Your work is good, I find the stories entertaining. But you seem to leave them hanging. Maybe it is a bit of artistic license. I suppose spelling out the victims recovery is not really needed, but to me it seems to short change the story a little.
An early story by the author (over 10 years ago) reveals the genius we have come to know and appreciate.
If you don't know the author, tis two-parter is a great introduction .
The Hoary Cleric
P.S. Remember a work of fiction takes place in a world created by the author, so researching the laws of his hoeland is a waste of time. Don't pick, JUST ENJOY!
Good story. I don't quite understand UK employment laws and $ awards, but good resut and courtroom drama.
Well you have mastered going 100 MPH but when you stop on a dime it is a car wreck with little value.
Well at least his sister figuratively had a pair! Not sure how this would work out. If Karen was prepared to 'doctor' evidence for a court hearing what other business documentation would she have changed (a.k.a fraud). And look at the steel backbone of guy who now owns the company and will have to sort it out. Karen will appeal obviously and the company could be tied up for years. I doubt there will be much of the $7M value left by then. Fanny is screwed by the prenup and probably has no assets anyway
Bastante pobre la narrativa y diálogos realmente infantiles.
No es tu mejor obra, sr. Autor
Excellent, reference my comments about chapter 1, hubby took the hit and made a plan, thanks largely to his sister, and got his revenge, he has lost his loving wife but has the rest of his life to live, when real crap happens all you can do is try to find as happier ending as you can.
Seriously? Looks like a major joke as to what a court can and can't do.
Written for 6th graders I suppose.
Sister has more balls then the fool.
@anony with the agenda
And as usual most feminists react to most situations without thought. Just based on their self given entitlement of always being right no matter what the facts are.
There is only one way to have a debate with a feminist on a subject to be based purely on facts. Put a ball gag in her mouth and walk away.......no facts from their point of view at all. Now I know the woke crowd will be up in arms over that comment. So, based on their ability to see understand that other views are out there a d don’t follow their narrow beliefs in freedom to live and let live without agreeing with what they think.
Let me take this opportunity to show them the same understanding and acceptance that they give others..........Ready for it?........... Are you near your safe room or a quiet space...........beware triggers ahead.........!
FUCK OFF YOU SELF ENTITLED WEASELS!!!! NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU THINK......MUST BE BECAUSE YOU DON’T.
The judge decided that the reviews were fakes in 10 min. The defence had to get it done forensically, also why wasn't the forensic person in court. The lawyer wouldn't represent her because she no longer owned the company, less than an hour after the judge made her judgement, no paper work drawn up, no appeal considered. It really was a load of rubbish. I like anon ( unlike me, I usually disregard anons) reading of the situation between England and the USA
Well, the once mighty FBI must be even more powerful than I thought since they apparently have jurisdiction even in England!
Nice to know England also enforces the US state divorce laws.
"But what had shocked them both was the paperwork for a legal action against Karen and her company, for Constructive Discharge and Wrongful Termination, claiming a total of $20M!"
-
That would've shocked me too, since the dude wasn't discharged, he resigned. At least, that's what you wrote in the first chapter. But I highly appreciate that someone finally cleared up the whole "Alienation of affection"-bullshit.
I have to say... I liked it at the beginning. I liked the first chapter, and the start of this one. But by the end, it turned into yet another ridiculous powerfantasy fairy-tale, where judges just accept and dismiss evidence without calling for experts, value companies and change ownerships of those companies on the fly.
I'd also like to point out how the Author answered the Commenters who critisized the MC for being too tame, telling them to read chapter2 before building an opinion on that... and then chapter 2 proves the commenters right. This MC wouldn't have done shit. It was his lawyer-sister who did everything and got revenge for him.
3 stars for this 2nd part. Not really a very good story - way too any holes in the plot.
Although, I did appreciate how the judge shut down the objection raised by the defense lawyer re: anti-lesbian bias - because she is married to a woman.
