Chad met Camille at university and quickly fell in love with her charm and sophistication. After marriage, Camille’s French parents visited regularly, but Chad struggled to understand their French conversations. Frustrated, he invited his friend Nolan, who spoke French, to dinner for company. While they ate, Nolan grew tense and quietly urged Chad to check under the bed.
Confused, Chad followed Nolan’s advice and discovered a black box filled with photos of Camille, nearly naked, and letters to a man named Benoit. Realizing Camille had been having an affair, Chad collapsed and ended up in the hospital. Nolan explained he had overheard Camille’s conversation and suspected something was wrong.
When Chad confronted Camille, she admitted to the affair, explaining it was partly orchestrated by her parents who wanted her with a French man. Feeling betrayed, Chad demanded a divorce. Camille contested everything, including their house and spousal support, but Chad refused it all. He moved on with the help of Nolan and began rebuilding his life, free from the lie he had been living.
