Turning the Tables: My Wife’s Best Friend Mocked Her, So I Taught Her a Brutal Lesson in Loyalty
My name is Jake, and Meg has been my wife for over five years. We’ve faced many challenges together, particularly with infertility. Recently, we had dinner with friends, including Bethany, Meg’s best friend. After we left, I realized I’d forgotten my phone at the restaurant and went back to retrieve it. That’s when I overheard Bethany mock Meg, saying, “She is really pitiful! For what does she wish? As soon as I wink at Jake, I have a feeling he will come crawling towards me. I could give him a healthy child, at least.”
Determined to teach Bethany a lesson, I began to flirt with her, making her believe I was interested. I increased my attention and even suggested we meet for coffee. At our meeting, I played along, pretending to be captivated by her. “You know, Bethany, I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately,” I said, watching her blush.
Eventually, I invited her to a fancy dinner to “discuss our relationship.” Dressed up and excited, Bethany didn’t expect what came next. “Bethany, do you recall what you said about Meg that evening at the restaurant? I heard everything.” Her face turned pale. “You made fun of my wife behind her back. Did you really think that I would be fooled by your smug, cunning act?”
Bethany was furious, realizing she had been tricked. “You played me?” she snapped. “Damn right, I did,” I replied. “Everyone will now be aware of who you really are. Meg won’t be in your life again. I will ensure it.” Humiliated and angry, Bethany stormed out.
Back home, Meg, who knew about the plan, asked how it went. “Better than I expected,” I said, hugging her. “She’s not going to bother us anymore.” Bethany’s reputation quickly crumbled as word spread about her deceit. Meg and I grew stronger from this experience, learning to protect and trust each other even more.
