"It's good to see you, Sheree," he said. April looked up and seemed surprised as well. Sheree held out her hand.

"It's actually Cheryl," she said. "Special Agent Cheryl Masters, FBI." She opened her jacket so they could see her badge. "And I want you both to know it's been a pleasure meeting both of you. I hope everything goes well for you."

"Would you really have screwed my husband that night in the club?" April asked. Cheryl smiled.

"In a New York minute," she said. "And I meant what I said. You'd better take good care of that man."

"I intend to," April said. The two women hugged each other for a few moments.

After saying their goodbyes, John and April walked down to the pier. As John stepped off the gangplank, a series of shots rang out and both he and April fell to the ground, their blood pooling on the concrete.

Ooh boy has this ever generated a whole stream of comments. My thoughts are as follows: she was drugged and blackmailed into doing these things so by definition was raped as she didn't do them of her own free will. She contacted the authorities who told her to keep husband in the dark plus appear to "enjoy" things to allow her to identify as many perps as possible. It's not nice or good but it's often how it has to be. Therefore she not a cheating wife so should be looked at for how she is. If her husband can get over what happened and she can then its appropriate to reconcile. BardnotBard

DONT KNOW TRAMP ABOUT THIS NO WAY CAN A REAL MAN TAKE BACK A WIFE THAT FUCKED THAT MANY GUYS

The really sad part about this is that April was the real victim here. Those bastards drugged and used her, then blackmailed her - with life-threatening consequences for her husband, which she knows they follow through on - ultimately leaving her in a no-win situation. Her husband was just collateral damage of the real ones that ruined their marriage. And I'm sure this sort of thing goes on in the real world all the time. Pretty fucked up when you think about it.

He was able to understand this and forgive her. They were married for 25 years and it's hard to throw away a lifetime of memories and good times, especially given the circumstances. It's easy to yell, "cheating whore, BTB!" Trust me as normally I'm the one waving the torch leading the crowd in that regard. But this story has shown me that sometimes someone betrays the one they love not through choice, but rather because they want to protect them.

Ask yourself: if you were in her position, what would you have done? Now I would argue that she shouldn't have bloody accepted that drink in the first place - that's a rule everyone should have: never accept drinks you don't see prepared yourself. But even after she woke up that first time after being drugged, she should have resigned instead of letting them use her and be a whore to bring down the corruption (that bit is admittedly a little more difficult to believe but it works for the story so I'll let it go). Alas, hindsight is 20/20. Without actually being in the husband's position and sharing a lifetime with someone, it's impossible to say with certainty what I would have done. Chances are I would have forgiven her actions given the circumstances, especially considering the alternative is depressing. Is it ideal? No, of course not, but life is never perfect. Sometimes you get fucked and you have to make the best of it. I think they're making the best of it.

Sorry but this was preposterous. She admits to acting like a whore and even enjoying the sex with multiple different men. She knew that it would end with a mass arrest and become public knowledge. How did she expect to explain this to her husband ? Witness protection would have been a believable the alternative. This entire plot was to contrived. The explanation that she treated him like crap for a year so he would not suspect anything is even further beyond belief. I will not bother to react the rest of this series.

This is not a SaddleTramp story, I don’t care what the name is at the end. Really, second chapter of four and they’re reconciling? Puh-leese!! That’s no SaddleTramp story. I’m done with this one.

2 stars.

Nice cliff hanger. Like the way you managed to rile all the BTB and myso's with the she was blackmailed and working for the FBI plot twist.

What a great piece of writing, & I'm only halfway through. I'm generally not a long-story reader for this type of story on Lit.com, but have to say this has everything: surprise, action, suspense, betrayal (no matter how extreme or the cause- maybe I should put parentheses around the word), & excellent writing. Commenters stated that they can't see the wife being given a 2nd chance, that she trusted the FBI more than her husband.

-- While I understand that, I also have to go with that she's fearing his & her own life, while helping put away those political scumbags. At least, that's what the story indicates thus far. There's nothing to suggest she's lying- yet, even tho her actions at the fundraising speech leads one to question. Perhaps she is still in cahoots with some of the remaining power pols, perhaps she IS being convincing per the FBI instructions. I'd think chptr 3 will give some insights.

-- For the 1st 2 parts: 5 stars. Bob
