Dog Hair on His Shirt Exposed His Affair,So I Destroyed HimChapter 1

The moment I spotted the unidentifiable hair on my husband's pants, the blood in my veins ran cold.

Elmer Weiss had told me himself that he'd been bitten by a dog as a child. He hated dogs more than anything.

Yet this was the third time I'd found dog hair on him.

I pinched the tuft of golden fur between my fingers and kept my voice casual. "Where did this come from?"

Elmer froze for a split second, then recovered without missing a beat. "Strays have been wandering onto campus lately. Must've brushed against one on my way through."

He leaned in, pressing a tender kiss to my forehead. "Honey, these pants are dry-clean only. Would you mind dropping them off? I've got an academic conference this afternoon, so I need to head out."

I watched his retreating figure, then pulled out my phone and called my best friend, who worked at a private investigation firm.

"Elmer's cheating. Most likely with one of his students. She feeds strays and owns a golden retriever."

"I need you to gather evidence. I'm divorcing him."

——

Silence.

Then my friend's stunned voice came through. "You're better at this than I am, and I'm the actual investigator. You figured out your husband's cheating from a few strands of dog hair?"

"Divorce isn't something to take lightly. You two have been together seven years. Don't do anything rash!"

I gripped the phone so hard my knuckles ached. My voice came out dry and raw.

"Elmer is a germaphobe. He's never liked animals. He was attacked by a dog when he was little, and whenever we're out walking and a dog comes near, he goes out of his way to avoid it."

I paused. The anger I'd been holding back bled through. "But over the past two months, I've found dog hair on him more than once. The most likely explanation is that his little mistress has a dog, and it gets on him when they're together."

My friend went quiet for a long moment. When she finally spoke, her teeth were practically grinding. "That freeloading piece of garbage. And to think I actually believed he was a decent guy. What a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

"Don't worry, babe. I'm tracking down that shameless homewrecker right now."

Half an hour later, she sent me a message.
