Prelude
Alice and David were married for almost 13 years now. College sweethearts, turned married couple when they were 23 (David) and 21 (Alice). The initial excitement of love, idealism, and adventure met reality within two years after their son - Mark - was born. David concentrated on bringing the bacon home and keeping the house lights on. Alice stayed at home to attend to their growing son. Through young Mark's elementary school, Alice was an active PTA contributor. David began to travel often for work, sometimes away for weeks.
Mark entry into middle school gave Alice a breather. She reflected on her life with David often. David seemed preoccupied all the time. The initial passion and lust began to wane. Alice felt under appreciated. On numerous occasions, her attempts to keep the passion, love, and adventure going, resulted in either being ridiculed and ignored. She struggled hard to come to terms with her situation. She needed something to change. She discussed this often with David which resulted in either fighting on his insensitivity to her needs, or him suggesting that she find herself a job.
After serious consideration. Alice reached out to her best friend from college, Lisa, who was a marketing lead promoting clothing line for a local chain. Lisa was only too eager to help. She had few temporary positions open to help with the seasonal demand, and she felt Alice the ideal hire. Alice would have the flexibility and work part time if needed, to enable her to balance her family life and work. Alice was excited. David was indifferent. He made sure he laid the rule that family comes first. She hated him for his dominance and control, just because theirs was a single income family and it depended on his employment. Alice was not paid much, but she appreciated the break she received. She was just happy to get away from being house arrested.
Lisa enjoyed Alice's company. They worked together closely. For Alice, she felt younger again. Lisa was not married and she had time to explore activities that Alice could only dream about. She was always on the go. Alice had to return to her family in time to attend to Mark. The commitments she made to David and Mark, and to her family were time consuming. She wanted more. Feeling underappreciated, she wanted liberation. Lisa sensed her frustration, depression, and low self-confidence. She hesitated to help as it may have deemed interfering in Alice's personal life. Soon, Alice began to envy Lisa. She wanted to be in her company more often and share her adventures vicariously. She joined her for lunch frequently, and at times worked with her at her house on weekend mornings when David and Mark spent time together.
On one such morning, at Lisa's place Alice held on to her coffee cup. David and she had a showdown on a trivial issue related to Mark's care. She was consumed with anger and frustration with the inability to find a way out. Lisa could not help self, she enquired.
"Everything alright. You don't seem to be yourself these days."
Alice did not respond immediately. Lisa persisted, "Sharing is caring. I love to help."
Embarrassed and with reluctance she blurted, "Lisa, I want to live your life. You have so much going for you. Your flexible time, your adventures, pursuits, and your freedom to do anything you want."
Lisa was a bit taken aback without burst.
"Well. Thank you for the appreciation of my life. I always envied you for what you have."
Alice shared her sob story with her. She listened with patience. She reciprocated sharing her life and her frustrations with Alice. The two women in their 30s agreed that grass seems greener on the other side.
Lisa suggested that she may be able to help. Alice wondered how. She reached out into her desk in the study, and handed Alice a card.
The deep purple card read - "HW Club - By reference only." She flipped over and there was a web link www.HWC.com and a gray scratcher enabled code.
As she handed the card, Lisa lowered her voice, "This is a onetime use only card. Use it with discretion. You may find it useful. You may want to browse incognito to ensure secrecy."
Even though they were alone in her house, she moved to close the door and continued, "My friend, Anna, runs a service. Few married women, I know, have found themselves new adventures through Anna. If you decide to explore, this might change your life."
Alice hesitated as she asked, "Are you a part of." Lisa smiled, "No, I help Anna and very close friends like you."
Alice tucked the card away in her bag. Alice was intrigued. She contained her excitement. Lisa would tell a change of mood set on Alice.
"Be careful. Spend some time to know yourself and your needs before you call on Anna."
They got back to work and the task check list for the day was completed sooner than Alice expected. She had to return to her family. Lisa was driving out to the Gym.
The rest of the day was uneventful. David and Mark were into their male games. Even with their presence at home, she felt alone. Sunday passed uneventfully too.
Sunday evening, David announced that he would be out for three weeks. Alice came to expect this from him. He had his clothes on the bed, ready to be packed. His phone was among the clothes.
He just got into the shower. Alice was in the bedroom, she heard his phone buzz and the screen light up. Curiously, she reached out to check the phone.
The message blinked, "Look forward to seeing you tonight. I miss you." The sender's id showed "Rainbow Crusader." She did not open the message. It remained unread.
Intrigued, she browsed through the applications on the phone. The photo gallery was already open.
She was shocked by what she saw. The phone almost fell off her hands as she shook nervously in disbelief. She closed her eyes and opened them again to see the thumbnail pictures of David with another Man!
In the pictures preview, he was naked performing oral on another man, his face being sprayed with cum. One another showed him on his fours with his ass being penetrated by a thick hard cock.
She froze. She had to think fast. She set the phone back to its original state and dropped it back to the clothes. She moved quickly to step out of the room before David out come out of the shower.
She moved quickly to the kitchen. There were dishes in the sink. She stood in front of them, she almost screamed and exclaimed, "OH my God! It can't be."
Dazed, she reached out for the dishes and began hand washing them. The extremely hot water on her hands did not bother her. She was unable to erase the vision of what she saw on his phone.
When he came down the stairs with his bags packed and his phone in his shirt pocket, for the first time in her life, she looked away from him. He was too pre-occupied to notice.
He joined Mark at the table and they wrestled to gain control of the dinner she prepared.
She could not see David in the same light again. She could not wait for him to leave the house. Finishing dinner, he kissed Mark and moved to hug and kiss her, she backed away.
"What's up with you?" he laughed and enquired. He did not pursue her, he continued to pick his bags, and shut the door behind him to get into the waiting cab.
It was 8:00 pm, she sent Mark to bed. She reached for her phone and called Lisa. - "If you are free this evening, drop everything. I need you now. It's urgent!"
Around 9:00 am, she opened the door to Lisa. Lisa gave her a hug and held onto a weeping housewife. Over the next hour or so, she heard her vent about David and his infidelity.
Lisa could not help but smile when she heard that David was a homosexual and had male lovers. Alice was angry that he actually enjoyed them more than he did her.
As the evening continued, Alice continued to voice her thoughts aloud. Soon she seemed to be coming to terms with it. Lisa enjoyed the evening. She knew she had a way forward for her.
By midnight, she was sitting next to her, holding her hands, and gently hugging her to comfort her. Alice felt insulted by David. She wanted to avenge him. Lisa found an opening for her to explore.
"Do you still have the card I gave you? The purple card I gave you yesterday." Alice nodded. Lisa suggested that she should try it.
Soon they were in front of a laptop computer, Alice typed in www.HWC.com. An all deep purple web page, with a pink central heart invited them to enter the reference code.
