This was a very good tale, and an above rendition of a typical Grecian tragedy. Well written, and ‘not written for dummies.’ That said, this became a tale driven by vengeance of the harmed party. But the motivation did not remotely reflect the angst that was driven by the need for revenge. In short, this story fell dreadfully short of a BTB in spite of the bleating of the wronged party, whose weak bleating demonstrated that the MC, and perhaps by association the author, were cucks to a degree rarely defined in previous cuck stories on this site. Not a waste of time by any means, but falsely advertised to pique my interest. Hard 3.

So... where's the "burn the bitch" part? There was ZERO revenge on the cheating skank aside from 20 years too late divorce.

This COULD have been a great story, if after the crash, Rayna would fall in love with MC and marry him (being not biologically related). Would have served both as revenge on the skanky whore and the reward for MC.

How anyone can complain about this story is beyond my comprehension. This was a Greek tragedy brought to life with the only difference is that it is so much more plausible and understandable since it is modern times. I would have liked a bit more interaction with the sons who got Chuck Cunninhammed although I thought of multiple ways they could have been worked more into the story over the years. They must have noticed something amiss in all their years together, whether it was Rosy never paying attention or really bonding with them or the fact that their mother made Rayna an obvious favorite at their expense. It still gets a huge 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for being the timeless classic is should become.

I don't care what the nay sayers say ... this is a very good and plausible story and the dramatic irony throughout is what makes it believable and an entertaining story, When all comes together at the end I felt like applauding this very good effort 5! Writing is not easy!

What a WIMP !!!!! Waited 20 years just to fuck a girl who he treated like a daughter and for what ???!!!

He's just a dirty old man and a wimpy cuckold for that. You call that revenge ?! You prey on innocent lives having 1 dead and 1 turned into a whore and what kind of vengeance is that for his wife ???!!!! Wife literally escape with just a slapped on her wrist. TERRIBLE !!!!

I skimmed through looking for the revenge part and NOTHING !! Just an old pervert bringing up a girl just to satisfied his own sick sex cravings. I rate this story - ZERO

Stop writing if you're this awful before you have more deaths due to angry readers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a wimp who was too frightened to fight for his family even if it meant protecting them from themselves. This seems to be a uniquely American thing. Rather than protecting your family you set them up for self destruction. A strange breed those yanks

What the hell ? Was he trying to take revenge by old age after 20 years ? Who the hell would wait that long ? And if he hated the (NOT) daughter that much, why wasn’t he man enough to show his face to her after he’d took her Virginity ??

AnonymousAnonymousover 1 year ago

Well the MC was the only one who actually lost out! 21 years of hating…an innocent girl used as an unwitting pawn in his desire for revenge…

Man that really sucks! And he has a clear conscience?? No way! U don’t hold hatred for so long and live! U end up dead emotionally! He is a dead man walking! And Ratna was an unwitting victim! So a puss poor story of selfish revenge and innocent victims!

alvinjfrazieralvinjfrazieralmost 2 years ago

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good story. I really enjoyed it, in spite of minor flaws. BUT, so much uanadulterated hatred, carried for that long... Their ONE DAY of pain and sorrow wouldn't have made a dent. Realistically, the MC should have laughed his ass off, served divorce papers immediately, and donated nary a single drop of blood. Publish Roxie's journals, the DNA reportS, and footage of Ray and Roxie's trysts, and Ray's incestuous romp with Rayna. Make available to one and all Roxie's entire history and ALL of the incest she caused. Only after the divorce and Ray's legal troubles, send them the video of Rayna getting fucked by the man who fed, clothed and sheltered her for 20 years. And Ray has to find out that he ate cum, otherwise what was the poinr? As for the MC's pangs of conscience, NONE OF THE EVENTS ARE HIS FAULT. The only innocent MAY have been Ryan. Everyone else lived up to the lowest expectations and made their own choices.

Bham487Bham487almost 2 years ago

What’s funny is he didn’t really need to do anything to get revenge. The only revenge he caused was fucking his step daughter before Ray and letting him eat his cum as everything else would have happened anyway. Even if he had divorced her she still would have lead her daughter down the same path leading to the eventual end. Overall an entertaining story

Hilarious, sad but Hilarious! No character to actually cheer for and the last few paragraphs were disappointing and really need a rewrite. Not that they were still seeing each other but

the lack of closure for a better word, the reader was still left wanting. It brought the rating from a 4 to a 3.

wilsonanthonywilsonanthonyabout 2 years ago

BTB is about the Cheating, The Discovery, the Confrontation after which comes the actual burning of the Bitch or the Bastard! You are a very good writer and I do not agree with the vitriol of some of the criticism! You must however admit the climax is very disappointing after the build up there is NO BURNING!

