It wasn't necessary, but it worked.

I give full points for originality in the cheating slut's confession. She was a greedy cheating slut. Traylor still got everything he deserved, and if it had become a fraud charge, he could have gotten even more time in a Fed pen. In a way, Hubby did him a favor by framing him for the theft to begin with. Also, great addition of Gillian as Hubby's new love interest. Excellent sex scenes there.

5 Stars!

I liked it

because it shows that there are many interesting stories out there. "My dick got hard watching my wife with another man " is not that interesting. Well thought out story *****

Too implausible

First he's a super clever schemer who laid a fool proof trap for his wife and her lover. Then he is a monstrous idiot who gets entangled in his ex's fraud. Do you really think they could sell an newly discovered Pissarro without setting the art world on its ear? They'd never get away with it and I'll bet the ex manages to make him the fall guy. After all, she has the perfect alibi, she was in prison when the deal went down. What a grade A moron he is.

Fuck that

Burn the paintings and give her a Polaroid snap shot of them going up in flames just to piss the bitch off. Cunt gets all pissy at him and puts a large chunk of the blame on him for her shit life, bitch was out as soon as she opened her fucken cheating legs instead of trusting her husband enough to tell him in the first place, without trust there is nothing. Greedy bitch just got to hung up on money. And what kind of mutt threatens to axe her kids if the husband doesn't come in and visit her so she can get all high and mighty and tell him in no uncertain terms that he pretty much fucked up everything and he is nothing but the worst peice of gash to her. Bitch at least he doesn't have the smell of a cheating snatch on him. Is it his fault because he failed to see her plan from the start because she didn't trust him enough to talk to him first and explain shit? what was he supposed to do? be a wimp? fuck that theres too much of that shit coming in on this site lately, he done what he had to do to keep his girls and get rid of a percieved cheating whore wife. she said she thought if he loved her he could have seen it through and forgiven her, but would she be able to honestly put herself in his position if the roles were reversed and do the same? she doesnt seem like the forgiving type with her attitude in this story. he burned her and she made it very clear that her love for him was dead, wheres her forgiveness? She failed her family with her failure to communicate with her husband, her lack of trust and her greed for money. anyway that's my rant and I did like the story, it had an interesting plot to it, I didn't really care much about hooking up with the judge part. I would've went down the "fuck he ex over even more" path with the ceremonial torching of the paintings. Lol. I prefer the burn the bitch/bastard plots. Cheers for the read.

Not bad ...

But if his reaction to his wifes betrayal was a nuclear response, why didn't he go ballistic over his sister aiding his now ex-wife convict? And keeping it a secret from him. I liked the reaction the Arlene had about being setup and sent to jail. From her POV it made sense. Her use of the kids to make him come see her was cruel and I am a little surprised that you wrote it that way. I thought he would have taken the letter to his divorce lawyer. Show that she is intentionally manipulating the kids emotions. Then get them counciling. Then he would go see her. By that time she would have known that it didn't work and now she may have lost her kids. But they would still have the meeting she wanted and they would still have that conversation. I kind of expected he would find someone else, but I don't think it would have been the prosecutor. Stil, the sex scenes were good. I gave it 4*.

I appreciate your work, thank you.

1* should of quit while you were ahead imhapless

Way to much bullshit logic that makes zero sense and a completely different main character personality wise from the first chapter.

Why did she have to have sex 4 times if its only for security for Traylor as once would of been more than enough to get the insurance Traylor wanted via the pictures. Hell they could of recorded a confession of her admitting the whole scam and it would of been enough to fuck her over from a legal point of view.

The whole sister betraying her brother with the whore who destroyed him and his kids lives was just to out of place as is hubby not wanting to move house or sell any of their art to help the kids deal with losing their mother. Hubby and Jen risking going along with such an illegal plan also is just to much to believe.

So after cheating on him, breaking up their family, threatening to take his home, his kids and make him pay child support all just so she could have two fucking paintings and then threatening to fuck up his kids heads even more if he doesn't go along with her plan we the reader are supposed to believe he will help her out?

And hubby who after all his callous planning to keep his children and fuck the whore and loverboy over suddenly turns into a wimp and not only takes the shit she gave him but helps her get out of jail? Also wifey with a criminal record for theft ending up with a job as a para legal is just fucking fantasy.

Considering the husband's character in chapter 1, Cybawulf's idea of him sending the whore pictures of of her precious paintings on fire along with the ashes seems way more likely or even going to Ginger and letting her in on wifey's little scheme to defraud Peter.

too much

i'm all for a btb story when it's merited, but stories like this seem more like a celebration of hate and injustice. the 'she got revenge and made me watch' stories are like that too.
i recently re-watched that video 'collateral murder' on wikileaks and saw how the attitude of the betrayed avenger in these stories exactly match the attitude of that helicopter gunner towards that samaritan and his kids.
kinda leaves a bad taste in your mouth, you know? takes the fun out of it.

