This story is dedicated to every woman who bears the burden of a dark secret from her past Part I – History Chapter 1 About two hours from home, I stretched in the leather seat. I could see that my wife was reading a book. In the back seat, my young daughter was watching her DVD—or maybe she was sleeping. Her head was down so I couldn't be sure. As I dro...
There's something about a phenomenal movie combined with a beautiful song that makes your insides clench. I took the chance and saw "The Great Gatsby." It's a book that I read in high school and I loved it so much that I refused to watch the film. Somehow Michelle talked me into going with her to the cinema and I heard one of the most riveting songs that hav...
Chapter 19 Frankie Goes to West Hollywood Sometimes, like a Ritalin-deprived preschooler wired on Count Chocula, love sneaks up behind you and bites you on the ass. Or something close to love, anyway. It's not always easy to figure out what exactly that emotion is. Cherie Jaffe lived in a gated mansion in Belair, and also in a beach house in Malibu, becaus...

It had not only been one hell of a day, it'd been one of those days that make you think about changing careers. I wasn't sure that Jase Conrad Investigations had a long future, at least, not if I had many more days like this. Surely, somewhere in Nashville, Tennessee, there was a rich widow who needed a live-in someone to polish her pipes, so to speak. I've...
The Courtship Road, is a little rough I borrowed a plot device in this story from DanielQSteel's A Moment of Clarity, but as he is a better writer than me, I'm sure he won't mind. I read his stuff some years ago, am rereading them now, and find they are as good or better in the re-reading. I recommend his work to you all. Pandybear311 did a fine job editing...
When I wrote the first two parts, I wanted to show meticulous planning from an MBA. Surgical precision. Military precision. Real project management bordering on ...well, some of the comments stated boredom. * In part two, I wanted to show the self-destruction and emptiness of the cheaters. Then the lack of resolution following the aggrieved wife's 'revenge'...
A Loving Wives piece from me. As ever with LW I'm looking forward to any comments the piece may garner. It's always an experience. Simone wants Jake, but he's married. Oops. GA -- Benissa, Spain -- 24th August 2013. One "Look at her, the fat cow." Alison paused with a cherry tomato halfway to her mouth. She blinked and lowered her fork, replying with:...
Chapter 21 Fringe Benefits So, with that resolved, the next time I was getting ready for a trip, I took my time in packing and left my case open on the bed, hoping John would notice some of the things I was taking with me. He always liked seeing me in sexy underwear and until then I had never taken any of his particularly favourite things with me, keeping...
When I was in high school I feel in love with the boy who lived next door. Eric was one year older than me and had always treated me like a sister. We were always close but never as close as I wanted to be. I was so hung up on him that when Eric went to California to go to college I followed him out there when I graduated a year later. I never was able to te...