There were so many layers that needed to be addressed and you needed him to come out with all that has been happening to take it to a boil but … it peters out to a trickle and he is witness to all that is occurring but the dramatic irony is that they are not aware that he is way ahead of them but it happens in his mind only – I hate the dramatic irony here for I wanted the burning – Nuclear all the way. Your story – your choice.

You let them have and accident and Ray comes off not half of the horrible bastard that he is, The husband schemed, plotted and suffered for 20 years to actually almost reconcile with them. The amnesia or memory loss and her admitting that she actually did love him is a cop out and sounds like excuses because you got cold feet to actually make the BURNING a Greek Tragedy! Well it is a good story and well written with a disappointing end as far as the BTB lovers go!

Simply the stupidest tale on this site.... The 20 year wait to effect simple revenge is totally insipid. Nothing about this story makes any sense whatsoever which is why I gave it a 1 star for it is an utter epic fail when with a little rewriting and some simple common sense plot lines, it could be a really great one.

1 star - one of the worst stories ever. After the first page, I thankfully skipped to the comments section and was not assaulted too badly by the extremely poor story.

mdadaminmdadaminalmost 3 years ago

forget about this nonsense logic, but I just want to ask the writer one question

when he learned about his wife infidelity he decided to wait 20 years to have his revenge assuming that he can fuck ray's daughter and let ray fuck her too!!! so how he was sure that the unborn girl will act like her mother? and meanwhile the daughter in the story said that she does not approve what her mother did while she did the same with a very silly excuse that she wants to show her mother that she can be in business without cheating? so she sold her virginity and became a whore and risked her future to be known as a whore just to show her mother?

then the husband fucked the girl who he raised and destroyed her her by letting her fuck her father and recorded then used the recorder to destroy the girl and her lover life

so instead of hurting his wife and ray he destroyed his daughter life and the life of her lover while ray was not affected at all except after he put him in Jill

this is a very bad story with a lot of mistakes

A smelly conclusion

This hot mess was barely holding together as a coherent story up until it was revealed that Rayna was incestuously pregnant followed minutes later by an improbable car crash which caused the death of both Ryan and the fetus as well as Rayna's remarkably convenient amnesia.

Hard to say which straw broke the camel's back but this sad attempt at a BTB story definitely lost control of it's literary legs, bowel and bladder at that point. Sad the author failed to realize there's no such thing as a good scat story.

The main character just can’t be called a man...a sicko...a pathetic creature are just some of the definitions that come to mind...

Nothing he did defines a mans actions...

And trying to use an innocent child (Rayna) for his revenge ( against Ray and Rosy) shows Avery sick and sadistic mindset...he could have stopped this shit at any time..but just was too carried over by his sick desire for long term revenge to behave like a god man..too sick a story to read!!!

Your main character is an idiot. He wasted 20 years or more of his life to secure his screwed up version of revenge. Too bad he didn't die a horrible death for the way he treated his wife's daughter. She didn't deserve to have her life ruined.

One train wreck turns into another, turns into another, turns into another. Why waste 20 years? For Revenge? You can burn the bitch, but you better expect to get a little flame as well. All that does is cause them to one-up the next person and so on. And then you end up with is Tupac and Biggie getting shot.

Grossly impossible.

People in this story are totally different from the original version. Waiting 19 years for revenge plot keyed to child's virginity is unreal. Mechanics of taking virginity using masks is impossible. Making child's love her half brother, killing him and fetus off, destroying her memory is pipe dream. This BTB totally fails as a BTB tale, and is far too convoluted and wordy.

Repost this as a standalone, severing all professed connection to deepemerald's far better work.

Fail.

What A LOT of words. For nothing.

I well understand your intention. But you failed - at everything you attempted.

The original author made the original ‘Rosanna’ quite likeable, her eventual husband pretty much a non-entity.

Your effort to have me *suddenly* care about him and hate her just didn’t work at all.

I simply ended up disliking you.

Actually, it all ended up with my thinking of *you* as the opportunist. Trying to shove a character into a ‘bitch to be burned’ so that you could be the Noble ‘Judge, jury, and executioner’ - instead, you Outoftheshadows, ended up as the most pathetic.

