If you think it was waste of time writing on that old story no need to read it, ignore it. Dont be to harsh while judging. No Sex. Jonathan sitting there on chair thinking about what lawyer had said to him. He was in dilemma. He could not divorce his wife. He could not stay married to her. He could not hurt her. How could he end this pain? A thought crossed his mind. He got up from his chair, went to drawer where they had kept gun. He picked the gun, pointed it to his head, and then he thought about his family, his wife, and what happened in last two days, he wanted to remember everyone he loved, his wife, his kids...his kids...what about them...what is going to happen to them...how would they take death of their father...he had not been there for them for some time but no one can love them as much as he love them..Would the new man Susan loves will love them too. Will Susan care enough for them after he is dead? Of course she would, she is their mother. But her lover matters to her more, more than him, her husband of 15 years, could he matter more than their kids. As these thoughts crossed his mind, he became more and more worried about his kids. What would happen to them, who will care for them? He could not rely on Susan's lover, the creep who need woman's skirt to hide when he was supposed to fight his depression. No, a low life like him could never be good for his daughters. No he could not afford to die, he has to live, and he had to live for his kids. More he thought more depressed he got. He has no choice, but he can't live like this. He has to do something. He has to do something for their kids. But, what can he do? Susan has closed all the doors. He could not do anything. No that is not true, he can do but he cannot afford to get his kids suffer. Susan never once thought about them, if she had she would have not said what she said that night. He has to do something. Something soon, otherwise it would kill him. He has to make sure his kids live happily in this family. But he could not allow his wife to have lover while they are married. He has to come up with something, something he needs to do for his family. He spent his whole day thinking about it. Finding numbers and contacts and making calls. It was 5 in the evening when Susan pulled in driveway. Jonathan was sitting on chair, when she entered. He was calmer than before, quitter, and ...seemed sad. "Jonathan I sorry the way..." were the words got out of mouth when she was interrupted by him. "Save it, save it for later. Susan. You might not feel the same way after I tell you what I am going to do.", He said in very calm and cold voice. He directed his hand to tell her to sit against him on chair. "Last time it was you telling me, how this is going to be, but today it is my show, I will tell you what I am going to do. ", he was cold as ice, what was he going to say. He stood up, turn his back towards her. "You said I am fat, I am bald, and I am unattractive. I can't even find a woman for one night stand", Susan remember those things , but hearing it now when in right mind, now she knew what she had done, she had hurt him, very bad, but.. "But I didn't mean those things Jonathan, I said..." Jonathan didn't let her complete her sentence. He was not interested in anything she has to say. "It does not matter, what you meant Susan, I know I am fat, bald and unattractive, so will you in few years, And I hope you lover will say same thing to you, you said to me, I think you said He is younger, and day will come when he will see you as you saw me. And I hope you will be as much hurt as I was. You were probably right, about attracting a girl. So you see Susan, all things you said, were true. So it does not matter what you meant. Only thing matters is YOU SAID THOSE, and You said those to hurt me, I am hurt, I know I am all those things you said but Susan it hurts to listen them from someone you love, someone you could die for, someone who promised to love you for whole life, for better and worse", he stopped. A drop from his eye on his cheek. But he could not let it be seen. Susan could sense he was hurt, probably beyond repair. The damage she had done she might never be able to repair. But she still loved him. Didn't she? "But Jonathan, I still love you...", again interrupted by him. "Stop that crap already, Susan, will you?" "You can think whatever you want, you may think you love me, or you can pretend to get what you want, but all you want from me is someone to pay for you, this household. So that you can have your fun with younger and skillful lover. Never use that word again in front of me, I swear I will...." he felt gaze building inside him. But he could not let that happen, he has to be calm. He needs to finish this. "So, Susan, as you said you will continue having sex with your lover, and you said I have to sit in the house while you having fun with your low life creep", listening these words from him and like that sounds sleazy and he demeaning Rich. "Jonathan, he is not bad person, he is very kind and considerate, he is just hurt," she just started but just too interrupted. "Oh come on Susan, you can't believe, he is good person, I can agree with you he is handsome, and better than me in bed, but don't sell this bullshit about being a good man, And for being him hurt and you being earth mother to help some guy by giving him you body, body you promised in front of god to be mine and mine only, you can cross yourself also from my book of honest person. That is only thing making you believe he is good person. Two low-life creep thinking highly of each other" "And don't act so highly in front of me. Show you're this side to someone who does not know about you warming someone else's bed for a year, you bad-mouthing your husband, while he is killing himself with work so that his family would have everything they need. Not, so that his wife can play house with some low-life creep. When she was supposed to love his husband only, she is been spreading her love to some other basted, like a cheap whore" "JONATHAN? I WONT ALLOW THAT..." she was angry, how he could call her so many names. "JUST SHUT UP BITCH, IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOU ALLOW OR NOT ANYMORE....this is last time I am talking to you, NO...I am telling to you what I am going to do, If you don't want to listen, then don't be surprised when things happen, and don't say I did not warn you." She heard it, she has to listen what he wanted to say, he said it was last time, is he going to divorce her, but she did not want divorce, why he could not understand. It will be over, and they can go back to the way they were. It is nothing to with him. "Jonathan, It does has to be this way, I still love you...", again she was interrupted. "Take your love to your lover and ask him to shove to up in your ass." she was shocked, how could he talk to her this way, she was mother of his children. But she could not say anything; it was his show she has to listen. "Susan, things you said, you said to hurt me. Which are the only thing matters now, You WANTED to hurt me, it is not someone who loves you do, but you did those things, Cheating on me was not enough for you and your lover you wanted to rub it on my nose. You and that low-life bustard." "You can tell me how good person he is, But Susan all you will say does not change the fact that he destroyed my family, Because of him, I lost my wife, Because of him my wife does not care for me and hurt me, Because of him, my kids will suffer, because of him my wife does not even care about my kids." "Jonathan how dare you say," was the word came out of her mouth. "Shut up you bitch..." anger was coming out, but he did not want to he has to be calmer."Susan,, you don't see the things I am seeing, You said you love me, you might but what I see you love him more than you love me, if you do at all, And kids, when you said you will divorce me, to let me live on street, and to suffer my whole life, but can't stop seeing him. You proved he matters more than I ever did to you. But you must know Susan you will suffer too, but more than anything my kids will suffer too, they will be living without both parents. So Susan, you cared for this creep more than your own kids. You can say he was sick, and you wanted to save him, But if it was me I would like to die before doing this to a family." "Thousands of people die in this country every day, one more will not cost anything to this world, but how many wants to live at cost of destroying a family, very few, and very low-life bastards, like your stud boy, and slut like you let that happen.." "DO I love you? Yes more than you could ever imagine. Do I want to hurt you? You have no Idea how much. Will I hurt you? Never Susan never, and that is the worst part of this. But I can let my kids suffer. They need both parents. I won't let that low-life creep come into my kid's life." She sat there listening to each words, could someone be so hateful. So cold, what is he going to do, could he hurt her more than he already had with his hateful words? Room was silent for a while; no