My Husband Left for the Maldives Three Days After I Had a Stroke—A Big Surprise Was Waiting for Him When He Returned

Betrayal & Revenge: How My Husband Chose a Vacation Over Me

Three days before our anniversary trip to the Maldives, I collapsed while chopping bell peppers. A stroke left me hospitalized, struggling to speak, move, or even smile properly.

Jeff, my husband of 25 years, was supportive—until he wasn’t. Instead of postponing, he gave our dream trip to his brother… or so he claimed. In reality, he took his mistress instead.

With my niece Ava’s help, I uncovered his secrets. When he returned, tan and smug, I served him divorce papers—along with a non-refundable Maldives trip… in hurricane season.

Now, I’m in Greece, sipping wine and reclaiming my life. Sometimes, the best revenge isn’t fire—it’s freedom.