Sure was different

I gotta say one thing -- if anyone says that how the story came out was predictable, they are a damn liar. Bizarre, but certainly original.

By the way, if someone liked the original ending why would they read this sequel, then criticize you for writing it when you specifically told them not to bother if they liked the first ending? Beats me?

OK, sooooo.....

She "tried" to explain it away without using the typical excuses. I admit it WAS more complicated than simple adultery, However, none of it was justifiable. He WOULD have supported her position on acquiring the artwork. He would NOT have tolerated (and didn't) the need for her to use sex to get it. If Traylor had trust issues about the deal, they could have found a way to write up some sort of contract or SOMETHING (OK I don't know, but there would have had to be someway) that assured Traylor of the deal going forward, without her having to participate in blackmail sex. And what about just cutting Traylor out of the deal altogether. Arlene WANTED to cheat, she just still can't admit it to herself or others. I think she thought she had scored a coup when she used the line " I may have broke the 'forsaking all others' part of the vows, but you broke the 'for better or worse' part". This is such utter bullshit! She HAS to know he would never had done what he did if she hadn't betrayed him completely FIRST! It wasn't some accident, or a one time slip where she had been drugged or even rape. It was well thought out, cold, and calculating. She knew exactly what she was doing and what she was risking. And maybe I missed it, but did she EVER sincerely apologize? You are not supposed to pick and choose what vows are OK to break. Once she whored herself out, the marriage is over. "In good times and bad", is reserved for two people that are equally committed to each other. Quite right that she is trying to excuse her behavior and shift blame. It is so typical of a damaged self image. She is the one who needs therapy, and she is the one who needs to accept full accountability for her actions. Until she was ready to look him in the eye and know that the total fault for the destruction of their marriage was fully on HER shoulders, I would have left her to rot behind bars. She is in jail to learn her lesson. Never once in this chapter did it seem like she had. He only enabled her justifications, and catered to her whims. I can imagine he was motivated by his own guilt for the frame-up, however, once you take a stand, and decide to teach her a lesson, he needed to follow through until it was learned. There WAS more to the story than just chapter one, so I am glad that you decided to continue it. It IS nice to see he can move on an find love with somebody else. (although why is it always with the lawyer?) But, I felt that your continuation was a little weak on the emotional impacts that you described, but didn't delve deep enough into, allowing the reader to experience it as more than just an observer. Telling us about the daughter's problems wasn't as effective as a well written conversation between them (that had convincing dialogue) would have been. I think you rushed this out to please a part of your audience, but perhaps you should have worked a little longer to make sure of exactly what message you wanted to send to your readers. With a little more work, you may have found a better way to convey it. Thanks for your efforts, though, and I look forward to your next story.

A cheating slut at heart

A TRUE wife would not throw her marriage away for any reason or amount of money. And, in reality the children after finding out what their "loving" mother did to their father (even if it is years or a decade later) to begin with would hate her for her actions. Some countries still believe in stoning an adulterous wife, compared in this story; Arlene got off extremely easy. Not saying all that the guy in this story line was right. But, with her thowing away marriage vows for monetary means; justifiable in a sense. I think the daughters in this realistically being under the impression that their own mother had stollen their possesions would've despised her & never want to see her again. And, his sister for taking sides of an adulterous wife; must not love or care much about her own brother or, family for that matter.

Why didn't he ask the slut why it was necessry for her to get together with Traylor four times?

I mean, if they REALLY just had this affair so Traylor could get incriminating photos to use for blackmail, they could have met once, for 5 minutes, and just posed for the camera and faked the sex. They could have met at lunch time, without the husband even missing the wife. No need for her to go out in the evening, four times, and not return until after midnight. The way the wife did it, she obviously didn't care about her marriage. Austen should have told the ex-wife that she was just making up excusses, and let her rot. The daughters would get over it. And he certainly should have cut all ties to the sister, for going behind his back. 1 star.

So... what???

She had an excuse. Money. Really! This was lame. When she threatened to take the kids and the house, she left him no choice but to go nuclear. He had to deal with her because the Family Court system is not fair, and he would have been punished for her whoring herself out. She rubbed his face in that. His reaction, while being a little over the top, was decisively efficient, and completely her fault. His sister is a whole other can of worms. The guy in the first story got pushed, and showed resolve. This guy has none. What's worse is he appears to covet the paintings as much as she does. Which makes him just as much of a greedy douche.