one spoke for a moment. It seemed to be longest moment. "Susan, as much I love you I can live with you now, knowing how much you hurt me, it is impossible for me to live with you. Now Susan listens to me and listens carefully." She came out of her thought, he was calm again. He seemed to be resolved. He had already thought what he was going to do. "I am divorcing you Susan," "You can't do that, I will take you to cleaners, you will have nothing, why are you doing this, why can't you just let me do this and ...he takes nothing from you, It has nothing to do with you, I love you as much." "You can fight as much you want, but as I told you and our kids will suffer to, If pushed I might quit working, then you can shove plan you and you sleazy lover made, shove up your ass. You will get nothing from me, I will suffer, but I will not let you and you Lover are happy at my cost." "What! Now who is neglecting the kids, how they supposed to live on, you don't think work will affect them too" "Oh Susan, you are the one thinking about kids? Don't give me bullshit about how much you care about them. I have though all of this, I making a proposal here, you can do whatever you want with you lover, but" BUT, you will not bring him in my house, until you marry him, I don't want my kids to think it is okay to have two husbands. My daughter will go through this like nothing happened you hear this? SUSAN? There is no negotiation where kids are concerned; as much as I love you I will kill you if that bastard came near my kids." "And about money, don't worry about that, if you care about our kids, you won't fight any thing, and you will have to trust me I love them to death, and I will take care of them, they will NOT SUFFER. But I won't be paying for you. You have to go to work after sometime. This way we both will have what we want, you have you lover, and I will have freedom." "Why? Why are you doing this, I don't want divorce, He does not want to marry me, Even I don't want to marry him, he is lot younger than us" "Susan, it does not matter what you want anymore. This is what I want, I don't want to live with you, I want go out from this relation with you, without anymore hate. And please do me this last favor; do not make me hate you more than I really do." "Jonathan..." "And one more thing, when we divorce, we will suffer for finance, I don't care about you but I don't want my kids to suffer, so I am suing you Lover for alienation of affection." "You ant do that? This is no fault state" "Oh Susan, Your stud is not as smart as you think, no fault-state means you will get half of everything weather you cheated or not, but he could be named as responsible party for destroying my marriage and make my kids suffer financially. Since he is not going to marry you, he will be charged for alienating of affection. This is pay time. He might lose his job; no-one will want to do anything with him anymore except you. Again and you will be the reason for his condition. His carrier as lawyer will be over I hope. " "You can't do that to him, he has done nothing wrong to you. I will deny everything; you don't even know his name." "Oh Susan, I knowing him, How long you think you can hide that from me. How long Susan. I am filing for divorce tomorrow, it will take months to finalize, I can find him in that time, who knows when you go to meet him, someone will see you and tell me where he lives, or someone will see you with him and tell me, who he is, somehow Susan Somehow I will know, You better warn him in advance." "Why do you want to destroy him, because of your stupid ego, is that it? Your ego?" "Oh come on Susan, you can't be that stupid, I am not doing anything because of ego, Listen, I am going to divorce you, My kids going to suffer financially, I just want them to be secure, which would be impossible with my handling two households, so I am doing this for my kids, This is only fair, It has nothing to do with you, you won't be hurt, beside he has you, he won you didn't he. You don't worry about kids? I am doing this for them Susan, not because he stole my wife, you are damaged good, Susan, I don't want to be with you , I last two days what you told me, I came to know It is good thing we are going to split, we are two different people Susan" "How can you...I still love you..." "Susan...." he said with anger, he warned her not using that word again. But he is talking to her last time," may be in your way, or you think you do, but what I see, you don't love me. We are two different people Susan. To me I hold my marriage vows higher than anyone else. But you kept life of your lover higher than your Marriage vows. To me you love only you wife, and you wife supposed to love you once you are married. But Susan, think it is ok to have two husbands, or love two men. I don't blame you Susan for what you think, but if you force me to be involved, that is too much for me to accept. I am leaving kids with you I think they need mother, and I won't be able to look after them, as I will be working even harder to make living for them, Than to you lover." "Jonathan....?" she tried to reach him, but he stopped her. "No Susan, everything is said, and Please Don't come between me and him, it is between him and me, nothing to do with you, you might not be hurt by losing me, but I am, and my children are also hurt by his action, and it is only fair if he pays for that. And please Susan do not fight for divorce or in divorce to get more than I am willing to give, you don't need to worry about me supporting kids, I will send them more than I have to according court settlement. And beside everything I will be doing will be for them from now on. You must believe that." They stood there for which seemed to be longest time. Nothing was being said. Susan thinking what he had said. He was right he was hurt, she could not stop him. He will support kids, whatever the end is. It might be easier way or harder way. She does not need to worry about kids. But what about her, she does not want divorce, but he does not to do anything with her anymore. Will she have Rich when she needed him? She was there for him when he needed her. She risked her marriage and family for him. What would he do now, Jonathan is going after him. No one is going to stop him. How could she be so stupid? Why did she feel the need to tell him? "I am going Susan, take care of my kids, And Don't let that creep come in my house, I repeat your lover should not come to this house, I am only going to hurt him financially but if came near my kids I will make him suffer, physically. You can meet him anywhere except in this house. And you will help me find him, when you meet him so be careful, eventually I am going to get his name, and name is all I need know." "You can't prove anything Jonathan, I will deny in court I have any affair with Rich", Suddenly she felt upper hand, she had discussed everything with Rich, "You can only name him, but need to prove that I am having affair with him, he is Lawyer Jonathan, he told me you need some proof to divorce me on the basis of Adultery, although it is not going to help you financially." "Susan, why do you want to fight this, it is over between us, why do you want to waste money , you know I will spend every penny I have in this case, so you will have nothing eventually, it will be better if we use that money for our kids future. And you are going to have him, your great lover, as long as you want him, or he wants to fuck a cheating whore, and I don't think he is going to marry you if he is as smart as you told me" "What you don't think I am desirable? I can find..." "Well Susan...you can do whatever you want, You don't need to tell me anything, all I wanted to do was make sure you don't fight me, no listen to me, it is in your hands, you fight me, things will go out and everyone will know, once they know you were cheating on me and you had no reason to cheat on me, you cheated on me because some miserable beggar was dying, not behaving like a man should, and you decide to make him man by warming his bed, what you think people will say or think about you, no one will want marry you, yes you are desirable, but look at me, I am fat, bald , and I love you, but Do I want to be married to? No Susan. Once A cheater always a cheater. And I will make sure everyone knows about you cheating on me. This is no-fault state Susan, and No-one who will know about how you took everything from me will want to put himself in my position. And beside there are very few people out here who thinks you are honest and very right person to help some dying bastard by letting him cum in your pussy." "You see Susan, when a man is depressed he probably get drunk, and grieving man often goes to prostitute to forget their pain, and you are no better than them, only difference is you are so cheap that he did not even need to pay you for your worthless pussy. And you were so stupid to throw away you marriage for that sleazy ball." "And about marrying you, Susan, he is a lawyer, ha knows you cheated on me, how easy it was for him to make you a cheater, they