Very much doubt Sonya will be as forgiving to the shallow dipshit of a 'husband'. Imaginative and well smoke-screened for the main. Wonder how he will be able to get back to square one, the one man judge, jury and executioner failed abysmally.
I suspected it when Sonya first opened her mouth to "confess", but the payoff was still good.
Great story from amazing imagination. I would think that someone who had such an extreme makeover would have a visable scar or three.
Hilarious once you see the twist. In reality he was a jerk but was meant as a parody of overreacting btbers. Her ending line had me cracking up.
Interesting twist. But as a general rule, if you're going to fire the big guns, you'd better have AP loaded and be close enough to hit with the first salvo. He was a dumbass to loose the first salvo before getting the results of the DNA tests that were pending.
needed mention of the DNA results to confirm the story... remember the BTB creedo some authors like to haul out... "Trust but verify"
otherwise, good twist.
Like good wine ........
This is a great story You manage to come up with a unique twist That gave the story line up very good feel great story
He couldn't wait another week before rendering judgment. Lol. Good story. Creative and well written.
Great story. Nice twist. Of course in real life he would get a DNA test before going to war.
Second time reading and it is even funnier because I know where it is going.
4 stars and yes, there would have been more than a few faint scars after that much surgery.
There is no such thing as breast augmentation surgery that leaves no scars.
Really? well told, kept the surprise ending well hidden. BUT, he never noticed breast implants or any faint surgery scars?
It is rare in the context of LW for a writer to find a believable premise that actually explains the reason for a husband's suspicions without having the wife do anything wrong. This one was successful-Congratulations.
You got me, I didn't see that coming. However, guy still needs to check the DNA results. How does he know that is really her in those pictures? I know, I know, why does she have the photos if it were not her but he is a suspicious guy.
Wow this reminded me of a article of a dude in china , https://www.wqad.com/article/news/local/drone/8-in-the-air/chinese-man-sues-wife-for-being-ugly-and-wins/526-63b208a8-fc5d-4d1d-9056-00c6698cbeb4
where he sues the wife for not telling him she had over a 100k worth of plastic surgeries to change her looks. All because they had a child that according to him was "incredibly ugly" and looked nothing like the mother or father. BTW he won his case and was awarded 120k for having the woman marry him under false pretense.
I have a few questions as I'm confused
1 - How did he not see the scars on her body all this time, knowing the best surgeons would still leave small scars.
2 - Where is the DNA test? I'd still want that confirmation...
3 - Any relation to her boss? it was implied that the kids noses were similar so maybe she does have family?
4 - Knowing the strength of his love for her why hasn't she come clean to him?
A damn good reason to get all the facts in BEFORE you make your allegations.
2nd read and you still got me. This story is masterfully written - what skill. I never saw that one coming.

6*, Hooyah, salute! to a true Master of the Quill.
Buy agree with comment married that long should not have secret like that
What are you thinking about that beautiful kids became ugly
I'm sure wife will give hubby hell for calling her a cheater. He had every right to doubt her though!!!
Loved it. Great to see a happy ending after a great twist. However, I would have thought after many years of marriage there would have been very few secrets about their past.
I still would wait on those dna reports. But secrets have a way of multiplying, much like lying. With holding the truth is another form of lying.
it is only fiction, would hate to see, a person who is so easy to pass judgement having so little info. go to it english majors. slap hapy papy #9
As soon as they started discussing it I realized what her secret was, but then she actually says it and he is so happy the ugly kids are his it still hit me emotionally.
Great Story!
I never saw it coming the first time I read it and I just enjoyed it again. Great story!
He can't tell doctor tits from real ones? C'mon! Just a little bit too sci fi for me!
LFW is known for original twists, but this one was a doozy.
5-stars.
It's as funny as a fried fart on Friday!....Yes Siree I really liked the story!....so I'm giving You 5 stars★★★★★ WOOF!
Caught me looking with this one. I was expecting the worst, but got a pleasant surprise. Great happy story, a rare thing here.
A husband in China was able to get a divorce from his wife because they had ugly children. It turned out that is wife had plastic surgery on her ugly face. He thought he was marrying a beautiful woman. The divorce as based on her deceitful actions which were not conveyed to her husband prior to the marriage.
