To hell with the rules, I would say. A good story! I especially like that you don't tell it chronologically in detail, but in sections that let the reader fill in the gaps themselves. A very good stylistic device. You trigger, my mind does the rest. LOL
I think your story has a perfect ending and I wouldn't want to continue it because it can only get worse. HaHa! You'd have to top the coup or add an even more difficult hurdle. I would otherwise have to blow the whistle on the cheating couple and I wouldn't feel like doing that. People truly like to be a victim of deceit because there is also a desire for adventure and thrill in them. If they give in to it, they learn an important lesson, sometimes in hard currency. I have no particular sympathy for them, rather I think it is a valuable experience in the treasure chest of life. :)
I’m glad you see it that way. Thanks for reading, your comments are always so insightful.❤️💕🤗💕❤️❤️
