My Ex Came to Take Our Kids’ Toys for His Mistress’s Child – But Karma Didn’t Take Long to Retaliate

The moment she realized there would be no inheritance, her mask slipped. Within weeks, she ended things with Jake, telling him she was not going to waste her time with a man who couldn’t secure his own future.

Jake called me one night, his voice broken. He wanted to tell me his side of the story, but I didn’t care. I didn’t want to hear it.

“Amanda left me,” he said, sounding defeated. “She said I wasn’t worth it.”

“Good,” I replied. “Maybe now you’ll understand how it feels.”

He tried to come back into the kids’ lives after that. He showed up at my door with flowers one evening, his tone suddenly soft, almost pleading. He said he wanted to see Oliver and Mia, and that he wanted to start fresh.

But the damage was done.

Oliver and Mia didn’t run to the door. They didn’t ask when Daddy was coming inside. They just stayed close to me, holding my hands.