Good story, I am pleased with what happened. Karen received the brunt of Karma. IMO MyFanwy could have suffered more. Seeing her she deals with the outcome. Does she show regret? Remorse? Anger? self-pity? Does she wait for Karen or live a life in a private hell. That journey could be an extension of Chapter two or chapter 3
Grammar very good
Dialogue Excellent
Story Flow is very good
BTB/RAAC Very good would like to see the Mrs, oops ex-Mrs suffer more
Kept my interest Excellent with a Capitol E
Creating a picture in my mind (new category) is very good. visualized two females on the bed, and the homeless shelter
Overall 4.7
@Annie: "MattblackUK has never..."
*****
Yeah, except we all know you have a userID and what it is. Your problem is, some of us know MattblackUK personally, and also know that he doesn't "villify" anyone. I happen to be one of those LGBTQ "folks," as does another of our personal friends, and we have never once been vilified, but loved and supported by Matt. Shouldn't you be out dumpster diving for ham scraps, you six-piece chicken McNobody?
MattblackUK has never met a lesbian he couldn't manage to vilify. Psychotherapy would no doubt be far more effective in resolving his issues with LGBTQ folks as opposed to waging a whiny defamation campaign against them through repetitive story elements on Literotica.
The two lovers went from embarrassed to conniving really quickly. But I guess being sued will do that.
Disappointed in Fanny as well. I think she deserved more in terms of being called out.a bit of an epilogue would have been grand. But a good tale!
Well... lucky Ken... another woman had to save his azz... too bad he will never grow a pair.
the back bone is on the female side of that family. should not have been a slap but an upper cut. But then he may have just slunk away whining'why me why me'.. Sorry MB.uk bad story. On the other hand good effort to save the story by introducing his sister. Bet her husband is a man.
Interesting fantasy.
So many typos I decided against rating it, as it would be a 1 or 2 for presentation and a 4 or 5 for your imagination.
Craig
Quite the fairy tale, but unlike some of these nitwits, I liked it with a FIVE...
its funny how commenters call verdict crap when they have never stepped in a court room.
I am surprised the judge could just take Karen's company of her just like that.
That's what I call turning the tables on two cheating, lying whores. Judge Judy is right on again. Great story.
Judy Stringer esq developed a backbone?? Esq = Esquire which is a title like Mr for a MAN.
Thought the story would have a good twist being as the love interest was all female, but somehow it just didn't cut it.
Sorry 2** only.
Once upon a time there was a television show called Fantasy Island. This court case belongs on that island. Totally absurd
I kind of wish you had made Fanny realize how evil her girlfriend was during the hearing, and coming to regret her - now irreversible - treatment of her husband and the divorce. Make her feel the pain a bit.
While this story strains credibility in the real world, it only exists in the author's world. I accept that and enjoyed it. Please! Keep 'em comin'.
...it's an excellent story about a spoiled little rich girl who inherited more that she was too immature to manage. That was fun!
5*s. Would have liked to see wife suffer more. Especially since she turned into a spiteful bitch. lol
I also break the hell out of them when I feel like it. And that's how I role. Including using "and" to start a sentence and I have never gotten over using gotten, either.
My buddy Randy also caught his wife with another women .. Like he said he could fight a man but not a women .. About 10 years later she wanted him back .. He Declined her offer .. I was there when she asked him to take her back .. Fake tears and all
....I'm working my way through your stories from A to Z and, on the whole, enjoying them. This one was a little weird with 'Judge Judy' turning the company over to Ken, but it was a nice bit of BTB !!
Thanks for your effort and imagination.
It is a terrible story because, mostly, of completely unrealistic situations and actions. Some reviewers who apparently know nothing about writing argue that labeling it "fiction" allows the author to put anything down. Not so! Factual writing and fiction both require a story to be believable in terms of expected facts and behavior. To not follow that requirement is a sign of terrible writing. "Fiction" doesn't mean that the author can put just any old thing down and expect the reader to accept it. Literotica should not be a site without writing standards. (Yes, I am a published writer, but no, I do not write for Literotica--I just search it for the rare good works.)
I am looking forward to reading your stories.
