This story is an attempt to rewrite a story that I had read a long time ago. The other story was written in Hindi and didn't delve into the characters as well but the plot stuck in my mind. I am making an attempt to write a story from the woman's perspective for the first time; hoping that it turns out ok. Just like my other stories, please be warned that...
Chapter 1 My wife, Juanita, set across the breakfast table from me, just as we had for the last twenty-four years of our married life. It was a Thursday morning in late September and the leaves of the trees in our backyard had begun to turn various shades of yellow and tan. She was enjoying that view through the window of our breakfast nook, while I read th...
Author's Notes: This is a short cheating fiancée story where the players are of a working class world. 'Half of all marriages end in divorce' is a truism, but no one talks about the OTHER half.

Most of the people we interacted were our family friends or some business acquaintances; we didn't have any close relatives who stayed in our area. Also, the social gatherings happened mostly at the club we visited regularly. I knew q...
It was a private island, not very large, one of the Keys; few went near it. Some said it was haunted, others mentioned secret government experiments; very nasty things happened there, or so people said. Hardly surprising given who used to own it. Dr. Armand Porneau: the Mozart of genetic research; submitted his first patent while in his teens; was a multi-...

On the twin's eighteenth birthday, their wealthy father said that he would give $50,000 to Bob for graduation because Bob had strong moral character.

My name is Dr. Moreno Mezzo, I am a surgeon, my age -when this story took place- was around 29, and I was just in the second half of my residency in a surgical institute.
