At the celebration banquet for my husband Ethan’s search-and-rescue team, his drunken deputy captain

At the celebration banquet for my husband Ethan’s search-and-rescue team, his drunken deputy captain slurred with deep emotion: "Nobody puts the greater good above himself like Captain Miller! Knowing his own wife was trapped under the rubble, he still gave the order to dig out his late brother’s widow first!" The fork in my hand trembled. I forced a stiff smile. "Cut it out, Mike. The signal died during the aftershocks. Ethan couldn't detect my location—that’s the only reason he saved Chloe first." Seeing my skepticism, Mike grew agitated and slammed the mission log down onto the table. "Couldn't detect it? Your distress beacon was practically blinding! Captain Miller shut off the receiver with his own hands! He said if his sister-in-law got scared half to death, he’d never be able to face his late brother!" I slowly turned my head toward Ethan. He averted his gaze. "Maya, you’re the spouse of a rescue worker. We had to avoid any suspicion of favoritism. I couldn't let people say I only cared about saving my own wife."#revenge #redditstories #redditreadings #revengestory #reddit_tiktok #askredditstories #relationship #revengereturns #reddit #drama