Several places you use the word “off” as in “getting the business off Karen...” is about as poor grammar as is possible. This isn’t a case of British vs. American expressions it’s just bad grammar. The correct word, of course, is “from”.
I've never been able to read and understand Ulysses by James Joyce. To my mind it is unbelievable nonsense. At the same time any 20th century literature MBA will list it as one of the top five novels of the era. I am unable to understand all of the symbolism and structure of the story. That is my problem not Joyce's. If you think about it most of the truly great novels are unbelievable nonsense. Don Quixote, The Iliad, Tom Sawyer, Moby Dick, Catcher in the Rye, Catch 22, and To Kill a Mockingbird are all pretty unbelievable in reality, but we still love them. Anyone who thinks "unbelievable nonsense" is grounds for trashing a story probably should be wasting their time reading more technical manuals or soup can labels. This story was great btw.
Great story love how the sister comes in to save the day. Hell hath no fury like wrath of a angry sister
you know what is "unbelievable nonsense", it's your comment fuck face! Write your own story but that would require thought, which means a brain. And apparently you don't have one fucking moron.
Yes your note before the story said it wouldn't follow accurately real court process. BUT it's just total childish nonsense, you could have tried to make half realistic surely.
She might have the only pair of balls in the family, but I like her! He could learn a lot from her. She may also be the only consistent character in the two stories who doesn't seem to change personalities.
I am an attorney and I found less problem with the courtroom scene that the switching on and off of emotions throughout both parts. Wife goes from hiding the affair, to asking him to sleep somewhere else. Husband goes from despondent one moment, then is slapped and becomes a cold hearted BTBer. I love a BTB as well as the next guy, but it needs to make some sense, even if it is erotica. Also, Karen goes from caring about her employee, to being a evil bitch without any reasoning. It was too much. The premise was good, but you could not do this story line in 3 pages.
As for the courtroom, the judge would have thrown both Karen and her attorney in jail for contempt, and reporting her to the State Bar, would have been the first thing out of the mouth of the Judge anc Dee. Keep working on your writing. Great idea, but little folllow through. I tried to log in to leave this comment, but it would not accept the security code. So, I sign off, KidCreole.
That was so much better than the part 1!! He's still a limp-wristed schmuck, but his sister did what family and real friends would do. The ending fixed the horrible first part.
i lkoved it thanks for giving cheaters consequences for their actions
There’s too much fucking wrong to even start. 1 star, wish I could do negative stars to counter the fucking snowflakes that jizz themselves over someone writing substandard bullshit.
Good thing the wimp has a strong SISTER! no men need apply. The Judge, Karen, Dee, Myfanwi, Judy and girly man Kendra. What a hen party and cat fight.
But an entertaining read none the less, which is why I read this "stuff".
Office has spellcheck, grammar check, and everything else you need to write a decent story. I couldn’t really get into it due to all the errors it had. There were times when you had mrs. when it should have been mr. I suggest an editor is needed. Great story premise, but bad follow up...
Show a little respect for your own work and take the time to reread the story. The grammar is terrible. Also I don't think a judge can take a person's business off of them. She can award a judgement amount that's it. As with most writers of this genre they have no idea how to write for a woman. I find it really hard to believe that Fanny would suddenly turn around and become a bitch to her husband. Karen's snide remark about Ken after they woke up was met with anger from Fanny, then you turn around and a bitch emerges instantly thereafter.. like I say can't do the women. Also not much could have been going on in the romance and communication dept. between Fanny and Ken, if the affair had been going on for 1.5 years and he had no clue....c'mon!!
You had me believing that Karen was just as condescending as a male lover would have been under these circumstances. She was just as arrogant was any lothario male would have been. Excellent story.
The 1st one bothered me but the 2nd was good.
Can't you people use your imagination to decide for yourself what happens to Ken and his ex-wife and boss? Does it really need to be spelled out for you?
As for the story itself, It's no more believable than any other cheating wife story but still entertaining for me.