why would do want to marry a cheater, once a cheater always a cheater, he must know this, And Susan I think he is already tired of you, he just wanted to experience humiliating me" "No he did not" "So tell me Susan, why he would think I will be okay with this, either he wanted you all for himself, or he was risking you to humiliate me. As I know he also knows this is No-fault state so he won't make mistake of marrying you, you might be his slut for rest of your life if you wish. And proving it to others Susan, You did not notice but whatever we discussing now is being videotaped," "What? You bastard..." she almost lost, "Why Jonathan....why...you trapped me. It does not have to be this way" "Why? Susan Why? Very good question. Susan, ask the same question to yourself. When you find out tell me and I will tell you mine answer." "I will make sure everyone see this tape if fight me, otherwise I am going to use it only for your lover." "Jonathan.....I thought you loved me, why would you..." "I told you, you ask yourself why YOU did THIS to me", He stood there his hands on her soldier, shaking her while asking why. "I said more than I wanted, I leaving now, do what you want to, I Don't care but take care of kids. Otherwise...I will..." "Enough...I am leaving now, I had already packed my stuff. Call me if kids need anything, I will be in touch with them, but please try not speak with me in future, I will talk to kids, don't worry I will not say anything to them, unless you want to tell them, they will know nothing you sultriness." Something We Need To Talk About Ch. 02 Hello Readers, I am back with my , next installment, I don't mind bad comments, but again, if you already read my first installment , and were convinced that I should not write more, so good news for you is that, now Lit has new policy, that readers who does not want to read a story wont be be forced to read. And those who wants to read please comment and tell me where i did wrong, This time I also contacted Editor, but he had been quite a busy, he also helped me in first part after submission, and I am trying to resubmit that part again, if i found a way to do that. And again, I know my English is not professional, as it is not my primary language, but it was not that bad, as it appeared in first, my mistake was , not looking on it after auto-check by Ms-Word, Yes there were many pronoun mistakes, but none of the words was out of English dictionary, If you miss some letter in word application would correct it to first best fit, so it corrected spelling but meaning of line did not remain same. As you had seen. Again those who wanted me to improve, and wanted to see next can read it. Hope you will point out my mistakes, friends I am really trying to improve. It may be very hard for some readers, to understand it, so Best of Luck. Jonathan in motel room, looking outside from window. Thinking about all happened in last two days. What happened to his happy family? Can he do something to keep his family from falling apart and save his own pride? What could he do? His plan had worked so far. Some of what he said to Susan in their last conversation was made up. No doubt she would confirm it with his lover. But would he come forward or just show his back to her. Or they will just cool down and wait for him to make move. One thing which he was sure about, if they will drag it, it would cost all of them. They will be exposed to everyone. But they will surely cool down for some time, before they knew what is to going to hit them. Yes they will pay for what they did to his once a happy family. Everyone, he was angry at everyone, his wife, her lover, their colleague who helped them, and were happy, even now when they know she is married they think there would have to be some good reason? They could be right? How could someone be right and hurtful at same time? Only thinking about what that female lawyer had said to him, about being possibility of any good behind their affair, and being it right just because he lost his wife, and him being unable to do anything about him, was making him more angry. He was angry at legal system, damn this law; he does not need this system. ---- Susan was lying on her bed, crying. How did this happen. She had a family, not happiest but happy family. A husband who was working hard to get everything his family needed. She risked her marriage to save a man, fell in love with him, and now, when she needed help, he is turning his back to her. She had everything a husband, a family, she thought the two man who she thought loved her, now no one was with her, they are not fighting for her. They are fighting because of her. What can she do? She felt sorry for herself. She cant do anything, Jonathan is right fight will only hurt all of them. Why make him suffer? He take care of kids, she has no doubt about that. But what about her? She does not want divorce. She wants he husband, but can she break up with Rich, she was sure earlier that she could not but now after that call, she is not sure at all. She loves Jonathan but also loves Rich, sex with Rich is something she think she needs. But she does not want to lose Jonathan. She was confused, angry, sad. Perhaps it right thing to let Jonathan go. Why keep him in a relationship he does not want to. Divorce seems only possible solution for them. Maybe thing with Rich can be different they can be together after that. But what if... no he said he loved her, he would not leave her alone. But things with Rich were not meant to be forever. They would eventually end. He is too younger for her. He would find someone of his age, he will be with. Happier? He will be happy. But what about her? Who would be with her? What about Jonathan, will he be happy? No she had to convince Jonathan. They have to be together. She picked up phone and dialed a number. "Jonathan?" No answer. "Jonathan? Listen Jonathan, it does not have to be this way, Jonathan." Still silence. "Jonathan talk to me, we have to be together, Jonathan, Things with Rich will ends eventually, it will be same again." "Susan?" "Jonathan..." "Listen to me Susan, and Listen carefully" He sounds frustrated. "Things WILL NEVER BE SAME"...he said with force, "and .... We will never be together. Never..." "Jonathan..." "Warn you lover, he is going to pay, I will make sure, he pays for what he has got for year for free" "Jonathan, he is not..." "I already said what I have to, now don't call me unless it is about kids." "But..what about me?" "Good bye Susan" He hung up. What is he going to do.? What could he possibly do? She could not afford to let Jonathan know about Rich, it will only make things painful. Then phone rang. "Hello?" "Susan?" "Rich? Why are you calling?" "I just wanted to know, do you know what Jonathan is going to do about what he said?" "NO Rich I don't have any idea what he is going to, and why are you calling me? "I just wanted to..?" "Listen Rich, we need a break, If Jonathan found about you, he might come after you" "I am already missing you baby, I know we have to cool down" "yes, until I decide what to do about divorce" "What do you mean, you are going to divorce, right?" "No Rich, I don't want to, but I have no choice" "Listen Susan, just agree with Divorce, don't fight, you will only drag it, you should end it before he finds about me, there is not much he can do about, but, it will ruin my reputation and yours as well, beside it will make this mess only uglier." "Damn it Rich, this is my marriage I am talking about, you are talking like some decease we have to get rid off" "Susan..baby.." "Just...don't say anything Rich just don't say...and don't call me... until...just", and hung up. She could not say anything. She could not help crying. She does not know when she fell asleep. Next day she was served with divorce papers. Nothing was going the way she had assumed it would be. She has to fight. She will fight. She needs a lawyer. Rich has to be out of it, Jonathan still does not know, who he is, She can fight the divorce. "He came to you?" "Yes Susan, and I refused to represent him, because of confidentiality" "Did you tell him about Rich?" "No we cant, Susan, but he seemed very..." "I know" "We never knew you were married" "It just never seemed right to tell anyone" "You helped him a lot, we almost lost hope for him to ever come out, I really appreciate it" "Listen, I am here about my..." "I know but, you...What are you going to do?" "I am going to fight divorce" "But he seemed determined, why do you want to fight, I thought you and Rich.." "Why? I don't want to lose him, what would I tell my kids?" "I thought you wanted to fight, spouse support" "I might consider it later if i have no choice, but i want to stop this divorce now" "Listen Susan, I suggest you to agree to divorce now, if he does not want to be married to you, it is eventually going to happen, and things will only be messy, and your affair might not be secret anymore, and Rich's name can come out" "He had came out of depression ..umm because of you...but this could hurt him again.. Jonathan might not win the case but it