My Wife Said Our Apartment Was Unfinished ,Her Lover Answered the Door

My wife wouldn't let me visit our apartment. She said the building had stalled mid-construction. Nothing to see but an eyesore.

For three years, her face fell every time the subject came up.

We'd moved to the next city over for higher-paying jobs, renting a place while we threw every spare dollar at the mortgage. All so we could eventually move into the home we'd bought together.

Then last week, a business trip took me through my hometown. On a whim, I turned into the complex.