I had a hard time accepting the first part would be it but thankfully you came with the second part and what better way to get revenge on someone than to hit them in the wallet. That one always hurts the most.
OK, so it's a work of fiction, but there are STILL too many holes in the story!
Imagine that, a writer of a fictional story using his imagination to write the story!
I REREAD the opening and yes there is a disclaimer but, how dumb do you make supposed educated people (a lawyer, a company owner)? That disclaimer almost makes the real legal system seem a figment of someone's imagination!
If you are having problems with the story retread the first little paragraph.
First off it's a story, why do some of you try to make this real? The wife was a gold digging bitch and her meal ticket is a moron. Why because the writer made them that way. Wake up it's fiction, grammar nazis or nazi take a break or whatever you do. The story is fine the way it's written. If you think you could do something different write your own story and submit it if not shut the FUCK UP!
This was an interesting read I think it should be written into our divorce laws that the culprit responsible for breaking up a marriage, be they male or female, friend or stranger, neighbor or relative, be forced to surrender all assets, including homes, businesses, vehicles, boats, country club memberships, etc. to the cheated spouse
The FBI would certainly be involved in an investigation (at the least) if there are any federal (US government contracts with the company) or if the company is involved in interstate commerce. The person who wrote that needs to understand that stories are written for entertainment value and are not meant to conform to a legal treatise. However, and more importantly, the writer of the prior comment, needs to know what the heck they are talking about, instead of making themself look like an idiot.
For one, the FBI wouldn't be involved. And the crime is Perjury, and it's prosecution is dependent on the court's jurisidiction (federal or state). It's also a severe crime, and her lawyer knowing about it, and admitting to knowing about it, would get her disbarred (unable to practice ever again) and jailed as well.
And in most states, breaking an employment contract means almost nothing. It's a bit different if you're a private contractor, but as an employee, almost every state treats employees as hired 'at will', which really means you can fire them for no reason at all, which is exactly the reason Karen would give. None. The only time it would be required to give a reason is if he was suing over wrongful termination due to some protected class status, like race, sex, age, etc. And given that he's a white heterosexual male, he hasn't go that right in any state in the US. So yes, he can be fired so the boss can fuck his wife, and he really can't do much about it, either.
Honestly, after reading a few of your stories, your characters are glaringly bad, and you don't seem to ever improve.
That is a powerful story. Telling it might help others.
Your comments could make a good story to post on here. Why not take a shot at writing this up?
Well if homosexuality is ok then maybe Ken and Dee should get together. He has a new business, needs a new lawyer and she is a lawyer and not only that they already love each other sooooooooo. They always say incest is best and they can keep in the family.
When I was first married, the business I had originally went to work for, folded after the federal gov made cuts. I had to find another job and the best one wasn't far from home and paid very well. However, the owner was a well known man-whore and had fucked more than one of his employees wives. I didn't believe it, besides, my wife was only 22, I was 23 and my boss was in his 60's.
My wife didnt' say anything when my boss began stopping by my house for 'coffee' not long after I left for work in the mornings. It wasn't until a neighbor asked why Denny was stopping by my house three or four times each week, that I realized something was fishy. My young wife being attracted to that old fuck? No way. And I blew it off knowing my wife, until one day we broke down. My job was running heavy equipment.
I heard them fucking when I walked in the front door. Denny's truck was parked out front and probably had been for a few hours. Walking to the bedroom down a carpeted hall, I didn't make any noise at all. Peeking in, I saw that old fuck between my young wife's legs, pounding like it was the last time he would ever fuck. He was a cocky little bastard but he knew when I racked the action on my shotgun, he was fucked. My wife screamed, Denny rolled off her and shouted at me not to shoot him. I have to admit I wanted to pull that trigger so bad, my finger tightened. Instead, I told him to get his clothes on and to take my wife and leave.
Fuck, that statement was like a nuclear bomb. My wife screamed NO, but I assured her we were history and if she wasn't careful, her and Denny were about to be history. Denny was on his fourth wife and wouldn't be happy about another affair, but I told him I was going to follow them to his house and he'd sure as fuck better take her inside, or he wasnt' going to live long enough to explain.