will be permanent damage to both of you". Susan was starting to feel helpless. She has noway to go, she was not sure of anything. Her recent talks with Rich has created a hole in her belief in love with Rich, Now Jonathan was being so hard on her, she has no one to go and tell everything, share her problems. Time passed Susan did nothing. She left everything at Jonathan, may be he would stop divorce or will continue with it, she had nothing to fight to. Fighting against the divorce was not an option as told by Jonathan and Lawyer. And fighting for more in divorce was pointless, Jonathan was going to provide for his kids anyway. he was already being fair about child support. Everything seems to be slipping. She has no control over anything. She was thinking if she had not told Jonathan about her affair, it might have been better for everyone. Now only thing she can do is hope. Time passed Divorce still going on. She had not talked to Jonathan since that call. She knew he was meeting kids regularly but kids seems to avoiding any talk about where he has been and what he is doing. She had already stopped seeing Rich for time being. maybe after divorce they can start working on their relationship, no point in hurting Rich in this mess. She been talking to him time to time but limited and only if it was necessary. Rich had called many times, to be together. he insisted that they would be careful. He always seems to be confused, Sometime he sounds to be missing her, but sometimes he sounds like he does not want to be part of mess which was indirectly created by him. He sounds more concerned for himself than effect they are going to face on their relationship ***** ******* ******** ****** ******** ****** ****** ***** ***** ****** It been three months. Jonathan had succeeded in most of what he really wanted out of. he was leaving the relationship alone and sadly and he really did not want Susan and her lover to go out of this mess without any payback. Whole things was making him crazy. he had done many things he was not proud of , but most time he is been working on moving on with his life, of course he wanted revenge, revenge from everyone, sometime he wondered has he become that bad person. He did not want to hurt anyone, but he wants them to feel the pain he felt, he wanted to be able to say why everyone told him when he was going through it, he wanted them to tell, "you just have deal with it' or ' there is nothing you can do' or ' there must be good reason behind it'. He was sitting with a very gorgeous lady with blond hair, in a bar. When a old lady in suit came near to them. She pointed her finger to her, she had not seen Jonathan yet or did not recognize him yet. Her eyes were read in anger. "You slut, what is it all this crap you are trying to pull out here" "what do you mean..." Old lady threw a letters and some photographs on table in front of her and some pics. "THIS, you slut, you said you have been with my husband for three months, and he denied it, he said he had been with you only once." "Look mam, If i knew it was supposed to be one time thing, i would not have mention out time together" "What do you mean, it was supposed to be? what the fuck are you trying to say?" "Look I am not trying to say anything, If he said it was one time thing it was one time thing, OK? but it was not his fault, I was hurt and sad, he was just comforting me and we...well I explained everything in this letter, and I don't have anything to say anymore." "You don't have anything to say?you fucking kidding me.You made mess of my marriage, and now you are being so highly, pretending to be caring about my feelings and my family." "Look i am here with someone, and I don't want to talk to you" "It s perfect, he should also know what a home wrecker and a slut you are" she turned to man sitting on oppose side of table. "You? Mr..." "Freemont, Jonathan Freemont" "But you ..." "Yes Susan's husband, and before you say something, Laura told me everything, I don't think you should blame her for anything, at the time she did not know he was married, and what she told me, I assume she was the one who stopped the affair when your husband made remarks about leaving you for her, and As Laura told me, I want to assume your husband is nice guy, he did not do it to hurt you." "But they.." "Look Mrs..Umm I don't think you should be harassing her, here in public, and I don't know what talks went between them at the moment, but I believe there must be some reason, you should talk to your husband, you can work things out. And yes if you need some help, I may recommend you some therapist.It would help you a lot, because it helped me a lot." "What? are you mad? how could there be any explanation to..." she said and stopped. Then she glared at both of them for which seems to be very long. The she turn and stormed out of bar. "That was quite a performance" "You did pretty good job too" "Well I was paid for that wasn't I?" "Yeah Yeah, so you want some thing, or you want to leave?" "I would like to talk if you don't mind, anyway I don't have anything to rush either." "OK, but I am not paying for this" " Ha ha very very funny mister, I just wanted to know more about you?" "What is there to know about me?" "So tell me are you happy now?" "What?" "I mean Can you move on now, you already got what you wanted, you made him, beaten twice, and both time he ended up in hospital. Your wife has no one now, you made this woman suffer and probably ruined their marriage." "Don't say that, I know ruining her marriage was very bad of me, I think, working in Gym for hours, wife's betrayal, living alone all the time made me pretty shallow. All I think i setting revenge. I really feel bad for this woman, And i hope their marriage survive.this fall, And it should not fall, because she is reasonable woman, she will find a way to overcome, once she heard her husband tell her, he was just trying to hep you, she will forgive. If not then she should not be giving advice to others which she couldn't follow by herself. I know I am being bad guy here, and it very selfish thing to do, and one day I will be regret everything " "And how long you think you are going to play Rich, do you have any plan to stop or just you want to continue doing same, You know I might not be available for ever" "Well, I think it will end in next time, it would be last time" "Don't you think, he will not buy that again" "Well you can try, tell him, you are through with your husband, and free to date anyone now, but this time I want you to play more dangerous" "What do you have in mind?" "You will tell cops that he is been coming on you, for a long time, you had refused every time, and this time he forced himself on you" "But he would be charged rape attempt" "Yup, that is what I want" "Don't you think you are over doing this? ruining everything he had worked for, I don't have any sympathy for him, but ." "I know what it would do to him..but remember bastard used that profession to use my wife against me, and he is no innocent, he wont play with any married woman again and destroy a family" "Jonathan, I know you seems to be very angry with him, but I don't think he is not very bad guy, .both time he is been gentleman, and when he did not file against that man , who you hired as my husband, to beat the crap out him, both times, just because I asked him to do that." "Laura, don't fall for these, tell me why was he there with you, after knowing you are married, why it his problem if you don't have very good marriage, and he did not file against your husband because he wanted to be in good books of yours, tell me why was he coming onto you, I don't understand women, a guy who is destroying your family, and you just let him do that because he was being nice to you all the time, just being being nice and charming to you gives him right to play with your family" "Jonathan, I ..." "if you don't want to do it just say so, i will find someone else" "I am sorry Jonathan if I made you angry, you are still hurt, aren't you? you still not over you wife" "No, I am not over her but I am going to be very soon, She will feel the same pain, what i felt when she knew about why playboy had been visiting hospital recently" "Jonathan.you trying to make her Jealous, why don't you do it other-way, you being with someone else" "Oh common Laura, she would get very first time, man like me in my age don't get woman, and beside she wont feel the same pain if she saw me, I want her to see What type of man she risked her marriage for, is. She would feel betrayed" "OK I understand, but you are still wrong about one thing," "What?" "Man like you.." "Oh common, I know you want me to feel better, boost my ego, but I know what i am, and you haven't seen me three months ago, the mess I was, thanks to gym, otherwise a beautiful lady like you would be embarrassed to sit with me in public place" "Think what you want, woman does not always go for looks, beside you are not hard to look " "OK okay, lets have something now" Laura was the woman, Jonathan hired from escort service. She was beautiful and gorgeous. He did