I stood there staring at the divorce papers which had been delivered by a courier. The words blurred on the pages as I heard Susan laughing from the spare bedroom. Just a few short minutes ago everything was coming together for me. I had the love of a good woman, a second woman as a plaything and I was on the verge of finally being freed from a marriage that had died a long time ago. In the brief time it took to read the divorce filing everything had changed, and was in real jeopardy of falling apart completely. She was suing for divorce, claiming adultery as the grounds. By naming Lucy and Megan as co-respondents in the divorce action, Susan had made them fair game for her attorney to destroy on the witness stand during the proceedings. There was no way on God’s green earth I could allow this to happen. I went into the spare bedroom where Susan was in a state of euphoria, still laughing over the evil trick she had played on me. “What’s the matter Frank?” she said, her laughter still echoing in my ears. “Did things not turn out like you planned?” She had an evil smile on her face and her expression was burned onto my psyche. “You haven’t had the last word just yet, Susan,” I replied. “Somehow, someway I will make you regret your vindictive tactics. For now, I have only two words for you: Get out! I want you out of my place and out of my life. You can either leave now or I’ll call the police to escort you out of here. I’ll be back in a little bit and I’d better not find you still around.” I had to get out of there before things got really ugly. I’ve never struck a woman in my life and I didn’t want to start now. Leaving was my only option. “Oh, I’ll leave,” she spat back at me. “I’ll leave, but you had better be prepared for a drastic change in lifestyle. I told you last night that I would take you for everything that I could and I will. When I get done with you you’ll be living in a flophouse in the worst part of town. And you can forget about your precious Lucy. I would imagine that the prospect of being drug through the mud along with her two lovers and having her promiscuous lifestyle exposed to her employers will be enough incentive for her to cut and run. Be prepared, Frank. Be prepared for living utterly alone. No one but a common whore will have you when I get through with you, and you won’t even be able to afford the town bursa escort tramp.” That was enough for me. I turned around and got the hell out of there. My hands were trembling on the steering wheel as I pulled away from my place. I had to see Lucy to tell her the bad news face to face. I called her while I drove to her place to make sure she was home. She answered, but she wasn’t home. She was at that new slider bar with Megan. Lucy told me where it was and I changed my route to head over there. When I arrived I walked through the front receiving area and saw them in a small booth in the back. They were holding hands and Megan was talking to Lucy. Megan was kissing Lucy’s hands as she spoke to her. When Lucy saw me approach their booth she pulled her hands away from Megan suddenly, as if she were caught doing something improper. “Hi Frank,” Lucy said as I stood before them. “Did you change your mind, sweetie? Are you going to join us for dinner now?” Megan didn’t bother to speak. She looked at me with a look of indifference. I had interrupted their quiet time together and she seemed pretty pissed about it. I didn’t know any other way to break it to them, so I just blurted it out. “Susan has filed for divorce. The grounds are adultery and she has named both of you as co-respondents. That means that your names will be made public and they can subpoena both of you to testify at the hearing.” Lucy had a look of sheer terror on her face and her eyes began to well up with tears. Megan was silent, but her expression seemed indifferent. “Look, the last thing I want to do is drag your names through the mud. The only way to prevent that is to make sure that you don’t have to testify, and right now the only way I can make sure that you don’t is not to contest the divorce. My other fear is that Susan knows this, and she will make some unreasonable demands knowing that she has the upper hand. If she tries to take advantage of me I don’t know what I will do. I am going to talk to my attorney and my investigator tomorrow.” Megan seemed surprised. “Do you have an investigator? What do you have one for?” “I got one to do some work back in North Carolina when I decided to file and beat Susan to the punch. He is digging up dirt on her, trying to find out if she had someone on the side while she denied me sex. He’ll find out bursa escort bayan how she learned your names as well. I have a sneaky suspicion that Susan hired