Spouse Arranges Trip To US Military Base To Visit Husband, Discovers His True Identity

Share

Betrayal

Mia couldn’t believe her eyes. Never in her life had she felt so betrayed before. She had poured everything into her marriage with Jonathan.

When Mia White turned up at a US military base in Kuwait, nobody knew what to make of it. But when she started asking for her husband, their jaws fell open.

It wasn’t until she found his room that she discovered the truth. Her husband was a liar, and she was going to get her revenge.

She Was Thrilled

When Mia decided to make the trip out to see her husband, she was beyond thrilled. It had been months since she had seen his handsome face.

Although the flight from Michigan to Kuwait was long and tiring, Mia was certain that it would all be worth it. She was finally going to see the love of her life again.

Mia stepped off the plane with a smile on her face. She found it nearly impossible to hide her excitement. However, as soon as she arrived at the US military base, something changed.

Showing Up

As soon as Mia stepped through the large gates leading into the military base, she noticed the stares from soldiers she had never met before.

Some were smiling and waving politely, while others simply watched from afar, their eyebrows tucked firmly together. But then, her eyes landed on a familiar face.

Landon and Jonathan had worked together for years. She picked up her pace, noticing that he was walking further into the base. “Landon!” she shouted.

A Strange Reaction

She watched as the man paused in his footsteps, looking around himself to figure out who had called his name. That’s when he saw her face.

But the second Landon met Mia’s eyes, his face fell. This confused Mia, but she didn’t think much of it as she ran up to him.

“Hi! It’s so nice to see you again!” she said excitedly, giving the familiar man a big hug. But he didn’t match her optimism. Was something wrong?

A Surprise

“Hey, Mia,” he tried to smile, nervously scratching at the back of his head. He had a deep frown on his face. Perhaps he was just surprised to see her.

“Jonathan didn’t mention you were coming to visit,” he chuckled nervously. Mia assumed his apprehension was because of that fact.

“I wanted to surprise him for Valentine’s Day,” she shrugged, “Do you know where he is?” But that was when things got a little weird.

He Left

Landon opened his mouth to give Mia an answer, but no words came out. It was obvious that he was thinking of the right thing to say, but why?

“Landon?” Mia questioned. Now, she was starting to get worried. She hadn’t spoken to her husband all week. What if something had happened?

“Look, Mia, I have to go,” he said, a glint of sadness behind his eyes before he turned around and walked off, leaving Mia standing there, confused and alone.

She Didn’t Understand

She had to find her husband on her own. She couldn’t understand Landon’s strange behavior, but as she walked from unit to unit, she was certain she could find her husband eventually.

But as she approached a group of small huts, she heard an all too familiar voice. It was her husband, and he was laughing with someone.

She stepped up to the hut, her heart filled with excitement as she pushed the door open. But when she saw what was inside, her heart sank. How could he do this?

She Had No Idea

Pexels

Born and raised in a small town in Michigan, Mia White never thought she would marry a military man. Her dream man was far from a soldier.

Mia always thought she would marry a chef or an English teacher. It was just a gut feeling, but that all changed when she met Jonathan.

The night they met at a neighborhood barbeque was one of the best nights of Mia’s life. She was completely enamored with the man.

The Man

Jonathan was handsome and funny, and on top of that, he listened to every word that left her mouth. She couldn’t believe her luck.

They spent the entire evening together, talking about their hopes and dreams. That was when she learned that Jonathan was a military man.

“I’m here for the next six weeks. After that, I’ll be in Kuwait for a few months,” he explained. Mia was weirdly disappointed to hear that he would be leaving so soon.

Without A Second Thought

That night, Jonathan asked for her number, and she gave it to him without a second thought. By the end of that weekend, he asked her out on their first date.

They spent several days together for those six weeks, and by the end, Mia was certain that she had fallen in love with the soldier.

“I’ll be back before you know it. We’ll call every day, I promise,” he said before kissing her goodbye. Watching him leave was extremely painful.

The Cycle

Pexels

But he was right; those few months passed in the blink of an eye. They called each other at least three times a week, and before she knew it, he was on his way back home.

Mia waited at the airport, and as soon as her eyes found him, her stomach filled with butterflies. He was the man she wanted to be with.

It was during that time that the pair began dating. This cycle continued for an entire year before he finally got down on one knee and popped the question.

The Right Thing

Pexels

Mia was certain that marrying Jonathan was the right thing to do. He’d met her family, and everybody loved him.

They began planning the wedding right away, and Jonathan already knew who his best man would be. His name was Landon, and they had worked together for years.

