Vows of Deception: Something old, new, borrowed, and BLUE... Read Online Free Page A

mythical vacation, romantic getaway they were supposed to go on turned out to be some time away for her to enjoy the spa while he golfed with some business associates. During dinner hours instead of wining and dining her, he was wooing other CEO’s of other companies. Returning to their room at night, it was filled with his grunts and wasted lingerie that he admired for a few minutes, then demanding that she remove it. Claiming they were too slutty looking. She blamed herself for not knowing how to spice up her marriage and bring out the animal she so desired.
    Suddenly an email arrived in her incredibly full inbox jarring her from her off-handed thoughts. She had been working hard since lunch to clean it out. Reading, responding, deleting, and printing some off for later retrieval left enough room for more to come through. The sender was an anonymous one and normally she wouldn’t even dare to open it for fear of it being some spam or virus. That is all she needs, having her computer crash because of some cyber worm or Trojan virus. Something was nagging her to open it so she did against her better judgment. The title of the email simply stated FYI. Clicking the link to expand it, there were several attachments in picture form and one video. In the body of the text was one sentence.
     
    EVERYTHING ISN’T ALWAYS AS IT SEEMS!
     
    Danielle quickly closed the message not prepared to deal with anything of that magnitude. The message seemed to have a hidden meaning and she didn’t want to find out just what it was so she stored it in a locked file. Choosing to deal with it at another time. Although she should have just deleted it, she saved it so that she could return to it another day. She had more taxing things to deal with than cryptic messages. Work was calling her name and she was going to answer happily.
    The week had come to an end rather quickly with constant appointments, catching up on paperwork, and Lamont’s constant absence. Her family was throwing a barbeque. She was looking forward to spending some much needed time with her husband. The family was an added bonus but her husband was her main concern. With his late nights in the office, they hadn’t really had time to talk about anything. When he finally makes it home, she is normally laying down for the night. He jumps in the shower and they sleep, only to repeat the cycle the next day.
    “That party last week was fabulous.” Her Aunt Ruby gushed.
    “Thank you. I enjoyed myself.”
    “Girl that man certainly loves you.”
    “Yeah, I love him as well.”
    “You better. I know so many women out here would kill to have a man like that.”
    “Mhm.” All the women nodded their heads in agreement. Danni was always thankful that she had such a thoughtful, compassionate, and loving husband. At least that was the front she had been getting when prying eyes and ears were around. Lately she had been feeling neglected when there wasn’t an audience but she didn’t want to be a nag.
    “What’s going on girl? You seem to be in another world.” Her god sister spoke lowly to her shaking her from her unruly thoughts. “Trouble in paradise?”
    “Huh?” Danni pretended to not know where she was coming from.
    “You and brother-in-law having issues?”
    “Girl no. He has just been extremely busy with work. Honestly so have I. As soon as our caseloads lessen we will have more time.”
    “Well that’s good.” The distant look on her face caused Danni to look at her with a question of her own.
    “What’s going on with you and Thomas?”
    “Girl he is old news. I’m done with him.”
    “How do you feel about that?”
    “Girl if you don’t go ahead on with that therapy babble.” The sisters laughed it off because it just came natural for Danni to ask questions like those sometimes.
    “Sorry, didn’t mean to sound like a therapist.”
    “I already know, it’s your job. You can’t help yourself.”
    “What are you ladies going on about?” Lamont