My wife and Denny left my house almost at gunpoint. Denny knew I was leaning toward killing him, he could see it in my eyes. My wife was distraught, screaming and crying, swearing it would never happen again. I didn't speak to her other than to say she was no longer welcome at my house. I also explained divorce papers were going to be delivered to Denny's house and she had better be there to accept them. I made it plain to Denny he was a whisker from being in the ground and he'd better have her at his house, after all, she was his, not mine anymore.
I quit, obviously, and found another job. My wife was not there to accept the papers. Denny was living alone, his wife left him when he showed up at home with my wife. My soon to be ex had moved home her folks and that was the second stop the sherrif made, delivering them. Denny? Oh, he's dead now, died a few months after this whole thing. Except I didn't have a chance to shoot the fuck, I fully intended to, instead, he 'ran off the roa'd and died drunk.
My divorce went through and she didn't fight anything. Basically, we went our own ways. She couldn't forget though and I'm not going to say she stalks me, but pretty close. Often I look out the front door and will see her parked across the street watching. It's been ten years now and she still does the same thing, but now that I'm remarried with three kids, she doesn't try and talk to me.
and this time she didn't need to pinch. TK U MLJ LV NV
The whole "No Fault" divorce law is bullshit in that it does not allow for a fair settlement based on the facts. Wimpy's sister was able to cloak an alienation of affection in an unlawful termination case and exact some measure of revenge for her brother. (The judge just turning the company over to Ken was crapola though!)
Karen turned out to be a coldly calculating,dishonest bitch who knew what she was doing as she systematically stole the wife away.And the wife stated that she knew she should have not let it continue as Karen pushed it,so she was an unfaithful,cheating sack of shit too. Married for 15 years and then all of a sudden discovering that she was a lezzie?More crappola!
While the whole trial was full of more holes than aged swiss cheese,it allowed for justice to be served!
The defense counsel is the only new character who deserves some kind of sympathy. I don't think she knew how vicious and unethical Karen was, and she tripped over herself apologizing to the judge, and she showed some backbone standing up to Karen. Maybe she will get a job elsewhere and Dee will write her a reference of some kind that isn't too harsh.
How can his walking away from this mess be construed as being a wimp? As several have suggested he should have fucked them both which would constitute rape. Some of you dumb shits need to have your head cleared with a toilet plunger
It probably be different the wife would tell the husband about his lesbian boss hitting on her from the get go . Then he could setup a ffm bondage ambush on his boss and fuck her brains out with the help of his wife for a year and an half like in privacy he's the master and them his sex slaves. At work he's the employee and she's the boss now that be a better storytelling than part 1 and 2.
While I was happy to see the cheaters get their just deserts, the change in his wife from the loving, but no longer "in love" wife in chapter 1 to the vengeful shrew here seems extreme, with no explanation.
and needing legal representation are in a world of deep-doggy-do-do. TK U MLJ LV NV.....as comedian will say the Gooney-Goo-Goo hits the bricks. mlj
Yeah, it's just a story. However, you commented that the way the judge transferred the business was improper.
That's not exactly so.
In a court of equity, literally anything can happen. For example, let's say a large boat sinks a small boat, and in court, it can be proved the small boat was equal in value to the large one. If the defendant doesn't have the cash to cover it in full, the court can make restitution by awarding clear title of the larger boat to the plaintiff. In bankruptcy hearings, any or all assets can be transferred in toto to the creditor. So in this hypothetical, the company being worth more as a whole that in liquidation, a judge could easily transfer all the holdings and capital (including existing debt if Ken were to agree) in order to settle the judgement and it'd be legal, binding, and follow existing precedent.
one would hope for some kind of relief. TK U MLJ LV NV
The author told you upfront that "his" courts did not function in accordance with our reality. Remember folks, there's a reason why they call this FICTION! I suppose The author should be flattered that his story worked its way into your minds enough that you thought it should be based in "reality." I enjoyed it...5 stars!
