"You took a lot of my... our money," she accused. "I want it put back into our joint account - today."

I shook my head. "That's not going to happen. I know about your silent little nest egg." I didn't have proof, but Kelly fell for it. It was clear in her eyes. We were finally in the negotiation phase.

"I need some of that money," she pleaded. "I'm going to have to start all over. Your shenanigans will surely get me sacked from my job, you know. How am I going to afford the house?"

"You're still getting half our assets and money," I told her sternly. "You just won't be able to keep the hidden money for yourself. That's just another thing you should have told me about."

Kelly looked down at her coffee, forlorn. "I thought you were good." She said quietly and to herself. Then another thought came to her and she sat up with a start glaring at me. "You've ruined me. This took planning. You probably hired that hack journalist. You've been lying to me."

"Surely you understand," I said with a wide smile. "It was only acting." I stood and left straight away.

My solicitor called two days later. Kelly had hired a solicitor, and she'd signed the petition. She told her guy to have me sell the house and give him a check for half the proceeds. My wife fled back to the city of her old job. Unfortunately for her, Bronson, LLC had standards and morals due to its size. I guessed it didn't matter that she was previously screwing at least one of their clients. They would not hire her back. I'm told by Jonathan, that Kelly works for a smaller brokerage just outside of London.

As for me, well, Sarah and I had sex not even one week after my last meeting with Kelly. We went at it pretty regularly for a month, but we couldn't seem to find the romance in it all. We mutually agreed to go our separate ways, within two months. There had just been something missing.

Three months after my divorce was finalized, and eight months after Sarah and I split, she appeared on my doorstep one day.

"I miss you, Peter," she told me. "I'm wondering if you're seeing anyone and if you might want to give it another go?"

I quickly found that the thing that was holding me back had been me. I wasn't ready then for another relationship, but this time around, well!

Sarah and I ended up living a long and loving life together, and we spent our time just about anywhere except the theatre.

What struck me was the utter arrogance of this author to presume he could, or should, write a better ending to a story that was clearly meant to be a tongue in cheek exercise. His story was not even entertaining, and was certainly not believable.

This is a much better version,but your MC is still a total wuss..not the kind of guy I would ever have as a friend..no pride or self esteem or integrity. Lets face it,he allowed this to happen and took him forever to separate himself from this situation.Just a deplorable man,no wonder his wife took advantage of him,she knew he was a wimp..only 2 stars simply because your MC goes so much against the grain as to what a man is..even though he ended up doing the right thing..

10 Big Blazing Stars to Writer. You just can't fall in love with some one because you want to. When our MC got back with Sarah, he still loved her. Even though she cheated and was a slut, he loved her so much that it finally worked out after she learned to have respect for him again. Thanks. Buster2U

The original was a pretty good story and was left so it could have been a one off accident or the beginning of a cuckold or a deliberate betrayal. Your follow up was much better in how you took it on and I felt worked really well with the original characters. The wife pretty much exploded her own life. She'd been cheating and getting away with it but pushed the envelope and it all blew up on her. Good story BardnotBard