an investigator locally in order to gain information that would hurt my case.” Lucy continued to sit there, quietly sobbing. I wished that I could say something to her that would make things better, but there wasn’t anything I could say. I reached out and took her hand. “Look babe, I wish I didn’t have to come here and spoil your dinner with Megan, but you needed to know what is going on. I promise I’ll try to keep you both out of this, but I have to check in with my people back in Raleigh. Just hang in there, will you?” Lucy couldn’t speak, but nodded her head. It broke my heart to see her like this. “Don’t worry, Frank,” Megan said to me. “I’ll see to it that she gets through this. You go take care of business and we’ll keep in touch.” There wasn’t any more I could say at that time, so I just turned around and walked away. Before I left the restaurant I looked back. Megan had Lucy in her arms and was whispering to her as Lucy cried. That should be my job, I thought. Could I lose everything when all is said and done? When I returned to my place there was no traces that Susan had even been there. She obviously took my words to heart and got out of there. She left no note or anything, so I couldn’t be sure if she was still in the area or if she went back to Raleigh. I had to call Rocco and see what he had been able to find. “Hello, Frank. I’m guessing you have been served already.” “That’s right, Rocco. The server caught me right after I returned from work. Susan was in her glory when it happened, so I told her to gather her things and get the hell out of my place. She’s gone now. Rocco, do you have anything for me?” “Frank, I’ve got a ton of stuff for you. Are you sure you want to hear it?” “Everything, Rocco. Don’t hold anything back from me, because it couldn’t possibly get any worse.” “Okay Boss, you’ve got it. First of all, it seems that Susan has been having an affair with Mr. Martin Woolf. You ever hear of him?” “Yes, I have. Who in Raleigh hasn’t heard of him? Isn’t he a big-time attorney back there?” “He sure is, Frank. He’s a big-time divorce attorney, handles the A-list clients in the Southeastern United States. Frank, they’ve been escort bursa an item, albeit on the back burner, for over seven years. He’s not representing her, by the way. He arranged for a friend of his to take her case. He can’t afford the publicity if it got out about them.” “Seven years? Jesus, she was fucking both of us for a year before she cut me off.” “Well, every time your wife was away from the house for more than a few hours she has been with Martin Woolf. He set her up with a condo near Chapel Hill four years ago. Has Susan taken any vacations with her girlfriends lately?” “Several times a year they have weekend getaways. They go shopping in Florida. Are you telling me this was a cover?” “It sure was. She was in Florida, but not for shopping and not with her girlfriends. She was with Woolf at his winter condo in South Beach. By my count they have had, on average, six of these little romantic weekends every year.” “Jesus, Rocco. I’ve been a fool.” “Don’t beat yourself up about it, Frank. She covered her tracks pretty well, even going so far as to include one of her best friends in the lie. If you ever asked, this woman was prepared to lie to keep the truth from you. She’s good, Frank, but not good enough to keep it from me. You know that I’ve got friends and informants everywhere, including South Beach and the Bay Area.” “What do you mean, Rocco? Have you been checking up on things out here?” “No, Frank, but it seems that during her first visit out there she hired a local guy to find out about you and your girlfriend. A real shady character, from what I can gather. This guy found out that you were seeing that Lucy gal. And he knows about the three-way arrangement as well.” “Rocco, are you telling me that he found out about Megan?” How was he able to do that?” “Frank, I can’t prove anything, but I think he may have paid her for information. She needs the money and I think he’s preying on that to gain information about your relationship.. Susan’s plan was to catch you in an unsavory situation and use it to up the ante on her settlement demands. She has no idea that I was able to learn all of this, though. I’m forwarding everything to your attorney so that he will be well armed when you are prepared to make a response to her initial demands.” I was stunned by all of this. I guess my gut feeling about being concerned about Megan was correct, after all. I worried that her influence would drive a wedge between us, and now I understood why. “Rocco, I can’t thank you enough for all of this. I’ll be calling my attorney as soon as we get done here and I get a chance to tell Lucy about it.