Love was in the air, and as the months passed, they planned the perfect wedding. Before they knew it, their big day arrived.

The Big Day

That morning, Mia woke up with the widest smile on her face. Finally, she was going to get married to her best friend.

She spent that morning with her family, preparing for the wedding. When she saw her husband on the aisle, her heart swelled in her chest.

He had a wide grin on his face. It was clear that this was one of the proudest moments of his life. Her eyes trailed to the man beside him.

Meeting His Friend

That was the first time she laid eyes on her husband’s best friend, Landon. The wedding was a massive success, and Mia was overjoyed.

That night, they celebrated with all of their family and friends. To Mia, it was the best day of her life. She was always surprised to find out how nice his friend, Landon, was.

However, shortly after the wedding, it was time for Jonathan to take a flight back to the US military base in Kuwait. Mia was extremely sad to see him go.

A Rocky Start

Pexels

The first few months of their marriage were tough. Jonathan was off in Kuwait while she stayed at home, all alone.

All she wanted was to spend her time with her new husband, but now she was home alone as a newlywed. Valentine’s Day was coming up, and she wanted to spend it with Jonathan.

She thought about asking Jonathan to come home for Valentine’s weekend, but then, she had an even better idea.

An Idea

Pexels

What if she flew out to Kuwait and surprised her husband for Valentine’s Day? The night she had the idea, she decided to buy the plane tickets.

Knowing that she would be seeing her husband in just eight days got her through the week ahead. She couldn’t wait to see the man she loved.

That week passed in the blink of an eye, and before Mia knew it, she had stepped foot in the US military base where her husband had been living.

A Familiar Face

Pexels

When she saw Landon’s familiar face right by the entrance, she decided to approach him. “Do you know where Jonathan is?” she asked, smiling.

But there was something different about Landon. He didn’t seem to want to speak to her, and he definitely didn’t want to tell her where her husband was.

This made Mia feel extremely uncomfortable. Had something happened to her husband? She tried to ask Landon again, but he simply walked away.

He Ignored Her

Pexels

Mia couldn’t understand why he was giving her the cold shoulder. They’d gotten on so well at the wedding, but now, he was ignoring her.

In the pit of her stomach, she could sense that something just wasn’t right. She had to find her husband. But was he even there?

She began to wander around the place, her heart beating steadily in her chest. But she wasn’t prepared for what was about to happen.

Strange Behavior

She had to find her husband on her own. She couldn’t understand Landon’s strange behavior, but as she walked from unit to unit, she was certain she could find her husband eventually.

But as she approached a group of small huts, she heard an all too familiar voice. It was her husband, and he was laughing with someone.

The sound of his laughter sent shivers down her spine. For months, she had longed to hear that sound on purpose. But she had no idea what she was in for.

Compassion

Pexels

Mia was about to enter the hut when her eyes found that same familiar face again. Landon was standing just feet away, watching her. But then, she noticed something.

His expression was unlike anything she had ever seen before. Landon was staring at her with compassion in his eyes. What on earth was going on?

Mia was confused. His eyes held a certain kind of sadness she had never witnessed before. It was like he pitied her. But why?

He Said Something

Pexels

“Is everything alright?” she asked him. His eyes diverted from hers to the ground below him. Something just wasn’t right.

She could still hear her husband’s voice as he continued to speak to someone inside the hut. Mia assumed it was one of their fellow soldiers.

But just then, Landon shook his head and said something she never expected to hear. “I should have told you sooner. I’m sorry,” he said.

The Voice

Pexels

That was when Mia noticed something. She could hear the voice from inside the hut that didn’t belong to her husband. It was a woman’s voice.

Her eyes left Landon’s disappointed face as she turned back to the hut. Who on earth was in there with her husband? She had to know.

She placed her hand against the door, her eyes wide as she pushed the door open. But when she saw what was inside, her heart sank. How could he do this? Was it true?

A Punch To The Gut

Canva

The sight that greeted Mia was like a punch to the gut. There, sitting across from her husband, was another woman. They were laughing and talking intimately, completely unaware of Mia’s presence.

A surge of disbelief and anger coursed through Mia’s veins. She couldn’t believe Jonathan would betray her like this, not after all they had been through.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she struggled to comprehend the scene before her.

Cozying Up To Someone Else

Canva

Mia’s heart was pounding in her chest. She peeked into the hut and saw her husband, Jonathan, cozying up to another woman inside of the small hut.

Her eyes welled up with tears as she tried to make sense of what she was seeing. She couldn’t believe that he would cheat on her like this.

