Coldly I interrupted her, handing her another set of papers. "And in case you're wondering about Mark, here's a copy of the email I sent to Bobbi this evening with a copy of the detective's report attached. Underneath that, you'll find a similar email I sent to your sister Miriam explaining why I'm divorcing you."

She moaned in anguish and began to sob again. "I just don't understand. You were so loving and caring all these weeks. I can't believe you'd do such a cruel thing now. Didn't all that mean anything?"

"My dear," I said evenly, "when you embarked on your sordid little affair, you ended all the love I felt for you. So I've spent the last few weeks working to end your relationship with Mark. As for the way I treated you, well, I wanted to make sure you'd know how much you'd lost when you betrayed me. My goal was to take away from you the same things you'd taken from me, and as best I can tell, my plan has worked perfectly!"

Ann collapsed on the sofa, sobbing piteously. Before I walked away, I reached over and set the book of Poe short stories I'd been reading on top of the other documents I'd given her. The text was still open to "The Cask of Amontillado," and I'd used a highlighter to mark the passage containing the Montresor family motto for her to see:

"No one dishonors me with impunity."

Wonderful. If I found more than 5 degrees I would vote 10

I don't get that people don't understand this. It was a total burn, and a complete surprise at that. Very nice job! A downer of a story, because she threw away his love. I was thinking it would be a reconciliation right up until their final conversation. Nicely done!

Generally, I enjoy the author's stories. This one left me scratching my head?

I get what you were going for and I generally really liked the story, but I still felt a bit ambivalent about his "revenge". I mean, he DID smack her at an emotionally vulnerable time and rubbed her nose in it, so that much seems like it went off without a hitch, but as others pointed out - the "end" of the affair between Mark and Ann seemed far from conclusive. If there had been more acrimony, then I think it would have been perfect.

To all the smooth brains who wonder WHY OP did this, go read the last three paragraphs again. Sheesh... reading comprehension, ya know?

Except the very next day she was back with Mark and after both their divorces they moved in together, married 6 months after the divorce was finalised and pregnant with twins (a LW favorite) 6 months after that.

While she may have regretted how it ended with Mack, being a pragmatist she was happy to move on to Mark and the man sized cock he wielded.

Poor old Mack spent his days playing golf like a true cuckold, and rueing the day he stopped being able to satisfy his now ex-wife.

Such a stupid end. For this to have worked the affair would have had to completely cool down, and even then there's no way of stopping it from igniting again, especially if all impediments were removed.

Why go to all the trouble of the "divide and conquer" if he was going to divorce her anyway? Seems like a big waste of time. Seems like sending the evidence to family (and possibly friends) would have been more than enough humiliation and pain for her.

If he had treated the slut and the other man to the punishments of Poe, THEN, it would’ve been a truly great story!

If he planned to divorce her, the past few weeks were unnecessary. Just show her the photos and file. Four stars.