not hire her for sex, at least not for him. he had plan which she was part of. First one was to sleep with lawyer's husband for a night and then , when she received photographs, she would send her a letter in which she will tell her that she is been having an affair with her husband for three months and when he wanted to leave his wife for her, she felt guilty and broke up with him. Second was trying to make Rich approach her, and then a man also hired by Jonathan would come and beat him, acting very angry husband. Rich got injured but on Laura's request he told nothing to police. Two weeks later it happened again, Rich found Laura in bar, he did not want to be in same situation again but she told him, she is not happy in their marriage and trying to move out,.he offered her his help, and then again, it happened, he was again sent to hospital, this time Laura pleaded him not to go to police again, she said it was all her fault, her husband is not very bad guy, only possessive of her, she feel responsible for everything, she told him, she liked Rich and that is why it was her fault, she would try to sort out everything with her husband and then when she would be free to see any one, they can try again. Rich was hard to agree this time but he agreed. Rich did not tell anything to Susan about being in hospital, it good for him, they were not meeting for a while. beside it would only make things complicated. *** ***** *** *** **** *** *** *** **** ****** *** *** ***** ** ***** Susan was in rush, he was injured. She has to be with him, he needed her, he had tried to take his life again. She was in turmoil, before leaving home, but she decided to go and see him. She had to. Divorce was going to happen anyway, there was no way Jonathan will stop this, she had waited for him, to understand her, but he seemed to be determined, but now, she is left with no choice, but at least she could save her relation with Rich. She had received call from, his friends who had known her. No one told him why he was in hospital, only that he is injured. She should be there to see him. She could not go to see him, she remembered Jonathan telling her that all he need is to know who he is. But now it was too much to not go there to see him. She loved him, she cared for him, that is all this mess had started year ago. He marriage was no doubt over. All she is left with is Rich. she would convince him, they had future, and they could be together again. She reached, the hospital, there he was on bed, police was there too. She was going to enter the room , when one of the cop stopped him. "Where you think you going miss?" "Mm Rich...I mean I wanted to see him" "You are..." "His friend, he is very depressed since his wife died four years ago, I think I could handle him" "Sorry mam, Cant let you go in now, you have to wait" "Look don't worry, he wont hurt him, if you just let me.." Something We Need To Talk About Ch. 02 He started to almost laugh, "You should worry about yourself ma'am, a woman like you near the rapist.." "Rapist? what are you talking about?" "Look Mrs.." "Susan, Susan Freemont" "OK Mrs. Freemont, I will let you in you seemed to be knowing him well, but you wait while, our officer talking to him" "But why you said rapist, what happened to him?" "What happened to him?, I don't know, but what was he going to do to a woman who complained about him, is very serious" "What do you mean?" "Mrs. Freemont, I am not obliged to answer the questions you are asking, its better you ask your friend, why was he after, a woman, and tried to rape her, when he failed to seduce her" "There must be some misunderstanding Officer, he is depressed" "Oh yeah..and so he should be let go, hummmm...you are funny Mrs. Freemont. I was also depressed when my mother died, but that does not mean I should be free to commit any crime, If he was miserable why was he messing with, others life. Like I said Mrs..You talk to him, he might need a lawyer, woman had reported against him" She waited for a while, she could not imagine how a man like Rich can try to rape a woman. he was so, gentle man, he was good man. After some time police officer came out, and instructed his junior about something and left. Susan rose to enter to room, and then one of Rich's friend entered the Room with her. "Susan you are here...how have you been?" "Oh..hello Brad, I am fine and you?" "Well, I am here for Rich" They approached the bed where Rich was lying, winded up in bandages. His face was pretty much beaten. "Rich, why are you here, what happened to you, and why that officer...", Susan started asking as she saw Rich. "They are talking bullshit Susan, I did not do anything, that woman is crazy, I don't know why but she..." "OK, Mister, let this get straight, she filed against you, you tried to rape her?" "I am telling you Brad I did not?" "Hey, but there are witnesses" "They are all lying, they..", he tried to think what it exactly looked like,"Look, it looks like i was but...oh I don't what is it" "What are yo saying?" "I met this woman few time before, she seemed to be OK with me, his husband got wrong idea and beat me twice before it, I did not do anything just because of her" "Hey Mister, she told cops in is report that you were trying to get into her from weeks, but she was not interested and when you failed you tried to force her tow time before and this time you went too far" "Mm mm. she told that to cop.? I tried to force her?" "Not exactly force her physically but, according to her you were very persuasive, and she said she was not interested in you and she also lied to you that she is married, so that you leave her alone, but you did not, and you tried to con vice her that you can help her get divorce" "What? I never....but..she was...she is not married?" "So she it is true she told you she was married?" "Yes but I did not know she was.." Susan who was sitting there for a very long time listening to him, could take no more, she had rushed to him, thinking he had tried to suicide. But her it was he was beaten by people, because he tried to force himself on a woman." "Did not you told her that you will help her in her divorce" "Yes but, she said she was not happy" "So you tried to be hero, by trying to seduce her" "God dammit I did not try to..I mean I flirted a little...but...but she never tried to stop me" "She told you she was married?" "Yes but, not happy" "It does not work that way Rich, everything is against you, every one saw you with her, in bar, and some man helping her from you, they said he beat you twice before, did he?" "Yes but she said, he was her husband" "You are in deep-shit, Rich, she told cop that she did not do anything against you because you told her you were grieving for death of your wife, you seemed depressed to her, you told her how you had come to take your own life many times, many time you tried to intimate with her. You told her that you could help her in her divorce taking his husband to cleaner, if she comes to you" "That's not true, I never..", realizing Susan sitting there, he could not think any thing, how could that woman know so much he had not told her about suicide attempt. "You bastard, you..YOU.....try these trick on every woman, you miserable piece of shit", Susan standing there, anger in her eyes, hurt of betrayal. A man she loved and risked her own marriage for him, is a con man, she was just target to him. She almost felt urge to cry. "You..ruined my life..my family..you son of a bitch... I am going to get divorced just because of you, bastard I hope you are happy now, why me you son of a bitch.?" "Susan you are taking it all wrong, i did not do anything, she is lying" "when, you could not get into her pants, she is a liar? you..I never want to see you again, never try to contact me, I swear I will kill you" With that she stormed out of room. As much in rush as she was when she came here. Everything seemed to fall apart, she had lost everything, how could she be so stupid, her marriage was over, her lover she thought loved her was now just, lie, her last year was just a lie, his love for her was just a crap like him. How could she be so blind, how could she do it to her family. What is she going to do. After Susan left Rich, was more in tension. he did not understand what was happening. He told Brad everything, about beating he got from, two time before, and did not do anything on her request. This time they were talking in bar having drink, a man came to her, tried to pull her, by hand, when she started to leave without saying anything, but looking at him for help. He grabbed her other hand, trying to stop him. he had told man that he leave her alone, and she was with him. And then he as he took his hand to stop him, that man just started beating him, he was very muscular, so he had no chance, but when, people came to help him, that man, told everyone that he was trying to help That woman. when he looked at Laura, for backing him up she told everyone that Rich grabbed her hand, when she tried to leave with his friend, he tried to stop them, Listening that statement he was in shock. he has