Surely there was a rational explanation? Mia decided to bide her time and wait for Jonathan to explain himself. She didn’t want to jump to conclusions or make any hasty decisions.

Emotional Turmoil

Canva

Mia was in a state of emotional turmoil. She had just discovered that her fiance, Jonathan, was cheating on her with another woman.

She needed to know the truth. But she knew that if she confronted Jonathan now, he would only feed her lies.

She was determined to find answers and marched off across the military base to locate Landon. She believed he was the key to solving this mystery.

Confronting Landon

Canva

After searching for a while, she finally found Landon in the mess hall. She was furious and demanded that he explain everything to her.

“You better explain to me what’s going on. I can’t confront him. He’ll only tell me lies,” she said. The bride-to-be was on the verge of collapsing from anger, frustration, and heartbreak.

Landon hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell Mia everything. It was much worse than she thought.

Telling Her Everything

Canva

Jonathan’s infidelity was just the tip of the iceberg. Landon revealed that Jonathan was involved in a complex web of deceit and manipulation.

Mia had unknowingly been caught up in it all. Mia was shocked and devastated by the news. She didn’t know how to react or what to do next.

All she knew was that her life would never be the same again. Landon gently guided Mia to a comfortable seat and sat down beside her.

A Complicated Story

Canva

He took a deep breath and said, “I’m about to share something with you that I probably shouldn’t, but I can see how much you’re struggling, and I think you deserve to know the truth.”

He proceeded to tell her a long and complicated story. It began with their time stationed in Kuwait just a few months ago.

Landon explained that Jonathan had been struggling with the demands of military life. He wasn’t coping very well.

Struggling With Things

Canva

However, Landon was quick to clarify that he wasn’t trying to excuse Jonathan’s behavior. Mia’s eyes flashed a hint of fire as things unraveled.

“He’s more susceptible to the toll that military life takes on our minds than most people,” Landon continued.

“And, unfortunately, he’s been hiding some bad habits from you.” Mia was stunned to hear this. She had always thought that Jonathan would never do this to her.

Hiding Bad Habits

Canva

He was a model soldier and a devoted husband. But Landon was far from finished with the story yet.

“He’s had a drinking problem for over a year now,” Landon said softly. “He’s been very good at hiding it from everyone, including you.”

Mia felt like the ground had been pulled out from under her. She couldn’t believe that her husband had been leading a double life for so long.

Where It All Started

Canva

But Landon knew that he had to keep going. There was still more that Mia needed to know about her husband.

Landon recounted a story to Mia that left her feeling like she was in a horror movie. He shared a memory of when they were stationed in the area before.

One night, they were drinking at a local bar when a woman began to flirt with Landon. Despite his initial refusal due to being married, the woman’s persistence paid off.

Giving In

Canva

Landon eventually gave in to her advances. Mia’s heart sank as she listened, feeling betrayed and hurt.

Landon acknowledged that he had always felt guilty about it. But it didn’t change the fact that he had cheated on her.

Tears streamed down Mia’s face as Landon handed her a handkerchief and apologized for everything. But he had no idea what Mia was about to do next.

She Had To Confront Him

Canva

But instead of wallowing in self-pity, Mia knew what she had to do. She had to confront her husband.

She had to let him know how much he had hurt her. Landon was surprised by her determination, but he also felt guilty for what he had done.

Together, they walked through the military base. Landon waited outside while Mia stormed in to give her husband a piece of her mind.

Overhearing Something Terrible

Canva

It was a difficult conversation. But one that needed to happen if they were going to move forward.

When they finally arrived outside of the hut, she watched from a distance as Jonathan and the other woman continued to talk and laugh inside the hut, oblivious to Mia’s presence.

But what she found out next shook the foundations of her life. As she was waiting, she overheard a conversation between the two of them that revealed the truth.

Sneaking Around

Canva

He had been seeing this woman for months, lying to Mia and sneaking around behind her back. It broke her heart into a thousand pieces. “I’m so glad that I get to see you whenever you come back. Otherwise, you barely talk to me on the phone because of your wife,” The woman had the audacity to say.

Mia’s heart shattered into a million pieces. She realized that the man she had loved and trusted for years had been living a double life. She couldn’t believe that she had been so blind to the signs. The tears that had been welling up in her eyes now flowed freely down her cheeks.

She had to confront Jonathan about what she had overheard. Needless to say, she knew that their marriage was never the same again. The trust between them had been shattered beyond repair. It wasn’t going to be easy, but Mia knew that she deserved better than a man who would cheat on her and lie about it.

