Nothing could have prepared Shannah for what she just saw. Her husband and this woman were checking into a local hotel together. Ezekiel told me he would be working late but I guess he made a stop first. After 6 faithful years of marriage to Ezekiel, I find text messages and phone numbers to this random chick (or so I thought). I know I shouldn’t have gone through his phone, but his strange behavior made me suspicious, so I began following him. I saw with my own eyes what had been distracting him. My whole life crumbled right before my eyes. What about our children?  What about the vows we took?  After all I have done for him, and this is how he thanks me. I was ANGRY!  In the middle of my madness, Desmond sends me a message on social media. What a convenient time for my ex-boyfriend to try to get in touch with me. Will Shannah forgive Ezekiel or get even?