no words. they left the table and went outside. When, after sometime he also went outside, he saw Laura and wanted to ask her, why she acted that way, as he headed to her, there were four man who started beating him. he did not know what was happening, "No one is going to believe you Rich, everyone saw you going after them, when they left bar together, she said after coming after her, when you saw her alone you tried to force her, but before you do anything that man and his friend came to stop you, and they had to beat you to stop." "That's bullshit, look that woman is playing some game, look you need to investigate, she is unto something, maybe money, or some revenge, I just know, she had conned me, why I don't have clue" "This is pretty bad Rich, Whatever she said you confirmed everything, except the part you were outside the bar, she said she never asked you help her, when she was leaving with him. She already told everyone that she lied to you about her marriage, and about investigating, she came in town, a month ago, she is trying to settle in this town. She was escort but she stopped now, that is why she was moving here. And whatever we do, you told her how you are going to help her in divorce, you were in misconduct of your profession, you going to look bad buddy, We can fight but do you want to risk everything, we may win, but your career as lawyer, for the advice you gave her, and several witnesses who saw everything with their eyes." "What does she want?" "Don't have clue?, and you know, charges like rape attempt, you may get free, prove that you did nothing, but you in reality, once you are charged with something like that, you are not judged on the basis of result, you were charged is enough for people to avoid being around you, you know that all, we see cases like this everyday in our life. An FIR for rape attempt is enough to ruin your career" "What can we do, what are her intentions," "Don't know Rich, but problem is not her, she does not seem to be so much determined to punish you, She just told police everything to help man who beat you, police is the one who is going against you." "Then do whatever you can Brad, I cant risk my career" Brad set meeting with Laura, she told brad that she did not want to do anything against Rich, she thought he was depressed but that does not mean she was interested in him, she many times tried to give him signals, that she was not interested, But he kept coming on her. she would take her withdraw the case if he just let it drop, and do not come after her, and leave her alone. To brad it seemed to be good proposition. he cared fro Rich, he knew, Rich was in depression, and Laura was just being nice, s there was all miss understanding. and pulling this case was no good for anyone. Everything was settled, she did not take any action against him.He did not file against any men. Everything was just misunderstanding. Jonathan was happy, sitting with this beautiful woman, just added to his reward. "You seems to quit happy" "Why not, I just achieved what I wanted" "Well, you really did numbers on him, I feel sorry for him, He did nothing" "Well I also feel sorry for him, now, poor Rich, does not have a clue what happened to him, every-time, he was fucked" "I thought you were going to go through all this, I don't know If I could have gone thought, he was innocent" "Maybe to you Laura, but to me was the guy, he destroyed my home, he might be Innocent, he might be a good man, but then again to me he was evil. millions people die Laura, why did not he just killed himself, why did he have to fuck my family." "I know you're hurt Jonathan" "Hurt is very small word Laura, Like I said you don't understand any hurt or pain, until you fell it by yourself" Then his cellphone rang. "Hello" "Jonathan?" "Susan, why are you calling, what happened, are kids okay?" "They are fine, just.." "If they are fine, and don't need anything, then you don't have to call me, good bye..." "Jonathan please, please don't hang on." "What you want Susan?" "Jonathan, I broke up with Rich" "And?" "I...if you...look can we meet in person, I want to talk to you" "No Susan, I don't want to talk to you, unless it concern kids." "Please Jonathan, cant you just meet me, I really need to talk to you" "Look... OK tomorrow after work I will come to house" "Thank you Jonathan" "Good bye Susan" and he hung up. "You were rude to her. " "You haven't heard her ,when she told me about her affair, you would reconsider my being rude to her, if you just had listened to her."

"It's better We don't talk about that." "Why not, what could be worse than her affair itself?" "Believe me Laura, it was most hurtful moment of my life, it would bring nothing but pain in my heart, Why don't we just say Goodnight to each other." "I was just...OK you are right...I am sorry...I just thought you need someone to..." "I really needed that Laura, Really, more than ever I needed someone, who could tell me that I was still the man, hell I could not even feel alive Laura...", his face was looking like he was going to break right there. He looked at Laura for a moment. "See? I told you... May be I still need someone... But... I think I should go now." "You are right you need someone, obviously not me..." "What? what made you think that?" "Come on, you don't need a woman like me..." "What do you mean by woman like you?" "You know, an escort...", she hesitated. "What? you think...I am sorry Laura, if I gave you that expression, I never thought of you like that... really." "Then why do you act like I am some disease or..." "What are you talking about Laura? I never...what did i do which made you think..." "See, you hire a prostitute, to seduce a man, actually two...and working for almost a month, and.. come on a prostitute you are paying, and you never even once..." "I never thought you were interested." Laura could not help laughing.Jonathan felt confused, what this woman talking about, and what in the is so funny about saying the truth. "You are dumb you know that?" "What? you wanted me to make move on you?" "No, not like that, I am not saying you should have, all am saying is that, anyone in your place would have, and you not making move, made me think that you don't want to do anything with a prostitute or you don't find me attractive or at least not as much as your wife." "You must be kidding, Who does not want to be with you? I know those who are dead, but again I doubt about that, and about my wife, lets just say that you are far more beautiful that her, and you have something she does not have." "Oh and what is that supposed to be?" "A kind heart." "Wow that was very sweet thing to say." "Believe me I am saying the truth only." "You are a good guy John, I would like to be you friend, after this is over." "Well this is over, most probably, and we are still friends aren't we?." And there were laughters. Phone was ringing. Susan picked it up. "Hello?" "Hello, Susan, Its me, Rich". "What do you want Rich?" "Susan I want...I need to see you." "No I don't want to." "Please Susan, I love you really, believe me, Its just some misunderstanding." "Tell that to Judge Rich, I am not buying anything you say." "Please Susan, Someone's trying to trap me, I am in deep shit." "OK Rich when you prove she is wrong, I will think again." "Susan, I am not doing anything against her, she is ready to drop the case, she just wants me to stop harassing her." "So, she was right, you did what she claimed." "No Susan, I still don't understand why did she do that, but I am trying to find it out, but not legally, I don't need this to reflect on my career." "OK Rich, do what you have to, if you can't prove it to me, It's over between us." "Thank you Susan, you know I love you." "Good bye Rich", and she hung up. "Damn it, why can't she believe me, I was just flirting with that woman. What would I do without her.", he thought. He really loved Susan, he was not sure to make it permanent before, but now everything going on, she would be free from her marriage soon, and then he could see if it works. ******** Susan opened the door, John was standing there, its been three months since she had seen her husband. he looks so fit, he must be working out. "Come in Johnathan, you look good." He entered the house. Before he could say anything Susan went on,"Kids are with my parents, how you been doing?" "Susan? Cut this bullshit, and come to the point, what do you want?" "I...I...just wanted to talk to you." "Well I knew it was waste of time, I am leaving,"he turned to leave, Susan, started saying what she wanted to before he leaves. "I broke up with him, Johnathan, we are through." He turned and stare at her for a moment,"well what it has got to do anything with me?" "I thought you would want to know." "Well, no I don't want to know anything about you" "Johnathan we cant try again, a family we used to have." "Don't waste my time Susan, if you don't have anything important to say, let me just go." "What? I thought...you..." "You thought, you thought, you thought... fuck you, and what you think, I don't give a rat ass about what you think or