What an imaginative story, well done.

Great story!

5/5

Outstanding!

Great plot and original

Nice job. I enjoyed this one. Thanks for posting it.

Really well done on every level. Several plot lines nicely intertwined accompanied by balanced narration and dialogue. I think we all suspected the real painting was somewhere, but I missed the foreshadowing early on - well done. 4.5*

Well written. Love that the author kept the plot twist hidden yet, didn't make it seem forced or contrived.

Clever like an old school Agatha Christie ending. You knew the switch was on, but not the how, where and when, until justice was meted out to the villains and all was revealed. Full marks on this one.

I liked reading this very much. Thank you! 5*

Excellent!

Beautiful work. Well written, engaging, and a spectacular ending. 5 big, beautiful, well earned stars.

5* great story with everyone getting what they deserve ....

Intriguing and well-written mystery story! And a happy ending as well. Wish we had more stories like this one in LW.

Well done..

5* Happy to see your work on Literotica again!

Cute and not the S O S; 5*

What no Martian Slut Ray, no wimpy crying husband who vomits at hearing his wife hanging the horns on him, a realistic reason for a wife to cheat and a happy ending all in a story crafted into a witty and enjoyable read. Well done. 😊😊😊😊😊.

We’ll done. It is wonderful to read such a well written story. Thank you.

5 *****.

Wonderful story. Thank you.

Daniel's only choice was to donate it. If he inherited it, he had no way to come with the $50 million or so in estate tax that would be owed. Therefore, he'd have to sell it to raise the tax money. Not a lawyer but I'm pretty sure the two conditions of the will involving Susan and Grant are unenforceable. Finally, a UPenn grad only able to get a job as a telemarketer? C'mon man.

Otherwise, an amusing take a bit different from typical LW fare. 4*

5 stars. Thank you!

If I were their attorney, I would have suggested that the screen be placed in a family trust, and have a contract with the museum to display it.

Anything Daniel actually inherited would have to have been shared with his cheating wife in the divorce, so there was no way he'd ever get to keep the painting, and probably not his father's house, either. But my guess is that when Daniel's father rewrote his will to leave everything to Paloma he had already figured out that his son and his nurse would eventually end up together,

IMO the logic of the will makes sense. You can generally require your heirs to do anything you want that isn't illegal to receive their inheritance, and the will merely states that if the Birch Grove doesn't comply with the conditions imposed on it the painting will be left to another museum instead. One that has enough legal resources to steamroll over Birch Grove.

Susan is a UPenn grad who got fired from her position. And with a previously unknown $195M+ work by a world famous artist involved, it's inevitable that the circumstances of the will and her and Nicholson's behavior and subsequent firings will somehow become known and the two cheaters will both become international laughing stocks who no organization will want to be associated with. It's a shame the story didn't go into these consequences.

Well done.

He has an Andy Warhol in a house? I don’t care what kind of security you think they have, it won’t be enough.

Lovely

Well written, 4 stars. Personally not a fan of the commercial like reference to the somewhat unproven Mediterranean diet, nor the favoritism towards immigrants, underpinnings are too political.

Nice little tale.

Awesome

A top notch story. Well told, with snow excellent twist. Five solid stats.

I agree with tangled below about his Agatha Christie comment. Well said!

Just wow. Perfect story. Easy 5*

5 stars - I liked this story, and it was exactly what I needed this cold January morning.

Have a nice day and happy 2024.

Thanks to the author for giving us a Goldilocks story. Just the right length, outrage, betrayal and retribution. And a believable happy ending to boot!

"But Susan had been intelligent." - Shouldn't that be "was intelligent?" "Had been" implies that she no longer is intelligent.

\

"I think I know what your wife is planning," - Tell us! What is she planning? How can she get around the inheritance?

\

Even though his father is dead, probate takes a while, he's going to file for divorce before the will clears probate. And we still don't know his wife's plan, nor his attorney's plan to counter it.

\

"Daniel asked her to put his divorce on hold." - WTF? Knowing Susan's plot, why give her wiggle room?

