Thank-you Balladeer for allowing me to write a sequel to your story. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed reading your original.
_____________________________
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading Balladeer's story quite a few times now and each time I found myself wondering what happened after Milly hurt Ben, her husband.
If you are looking for sex scenes this probably isn't the story for you. I have tried to deal with the destruction of a marriage by a cheating wife and the subsequent revenge......and eventual forgiveness....but the damage had been done. You might gather that I am not a lover of cheating wives. Is the revenge over the top....maybe.
Before you read this I highly recommend you read Balladeer's great original story 'Sailing onto the Rocks' first to understand what has happened.

Everything happened so quickly; I couldn't believe what she said she'd done. To tell the truth I knew I had big problems when I saw them leaving the cruise boat arm in arm, but to actually hear her tell me, I was gutted. Maybe I just should have thrown her out then and there, but she was my life; what I lived for and I loved her so much. When she didn't bat an eyelid when she told me she didn't regret her affair it was like she pushed a knife into my chest. If she had been remorseful and never seen them again maybe things would have been different. Initially it was my love for her that made me forgive her for being unfaithful; I didn't want to ever lose her; not ever; she meant the world to me.
When Milly said she wanted to go away with them I knew what that meant no matter what she told me; she released an anger I had never felt before and now that love was a thing of the past. Well....maybe not; I still loved her so much it hurt, but not as much as the pain she just inflicted on me when she asked if she could go away with them again. She was saying all the wrong things to save our marriage and it was obvious she didn't know me very well after all of our years together if she thought I would be happy with what was happening. It only got worse later when I listened to the recordings of her conversations on the phone with Donna when I discovered it had all been planned while they were still on the boat.
Donna had told Milly that I would willing accept her affair so long as she kept fucking me every night and that I would never do anything about it except beg her to stop because we'd been married for 40 years. She went on to say I would be too scared to lose her; maybe she had been right in the end except she knew nothing about my demons they released when they cuckolded me and my need for revenge for what they had done. I remembered a favourite character of mine in a William Shakespeare play from when I was young and how he was cheated out of what I thought was justly his and I had sworn then that would never happen to me. I thought he was a good role model.
As soon as we had walked in the door from getting back from the boat, I put my plan into action just in case my life went to shit; and it did when she told me everything I didn't want to hear, but then it only got worse; so much worse. How could she do this to me? I had thought out what I would have to do on the way home but I still had to flesh out much of the detail if I thought my marriage was finished. I already had close up photos of them on the deck and walking down the ramp then saying their good-byes as they parted company. I had taken the photos with my trusty Nikon digital camera with a decent telephoto lens of them exchanging tongues and hugging so I knew the quality and clarity of the photos would be good; but most important I had clear photos of his cruise photo Id hanging around his neck that showed his name; it turned out a good move.
Milly refused to give me his full name saying, "Ben, please trust me. His name isn't important because I'll never be seeing him again." Those words still ring in my ears. She must have been a little worried I might try to track him down if I found out; well tough shit....I did and he paid in the end. I had also taken some of his mate with Donna; I wasn't sure of their role at that stage. If Milly thought I was cold and distant on the way home she had yet to discover the monster in me and I knew she wouldn't like him. Deep down I didn't want to lose her but I wanted her to make the final decision; I could have confronted her when I found out what had been planned but then I would have wondered if she would stay faithful for the rest of our lives. Well, the rules of engagement changed as soon as she asked to go away with them straight after she admitted her affair and I remembered a line from an old Sherlock Holmes movie where he said, "The game's afoot."
