FALLIBLE

When basic needs are implicit, power, sex, and egobecome the commodities of craving, driving some people to go way beyond theboundaries of acceptability to achieve their fix. Tom Taylor was one suchindividual. He had everything. A beautiful and loving wife, a successfulpublishing company, and all the money needed to fund a substantial house,luxury cars, and a yacht, but for Tom that was not enough. He needed theattention of a mistress, a much younger woman who would stroke his ego andsatisfy his demand for extramarital sex. It was exciting living on the edge. What he hadn't bargained for was her falling in love with him. Tom's story is not unique. He was handsome, charismatic,charming, and a social magnet. He drew people in. Friends and acquaintanceswere in abundance and business deals invariably went his way. As therelationship with his mistress evolved she became more challenging. She wantedhim to herself demanding he divorce and marry her. Tom's mistake was to promiseher he would do just that but had no intention of leaving the woman he loved.