want.", coldness in his eyes could be seen without a doubt, he did not seem to say these to hurt her, he was just saying these as matter of fact. "Johnathan I still love you." "Then take your love and shove it up your ass, don't tell me, anything about you, If you are through with your lover find another one, or two as you want. You don't need one husband, have two or three, but hell leave me alone. If you don't have something to say anymore, I am leaving now, there is my friend waiting outside." "Johnathan...I... you", no words, what could she say, he don't give rat ass about her and her lover, he doesn't want to listen about her love for him", Johnathan cant we try again." "you must be kidding,"he said almost laughing,"who wants to be with you? you are no fun, no loving, just the opposite, you are disgusting woman. I don't like you, your moral values are lower than street whore." "Jonathan...",she screamed. well she lost control. how could someone be so mean, to her, how could a husband say those things to her wife, mother of his kids.he was so cold. "Well I told you it was not a good idea" "How could you be so mean to me, I am still your wife, bastard." "Nah,, I am not bastard, bastards are those who are born in relation like you and your lover has. If you are lucky you will be raising your lover's bastards." She almost ran towards him to slap him, but he was fast enough to stop her, by stopping her hand. "Don't try this woman, otherwise you would be in hospital, It was not me who wanted this talk, I don't hit woman., and don't force me to." "You bast...you never loved me, I was right, i was just some possession to you" "I never loved you? I never loved you? fuck you bitch, maybe you are right, you are not someone who should be loved, you disgusting whore, and whore are not to be loved, they are to be fucked and paid money, for that. What I did for last 16 years." She knew he never loved her. She just knew. But listening to those words coming out of his mouth, torn her apart. He said something she could not figure it out, what, then he turned and left. She, just standing there, thinking about what was said, just in last fifteen minutes. How could you live with someone and not know him, how could he live with her for sixteen years and not love her. How? But what about her, she loved him, what would she do without him now. Thing almost over with Rich, what is she going to do.No she cant let Johnathan go, she needs to stop divorce. ******** A week later, Rich was talking to woman who claimed that he harassed her sexually. "Listen Rich, I would remove all charges, if you just stop harassing me." "But when? I did no such..." "OK you want to play, I think it was bad idea, let the cop handle this", She tried to stand and leave,, when Rich stopped her. "OK, I agree with you, you wont see me again." "OK. but if you did again, I will not be kind to you." Then she left. Susan who had been sitting on next table listening to their conversation came to table where Rich had been sitting. "Well every thing is clear now, bastard, don't ever call me again." "Susan ...listen she is playing some game I don't know what but I will find out", but she was not there anymore, she had already left. Damn it, how am i gonna make her believe me. That woman is conspiring against me, and I don't know why? This idea of calling her in private and asking her to drop charges, and make her confess that she was lying, and Susan at next table, would know that she was lying. but it failed. ********* Almost a month later Susan was coming out of mall, when she saw, Johnathan passing through in his car, there was some woman sitting on the other seat. She took a quick taxi to follow them. They stopped at some house. Woman entered with him,when he went into the house. It must be some friend of his, or he has girlfriend. she sat their for 15 minutes and woman did not come out. She waited for 10 more minutes and then rang the door bell. "Susan? what are you doing here?" "So this is your hiding place hum?" she entered into the house, looking carefully. searching for something. "What do you want? How did you know, I am staying here." "Well-well,..", then she realized he was in his bath robe only. Bastard must be. " You..",she could not finish her sentence when a famine voice interrupted her. "Who is it John?", Susan looked towards the room door opened, a very beautiful woman, in a shirt and it seems only shirt on her, only few buttons closed, standing on door. "Oh you, so you found him?" "What who are you?, who is this woman Jonathan and why is she... naked...", then she suddenly recognized the woman, and what does it all mean. "You bastard, you set this all up. You set him up, you and this slut.How did you know him?" "Get the fuck out of here whore, or I would call the police." "Don't be so harsh on her, John," She moved towards John, and gave him a kiss. Susan standing there looking at them like they were from other planet. She could see her husband with this woman, kissing her, in front of her. This woman, she trapped Rich. Woman started laughing. "You were right John, she is fat ass, And those shagging tits. Oh my god what did you see in her, in first place, Poor boy you must never had better one to compare with, she is not beautiful as me." John almost laughing,"Stop it Laura, you being naughty again." "Oh really you think so, get rid of her, and I will show you how naughty i can be, I am waiting for you lover", and she kissed him and then went inside the room, but before entering she said again, "Don't make it very long lover, get rid of her fat ass soon," and then she was gone. Susan standing there, humiliated, in anger, pain. whatever she did to deserve it, Fat she was not fat, tits? they always hang after you give birth to three children and nurse them. But they were not shagging, they were not in that slut's league but they were not shagging. "How could you? How could you stand there and do nothing when a woman humiliated me in front of you, how could you?" "How could I what bitch? I will tell you, what you were doing when You Lover was humiliating me?" "He,...we never humiliated or bad-mouthed about you" "Cut this crap Susan, he was banging my wife, for a year, in my dictionary it was insult to me, what were you dong when he was doing it?" "I...i..." "You were being fucked, you were enjoying every moment of it, at my expense Susan, at my expense. so pardon me If I cant stand for you." "I am mother of your children for god sake, I bore your kids, these fat ass, these tits, because of ..." "may be you are right..but that does not change the fact that your not in her league, and she can say whatever she want, One thing I learned from you is that if you are superior you can say anything to your inferiors. Your lover and you disrespected me, and now Laura did that to you, it seems OK to me, now if you don't mind. I have business to take care of, so it would be nice of you if you just leave." He walked towards the room in which Laura had gone. "Susan? you have answer to every question you are asking me, you just don't want to accept that. and please close the door when you leave." and he was in the room. "Gone?" "Who cares..?.bitch thought she can have affair confront me and carry on, and I would never know who she's been banging for a year. How dumb she think I am." "Good now come to me Lover." "Where else would I go?" Susan could almost hear everything, he had to know who Rich was, Of course he knew, How could he not, he would have someone follow her after she confronted to him about her affair, he did not waste any time. How stupid she could be, knowing that her husband knows about her affair and would not find out with whom. She could hear voices coming from room, they did not even wait for her to leave. What can she do now? She just left. ******* "Rich?" "Susan, is that you?" "Yes Rich its me." "My god Susan I waited for you, I missed you so much" "Listen Rich, I just called you to tell,..that I believe you that you never harassed her." "My God Susan, I knew you would believe me, finally, we are good again right?" "No Rich, we cant, too much had happened, my marriage is mess, my family, my home everything is mess, just because I confronted my affair with you to my husband." "You cant mean that Susan,Everything would be right, Susan, everything will be OK." "Good bye Rich. and I ..." and she hung up. Tears coming out of her eyes, she turned. That is when, she got biggest shock of her life, standing there on door was Cindy. "Cindy?...", that is all she could say before Cindy ran out to her room and locked it from inside. Susan ran to her room. "Cindy, baby open the door." "Go away mom, I don't want to talk." "Cindy please listen to me, let me explain." "You don't need to, just go away." "Cindy...", well now is everything mess. Her daughter knows about her affair, how would her other kids will behave when they know. She had no idea. She chased their father away. How would she explain it to them. She has to convince Johnathan to stop divorce, then everything will be OK. They once again would be one happy family. But