Builder Craig Arnolds returned home from New York to find the locks changed – and six students in his lounge.Wife Laura, aged 42, had packed her bags and gone.
She took the extreme measure after discovering an incriminating message on her partner’s iPhone.
44-year-old Craig forgot his iPhone 6 when on a business trip to America.
When the phone flashed an unknown number, suspicious Laura swooped. The steamy message was from an American woman who described the kind of hot reception Craig could expect in New York. It was then she hatched her revenge plot.
Laura told The Sunday Mercury :
Craig, who now lives in London, described the baffling scene that greeted him at the former family home.“Things aren’t great between us at the moment. I could do it because my parents came up with the deposit for our home and when we struggled with the mortgage, they came in.”
“All the lights were on and the TV was
blaring,” “I remember thinking it was really out of character for Laura
to be up past 11pm. I had no idea what on earth was going on.
“At this point I was
seriously freaked out, jet lagged and frantic – I started banging on the
door and shouting Laura’s name – but was greeted instead by what looked
like a 21-year-old hippie.”
He added: ‘
I noticed all Laura’s furniture was
gone, but the chairs and tables I’d inherited from my late father, plus
my set of golf clubs and vintage radio – which Laura always hated – was
sitting on the kitchen table in all its glory. “She’d included my most
prized possessions in the ‘fixtures and fittings’. I was gutted. I still
can’t get my head around how she did this in the space of a two week
holiday.”
Last time I marry an Italian, that’s for sure.“I made a mistake and paid for it dearly.
“I was very annoyed at first but life is
too short to dwell on these things and I made the decision that for the
children’s sake, we should stop the hostilities there.
