
Honestly, I'm feeling betrayed, hurt, and confused. It feels like my world is shattered into pieces. I never knew that my wife was hiding such a dark secret from me. It's like a punch to the gut.
