The Cruise - (The Unloved Series)

The man felt alive, he cursed himself for how dumb he was to have stayed loyal and respectful all his life. He congratulated himself for stepping into the big boys crew. After the switch, he went home and found that his wife had skipped town and he was grateful, because he didn't have to stress himself trying to find another place for his new hobby, though deep down he felt angry because he couldn't commit his transgressions while his wife was beside him as she had done to him.
The man's wife had given up on her marriage and succumbed to a dangerous plot against her family. She knew she had these tendencies buh had lost them all when she met him and fell in love with him. But trust was as fragile as an egg and she forgot that "not all is as it seems" when she was shown pictures of her husband's supposed atrocities. Going far enough to make him out to be a pedophile was a straw that would break any camel's back, coupled with his late night meetings that, though he carefully explained to her, she thought he was out with other women as he always came back too tired for sex.
And her lure was the beautiful journalist that 'decided' to 'expose' the 'corrupt practices' of the man, but 'took pity' instead and 'showed' it to his wife in a bid to get her to convince him to stop. The man's wife didn't even try to approach the problem or try to fix it; really, who would knowingly approach a sadistic pedophile to try to talk to him/her about their immoral practice? So she was 'seduced' away from the love of her life and she ran away because she was told he had a history of violence, the proof given was the destruction he had wrought in the living room. Scared, heartbroken, and distrusting, she clung to the journalist like she was about to drown. Once they left the city, the drama ended as the journalist wasn't as loving as she was for the three months they had been together. She was gagged, tied and thrown into the back of a black sedan that turned around and went back into the city, while the 'journalist' went on her merry way.
A new plot unfolded as the man had secured a deal with the new company and was awarded a promotion and a raise for his efforts at his own company, all he thought was "more money to fund my new hobby". He enjoyed the look of despair he saw after he had had his way with a woman and told her he wouldn't be coming back for seconds or that he wouldn't provide the help or service they paid for with their body, and the utter silence that followed their false escape as they tried to gather what little dignity they had left and leave his presence as he planned his new conquest.
