Click hereThe law firm of Hardisty and Austin managed to reach a deal with the University Board of Regents that netted Gary and the children several million dollars in an out of court settlement.
The drama department, always a thorn in the side of the Dean for one reason or another, was shut down as a result of budget cuts. Budget cuts being a code for "revenge is sweet."
The sound of bitter, heartrending sobs had woken her. They were the visceral sounds produced by a soul in torment, torn from a woman who knew she had lost everything that she had ever held dear to her, or close to her, that she knew she would never hold again, or be close to, again. Ever.
When Vera touched her cheeks she realised that they were slick with her tears and that the sobs that had awoken her had been her own.
Some readers will recognise Ken Austin and his sister Dee Hardisty. They appear in my two part story "It Wasn't My Fault."
Best burn to a Psycho Bitch from the Deepest Darkest shit holes of Hell. Best to keep her locked up in a one way cell that never had a key to open it once occupied.
So basically she did it because she's bat-shit crazy? Hmm I dunno I didn't really pick up that vibe in the original though I suppose it's possible. I'd prefer a more down-to-earth explanation not involving her being nuts; just stupid and selfish, and then a reconciliation.
You Rock Matt!! Always have. Thanks for sharing and putting yourself out there constantly
This is not remotely like the original story. Became dark and twisted and sinister. Wth? The revenge was crazy over the top. People like this who read the original? What went from being tricked and duped and going too far to NPD, Schizophrenia, etc. Huh?
Always difficult commenting on a sequel by a different author. This sequel addressed my concerns when I read the original story. She's mentally ill was my my exact thought. OK the revenge was a little heavy and the lack of explanation of Reg and Penny's ultimate motives made the ending seem rushed. Still a good plot and conclusion.
Good story. Maybe over the top on the diagnosis of wife's medical illness, but her conduct certainly was extremely cruel and thoughtless.
To all the Literotica lawyers. Warrantless vehicle searches are lawful under US Supreme Court precedent if the police have Probable Cause to believe there is contraband in the vehicle. In fairness, PC is razor thin here though a combination of wife's admission about removing the gun and Reg's statements when Gary got home might (barely) make it.
Matt took a clever little story meant to seem humorous and turned it very dark.
From a point of view of plot, characters, research, editing etc. it is a 5.
Caveat, The destruction of a family by mental illness was torment for my soul.
In my opinion, the author should have continued the story to a good ending for the husband and children.
I guess I am a Romantic at heart.

Maybe a little heavy handed with both the drug thing and the mental illness of Vera, but it all sort of comes together in a way that helps me understand how she could have done such a thing. Good writing.
I agree with the prognosis of Vera. It's the only thing, in my mind, that can explain her cruel behavior towards her husband.
