Later, she saw him with their ex-nanny on the \u201cKiss Cam\u201d of a basketball game. After receiving a frustrating text that said, \u201cI can\u2019t talk. I\u2019m at work,\u201d Sarah resolved to uncover the truth. In their cozy home, Sarah tried to coax her young son, Adam, to eat dinner while her husband, Arnold, was absorbed in his smartphone. \u201cCome on, Adam, just eat the salad like a big boy?\u201d Sarah gently encouraged, using her high-pitched voice. Across the table, her husband, Arnold, was deeply engrossed in his smartphone,scrolling through the latest news while absentmindedly enjoying his meal. He was a successful web designer, often preoccupied with work, even during family time. \u201cArnold, could you help me convince Adam to eat?\u201d Sarah asked when her son simply refused. \u201cAdam, listen to your mom, okay?\u201d Arnold replied, not once looking at them. Sarah sighed and employed the ultimate weapon against kids who don\u2019t want to eat their meal: dessert. Finally,her son started chewing vigorously. A sharp beep cut through the room\u2019s quiet as they were finishing their dinner. It was a message on Arnold\u2019s phone. Every time his phone made that sound, it usually meant something urgent from work that couldn\u2019t wait. \u201cYou\u2019re leaving for work again? Now?\u201d Sarah asked, watching him get up and walk to the door. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, honey,\u201d he replied,putting on his jacket. \u201cIt\u2019s the big project, the one I told you about. Tomorrow\u2019s the deadline. I need to check my team\u2019s work.\u201d The door closed behind him, and Sarah sighed. Her son, swallowing the last of his veggies, straightened his back. \u201cMom, Dad forgot! The basketball game is tonight. He won\u2019t be there, will he?\u201d Adam asked, pouting. Unfortunately, Sarah knew Arnold wouldn\u2019t get home in time, so she promised to watch the game with him, smiling widely to hide her disappointment. They were both on the couch a while later, enjoying some basketball. Sarah had made good on her promise of dessert and even gave Adam hot cocoa. \u201cSee, Mom, I want to play like them!\u201d Adam gushed, pointing at the screen. \u201cWait, isn\u2019t that Dad?\u201d \u201cWhat?\u201d Sarah asked, frowning. As the stadium\u2019s camera focused on couples for the \u201cKiss Cam\u201d segment, a fun tradition where people were encouraged to kiss when featured on the big screen, Sarah saw Arnold sitting in the crowd. He wasn\u2019t alone. Beside him was Nancy, their former nanny, a young woman who had spent years working in their home. Sarah\u2019s heart sank. She knew Nancy well; she was around 22 and always friendly, but seeing her there with Arnold was like a punch in the gut. Sarah cleared her throat. \u201cNo, sweetie. It must be someone who looks like him,\u201d she stated, crossing her arms. But inside, she felt a storm brewing. The sight of Arnold with Nancy at the game and the realization that he had lied about working late, hit her hard. Yet, she couldn\u2019t react, for Adam\u2019s sake. \u201cI\u2019ll be right back,\u201d she said, rising from the couch and hurrying to the bathroom with her cell phone. She dialed Arnold\u2019s number, her heart pounding. But instead of his voice, she was met with the repetitive dial tone following a rejected call. A text arrived instead: \u201cBaby, I can\u2019t talk, I\u2019m at work. I\u2019ll be home in the morning. Love you!\u201d Sarah needed to know more to understand what was happening. With trembling fingers, she scrolled through her phone contacts to find Nancy\u2019s number. As she did, her eyes fell on a small detail she had noted long ago\u2014Nancy\u2019s birth date. It was today. Sarah\u2019s mind churned. Is this why Arnold is with her? A plan formed in her head, a way to confirm her suspicions. She sent Nancy a message, trying to sound casual. \u201cHi! Happy birthday! I bought you a present. I want to send it to you by courier. Please send me your address!\u201d Luckily, Nancy texted back. *** The game ended a while later. After ensuring her son was cared for by a neighbor, Sarah set out to observe Nancy\u2019s house. Waiting in her car, her heart raced as she saw the luxurious exterior of the property and a flashy new convertible parked outside with a big bow on the hood. The woman Sarah had known never gave off the vibe of someone with a lot of money. As she was about to drive back home, thinking they were taking too long, Arnold\u2019s car arrived, and she watched in disbelief as they got out together. Nancy began jumping and yelling. Her smile lit up the night as she was lifted into Arnold\u2019s arms. She heard, \u201cThank you, baby! I love you!\u201d Once again, the realization hit Sarah hard, but it was two-fold. First, the convertible was Arnold\u2019s birthday present to Nancy. Second, this was more than a passing affair\u2013they were in love. Sarah\u2019s world shattered. How long had they been together? Had it started while she was babysitting Adam? She may never know. But she knew she couldn\u2019t stay in the car any longer and burst out, running towards Arnold, her hair flying in the wind. \u201cHow could you?! All those nights at work? Was it always her?!\u201d Her screams were loud and wild, breaking the peaceful night. \u201cSarah, please let me explain,\u201d Arnold raised his hands. \u201cNancy, go inside. Let me handle this.