This is another revenge story about a brain-dead cheating wife with reconciliation. I added a mild BTB ending for some closure. For the blood-thirsty BTB lovers, this story is tame, however, I'm working on a chilling story I know you will enjoy - coming soon. In the meantime, enjoy this little drama. -- Cindy

Thursday Evening:
After 20 years of marriage, the 39-year-old sexy mother of my two girls and the love of my life announced to me she was going on a date with a friend from work tomorrow night.
Helen and I were teenagers when we married. We were dating for less than a year when she became pregnant with my baby girl. We were madly in love and got married and welcomed Christy into the world seven months later.
We've had a wonderful marriage, full of love and two beautiful children who both love their parents. I started my own landscaping business that flourished into a multimillion-dollar business, which allowed us to live a wonderful, fulfilling life. In a million years, I would never have expected a speech like that from my wife.
It hit me like a ton of bricks as I sat on the couch with a glass of scotch as she explained that since the kids have gone off to universities, she's been depressed and unhappy. In my eyes, we had the perfect marriage, and this news hit me hard.
Helen explained that Tommy from accounting has been a close friend and has been helping her through her depression, which was news to me. That was odd, because she had said nothing about being depressed or even being upset. The thought of my wife allowing another man to help her with her feelings was painful, but hearing that she wanted to be with him mentally killed me.
It turns out that Tommy Boy is married with three little girls and portrays himself as some sort of counselor when, in fact, he is just a predator, ready to strike at any unsuspecting victim. Sexy married women are an easy target for Tommy, as he knows they are vulnerable, with no strings attached.
"John, I can't do this behind your back and I hope you understand, but I just need to do this, for me. I know it sounds selfish, but give me this one night to see how it goes."
Of course, I was enraged, and I wanted to scream, but I knew my wife and I knew that this was going to happen. Once she decided to do something, there was no way back......
When she finished her announcement, I sat there expressionless, just staring at her as she nervously sat across from me, alone, on the love seat. The silence was deafening as I refused to allow myself to speak. Instead, I calmly finished my scotch, stood, and started to leave the room.
"John, don't ignore me! Stop your pouting and childish behavior. This is happening, and I needed to tell you before I did anything. I would never cheat on you, and I need you to know everything that happens. We've always been honest with each other and I will never lie to you, baby."
I stood there looking at this woman with what must have been the look of death because I watched her put her knees to her chest and curl up into a ball as I looked back at her. Silently I went up to our bedroom and packed two days' worth of clothes and toiletries and then again, without a word, walked past Helen and out to my car in the garage. She followed, crying out as I walked past her.
"Please John, don't go. Everything will be OK, it's just one date, that's all, and it will be all over. Just one night, surely you can give me that after 20 years."
I shook my head as I drove off, not believing what she was spewing out. I checked into the Ritz Carlton that Thursday evening. Yes, the Ritz Carlton, $400 a night, and I didn't give a shit. If I was going to be in pain, I was going to at least enjoy my accommodations.
The calls and texts started immediately and after sending one text back, I blocked her number. I simply texted I would not be in contact with her until I came back home on Saturday after her betrayal. I'm sure those words cut her deeply.
The next day at work, I had my secretary block any calls from my wife and told security not to let her in the building. I had already put a plan into action and I would not allow it to alter.
I'm John Casey and a man of action. At work and with my friends, I'm known as the man in charge, the guy to get things done. People know I do what I say and look up to me for leadership. At home, I'd become the docile, laid-back guy, eager to please and get away from my macho alter ego. It's worked for the last 20 years; however, it seems I've miscalculated the effect. In hindsight, I should have been more demanding and unflappable in my home life, but I loved my wife and made her the queen. I remember reading once and chuckled at the quote, but I'm not laughing now - Treat her like a queen and she will treat you like a servant. Those words became my reality, but I would not let that happen.
Friday morning, I called my brother, who is a detective in Miami, and asked him for some help. I explained what I needed, and he dialed in one of his associates, Peter Clift, a Private Investigator.
"Peter, this is Sargent Davis. How are you, my friend? Listen, we are on the phone with my brother and he needs your help tonight. I'm calling in a favor and need you to have one of your men follow his wife tonight. Yes, tonight. We need to see who she is with and get me as much information as you can on this guy by Saturday morning. I want you to run his plates and get me his home address and phone number, and text it to me tonight. We would like some photos of the couple, you know what we need. That can come over tomorrow, but tonight we just want the info on this man."
"Davis, this is short notice, but I owe you big time, so I'll do it. You want the Perp's phone and address tonight as soon as possible, and the rest of the photos and things we dig up tomorrow. What are you giving me to work with?"
"Yes, that's what we need for now. I'll send over the wife's address, what time she's leaving along with the first name of her date. I'm told he works with her at Brokers Unlimited, and his name is Tommy, so this shouldn't be too hard for you, my friend. His wife gets home at 5 pm, but we don't know what time the date starts, so you'll need a man outside the house before 5 pm to follow the wife when he picks her up."