5***** for the managing well the children interest!

Very good Revenge Story epilog chapter!
1. In my Revenge Story bentchmark the second best story is ("How Are You? from Vulcez is the first) FrancisMacomber's (FM) "The Six O'Clock News Slot". That story contains a much better believable Modern Figaro Type revenge campaign, as this. However FM's story shows a common thing to this story. If a total winner ex husband (also to get the children custody in the divorce is the TOTAL TRIUMPH!!!!!) has a such ex wife who was a simple cheater and not a street walker whore level slut, he must build connection between the children and the mother of his children.
( Itmgr2010's story "Black & Tan Blues" is my 4th in my bentchark and that story manages the mother-children relation after succesful children custody triumph similar!) This story manages this question similar very well, special thanks for the Author. However if the ex wife was a street walker whore level slut the children mother connection rebuild is A HUGE MISTAKE!!!!!!!!! The ex wife is a simple greedy gold digger cheater!
2. I am glad, the author shows an exhusband who rebuilds his personal life and the ex husband finds a good Second Chance woman candidate. To be ANGRY THE REVENGE STORY HATERS!

Usually what guys are accused of...

This business of her spouse and even her children being mere possessions to her. This "love" she thought she had was merely treating them like pets. She could walk all over their love for her, their devotion to the relationship, even his own self-respect, and somehow expect them all to blindly love her back. Jeeze, next thing you know, she'll pick up her husband by the ears and shake him around for the news cameras. (did that just date me?) Her husband and even her children were just possesions to be traded away when she wanted something else more. I found it interesting that he didn't call her on that. I need to go take a shower after all that slime.

thanks for the story

the whore wife blames him for breaking up their marriage

his sister betrayed him. Why not be more correct, the pictures were done when the marriage was in effect and are community property, with her in jail he owns them. Take the pics, sell them, leave the slut in jail, keep the DA. The kids over time will outgrow the problems concerned with their criminal mom. I am even sure with the adultery and criminal charges the wife could be ruled and unfit mother and never allowed near the kids again.

Not a very nice person

So we learn she is a thief as well as a whore. She whored herself out so that she and her paramour could defraud an old man who came to them for an honest assessment of his collection.

Rather than give him an honest answer, they set out to steal from him and, just to keep trust among thieves, she puts herself in a position for blackmail. Personally I think the DA should have filed additional charges for fraud and tried for doubled her sentence in a medium security prison instead of the country club.

by bruce2209/09/13

It caught my attention

The story leaves you with a lot of doubts. His wife will not accept that here four fucking sessions were worth losing her husband, spending time in prison, and losing her license as a lawyer. Perhaps the half a million dollars that they hope to realize selling the Pissaro balances the books a bit. Basically the joke about for better or for worse left my stomach agitated. In fact, perhaps the DA would have been better off getting all three of them for fraud. Personally I do not understand how they would even be able to talk to him knowing they had been set-up. Thus the conclusion that the author did an excellent job...

Very difficult situation

It is a difficult thing. He sent his wife (and the loverboy) into prison with trick (euphamism of fraud) so he is in trap situation, because he is in difficult situation to go to the DA to accusse his ex wife with newer fraud. I think the only solution to forget the civil responsability and he should close his eyes. He will not get any DIRECT money from her wife (and her loverboy)'s fraud so he has not any direct responsibility in the fraud. The wife explanation was the next she could help their commom daughters from the fraud money. He does not want to do anything except for helping his exwife to get the parola. I am not a good at the criminal law of the all USA states and the federal law, so I do not know what is the law view in such situation. The ex husband knows a fraud of his ex wife and he will not get direct money from it. The wife tells him she will help her (and common) daughters teaching fees from this fraud money............
In Central Europe we would close our eyes........no direct money transfer from the fraud money so a court would not sentence the ex husband to prison in Hungary after the detected fraud crime........if the ex wife closed her mouth about she told her ex husband the promised daughters assisting.........

sorry

you should not listen to commentars if you have no clue where you wanna go with a story. this is even worse than part one. I did like the story besides what you called "nuklear revenge". after this part I would say it was not enough. he should have killed both of them inkluding his sister.

what an arrogant thing to say of her : I thought that you loved me enough ....I screwed up the 'forsaking all others' part of our marriage vows, but you screwed up the 'for better or for worse' part. .... plus, they need me.

no nobody needs a whore, a liar, a thief, a fraud and a blackmailer, nobody.

I would have stolen those 2 paintings, sold it, even if they would have not brought full price and have disappeared with my kids. not only my ex wife, no even my sister would be really bad company for them and for sure no example how to live a life.

