I HAD a sizzling affair, with amazing sex, but the girl made a fool out of me. I fell for her lies and she fleeced me for thousands of pounds.
I was 29 and she was 25 when we first got together at a party three years ago. I was in Dubai on my own for work but was married — and still am. I realise I should have known better.
I love my wife and we have two smashing kids, but I was drawn to that girl like a magnet. We met up again and had sex at my hotel.
It was brilliant — the best ever. After that we met up every month for a couple of years.
Then she said she had met someone new who was free.
They got married and she got pregnant. I was hurt but I wished her the best. Later, she sent a text saying she had a miscarriage. I was heartbroken for her but what could I do?
Then she emailed saying she needed heart surgery. She said she loved me and wanted me with her. I wanted to be with her too but by that time my wife had twins on the way.
She had five operations and with no healthcare cover, I sent money to help her out with the costs.
It was hard that I couldn’t be with her. Then she got pregnant again but that ended in a miscarriage too.
In the end we met up once again. Our love now felt stronger than ever and we agreed that we woud both leave our partners as soon as we could.
But then she told me she had developed cancer. She needed money for treatment, so I forked out yet again. I never once doubted her word.
When she said the cancer had spread, I was so devastated that I contacted one of her friends.
Her friend said that there was no husband, no heart condition, no cancer and no miscarriages. She even earns more than me.
I have emails as proof of her lies and the money she’s had, but she said if I try to cause trouble she’ll contact my wife.
DEIDRE SAYS: You were taken in by her hard-luck stories but, as you say yourself, you really should have kept out of her way from the start.
Yes, the attraction was strong – but you could have said no. It’s your wife I feel sorry for most.
That woman won’t make it easy to reclaim your money. Why would she? Even with proof of what happened you’ll have a hard battle to fight.
If you want to pursue a case for blackmail, talk to the police.
Action Fraud can also help to advise you (actionfraud.police.uk, 0300 123 2040) but I wouldn’t get your hopes up too high.
In future, give your wife and children the time and attention they deserve
