No one ever saw this coming, but here we are, bonded forever by the same ex-husband.

Once arched enemies and now partners in crime, we journeyed to the edge of sanity to uncover the dark truth about her ex-husband.

My name is Athena, and I'm Amber, and we are the creators of X-Y's undercover.

This podcast is based on real-life events that are portrayed to the best of Athena and Amber's memory and also backed by court records and other factual evidence.

While all the stories in the podcast are true, some names and identifying details have

been changed to protect the privacy of the people involved.

I'm sure you are all jumping for joy that I finally saw the light. While it sucked to know the truth,

I was relieved to have answers now to the constant red flags that I had experienced with Ben

for the last five years. So here's where we're at now. While I thought that I uncovered a lot,

little did I know that it was just the tip of the

iceberg. At this point, this is the only information that I actually had confirmed. Number one,

Ben was not only living with me in Hillsborough, but that he had kept the townhouse in Bothel,

Washington, that he rented while he was

allegedly sick. Number two, he was cheating on me with Avery, and number three, he did not work at

Nike. What I did not have definitive proof on and could only make assumptions on that he was lying

was that he wasn't raped by Daisy.

And to this very day, years later, he still sticks to this story.

That he never had cancer.

Again, he still, to this very day, does not admit that he wasn't sick.

And I did not know with proof that he didn't have the $21 million.

Now, don't forget, I still did not know anything about Deanna nor the girl from Norway.

I also had no clue that he was embezzling money from his company and pretending to be Athena and her husband on the court-approved parenting plan.