-

Christ, greatest ‘FAIL’ among so many authors and/or characters in the world of LW’s worst failures!

Congratulations ...I guess.

Having bought the girl up....

The protagonist would have been, legally speaking, more guilty of incest than Ray.

He did it knowingly, Ray (and Ryan) unknowingly.

The 3 parents we saw most were all thoroughly despicable people.

Rosy because she just had to itch the scratch, even with a nursing boy in tow.

Ray because he had to push it and was desperate to do it again and also the way he reacted to the pregnancy, a 3rd generation of whores or a 2nd generation of innocents.

The protagonist for being able to raise a child while planning to use her for his revenge. Any decent person would have either walked away, come clean about what they knew or treated her as their daughter. In his revenge attempt, 7 innocent people get affected, Ray's wife and son, Rayna and her child and Rosy's 3 sons (I read it as the older boy and 2 that were younger than Rayna).

While burning the bitch and the bastard can sometimes be very satisfying and a fun read, having none of the main characters with redeemable features spoils the fun and the collateral damage that some insist on including in their stories completely ruins them.

On the other side, I thought it was an interesting way to follow on from someone's story, it took a few paragraphs to click who the players were d'oh!

Too much to swallow - UNBELIEVABLE!

The entire scene with him and his stepdaughter is a bit much. That she does not recognize his voice or how his body is built is too much even for Fiction! 21-years is a long time for plotting a revenge!

AnonymousAnonymousover 6 years ago
I liked it despite ... ?

A bit too much ... Our protagonist waits 20-years for his revenge is a bit much to swallow or believe but ... easy to understand for he comes across as a brooding man. Bringing it all together was a stroke of genius and undeniably plausible! A spider web that caught all of them in one foul swoop. I liked the ride OUTOFSHADOWS took us on – macabre but entertaining. It is easy to find fault but not that easy to write a story like this. I liked it very much and always had at the back of my mind "How will he bring ALL this together?” And … he did it well! Come on guys it IS fiction after all. The tension at the end was brilliantly stitched together and the outcome was dramatic irony at its best! This was BTB of a different kind – for our protagonist developed a conscience! 4-Stars!

reading after the second time author mentioned he would depend on nature versus nurture to determine Rayna's fate. For how a person feels and handles those feelings their is no simple gene determination. It is the action of many genes. Even then genes can be turned off and on by environmental factors from food and drink put inside to emotional factors in their environment. Any cue can helpl an action happen.What the main character did had more effect than what the genes were. Read about epigenetics and find out. ANother story where the result of revenge is worse than the original sin. Will read no more of these ever.

The best thing that could happen is rayna and the other kids (were there?) take out huge life insurance policies making sure there are double indemnity clauses on the pieces of shit parents, and in maybe a year, kill them in a fiery "accident" that satisfies the indemnity.

Waste of time

Wow, this guy was really retarded for wasting the prime of his life for a revenge that is both one of the poorest thought out and least satisfying revenge stories that I have come across.

It is really difficult to have sympathy for a guy that stupid, I do feel a bit sorry for Rayna that she ended up as a whore like her mother, and that the one she considered her father aided her in being one rather than stopping it, ensuring that she was fucked by both her stepfather and sperm donor, seems like the whole setup is built to hurt the daughter a whole lot more than the mother.

Then it just peters out in a depressingly impotent and lackluster ending.

He was a really shitty person.

I can't bring myself to feel sorry for him. How can any human being help raise a child who calls/sees him as daddy allow this poor child to go through all that? He could've prevented this. I understand he's angry but rayna didn't do anything to him she was innocent just like he was. I almost threw up reading Ray and raynas fucking, while he watched--that's super fucking sick! I understand his hatred for the wife & her lover Ray--but why wait 20 years? Why waste 20 years of emotions on the two turds? They weren't worthy of? Why not divorce her with the shitload of evidence he collected & move on with his life? It just seemed really silly and stupid really... The revenge isn't even btb. I felt so bad for rayna, & Ryan they NEVER had a chance growing up with these mentally challenged turds.. Mom turns her into a stripping/whore & "dad" takes her virginity--oh it gets betters he sets it up for her to fuck her REAL sperm donor... Poor girl.. Poor Ryan's only crime was falling in love---- with his sister! and he ends up dead... Why? This husband was horrible... The truly horrible thing about it is, he doesn't feel any real guilt, he doesn't take any blame for the destruction of raynas life turning upside down all because her mother/his wife is nothing but a whore. He blames Ray and the whore, for these two kids life ruining. But he set this sick shit up...