There are a few things that can be done for receding chins from fat implants (or grafts, I guess) to a kind of dental brace that pushes the jaw forward to surgery to break the mandible bone and slide it forward a bit.
re:
Is it possible to add bone to a lower jaw to correct a sunken chin and actually make it normal or average? Although pieces of pelvis might be used,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It doesn't actually need to be bone, sea coral has been used as a substitute for bone grafts for many years. The body's natural bone grows into it and absorbs the coral which is calcium.
to add bone to a lower jaw to correct a sunken chin and actually make it normal or average? Although pieces of pelvis might be used, it seems extraordinarily expensive. Then there's the muscle, tendons, and other tissues to be added to cover the new bone and add strength for new bite pattern.
Healing time would be countless months of an IV diet at $1,000 a bag; and no talking. Come on, a woman who couldn't talk for months? That is simply not possible unless she's kept in a coma.
He must be a dolt if he did not know she had breast implants before they met...not really something you can hide from your lover or spouse
Who'da'thunk? Be it the book or the cover? Great story.
Can anybody have secrets these days with social media and the like?? I always look for comments from Harry in Va, he seems to go right in your face with no politically correct filters. Not to demean good old Harry but this was a pleasant surprise to lighten the mood. No Navy Seals or Karate experts to defend the honor in this family in crisis. I am not a writer but a reader who enjoys your efforts. Thank you and please continue. Your writing is very interesting and offers some unique insights.
You really caught me by surprise with this twist. I thought for sure that she was a cheater. I guessed that here comes another cheating slut wife and that her reasons would be the usual...from the 'cheaters' handbook'. I was actually surprised and glad that she wasn't a cheater and had a novel reason for not telling him about her secret.
Thanks for a very twisty, but enjoyable, story.
There really are only so many "twists" in this genre and the same basic plots are rehashed over and over. -
So when you come across something new, it is a pleasant surprise.
Well done. 5 stars.
I dont know why you stoped writing my friend :(
This story is really great.
i don't like a lot of your stories... i don't think you yet have the feel to flesh out your stories so that they become more than just "descriptions" of events... you can write.. but you don't seem to have the feel of a true "storyteller"... but that said... this one was excellent...
More like is it fair to fault someone for not even knowing that there IS a more complicated theory.
People have been convicted of murder on thinner "evidence" than some of these stories present that turns up false.
I mean, what is he going to say, "since our kids don't look like either of us I knew you were hiding your plastic surgeries from me."...? And Just HOW would he have come to that conclusion if he never knew in 11 years...?
No, better to point out their beautiful children (and YES, to him they ARE) looked like neither of them (which IS true) and so he thought what would seem most likely to most people.
Will she be hurt he thought she cheated - not just once but at LEAST twice...? Yep. But it's like a story I read here about a guy who dumped his wife for doing porn, which he knew she did because he saw the pictures - only to find out for the first time... she had a twin sister she'd NEVER told him about.
Is it fair to fault someone for following Occam's razor when they don't know the more complicated theory IS accurate?
Though he maybe COULD leave out the fact that he'd already progressed to the point that he was already doing DNA testing...
What a wonderful twist!
And though I'm usually a stickler for honesty, I think he has to keep what he thought to himself.
There is no need to burden her with his (now) unfounded doubts.
Boy has he got a lot of splainin' to do. Good story. Enjoyed it. Cheers!
Wouldn't that have been a kick in the butt! The drunk was partly right it seems. Good story and writing. Cheers!
I have often thought about this. not on the extreme level of the cosmetic surgery done on the wife in this saga, but to those who have a monumental change they absolutely feel they must alter to be attractive. on this site it is usually an enhancement here or a reduction there but genes will come out in the next generation. the little surprises will appear in the kids as giant detached ears, a bulbous nose, or an absent or leno-like chin, because todays alterations will reemerge when the gene pool regenerates.
as a deputy on a long ago comedy show would say, "surprise, surprise, surprise".
.
That was WAY out of left field! I like it. With all the evidence at hand, he could be excused for jumping to that conclusion. She never told him about what she had done. Some secrets can kill a marriage just as quickly as infidelity.
Luckily, this wasn't one of THOSE secrets. Now he just has to find a way to tell her that it doesn't matter to him, and that she could have told him from the beginning. You fall in LUST with physical appearance, but you fall in LOVE with the person inside.
5 Stars.
