I Was on a Work Trip When I Saw a Woman I Didn’t Know Tuck My Son Into Bed on the Baby Monitor—What I Uncovered Made Me Seek Revenge

“Logan,” I said, my voice shaking, “who’s with Ben right now?”

There was a pause. “What do you mean?”

“I just saw a woman on the baby monitor,” I snapped. “She tucked him in. She kissed him. Who the hell is she?”

Silence. Just for a second. But it was long enough.

Then he muttered, “Damn.” And hung up.

I stared at the screen, heart racing. I tried calling back, but it went to voicemail. Again. And again. I wanted to believe it was a babysitter or a neighbor. Someone he forgot to mention. But that woman didn’t move like a babysitter. She moved like she knew Ben. Like she’d done that a hundred times.

I was panicking. I didn’t know what else to do, so I called my brother. Aaron lives 10 minutes from us.

“Can you go to my house?” I asked, breathless. “Now. Please.”

“What’s going on?”

“I saw a woman with Ben. Logan’s not home. I don’t know who she is.”

Aaron didn’t even hesitate. “I’m already heading over.”

The next few minutes crawled by. I paced the hotel room like a caged animal. Then my phone buzzed.

Aaron:“Logan just pulled up. With groceries. I’m going in.”

I held my breath. Ten more minutes passed. Then he called.