I can't believe that you write like some judges rule. good for the offender and bad for the victims. do you think this woman will ever change just so little, after she got all she wanted ? with her blackmailing ? she has the money, she has work , she has the kids and no she never wanted her husband so she gives a fuck.

you should have let it with one part, this is shit.

You Missed

You missed an opportunity that most of us would have liked you to have dialogued with her!

When he paid her a visit in prison she very coldly advised him that she knew he wouldn't want her back and she wanted him to know that she despised him, would never consider him agin and to know just how much she despised him!

Well, here he should have calmly told her that he wasn't the least bit surprised, and not because she was in prison, but because her attitude, conduct, calculating deceit and lying for some artifacts clearly pointed out that she really didn't have any respect for him, the girls or her vows. She was a cold calculating bitch with self interest and marriage vows and motherhood meant nothing so - NO, he was just sorry he never really knew her, even in the beginning.

That fact that she now says she wants to pay for the girls' college from the sale of the art - sure...now, maybe(?). Was she going to stay married if she wasn't caught...probably but she had already lost respect for him and the children while she was lying and cheating so she is now a completely different person.

BTW, she could have told hubby about the proposition and they could have worked out something different with Traynor but then...she didn't really view her husband as intellectually up to understanding her, the arts or anything else so she would just, and always, do her own thing!

Okay, enough. She is still justifying her actions and at the end of your story, she still feels that she was better than him. Oh, and he could easily threaten her to get half of the proceeds from the picture but as long as she set up a fund for the girls school, what the heck. Notice, she is still honoring her deal with Traynor?

Thanks for the story, sorry my comment is so long but you missed what I thought was an important character evaluation of her.

Children, Children and children interest the first

If he is not reconcile with his ex he will not be wimp. However they have common children, so they will have common interest. If he is not in connection with his ex wife's fraud he will not be sinner according to the Hungarian law......I do not know the USA law.......

Good, till I thought about it.

The main reason he did what he did was she told him she would fuck him in the divorce and take the kids. She gave him no reason for her affair, no way out but like it or lump it, so he got her first. This bullshit about for better or worst doesn't wash, she told him to get fucked, no love, no marriage, no choice. Only after weeks and their ass on the line did she feel he was owed a little bit of the truth, way too little way too late. She fucked the guy over and over cause she wanted to, most likely even after the fact, yet he folds. Liked the first one much much better.

Gordian knot

Well, we just went from a Gordian knot to a plate of spaghetti. Convoluted and convoluteder!

Hapless forgot to mention that Gillian was a double transsexual. 'Her' hubby was gay, so she crossed to male (complex surgery) to marry him. After the divorce, she went under the knife again to go BACK to female, and healed just in time for Our Hero! Otherwise, the 'anal was in our near future' might have been an even bigger surprise (and more egalitarian) than Our Hero expected!

Why, why, why can't anyone follow instructions

To anyone who says that I should have quit after the first story, I WASN'T WRITING THIS STORY FOR YOU AS I CLEARLY SET FORTH IN THE PREAMBLE. I was writing it for the couple of dozen people who sent emails and made comments crying to know what Traylor and Arlene would have said to Austen if he had listened. If you didn't want to know you shouldn't have wasted your time reading this story -- it wasn't for you!

Also, I wasn't writing this story to provide the same bullshit excuses for cheating in every other story I've read. This was a UNIQUE excuse, even if bullshit.

As an aside, this story was much more believable than any James Bond movie -- you can't deny that (ha, ha).

Only the 5. point is not sure

1. The exhusband gets rid of the cheating wife.
2. The ex husband had new wife candidate.
3. The ex wife lost the children custudy, he got.
4. The ex wife got parola so she could meet her children with liberal visiting. (children interest)
5. The ex husband does not get direct money from the exwife and Traylor's fraud, so he is not accomplice according to the Hungarian law.......... If the police would discover the fraud.
6. Everybody (ex wife and Traylor) closes their mouths................common interest.
What is the matter? Why he is wimp?

Actually...

I liked this story for it's sense of closure. Here is why I scored it low: (1) writing was rushed since you already had the end in mind; (2) 401K's are part of any divorce settlement; and (3) no DA is going to sink their hard fought case (It would have been better if the husband had hooked up with Gillian before meeting the wife). You came up with a good explanation from the wife but it made her more despicable as a person. Think about it - in the first part she was a cold bitch who wanted her husband to live with her cheating. In this part of the story, not only is she the kind of person in the first part but she cheats an old man out of a fortune, sell out her marriage for artwork and use her children to get a view of that artwork. Yes- her husband put her in prison but she had threaten to take his kids and ruin his life. So now what - she gets out of jail and later sell those paintings for a fortune. Arlene will then turn the kids against their father and new wife since they put her in jail. Remember even in jail Arlene was a unrepentent bitch blaming her husband for "overeacting." If you wrote a thirs part it would not surprise me if Arlene after the kids go to college go after her ex-husband and Gillian to even the score. BTW: In the first story Arlene is sentenced for 3 years but this part she senenced for 4 years.

