That had been fairly evident from his attitude upstairs, but it still didn't explain why he thought he was going to tonight's reception with her and I said so!
"My fault," Ali said. "For years he's always been my go-to person when I needed a presentable escort for social events. They plan these events months in advance, so earlier this year I asked him to escort me to this reception. Then everything changed; we got together again, and you offered to be here for me. I remembered a few weeks ago I'd asked him, so I thought I'd asked Sandy to let him know I didn't need him to escort me.
Unfortunately, his name was still on the list in the office, so when the event organizers got in touch with my office to confirm the names and numbers of the Ali Mac group, they were given his name and details, not yours."
I stared at the security gate willing it to open, and I could get away from this madness. This was just too much for me, I hadn't enjoyed these situations in the past, and now I was grateful I had an excuse to miss this one as I didn't have an invite.
"Ben, please say something, anything. Tell me I'm a cow, a fool, and stupid. Anything is better than this silence. Say you'll come with me tonight."
"I don't see how I can. If you recall, it appears I don't have an invite. Nor do I ever want to see Jamie smirking at me again, because if I do, I'll be sorely tempted to wipe it off his face."
"Oh don't worry; you have an invite. I gave that stupid woman an ultimatum; if you're not going to be there, neither will anyone from Ali Mac. In fact, Ali Mac would completely withdraw from the week's events. I wouldn't be on the catwalk for any of the shows, and I would tell the world it was all her fault."
"Jesus, Ali, not going to the damn thing was never my issue. It was finding out you'd been lying to me again. If you need to be there, then go, just don't ask me to go with you."
I took a deep breath, not sure if I was going to regret my next words. "I'll stay for the week; I'll still be here when you get back tonight, I promise."
Ali turned her tear stained face to me. "I won't go without you, I've finally got you back, and there's no way I'll go on my own. If it's Jamie you're worried about, he won't be there. Jamal took his invite away, and he's been removed from the guest list.
I just sat there, and Ali whispered, "Please, Ben."
"We can leave when I say so?"
She nodded in agreement, "As soon as you want to go."
I backed the car into an open space, and we both stepped out. Sandy, Jamal and a couple of others were standing by the open elevator doors. Sandy was holding my jacket and bow tie. The security gate opened, and a stretched limousine entered the garage.
I had been so focused on the situation; I'd failed to notice how beautiful Ali looked. The dress was black; that was the easy part. The bodice was shaped like a second skin, plunging back and the front a deep V between her breasts. The skirt had a hint of a Chinese style, split up one thigh to the top of her leg. She wasn't wearing a bra, and it was anyone's guess if she was wearing any panties, as not a line was visible.
A girl standing beside Sandy, was making deft repairs to Ali's makeup. Sandy was trying to tie the bow tie around my neck. Not an easy thing to do as I was struggling to slip the tux jacket back on.

HighBrow5 days agoI just don’t see how he can forgive her unapologetic manipulation of him. She left him for sex and career, and she has only gotten worse with the success of her approach. Seems unrealistic in the extreme.
Jalibar6229 days agoAs soon as they’re linked again, his anonymity in the south of France is gone. If a PI could find him, the press surely will.
Anonymous4 months agoSo there's an anon posting about 11 months ago.
She lies to him. It's obvious she is cheating on him. Publicly she allows some smarmy douchebag actor put his hands all over her...while her husband is STANDING there. She smacks his face in public for objecting to it all. She tells him she isn't coming back to their room...meaning she's staying in someone else's room. And she does. So her leaves. Goes home. Waits around for her for a week or two. She never shows up. Doesn't return phone calls except to tell him in a 20 second message that she's leaving for another shoot with the same damned people as before.
Hey motherfucker those are all pretty good signs his relationship is over. He's her husband. He doesn't have to compete for her honesty and fidelity anymore. Remember they are married. She supposedly loves him. Right?
He took his shit and he left. I would have also. Fuck that narcissistic bitch.
What else was he gonna do? Sit around and let her fuck other guys in front of him?
He's not a coward. He just simply said "fuck all of this disrespect. I'm not sticking around to be some kind of pathetic cuckold type to this self centered cunt."
And off he went.
Who would have stuck around? Who would have wanted to stick around in her world? You? Ahhh...I get it. You are a beta man. Would ahev been happy following along to her events. Standing in the background. Holding her designer purses while she fawned over better men. Been patient with her while she disappeared for an hour or two at parties in order to "close a deal" in the back bedroom of the mansion. I see what kind of man you are. A simp. The kind that just is happy to catch some crumbs from a selfish woman's table. Well...see that's the difference between someone like you and a real man. Get treated like shit?
A man says "fuck this. I'm out." And leaves. He didn't have kids. He WAS treated deplorably. "See ya." And off he went to make a better life. A really good life actually. And he was happy. Without the lying cheating cunt. And let's be clear. Her word doesn't mean Jack shit at this point. She's lied to him repeatedly. She WAS fucking other men.
A dumbass weak man sticks around because "she loves me". Trying to make it work when she does not respect you. Does not tell you the truth. And treats your like dog shit. You still stick around trying to make things work like a fool.
So there's the truth. She lies. Treats him really badly. Humiliates him. He leaves.
She continues to live her life like a horrible piece of shit...using people. Sleeping around. Forbidding his parents from telling him he has a daughter for 13 years. Makes no attempt to contact him. Proving to everyone what a lying, opportunistic bitch she is.
And you are here thinking he should have been 'stronger' and stuck around and put uo with her treating him like that? Masochist much?
Sorry. I'd have taken off on her too. Made a nice life somewhere else. And found happiness without the bitch and all of the complications that are a part of her life.
That doesn't make someone a coward. It makes them a someone with self respect and the strength to walk away from gaslighting and a toxic relationship.
So many stupid people here.
BeBopper994 months ago5* Excellent story so far, but the 13 year separation and reunion is not believable in real life. Most likely divorce due to abandonment.
Anonymous7 months agoWhat we have here is a failure to communicate.
Mixing cocktails on the rocks with a blender. Goodluck with that reconciliation.
Once burned twice shy?
