“This is my secret love nest, Eve. I’m taking you to meet my mistress.”
“What?!”
“It is a tangled and unhappy tale of hearts betrayed and loyalties misplaced. It was not I that strayed. My love was Justice, and, infatuated with her truth and liveliness, I worshipped her.
…until, behind my back, she took up with a man who violated and abused her; someone fierce and brutal with burned children on his breath. He changed her. She acquired a taste for leather, chains, and whips.
The Justice that I loved was gone; who had such kindly eyes; who took such small and careful steps…Transformed, she glared through narrow slits and ground good men beneath her vicious heel.
Imagine when I learned of her affair…My anger and my shame to think how they’d made mock of all that I loved. My Justice and her bestial swain, cavorting in their bloodstained sheets.
Still, all in love and war is fair, they say. This being both, and turnabout’s fair play. Though I must bear a cuckold’s horns, they’re not a crown that I shall bear alone.
You see, my rival, though inclined to roam, possessed at home a wife that he adored. He’ll rue his promiscuity, the rogue who stole my only love, when he’s informed how many years it is…since I first bedded his.”
