Biting Back The Pain

Synopsis

Zoe walked in by accident and found her husband, Stanley, with his widowed sister-in-law, Lillian. When she confronted him, Stanley didn't even try to hide it. He just shrugged and said it was normal for a man to have a lover. Zoe was furious. Hurt, angry, and desperate to get back at him, she slept with Stanley's best friend, Marty, that same night. But the next day, she finally saw the truth. It had all been a setup, carefully planned by Stanley from the start. He looked at her and said it flat out. Since they had both cheated, they were even now. She could keep her place as his wife, but his love would belong to Lillian. Zoe lost control when she was treated as if she meant nothing. She grabbed his hand and bit down hard. Stanley's face turned cold. Without a second thought, he broke her pinky finger and had her sent off to Tranquil Grace Academy to learn how to behave. A year passed. With one week left before Zoe's twenty-fourth birthday, Stanley finally came to pick her up. And he brought Lillian with him.
