My wife and I both panted with expended effort and heartfelt relief. She turned to me, an exhausted, giddy expression on her face, then tittered, "I always hated that table." We laughed and kissed, then she called the police while I held the pistol--now with its safety off--on our shared enemy.

In the end, I needed more than a few stitches. James went to prison, then quickly to the morgue; turns out that faking your death to steal from a Colombian cartel is bad for your health. Five months after our final showdown with him, our third and final child was born. We named her Hope.

Nothjing makes a number two an number one like killing the number one when he goes batshit crazy and tries to kill your husband and possibly you and your children.

Could be named the

"cuckold finally get's his due."

One wonders what it might have been like if he had been found and it was just on the news and he was in a coma that he may or may no come out of. something like that would have been a better love test.

@Nish-it.

Who the fuck cares what kind of freakish wierd reaction you had?

"as an ambiamorous person..."

What a stinky load of horseshit that is.

Basically that means the entire world of monogamous based relationships when one spouse cheats on the other spouse after having committed and promised fidelity...and the cheated upon spouse reacts negatively?

To you and your "ambiamorous" sensibilities...walking out...feeling betrayed...expressing negative feelings to the cheater...threatening divorce? This is an "extremely toxic reaction" to being cheated on?

Seems pretty fucking normal reaction to finding out your spouse has lied to you for your entire relationship. Has carried on an emotional affair for a dozen years. Loves another man MORE than her own spouse. That your entire married life was only the default life your spouse took because she could not have the one she really wanted.

Yeah...his reaction seems SO toxic. As opposed to beating the shit out of her? As opposed to burning their house down? As opposed to just taking all of their money and disappearing to South America and never coming back? As opposed to murdering her?

Yeah...finding out your marriage is a lie and being angry and then leaving for a few days? Sssoooo toxic.

Good god. Some people should just shut the fuck up.

Nish-it go try and impress some other morons with your "I can deeply love up to a dozen people at one time...so how could the author write a man to be angry at a woman in a story who loves multiples just like me? I'm offended!"

You must be offended a lot in western civilization.

Go sell crazy somewhere else sweetheart. We're all stocked up here.

Another awesome example of a talented hack, creating a unique story of heart wrenching love, hate, romance and closure. I didn't want to say violence because that's not what it was. No other story has travelled the path of this. And the ending was perfect. 5 blessed stars!

Very few authors could pull off this kind of plot, but NTH managed it after a fashion.. Regarding the one commenter's remark about the husband's 'toxic reaction'. Well...... let's see: "pity fucks, pity marriage" for so many years, with an ongoing affair through-out the marriage? I would say a 'toxic reaction' was justified. Frankly, I cannot imagine a spouse could ever 'make up' for something like that, mental illness treatment or no. Divorce her WHILE seeing her through treatment, and stay in the kids lives somehow. I did find the discussion with the friend a bit unconvincing in justifying the RAAC here though.

I would have liked to see the antagonist more reasonable and persuasive in the end and how she reacted to that.
