My Husband's 99th Hotel Room

Chapter 1

My husband, Derek Whitmore, was working late when I received a notification about my hotel membership tier upgrade.

"Thank you for your 99th purchase of a couple's room. Your membership has been upgraded to Black Gold status."

"Additionally, you have been gifted one complimentary night in our Presidential Suite, valued at $8,000."

I sat in the room for a long moment before calling him.

"You've been using my card to book hotel rooms, haven't you?"

On the other end of the line, I heard the sound of running water from a shower.

"Yeah, I've been working late today. I'm not coming home—just staying at a hotel near the office."

I hung up and scrolled through the booking history on that card with trembling hands.

Every single reservation was for various themed couple's rooms.

There was a Bunny Cave room, a room with an adult swing set.

Soon after, Derek sent me a text:

"I've been working a lot of overtime lately. I'll make it up to you when I get home, you little temptress."

I replied:

"When you get back, we're getting divorced."
