My husband disappeared for a month, then walked into my hospital room, dropped a divorce lawyer’s card on my blanket, and joked that I should “pay him” $1,000 a month—while my childhood best friend clung to his arm and smiled. They assumed the quiet illustrator was powerless. But the moment I signed, the house keys, the hidden timelines, and one overlooked detail in the paperwork began turning their smugness into panic.

36

After not seeing him for a month, John just thrust a divorce lawyer’s business card at me without even asking. Are you okay? Or how are you feeling divorcing a wife who doesn’t work?

Pay me $1,000 a month as alimony. Sounds good. Take care.

John chuckled as he said this, standing beside him. Emily was wrapping her arm around his, wearing a similar smug expression. Fine, let’s divorce then.

I said it so casually that John seemed a bit surprised, but he quickly shared his smile with Emily. Good thing John isn’t much of a thinker. It makes my plan easier to execute.

After the divorce papers got approved, I decided to start my revenge plan on both of them. I will make them cry as a celebration of my recovery. My name is Sarah Wolf.

I’m a 47-year-old illustrator. I’d also work as a children’s book author. I just love drawing.

I have two childhood friends, John and Emily. They’re important friends to me, and John is also my husband. It all started when John asked me out as I was heading to a different college after high school.

I was surprised. I thought he was into Emily, but I couldn’t say no to a confession from John, whom I had secretly liked. After some thought and consultation with Emily, I accepted John’s proposal.

Emily’s behavior had been a bit problematic since teens, but she was still a dear friend to both John and me. However, Emily had a tendency to snatch other people’s boyfriends and then dump them once they became obsessed with her, causing problems time and again. Her parents were concerned, so John and I often spent time with her to watch over her.
