"I fell for it and was soon wearing more provocative clothes. He sent flowers and chocolates, then asked me for lunch. Stupidly, I went and he started asking me personal questions about my life, my husband, and eventually my sex life. It was not long until he was disparaging my husband, calling him beneath me. It was like a drip-drip, and he wore away at me.
"Then he asked me to go away this weekend. Thankfully, Lew was on the ball. He served me with this letter, telling me he would divorce me and I came to my senses. I have told Alistair that I'm not going, and my husband and I are working on a plan to save our marriage. I was going to phone you and make an official complaint, so I'm glad you are here."
Woods looked at the CEO, who just nodded. Then, he spoke, "Well, Ruby, we are glad you are prepared to be honest. Yes, it was a very big mistake and you are lucky you still have a job. We are having a problem with the quality of AM Metals products, so we are closing the account. That will remove Mr Clarke from the office permanently. So we will take no further action against you, but if you do anything like this again, you are out. Is that understood?"
Ruby meekly said, "Yes."
They both bid us farewell and left.
After they had gone, we ate some lunch, then started the search for a counselor. It was easy enough to get one. We phoned for an appointment and she wanted to see us the next day, Saturday. The time was set, then we sat and looked at each other.
After about ten seconds, I walked over to Ruby, took her hand and dragged her to bed. We literally were fucking for a good twenty minutes. We then lay in bed and I fell asleep with my head on her chest. I awoke close to five o'clock, and we made slow, sweet love, probably for the first time since she had met Clarke.
The counselling sessions went very well. Ruby realised that Clarke played with her fear of our life being mundane, and she recognised that she divulged all of the information to him that he used to push his plan. She accepted it was only a game to him, and came to appreciate just how good a life we had together. We did not need anyone to teach us anything. The counselling lasted three months.
Four years later, we are very happy and Ruby is pregnant with our first child.
As for Mr Clarke. He was out in our local shopping mall and had a very nasty fall going down a set of stairs into the car park. No one knew how it happened, but there were at least five husbands that didn't like him in the mall that day. We were all dressed in identical black clothes with baseball caps on, so no one could tell us apart. We all went to a coffee shop, then one of us got up, came back, another got up, came back, and so on. No one could tell who was at the table and who had left.
The police tried to break us, but no one gave up the names. I'm sure it wasn't one of us, promise!

Praetus13 days agoMy issue is the ending wrapped it up as a series of almost bullet points and it feels an afterthought. She still WANTS to do it.
At no point do we see a swerve until Alastair is nasty to her. Then it's all "oh what a MEANIE".
I THINK it'd have been better if she'd had her come to jesus earlier or an actual "I was wrong" and a scene of actual self awareness and remorse, not just fear of losing her comfortable life.
Ridiculous6913 days agoA good writer. It a so so story. The wife seems to escape any real consequences for her actions and it seems like she would be ripe for another seduction attempt down the road.
Anonymous13 days agoWhy would he want to keep her? If she has his kids, they'll have half her genes, probably a similar intellect, which means they'll be just as stupid. He should count his lucky stars that she proved who she really is, before they reproduced. 3 stars, best I can do.
Anonymous2 months agoKatie: "I hope she comes to her senses, she can't be that stupid to think it's OK for her, but not OK for you."
====> yes Ruby can and is that stupid. One missed plot opportunity: no discussion of all thr marriages the asshoke destroyed, the recent divorce triggered by infidelity with thr predator in the same company, and the other two women being pursued, the most recent before Ruby, being Dan's wife. Wtf? It was in the report. Yeah she took it upstairs. She didn't see any of that? Hubby didn't tell her to read the whole thing? Or tell her about thr other assignstions that destroyed or were about to destroy marriages? Ruby was a bit of a nutcase with the crazy hypocrisy. His plan B should have shocked her, but the asshole smooths it all over? Hubby makes it vociferously clear he will divorce her and serve her on Saturday morning at the hotel if she follows through and there will be no going back. But she still takes her overnight bag to the office? Somehow the pre-action letter changes anything? I am ok with reconciliations after a pre-emptive strike to shake up the dynamic and open the cheaters eyes provided it had not progressed too far (their emotional affair was not that long, like 2 months and not yet that intense beyond the predators indoctrination and smooth talk) AND she did not disparage or demean the husband (she didn't ardently defend him, but she did notnherslef diss him, though by not defending him, that means trouble). But despite the pre-emptive strike, the folder (though no discussion about all the other marriage destructions laid at thr feet of the asshole), his strident refusal and his clear ultimatum AND timing, instead it requires the pre-action letter? That is stretching things foe reconciliation. She was really brainwashed. The husband was proactive, and even then it just barely stopped her idiocy. That is anhard pill to swallow even with her epiphany and their counseling.
Did like the ending with five guys, identically clothed and covered, and slipping out one by one and coming back and not ratting anyone out. That is damn hard for the cops to do squat! Good ending.
5 stars for creativity, except the lack of anything about all the other seduction and marriages destroyed was a big miss imho.