\

"The list of steps he would have to take in conjunction with the probate process was a lengthy one." - As I said earlier. The will probably won't have cleared probate before either divorce petition is heard.

\

With her desire to get a new meal ticket, the alimony won't last too long.

\

"(she hadn't moved after Senor Morgan's passing)," - Of course she didn't move, the house was left to her.

Outstanding! A new twist on the LW theme.

Cheating wife walked away unscathed!!!

Glad to see you post another good story. Thanks for the effort.

What a wonderful story! I can't believe this my first encounter with this author's work but I intend to make damned sure it won't be my last. Everything about this work was so right. even Susan was the most believable self entitled, social climbing wife I've ever read on these pages and instead of the usual "I've been a loving and loyal wife for 25 years so I deserve to be allowed to take a lover" drivel Susan was imbued with a series of gripes that a person as selfish as her would allow to fester into a complex and so her motive for cheating was all too credible. Even the sex scene when Daniel and Paloma coupled for the first time hit just the right tone, with just the right amount of detail to add further passion and tension but not so much as to cheapen it.

What a pity I can only score it five stars as it deserves so much more. My sincere thanks to the author for making my day!

A really good story, a rare one where values, honesty and morals are showed as much better value than the usual money and sex. In the ocean of unrealistic cheating-cuck fantasies, this is one rare little pearl that bring some light to this overflooded cucking-wives category. So, 10+ stars well deserved. Keep going.

Kudos and thanks for a well-constructed and well-written story. Please do another soon.

Before the will was read, I thought he would bequeth the Warhol to Paloma then Daniel would get it back when they hooked up. Happy you didn't take the obvious path.

Enjoyed the story, and welcome back. :)

Nice.

The writing is far to good for this site

Cute story, but certainly not erotic. Four stars ⭐️ for this one.

Great story 5*****

Well done.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What a story and a superb ending.

Ezra's will specifically said, "The second bequest concerns the Andy Warhol hanging in my living room." So it could have been argued that the fake Warhol hanging in the living room was indeed the one being left to the museum, and Daniel could have maintained that the real one that had been in his possession for years had been given to him by Ezra as a gift. But then he would have had to sell it to pay the inheritance tax and split what was left with Susan. Better to complete the donation...after the revelation of the fake had destroyed Nicholson's career and marriage.

Daniel was never interested in material things. As he said to Susan, "family, friends, community," were his priorities in life. He was content with his career in academia and was very good at it, as evidenced by the students who had been worried about him. So he had the friends and community, as Paloma and Marcos filled the hole in his life that Ezra's death and Susan's betrayal had created.

Clever and tricky. Well written. 5 stars DMW aka

A good story 4*

It's been a while since I've seen an LW story so well-written, Thank you, CB, for the entertainment.

All is well that ends well. Nicely Done! 5*.

Legally his inherited art is not communal property

A good plot, tense, fast-paced, pretty well written thriller! Flows well, so it's very easy to follow, even for us seniors, eh-pardon? Congratulations! Five-stars! Well-done! Thank you!

-Richard Fitzwellyn.

Yes, you can only applaud that. Well done!

A very well written story. I enjoyed everything about the story. 5 stars from Xluckylee

GREAT story!!!! Well done! 5 stars from here ;)

A very good story. Amazing how Karma balances everything out....................

Nice Very nice Everybody who deserves it gets fucked over

Clever and well written! Full Marks - 5

Paloma is a Bengali name. BTW 5* from me.

4.5 stars. I took 1 star off because if he was REAL smart, his will would have stipulated that the ex wife would have been demoted with no pay decrease BUT fired once divorce was complete, so she wouldn't get spousal support which just rewards her bad behavior. Also, personally I think giving the painting to the museum is rather bad idea, but the author gave some sort of excuse in MC's mind so can't take points off for that.

Good story, enjoyed the telling. Thanks for your writing.

I liked it. I would suggest tacking on an Epilog with Susan learning about Grant's embarrassing fall. And her learning that all her schemes were pointless. So now she's worse off than she was and her aspirations were doomed from before she even started.