what about that slut? She has to go away. While she is around Johnathan he would never come back to her. She needs to find a way to stop it. Yes she will fight. ********* "What do you want?" "I decided to fight the divorce." "Good for you." "What do you mean? I said I want to fight." "And I said good for you." "Aren't you going to give me some advice." "You can have as many as you want from your lawyer." "But you are my lawyer." "No I am not, I not taking you case, find someone else." "Why? what happened?" "What happened? my own marriage is wreck, just because you could not keep hiding that coward's crying face in your cunt, you whore, now I see adultery is adultery, no matter why you did it, you broke the promise, trust, the one you so claimed you loved" "What? why are you blaming me, what it has anything to do with you and your marriage." "You slut, there is nothing I say is going to go through your thick mind, strong woman my foot, all strength you thought you had and were passing it to your lover, trough your cunt is just, your imagination, this is real world, and in real world people get hurt. now please leave before I do something, you remind me on nothing but...just go, I don't want to do anything with cheaters, and certainly not fight for her." Susan made her way out. Not exactly getting anything. Why did she suddenly changed. Sh had been so supportive to her. And now? What happened to her. Why everything is against her? Why her? her daughter probably hates her, it just matter of time when her other kids would know about it, and would do the same. She has to do something, something to make it right. Jonathan just had to stop the divorce, or she everything would be shattered. Finally she found a lawyer willing to fight for her. She will fight, for her family, for husband, she is a strong woman, she just need to keep trying. Something We Need To Talk About "Good bye Susan..." And with that he approached to camera place on den, shut it down, he picked his suitcase and left. She stood there. Now he walked on her. She was left to make choices, like she has many choices. She can do nothing, if she does, she would risk her kids, and she just has to watch how everything goes. Can she do anything without hurting kids? No, he now has video of her accepting her affair. Accepting everything she said to him last night, he might not be able to prove affair, but it was enough to ruin her for life. And Rich, what about him? He has to know what is coming to him. She reached her cell phone and dialed a number. "Hello Rich?" "Susan...What happened? Are you crying baby..." "Oh Rich...I am lost...Jonathan left me." "What? Do you need me, you can come over here, and I am home today." "No Rich...I won't be coming..." "Okay I can come over to your house" "No!" Suddenly he remembered what Jonathan said about him coming in this House. "What happened baby, tell me, did he hurt you, threaten you, he can't do anything baby..." "No, Rich you can't come here" "Listen Susan, you are hurt, you need someone there for you to comfort you, I am coming,...you said Jonathan left, so no need to worry now...maybe he did not love enough to try to understand you" "No Rich you can't, you can't come to my house, and all he need is to know who you are" "What, why would he need to know me, you said he left did not he?" "He said he is going to charge you with alienation of affection" "What? Is he mad...he can't do that...he had no proof.., you did not tell anybody else, what does he has Susan?" "He has my coronation videotaped" "What are you stupid, you ..." he started to scream."What were you thinking? Susan, I can't afford to be charged, I may lose my profession over this" "I did know he was recording everything, it is not only my affair but also the things I said to him to hurt him, it seemed like I was hurting him for no reason, I was characters, having relation with two men. Oh Rich what I am going to do?" "Listen Susan, You need to calm down, we need some break, we can't let him find me, so don't try to contact me, please understand this It is not good for both of us. We will be together once you divorce is final. It must take three months if you won't fight." "What? I am going to fight this Rich, I don't want Divorce. I will stop him" "Susan is you stupid? Divorce will be final weather you want or not, you will be dragging it only, he has proof, only thing we can do is save me from this. Sooner it will be over and sooner we will be together, once e the divorce is final he can't do anything." "Rich, is this your way of helping me out, I am in need, I don't want to divorce from him, I helped you when you needed me. I risked my marriage for you, my family, and you turning your back to me?" "Listen Susan, whatever happened between us, it was with your permission, I did not force you, you could have just walk away" "You were going to kill yourself damn it" "Oh Susan, stop that bullshit, If I was going to kill myself why would I tell you, I would have gone all way without telling you, You were here with me, because you wanted to be with me,..Listen Susan. I love you, you love me... That is all we have now, agree to divorce, and we will be together again, and please try not to let anyone know about me." "Ok Rich have it your way" she said in angry voice and hung up. Now she was sitting there having second thoughts, few hours ago, she was thinking, how is going to manage between her husband and her lover, few minutes ago her husband left her, but she had lover, Rich, and now she was not sure. She thought he loved her as much as she loved him, and he turning his back like this. What she could do? Nothing. Let them do whatever they can do. Jonathan was driving to Motel near to his work. he had already figured it out, How was he going to deal with it, he did not need to watch Susan to find about her lover, He has other resources, but he will be keeping eye on her, he has told her so that he could see what their plan was, they will break for some time, or they will come in front of him openly, or he will abandon her after hearing about law suit. Either way he was happy. Sooner or later he will find out who the bastard is. He had several things planned for him. He will not hurt him physically until divorce is final and case against him is final. After that he will be regretting telling Susan about his suicidal acts, he will be regretting not killing himself sooner. Notes: Just trying, you can tell me, whatever you feel about it, I know many of you think it as a crap, I just wrote it, and it is my first. I tried to be in the Story, Then while Writing I came to know it is not easy writing emotional stories, you always have several choices you can go either way, and sometime everything is not black and white, Form original story I did not know about Rich's Character, so I could not imagine his dialogue, but to me he seemed to be some coward, either he has to be some very bad person, conman or very pathetic loser, sex between them could have been great because of many reason, illicit or because they cried having sex first time and which she took as emotional bond, or because she did things which has never done and she enjoyed doing those. Assuming he is coward I wrote this, story, Susan as a strong character, strong character does not mean good personality, It means you stand on what you believe, she thought it was okay to cheat to help somebody, so she did, If she believed so much, and she believed she loved Rich too, so I let it at that, She still between two lovers, Strong characters does not change with few lectures, they need to see consequences, even they see the consequences they try to deny it, Jonathan seen hurt in original story, so we don't know any other side of his character except he never cheated, and was working for his family day and night, In my view if a husband is working for his family does not mean he is ignoring his wife, if wife feels that she need to work on that, she need to communicate on that, he need not to justify anything, he did nothing wrong, he just did one side very good, he did not hurt his wife, but his wife did, for year she betrayed him, she did with her lover what she never did with her husband, she insulted him. From whole story we can only portray Susan's character, may be Authors was female that's why she was able to write her side fairly, to me she seemed Strong Character but she is self-centered, Social wrong valued person, not good wife, certainly not perfect mother (She saw no bad side of their divorce affecting their kids, only thing metered to him was Rich), I Personally did not like her, She was Quite in this version, because, John was calmer, so she has no need to run, or do whatever she wanted, There is always a way to communicate, so Jonathan did this time. Strong character does not mean strong woman or personality. Now when her belief might be shaken she might be confused about what to do will portrait her as very weak character. But that is how it works, if you are belief are wrong or unacceptable you can't any longer believe them one day you will break down.