How Could He?

Canva

It was Valentine’s Day and this was what he was greeted with. Her husband was cozying up to another woman. How could he do this to her?

And in front of everyone who knew that he was married. Did he have no shame? She felt so embarrassed.

She realized now that this was the reason why everyone was looking at her in a strange way. They all knew what was going on.

Humiliated

Canva

She felt so humiliated. Landon tried to take her away from the scene, but she refused to leave.

She wasn’t going to leave until she humiliated him as well.

She wanted him to feel what she was feeling. It was the worst feeling ever, and she wouldn’t wish it on her worst enemy, but she wanted Jonathan to feel what he was doing to her. He was not going to get away with this.

Throwing Everything Away

Canva

She hated to hear the giggles of this woman. Jonathan was clearly whispering sweet nothings to her. That’s what he used to do to her. And now it was all gone.

Her husband chose to throw their marriage away. She should have known that this was going on.

How could she have been so stupid? She should have known when the calls became less frequent.

Undying Love

Canva

Then she could hear his voice as he promised to love her. This broke Mia’s heart.

He was declaring his love to another woman. Did he even love her anymore?

What had become of him? How long has it been going on for him to declare his undying love to another woman? Mia needed to know.

Realization

Tears immediately sprung to her eyes when she found her husband. The second he saw her face, his skin paled.

She had arranged a surprise visit to spend Valentine’s Day with the man she loved, but it seemed his secret girlfriend had done the same.

They were on his bed, chatting and holding each other. Mia felt like she was going to be sick to her stomach. But that day would have more surprises than one.

How Long?

Pexels

From the moment she met him, Mia thought Jonathan was the closest thing to perfection she had ever seen in her life.

But now, she knew better. He was a cheater and a liar. She wondered how long he had been seeing other women behind her back.

She thought back to what Landon had said. He should have told her sooner. Did he know about this before the wedding?

Storming In

Canva

Mia stormed into the hut and locked eyes with her rotten husband and his mistress. “I cannot believe you would do this to me.”

She said as she pulled off her engagement ring and threw it at him. But she wasn’t done yet. Things had only just started.

“Save your excuses,” She screamed, “I have only ever been good to you, and you treat me like this. I can do so much better than you.” It was clear then that things were very much over.

She Had Something To Say

Canva

Jonathan didn’t even get to say anything before Mia was exploding on him, and rightfully so. She wasn’t going to let him weasel his way out of this.

But then something happened that took her by surprise. Out of nowhere, the secret girlfriend decided to open her mouth.

But what she said would have Mia go berserk. How dare she even speak to her in the position they were in?

Loved Her More

“Don’t talk to him like that. I’m sorry that you’re old news, honey. He loves me now,” Mia heard come out of the woman in the corner.

The audacity of the woman had no end. Mia even noticed how taken aback Jonathan was by it.

“How dare you. You know what? I think you both deserve each other,” Mia said, getting ready to leave forever. But Jonathan piped up for the first time.

Betrayal

Mia couldn’t believe her eyes. Never in her life had she felt so betrayed before. She was so in love with him, and now she knew that it meant nothing.

“Mia,” Jonathan said breathlessly. It felt like his throat was swelling shut as he stared up at the woman he’d claimed to love so much.

Mia raised a hand, stopping him from saying another word. “I will be filing for a divorce as soon as I get home,” She said, and she meant it.

Tension

Canva

Shock and disbelief rippled across Jonathan’s face as Mia’s words hung heavily in the air. He tried to reach out to her to explain, but Mia wouldn’t hear any of it.

The room felt suffocating, filled with tension and the weight of broken promises. Jonathan’s secret girlfriend shifted uncomfortably, realizing the gravity of the situation.

But Mia didn’t spare her a glance. Right now, her focus was solely on the man who had shattered her trust into a million irreparable pieces.

Anguish

Canva

As Mia turned to leave, her heart heavy with anguish, Jonathan finally found his voice. “Mia, please,” he pleaded, desperation lacing his words. “Let me explain. It’s not what you think.”

But Mia couldn’t bear to listen. She couldn’t bear to hear any more lies or excuses. She shook her head, her expression a mixture of pain and determination.

“There’s nothing left to explain,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “You made your choice, Jonathan. And now, I’m making mine.”

Devastated

Canva

With that, Mia stormed out of the hut, her footsteps echoing in the silence that followed. She didn’t look back. She couldn’t bear to see the devastation written all over Jonathan’s face.

Outside, the world seemed surreal, as if it had shifted on its axis. Mia stood alone, the bitter taste of betrayal still lingering on her tongue.

