The Day I Buried My Marriage

Wife uncovers husband's affair, plots calculated revenge at company gala.

After finding a burn mark and foreign perfume on Gavin's underwear, the narrator follows him to a parking garage and witnesses him kissing his married boss, Victoria Lang. Rather than confront him immediately, she maintains a perfect domestic facade for three months while secretly compiling evidence. At the company's tenth-anniversary gala, Victoria takes the stage to announce Gavin's promotion, only for police to arrive and arrest them both. Victoria receives a prison sentence, while Gavin gets a suspended sentence, a broken family, and long-term debt.