\u201d \u201cExplain? What\u2019s there to explain? I saw you on the Kiss Cam! You\u2019ve been lying to me!\u201d \u201cI\u2019m sorry, Sarah,\u201d he started once Nancy was safely inside. \u201cI should\u2019ve been honest with you. The truth is, I love Nancy. I didn\u2019t know how to tell you.\u201d With tears running down her face, Sarah threatened to take everything from him in the divorce. Arnold crossed his arms and sighed. \u201cSarah, I don\u2019t think you remember, but our prenup states that we keep the property in our names in case of a divorce. However, I am willing to offer child support and an additional $100,000,\u201d he offered calmly. Sarah yelled several expletives at his audacity and walked off. At home, she thanked her neighbor, checked that Adam was soundly sleeping, and went to check the prenup. Arnold was right. Their agreement was tight, and there was no fidelity clause. Recklessness took over. Sarah went straight to their safe, put in the combination\u2013their anniversary\u2013and got everything inside\u2014cash, jewelry, etc. She placed everything inside a bag, but as she breathed heavily, staring at the empty safe, taking the stuff didn\u2019t seem enough. Arnold could make more money easily. So, she went to her computer, and in a moment of extreme desperation, she looked for ways to purchase a gun. After a deep dive, Sarah discovered advice on how to get one quickly without a permit or registration. Grabbing her keys and the money bag, Sarah carried a sleeping Adam to her car, knowing she couldn\u2019tleave him alone. She drove to the address she had found online\u2013a mostly empty area with brick-walled factories and flickering street lights. She hadn\u2019t been there long when a young guy, not much older than a teenager, approached her car. He had a wary look in his eyes. \u201cLooking for something special?\u201d he asked, his voice low. \u201cYou won\u2019t find better stuff anywhere else.\u201d Sarah stuttered, \u201cI ne-need a g-gun. With a silencer. Can you get it?\u201d Her heart was racing. She turned back quickly, checking that Adam was still soundly asleep. \u201cDo you have cash?\u201d he asked, raising an eyebrow. she nodded. \u201cWait here,\u201d he said, entering one of the buildings. He returned shortly with something wrapped in a blanket and whispered, \u201c10K.\u201d Sarah nodded and got the money from her bag, exchanging things quickly. \u201cLeave now,\u201d he urged, looking around anxiously. She didn\u2019t have to be told twice. Sarah parked her car near Nancy\u2019s house. Her heart was pounding, and her thoughts were swirling. She turned to Adam, who had woken at last. \u201cStay here. I\u2019ll be right back,\u201d she said, trying to sound calm. She stepped out of the car with the bag in her hands, walked towards Nancy\u2019s house with firm steps, and knocked thrice. After a minute that felt like an eternity, the door opened. There she was. \u201cSarah? What are you doing here?\u201d Nancy asked, swallowing. \u201cI just want to talk. Can we do that?\u201d Sarah said. Nancy nodded and let her inside. Arnold was sitting at the kitchen table, drinking a beer. Sarah didn\u2019t say a word as she sat beside him. After a few tense minutes, she asked, \u201cHow long?\u201d \u201cMonths,\u201d he answered. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, Sarah. I should have told you earlier. I never wanted to hurt you.\u201d \u201cBut you did,\u201d she said, her voice breaking. \u201cWhy her?\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t know. It just happened.\u201d \u201cJust happened?\u201d Sarah asked. No one uttered another word as she raised her voice. \u201cJUST HAPPENED? JUST HAPPENED!\u201d Her nerves destroyed and in a sudden rage, Sarah stood up, the chair scraping across the floor. She reached for the bag she had brought with her, pulled out the gun, and pointed it at him. Arnold flinched back in his chair, raising his hands. Nancy screamed. But Sarah was too far gone. \u201cYou ruined my life! So why should you live?\u201d she demanded and clicked the trigger. But nothing happened. There was no gunshot. She only had one second to look confused before the door burst open. \u201cFREEZE!\u201d Sarah stared at the officers pointing their own guns at her, and she just\u2026 gave up. Her hand went limp, and the loud clash of metal against tile bounced around the room. They surrounded and handcuffed her quickly, and she didn\u2019t put up a fight. The police had been staking out the brick-walled factories, suspecting illegal activity, and followed her after witnessing the purchase. She was led to the squad car where she watched through the window as Nancy and Arnold reached for Adam, who had been taken out of her vehicle by the cops. She heard a loud \u201cMommy!\u201d before the authorities took her away. *** Months later, Sarah stood in court, listening to a judge hand down her sentence. \u201cThis court recognizes the emotional turmoil you have experienced. However, the law is clear, and it must be upheld.\u201d He gave her the minimum required by the state for attempted first-degree murder \u2013 20 years in prison. She turned in the courtroom to see Arnold and Nancy nodding as if relieved. Adam was in Nancy\u2019s arms. Sarah closed her eyes as the guards pulled her away.