But amidst the turmoil, a fire ignited within her. She refused to let Jonathan’s betrayal define her. She would rise from the ashes of her shattered dreams, stronger and more resilient than ever before.

A Whirlwind Of Emotions

Canva

As Mia made her way through the military base, her mind raced with a whirlwind of emotions. Anger, sadness, and disbelief battled for dominance within her.

But beneath it all, there was a flicker of determination. She refused to let this betrayal consume her. She would find a way to heal, to move on, even if it meant starting over from scratch.

With each step she took, Mia felt a newfound sense of empowerment coursing through her veins. Jonathan’s deceit may have blindsided her, but she refused to let it break her spirit.

Shattered Remnants

With her head held high and her heart heavy with resolve, Mia walked away from the military base, leaving behind the shattered remnants of a life she had once cherished.

But in that moment of devastation, she also found a glimmer of hope—a promise of a new beginning, forged from the ashes of betrayal.

And as she looked towards the horizon, she knew that no matter what lay ahead, she would emerge from this trial stronger than ever before.

Landon Was There

Jonathan called Mia’s name as she stormed out of the hut, tears streaming down her face. As soon as she got out, Landon was standing there, waiting for her.

The second she walked toward him, he embraced her in a tight hug. “Did you know about this?” she cried.

Landon nodded. “I found out a few weeks after the wedding. I am so sorry. You deserve so much better,” he said.

A Helping Hand

Pexels

Landon took Mia toward the hut he stayed in and let her have a seat on one of his chairs. She was a sobbing mess while he was furious.

She was grateful to have a friend like him who could help her during this time. “I loved him so much. I thought he was perfect,” she cried.

Landon didn’t say too much, but he remained close, comforting the woman he’d only met once or twice. When he learned the truth, he knew Mia was too good for Jonathan.

Going Home

Later that day, Mia left and got on a plane back to the US. Her heart was torn to shreds, and she couldn’t believe how her trip had ended.

She couldn’t stop thinking about Jonathan and the beautiful woman by his side. She always thought it was too good to be true, and it was.

Jonathan tried calling a few times, but she refused to answer the phone. As far as she was concerned, it was all over for them.

Time Passed

The next day, she spent her day in bed, crying and processing what had happened. Around noon, she made the decision to call a divorce lawyer.

Jonathan wouldn’t be home for a few more weeks, and she was grateful for this. She didn’t want to see his face anytime soon.

As the months passed, she settled her divorce with the man she once loved. He tried again and again to get her back, but he was too late. She wanted nothing to do with him.

Moving On

Pexels

As time passed, Mia slowly learned how to move on from what had happened. It hurt, but it taught her a lot about life.

She moved into a place of her own and slowly began rebuilding her life. But one day, the unexpected occurred.

When she heard the knock on her door, she wondered who it could be. But as soon as the door swung open, she found Landon with a bouquet of roses in his hand. That was the start of her next chapter.

A New Beginning

Mia was taken aback by the sight of Landon standing at her doorstep with a bouquet of roses. Her heart fluttered with a mix of surprise and gratitude.

“Landon, what are you doing here?” she asked, her voice laced with curiosity and a hint of hope.

He offered her a warm smile. “I just wanted to check on you, make sure you’re doing okay,” he said softly.

Gratefulness

Mia felt a surge of gratitude wash over her. Despite everything that had happened, Landon was there for her, offering his support without hesitation.

“Thank you,” she whispered, tears welling up in her eyes once more. It meant more to her than words could express.

Landon was the perfect gentleman and a great friend. She didn’t know what she would do without him.

A New Friendship

As they sat together, sipping on cups of tea, Mia found herself opening up to Landon in a way she hadn’t before.

There was a sense of comfort in his presence, a feeling of understanding that she hadn’t felt with anyone else.

In the midst of heartbreak, a new friendship blossomed between them, built on a foundation of trust and empathy.

Moving Forward

In the days and weeks that followed, Mia leaned on Landon for support as she navigated the complexities of starting over.

With his encouragement, she began to rediscover herself, finding strength in her resilience and courage in her vulnerability.

Together, they embarked on a journey of healing and growth, supporting each other every step of the way.

A New Chapter

As the wounds of betrayal slowly healed, Mia found herself embracing the opportunity for a fresh start.

With Landon by her side, she faced the future with renewed optimism and determination.

And as she looked ahead, she knew that whatever challenges lay in store, she would face them with courage and grace, for she had learned that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope for a brighter tomorrow.
