Richard was my boss. "Sure thing, Richard. I'll be there in ten minutes."

I felt adrift. I was starting to feel paranoid about the whole situation. I took a deep breath and calmed down. I fiddled with the recorder and placed a bookmark right before Tonya's disclosure, and then skipped forward. I glanced down at the clock and saw that that I had less than an hour before my meeting. I logged into my bank and checked my accounts again. Everything was still there. I went to see Richard.

Richard was all smiles and was holding an envelope in his hand. After we shook hands, he gave me the envelope. "Paul, you did a great job on the McGreggor account. Our sales staff nearly lost this account three months ago when I asked you to come in and smooth out the details. I believe you contributed more to landing this account than the sales did, so I went to bat for you. Congratulations, you are splitting the commission with sales on this one, and take the afternoon off, you deserve it."

I thanked Richard, and left the office. I opened the envelope and found a payroll bonus check for 100,000 before taxes. The actual amount was less, but I had never seen a check this large in my life. The McGreggor account was worth 20 million dollars. I had no idea that sales would get a 1% commission for landing these types of accounts.

The highs and lows of the last 24 hours were starting to freak me out. I was thankful that Richard had given me the afternoon off to figure out my life. I went down to the clinic and told Sherri that I was going to visit a sperm bank this afternoon and try to get a copy of their release forms. I would have the afternoon off to listen to the rest of the recording and decide where my life was going.

**********

The ten thirty meeting went well, I was simply there as an advisor to the other parties. I was sitting next to Mary from accounting. Mary was also there in an advisory role too, and I knew she had gone through a divorce last year. After the meeting, I asked Mary of she could give me the name of her attorney.

"Paul, I'm sorry. I noticed that your wife didn't come to the banquet last night. I thought you might be having problems, but I didn't know it was this bad. I know it's not my business, so I won't ask.

"Thank You, Mary. I was hoping that you could keep this discreet. This may all blow over, and you know how the rumor mill is around here. I am hoping that you can keep this one under you hat."

"So, it's true. You are at least thinking about divorce, aren't you?"

I glared back at her.

"Sorry Paul, you're right. It is none of my business, and I promise that I won't tell a soul that I gave you the number of my divorce attorney."

is going to end. Once, again, any positive suggestions would be welcome.

"Thank You, Mary. Please see that you keep your word on this one." I reached down and deliberately turned off the recorder that was in front of us.

**********

Thank You, for reading my story. I welcome any input to the plot, character development, or to my writing style. This is a multi part story. I have not decided how it is going to end. Once, again, any suggestions would be welcome.

Was this supposed to end when it did? Are you planning more chapters?

AnonymousAnonymousalmost 4 years ago
Too much or too little

Left yourself a lot of room

So only ok so far

jtwheelsjtwheelsabout 5 years ago
Questions I honestly don't like the princess and doors story like endings even if I don't agree

Also as another comment std test more important

Funds put hold on bonus check if possible

Not only sperm donor but maybe more with Sherry

AnonymousAnonymousover 5 years ago
Don't Cash the Check

Haven't read anything to follow this opening story but one thing for sure is to file the check away until you know what the hell is going on with Tonya. Also might start wondering about that STD test,

Great Start

What a letdown for this successful husband finding out his cunt wife is cheating on him and has an attitude. Fucking cunt. I'll continue...

AnonymousAnonymousalmost 13 years ago
Yeah,the setup is good bruce. But the rest is up to shit.

Boring and senile. Nuf said.

Very Good Setup

We have a lot on the plate. The author admits that the wife makes a habit

out of fitting hot moments into small spaces... Money has apparently been misplaced. When I read about the STD exam my first thought is that he has not cheated but....

Luckily I missed this one, so I can read several chapters today!

The plot thickens...

in the next chapter, I hope. You have created an interesting set of circumstances and characters. How you weave them together will be interesting. I look forward to reading the next installment.

suggestion

What Paul should or could deal with:

What happened to his savings? Don't let that bitch get away with that shit. The bank might be able to provide a deposit/withdrawal history. Get creative with ways to spend your money such as using the savings to pay your attorney OR taking a 2nd mortgage out on your home.

Who is Ben and how long has he been tapping Tonya? He gas retribution coming, big time. He obviously knows she's married. Use the savings to hire a good PI.

A lot of cheating wives who actually do love their husbands make one mistake and get royally fucked over by husband. You have created a bitch who desparately needs her ass handed to her in a sling,

What's the chance Paul finds he has an STD given by the wife? She will have to notify ALL her fuck-buddies and on down the line. This is a great and safe way of confronting her. "Ugh, honey, who gave you the clap?"

Looking forward to your next chapter. Find out how to notify readers so those who want can be alerted.

Thank You, for your comments.

Wow, I AM happy with the comments and suggestions. I am sorry about the Tonya/Tanya problem. It's supposed to be Tonya. The rest of the chapters will reflect that, and I may edit this one to correct for that mistake.

For the comment about timing, the banquet started at 6PM, so Paul had to leave before that, and give himself time to get to the venue in rush hour traffic. He was away from the home for about four hours. Tonya had the timing down, because she has done this on several occations.

Sherri had access to company medical files because she is a nurse at the company clinic.

I will try and have the second installment posted in the next few days. This entire story will probably be 4-6 chapters.

A good start

I'll echo most of the comments here that you had a good start - make that a very good start - to this story. You've grabbed readers with a central appealing character, an interesting situation - the proposed baby contract - and an interesting mystery - why is the guy's marriage in the toilet and how did his wife pull off the meeting with her lover in the time parameters you set out.

As to how you're writing the story, I honestly don't see anything wrong with making it up as you go along, with one proviso. I usually turn in completed stories but right now I'm at the beginning of a long story that I am writing as I go. I'm coming up with new ideas and I've even taken in a few from readers that I've decided fit into the story I'm telling.

But, and this is a big BUT, I know where I'm going. The story may take a few jogs, but the ending is going to be where I've envisioned it before I set down to write the first word. I've had the experience when writing in other genres of starting a story and then either losing steam or writing myself into a corner I couldn't get out of without a complete rewrite. And I wasn't writing those on a website where readers were looking over your shoulder as you were working.

But, you said this was your first effort here and the only way you ever find out if you can swim is to jump into the water. I'm looking forward to seeing how your maiden voyage goes.

Terrific start to a story

The commenter that noted there was no real end to the story was right. . .

BUT, it was a good start to what could be a very good story.

I hope there is more coming.

Excellent start

Focus on dialogue and action and reduce the exposition... and the advice to use an outline is right on...