A Fascinating Tale

To me.

In particular I liked how you illustrate all the potential complexities and possible consequences of promiscuous sex.

There are many reasons why all human cultures throughout history have coalesced around one major template of sexual morality - marriage and sexual fidelity within marriage. And THE major marriage template is one man and one woman. Yes - polygamy has happened a lot in world history - but never as THE template. Only basically the "1%" of richest men could ever afford multiple wives and children. Plus aggrieved wifeless men - even "little" men - have been known to become dangerously violent sans a lack of wives for themselves.

This is one reason 80,000 more young Chinese men than women - due to sex preference abortions under China's draconian forced one-child-policy - are of such concern to many historians and thoughtful politicians. Both internally in modern China and externally - like all China's neighbors.

I felt the pacing rather slow and protracted, the writing technically excellent.....

...however, failed to inspire much connectedness to any character.

We are meant to empathize with the narrator and any innocent victims in this story....at least that is what one takes from the tone of it.

But the author writes in a rather unemotional, detached way, leaving readers with little opportunity to develop any feeling for them.

If there is any truth at all in this story, I would more accurately label it as a Greek comedy, not a Greek tragedy. They were intrigued by irony. So, they purposely mis-classified their plays.

Anyway....no clear timeline was established between the deflowering of his cuck-daughter and the accident in the villa where she lost her child. So was the child Ryan's or his?

In spite of her declarations, I believe Rosy was far too narcissistic to be capable of love. Secure, warm and confident in her situation, sure, but not love.

Finally, they spend more time together now that they are divorced and Rayna's knowledge of her parantage is public? That just doesn't make sense. And sooner or later Rayna's going to smell him or see or hear something that will make "daddy" all to familiar. The connection made, the fireworks will commence...or she'll cling into his bed one night and fuck him silly, getting pregnant by him....well that's more of a revenge fantasy than anything else....

But believe it, a different situation including unknowing incest (on her part) between a step dad and step-daughter was brought to light at a wedding where they were thrown together in a dance ending with "exciting" results.

Sorry, it was too flat and messy for the kind of drama it portrayed to entertain.

I do hope you will try another topic, working on your characterization and your story to make characters emotionally interesting and the story more realistic or at the least, more believable.

1* BUT IT DID NOT HAVE TO BE

Your ambition for this plot is admirable . Your failure due to lacking of ability is very depressing and frustrating !

I want to give you 4*s . Your characters were interesting, if one dimensional , and you had good dialogue .

Unfortunately they weren't emotionally sympathetic at the beginning . The husband was already angry and vindictive . With his revenge plotted and in motion . Rayna as an individual you failed to develop . So the reader wasn't very connected to her. The wife and others you had the husband describe as various degrees of evil. There wasn't another voice , to counter the husband . It was a long screech of hate and anger. It was so numbing that at the end I felt very little . That, even as I admire the original ending .

With all your writing experience , this type of failure merits a 1* rating . The first page promised so much.....

Cold revenge story

BTB have a very different pace than this English drama. I do not find the story very interesting.

AnonymousAnonymousover 8 years ago
Thanks for the effort. Awfully long story for such a lukewarm ending.

So who really got punished, in the end? Rosy had her fuck-fest life, her fuck-child secret, her suburban housewife life, and she's still spending her golden years in the occasional company of the man she cuckolded. While he lived a life of humiliation and fake marriage. Since Rosy has no shame or scruples, any regrets she has are mostly based on getting caught. So for a BTB story, I say the Bitch got off mostly unharmed, and with very little punishment.

last bit of comment

Oops, forgot about all the comments on Rayna as an innocent party.

1) Rosy was the one who facilitated Rayna becoming a stripper and call-girl. Not sure I've met mothers who do that but in this twisted universe, well, I guess things happen.

2) No one forced Rayna to go down that path or to take part in the virginity auction. She's older than 18, an adult and able to make her own choices. She chose to follow her mother's path.

3) As for not recognising her father's voice - that was problematic, hence, the relative lack of conversation between them. It was mostly her talking. Did ponder voice altering equipment but how does a guy do that when buck naked except for the mask. In any case, I was banking on Rayna being too excited/turned on by the mystery client set up to be looking for anyone who would be familiar. Again, no defence, but aint going for realism prize here.

