“He loves me and I love him. It was a love relationship that wasn’t planned. It wasn’t just a fling or just a sexual relationship.
“He didn’t tell me that he was married at first, he doesn’t wear a ring. A few dates in, I had a feeling something was up so I asked him if he was married.
And he admitted that yes, he had been for 17 years and has three kids."
Though his secret was out, they allegedly continued dating and the Egyptian and Palestinian beauty admitted they began having sex early on into the affair, and would hang out “a few times a week” for several months.
She says Laura finally found out about their affair after discovering "naughty photos" - which were connected to his work computer at the church office while several other co-workers were also present.
But despite claiming "my life is over" and being concerned about losing his job and his wife not forgiving him, she alleges they were intimate once again during an emotional goodbye.
