A Man Caught His Wife Having an Affair with His ‘Golden’ Brother at Their Family’s Vacation Home — He Pretended Not to Know, but the Next Evening, They Showed Up at His Door, Shouting, ‘What the Hell Have You Done?!’

The house was quiet when I walked in.

I carried two grocery bags into the kitchen and heard laughter upstairs.

Molly’s laughter.

Not her polite laugh or the one she used when my father repeated a story she’d already heard four times.

It was the warm, unguarded laugh I had always loved.

I smiled automatically.

Then I heard Kai.

“Does he suspect anything?”

I stopped moving.

Molly answered with a soft laugh.

“Kevin? Are you kidding? He trusts both of us.”

For a moment, my brain refused to understand the words.

I stood at the bottom of the stairs with a bag cutting into my fingers.

Kai said something too quietly for me to hear.

Then Molly laughed again.

“Stop. You’re going to make me laugh.”

A door opened.

I looked up.

Molly stepped into the hallway.

She was wearing the pale blue sweater I’d bought her for our anniversary. Her hair fell loosely over her shoulders.