Think B-movie scenarios :)

The one thing I truly apologise for is the 'flash story' part - it started off as a flash story then became a really long convoluted ride. I wrote this over lunch breaks (30 min) across 8 days. So hopefully, it's a teething thing.

As I've said to other authors in the genre, whom I've read as part of "research" into the genre, I avoided this genre for a long time simply because it brings up visceral feelings. I chose this as my first BTB story because

1) I wanted an out-and-out BTB story that would allow a protagonist (no, I don't see him as a hero and would be quite puzzled if anyone thought I could identify with him) to pursue a long term twisted revenge scheme. Hence the choice of a Jacobean tragedy inspired scheme. BTW, Jacobean revenge tragedy as typified by Marlowe and Webster is full of sex, death and revenge.

2) A protagonist that kills directly/immediately would not be as twisted as one who lets the betrayal gnaw at him for years which then in itself creates the monster that he is. The focus is not on the incest (which also happens in several Jacobean tragedies) but rather the toll that vengeance takes on the traitors and also executor of vengeance.

@TheUnoriginalist - hope that kinda explains the timeline.

3) The protagonist is a founder of a BTB forum and for one to be so committed/obsessed with being betrayed by his wife that he helps to organise a forum like that for other betrayed spouses, he needs to have been eaten alive by the focus on revenge and yet to realise the futility and waste of it all ultimately would establish the purpose of founding such a forum. The silent regret of his twisted scheme is there in the introduction. And one other thing: It's not really a cuckold story because he doesn't enjoy being betrayed.

@Harddaysknight when he first took his wife to the Caribbean, he had just started the company and had already signed the contract, there's no sense annoying the client. Even then, he clung to the hope that with his son there and his hints about how unacceptable infidelity was to him, his wife would reject Ray's advances. Of course she doesn't hence the story. I read the original encounter in deepemerald's story and the husband was completely oblivious to it all.

@Anonymous who referred to the mistakes re the driving after the dinner/ entertaining - that was from the original set up - I'm guessing entertaining guests do happen at restaurants/clubs too - lol - at least that's what I do - saves cleaning up the mess in the house.

As for exaggeration and accusations of not being believable, well, with an out-and-out revenge story, it's a bit like an action movie - where the protagonists jump off cliffs and 5 minutes later emerges not just unscathed but able to shoot down a helicopter with a handgun LOL Relax, I'm not going for non-fiction! So thanks for going on the ride with me!

ttb and Papatoad you ain't!

I gave you 3 Stars to be charitable, but I really think you should try writing something other than BTB stories. This was not that, not by a long shot!

Just a total stench of puke

This pathetic gnawing of the bones of a bad story isn't worth wasting my time in even taking apart. You're a sick bastard, I'm out after the first page.

BTB?

Ummmm.....where?

Sorry, but BTB isn't something you sit on for nearly 20 years. Cuckold, true and simple by the most basic of definitions. Not only that but what fucktard raises a daughter and then takes her virginity while setting her up for an unknown incest episode. So ultimately, the worst asshat in this entire story is your alleged "hero".

What else but taking it out on an innocent child

A BTB story that is far too complicated and unbelievable. Could you really raise a daughter for all that time and do that to her? I couldn't. 2*

Story got too boring to continue reading.

I'm sorry but the more I read the more boring this story became. Please don't write a sequel to this boring monster of a story. I couldn't read past the 4th page. I gave it 1*

Ah, I can't figure out why you bothered....

... Convoluted, overly complex, way too long, and the motivations of the characters are absolutely over the top...

I'm a science fiction fan and I believe in Huge fucking worms that make psychedelic spice, Space Freighters crewed by female lions types, and Fuzzies. But I could not suspend disbelief enough to buy into this...

thnx for the effort, I guess...

Could have been a whole lot better

Even though he said he acted like a father towards Rayna he was not much of one to her in the end was he? What about the other younger sons, where were they in this fuck up? And P.I. investigations for 20 years, what did that cost? It may be fiction but it stretched credibility to breaking point.

Should have just killed the cheating slut and her asshole lover

He should have just killed the cheating slut and her asshole lover as soon as possible after finding out what happened. That would have saved so much pain and suffering.

Wrong ending

Sort of anti-climax, after such a long build up. For that reason, only 4*
