Breaking Point 01: Pilot
The following is something just a little bit different. For me personally, part of the challenge is presenting a story in different and hopefully, entertaining ways. I hope you enjoy this little excursion into my universe.
Each story in this series can be read as a separate story, much like "The Cheating Zone."
The following was inspired by zig074's 2020 story, "
Cucked in Cabo
," about a wife who makes her husband an unwilling and humiliated cuckold during a seven-day vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. When they return, the wife asks the husband to search the term "cuckold" on Google.
The story ends with the wife encouraging her husband to have a good cry to get it out of his system, but we never know what the husband actually does. Like that story, the wife in this tale takes control of her husband, cuckolds him while on vacation with a co-worker and later asks the husband to search the term, "cuckold."
The similarities end there, however. The background is different, the characters are different and the husband reacts in a much different way.
Because this story is set in the alternate universe first created in my "
Revenge in Advance
" series, the HomeFront Security Task Force plays a role.
Many thanks to QuantumMechanic1957 for giving this a beta read. His suggestions have made this a better story, in my opinion. Also, many thanks to those who offered comments and constructive criticism on my previous stories. And yes, I do moderate comments.
For those who want to say this or that would never happen, remember this is my universe, a place where nearly anything can, and often does, happen. At least on paper... Remember, this is fiction, not a docu-drama...

The television screen turns blue as a warning flashes: "The following program contains subject matter of a mature nature and is intended only for adult viewing."
The warning fades and suddenly, the screen lights up in a blinding flash. As the flash dissipates, the viewer can see the tell-tale mushroom cloud of a nuclear detonation as it rises up from the ground. We hear the sounds of typewriter keys as words appear across the screen.
"The Saddletramp Information and News Service presents: BREAKING POINT! Tales of Extreme Cuckolding."
Beneath that, we see the subtitle: "Greg and Sharon." The scene fades to a plain gray background. A well-dressed man with chiseled features walks into the center of the screen and looks straight into the camera as he talks.
"Good evening and welcome to the premier of 'Breaking Point, Tales of Extreme Cuckolding,' where we examine extreme cases of marital infidelity through interviews and dramatic re-enactments. Tonight, we present the story of Greg and Sharon Wilson, a suburban couple now divorced after 23 years of marriage." He turned to look into a different camera.
"Before we start, however, we would like to provide a little background. For that, we turn to Special Agent Raymond Ochoa of the HomeFront Security Task Force. Agent Ochoa is in charge of the Task Force's Divorce Investigation Unit, or DIU."
The scene changes to an office where a tall, Hispanic man is sitting behind a desk. The multi-colored chyron at the bottom of the screen reads, "Special Agent Raymond Ochoa, Head of DIU."
"Special Agent Ochoa, thank you for taking time to speak with us," Dan said.
"Thank you for having me on your program," Raymond said.
"Tell us a little bit about what you do here at the Task Force, if you would, please, Agent Ochoa," Dan said.
"Of course," Raymond said. "The HomeFront Security Task Force is a partnership between the federal government and various private companies and organizations that was initially set up to deal with something called the Mutual Marital Assurance Society, or MMAS. That organization was started by a female lawyer who felt she got shafted in her divorce from her cheating husband. So she set out to provide a way that women could punish their husbands if they strayed in their marriage.
"Over the years, however, the organization became more political, pushing a rather radical femdom ideology. It all culminated with the incident against President Pierce back in 2019. By now, the whole world knows that the former First Lady, Barbara Pierce, cuckolded him and had become an accomplice with MMAS.
"What many didn't know until just recently was that the organization also targeted the former president, Lincoln Skaggs. After an incident involving him, a series of laws were passed. Collectively known as the 'White Picket Fence Laws,' they were designed to protect spouses against the type of activity we saw MMAS engage in. One of those laws requires an investigation into any case where extreme cuckolding takes place. That's where this Task Force comes into play," he said.
"And how many cases have you investigated since those laws were passed, Agent Ochoa?" Dan asked.
"We've been very busy, Dan," Raymond said. "Overall, I'd say we've investigated thousands of claims. What we look for is any evidence that indicates the possible involvement of either MMAS holdovers or copycat organizations."
"How many of your cases fit into that category?" Dan asked.
"I'd say roughly two to five percent," Raymond said. "That's still a very high number. Much higher than we like to see."
"What are some of the indicators of MMAS involvement?"
"If the wife has attended a so-called 'spa retreat' recently, that could be an indicator. MMAS often recruited their 'clients' through these retreats. Another indicator is the use of certain compounds, or drugs. One of the compounds they used frequently was a combination of a psychotropic substance mixed with a drug used for facilitating gender reassignment," Raymond said. "We have seen this not only in the U.S., but also overseas, in the UK."
"And both of these indicators came up in your investigation of the Wilson case?" Dan asked.
"Yes they did," Raymond said.
"Interesting," Dan said. "Thank you again for your time, Agent Ochoa."
"Thank you, Dan," Raymond said with a smile. The scene changed to a beach, in front of a rather large hotel.
"Greg and Sharon Wilson married fairly young, at the age of 19," Dan said as wind whipped through his hair. "They had a good marriage, raised two daughters and sent both to college. Throughout their 23 years of marriage, Greg supported his wife in pretty much whatever she chose to do.
"About eight months before coming to this resort in Cabo San Lucas, Sharon said she wanted to go on a weekend spa retreat with three other women. Being the supportive husband, Greg agreed. It was shortly after her return that things began to change for Greg." The scene changed again, and viewers could see a fairly tall, well-built older man sitting in a recliner. The chyron at the bottom of the screen read, "Greg Wilson."
"Tell us how things changed for you when your ex-wife returned from that retreat," Dan said.
"The changes were very subtle at first and I didn't really notice anything out of whack until about three months after she returned," Greg said. "You have to remember, until all this, I was pretty laid back. I thought things between Sharon and I were pretty good. I worked, brought home the bacon, and she took care of the house and the kids. She went to work when the kids started high school, but she always managed to keep things going here just fine. Sure, she ran the place, but I trusted her and until all this started, she always treated me with respect."
"But that changed after the spa retreat?"
"Yes. She started getting a bit more controlling, a bit more demanding. I went along with whatever she said just to keep the peace. Over time, things got worse. And naturally, things went downhill in the bedroom, if you know what I mean."
"Did you notice any changes in yourself?"
"I did," Greg said. "I found myself going along with whatever she suggested, even though there were times I wanted to say, 'no.' After a while, I also noticed some physical changes."
"Like what?"
"Well, I noticed that I was starting to lose some muscle mass. I keep a weight bench and an exercise machine out in the garage and I normally worked out three times a week. But for some reason, I started getting weaker and couldn't lift like I used to. I also noticed something else."
"What's that?"
"Well, I'm a bit embarrassed to say, but I found myself getting... smaller. Down there. You know..."
"Ah, yes, I understand," Dan said.
"I was always about average in that department, and I never heard any complaints from Sharon. She always seemed to enjoy what I had. I even spoke to my doctor about it, and he told me not to worry, that it was just age creeping up on me. He offered to prescribe Viagra, but I declined. I didn't want to have to rely on drugs."
