Affairs of the Heart
To the mistress...
She's watching in calculated silence, the two of you. She's not done with him, no siree, though he might think she is. The decisions that were made, the division of assets, the landing of the money, where it all went, who benefited, who was left out -- it's not over, it never is.
She's no longer working alone, by the way, she found a partner almost as hedonistic and calculating as she is. But he prefers to stay in the background, working in the shadows, so to speak. You should just know that if she wins, he wins, so he is pretty invested.
Maybe you should think twice about where this is going -- or where this all started, and was it really a good idea? Maybe not, in hindsight, these sordid little tales rarely are. It was rather shady, wouldn't you agree?... who made the first move, who told the first lie, who was the first to slip up, and wasn't it a war zone when the shit hit the fan.
No one can keep secrets forever.
To the wife...
The only way to lift the weight of this off your shoulders is to shine a light on those things that are best kept in the dark. Not everyone will want to look, but it just takes one person with enough courage, the right person. And, voila, the world will know and bells will toll. You still won't be completely innocent, aka not at fault, but you might be able to successfully kid yourself... for a while. It takes two you know, both for success and for failure.
It wasn't all bad. It really wasn't. And if you can throw just enough salt on the bitch to tarnish her new-mistress image, he might see her for what she actually is. She's all smiles and aquiesence and unlimited sex right now, but we know this is a facade. Remember, you two have a history together. You've been through things, you experienced stuff. You have memories, however warped some of them might be. Hang on to that, because right now, that's about all you've got. Some might say this is wishful thinking, and others might look at it as unabashed optimism.
Just remember, however this turns out, whatever your idea of "winning" might be...
He's done this once, and he will do it again.