Decent Sequel

Although I was one of the culprits that said it didn't need a sequel, I was pleasantly surprised this this one. No matter what the details, in my mind the most important detail was Austen possibly getting back with his cheating ex-wife. Not only didn't that happen, he met and fell in love with someone more honorable. So by the end he is a happy man in love. I don't give two fucks about the ex. Let greed rule her life. Fuck her.

i usually enjoy BTB stories, but found myself feeling sorry for the wife in this one, the husband gets his nose put out of joint because he finds her f------g another guy , then in a pompous ass rage destroys her without any thought of the effects on their daughters,all the other 'arty/theft' stuff was nonsense, and in the end ends up with a hot lawyer who screws him at the drop of a hat?.......crap!

an artistic endeavor

IH, I gotta say you really came up with a doozey of a continuation for the first story.

I really did enjoy this second posting as much as the first.

But..........

then I got thinking, always a risky enterprise, cause if you dive too deep into your bellybutton you can wind up a Klein bottle.

It was interesting that both the characters of Arlene and Austen allow greed to motivate their activities. A lust for collectibles is another form of the sin of Lust.
And both had the lust for money to resolve their issues. How did that work out for you in your own life?

The two daughters and Gillian are the ones I feel sorry for. Down the road both girls will pay a price for being raised by such a morally challenged couple. And yes both Austen and Arlene have committed a series of crimes against their marriage as well as the legal system.

How will the two ex-spouses-in-crime clandestinely sell the paintings without Taylor's assistance and contacts? Without being robbed or cheated by the scum suckers who deal in art works of questionable derivation?

And when this all goes south, you don't even need to ask about the effect upon the daughters. Gillian, at the very least is going to feel suckerpunched and exploited to have provided the ex-spouses the opportunity to commit more criminal activities. More likely she will be lumped in with those two as an accomplice. Her career will be destroyed........just as Arlene was? Huh, do you think, maybe Arlene is trying for her own revenge against the prosecutor who sent her to prison?

If Taylor gets any indication the Arlene had doublecrossed him and was now going through with the deal using her ex-husband, Taylor has nothing to lose by rolling over on the two. He might even work out a reduced sentence.

Other commentators have brought up the actors and others who might be induced to give testimony against Austen. A drug bust or some other legal collision and I think they would volunteer to talk to cut a deal.

Let's say everything goes smoothly, no hitches. Without Taylor, they are not going to get a million but lets say half that. They are going to have to set some of that aside for Taylor, so he knows when he gets out at least least he'll have a stake to start over.

Damn it, I did another diatribe. IH i want to apologize if my analysis is offensive but unfortunately this is the way my mind malfunctions on a regular basis.

A couple of problems

So did his Sister betray him by completing the art deal and not telling him ANYTHING??? That seemed like stabbing him in the back. And since he had the paintings, couldn't he sell them? And what made him think that Arlene would honor ANY deal she made with him? She had already demonstrated that her only loyalty was to the art deal. And one last thing. If his girls are getting along SO well with his sister and they were having such a good time with Gillian, why did they need their Mother so badly? Especially since he was about to move in with Gillian? Like THAT wouldn't have been a disaster for the kids? Not a bad story, but there were a number of questionable things that made it less enjoyable.

Wow

Okay...I've read this whole story.

From your moniker, and a few of the comments I saw, I truly thought all you wrote was cuck tales. As I have little interest in pure cuck tales, I have given your work a pass.

How foolish of me. This was reasonably crafted as a series. You had a couple of set ups. The fact that the hubby set HER up was absolutely no surprise.

This back story, while a trifle contrived, still was reasonably delightful. It was complex but self supporting, from her love of art, to the 'guilt' sex, to her breakdown of the assets (though that really never went anywhere) to her hesitation at leaving, to the confrontation with Jack.

Threads you (criminally) left dangling you filled in here. I also appreciate that divorce doesn't automatically lead to the land of Lollipops and sex goddesses. He divorced her...and things weren't rosy.

So my apologies. I will sample a bit more of your writing. It was direct, straightforward and mostly realistic.

I enjoyed these stories.
