Lately I have been reading a few cheating stories but only ones with HEA. I have to disagree with some readers because I don't think this Ana you portrayed was weak. I think in the end she proved strong. She fought for what she wanted - her husband and through the process she found a new Ana, stronger Ana that would not be taken advantage of again. Overall the story is ok. It seemed more like a recollection of events than walking us through the events, showing us feelings, how they made up taking us through that journey. I would have like to go through their first make up, the talk, the love making and showing how scared they were to take the first steps back to rekindle their marriage after the fall out. But hey, its your story, your writing. Appreciate your contribution to the writing world. Thanks. Hope you take my "criticism constructively.

Wow. Sad for all parties. I dont see how this is an HEA, especially for Ana.

Why have I never read this story before? It is without a doubt the OG of all cheat stories for FSOG FF! You delivered a captivating story and I was on the edge of my seat from start u TIL finish! Bravo!

Oh waw what a scumbag Christian is, I think Anna should just use him for sex, ahah shame to not use that bod n face. But without Emotion make him feel used. Great story.

Why is it that the women are always the bad guys in these stories, Christian knew he had a wife and kids but he still chased this girl, once again getting off scot free and Ana is left looking like a complete idiot until the next time someone crosses his path. What would have happened if Ana had not caught and confronted his behind my guess he would have kept doing what he was doing, as he put it he was getting the pie and eating it too...

The most pathetic Ana I’ve ever read. You can wrap her in ‘strong’ Ana rhetoric as much as you like, she’s ridiculous. Her husband fucked 9 other women and seriously thought of replacing her with another and she allowed it, now she’s excusing it. Has she even had an STD check?

OMG this then the most pathetic Ana I have ever read. She knew he was cheating for 8 years and did NOTHING? And let him back into their bed and had sex with him? What-did Ana go get tested for STDS every time he came home "late from a meeting" and fucked her? Ana was much stronger than the sad doormat you portrayed her to be in your story.
Christian was his usual immature, spoiled, selfish asshole self who really needed to be kicked in the balls. I cannot believe I read this entire story...I kept thinking it would get better or Ana would develop some self respect and divorce his worthless ass, but instead she just got worse. She may have beaten Alice at the end, screwing her out of her manuscript, but she still forgave him and lived happily ever after...she should have divorced Christian after she screwed Alice...

Great story - really sucked me in - nice job!

IMO the only happy ending in this is for Alice...seems like she has a nice husband and is not overly bitter/obsessed with the outcome of her little plan...

I MUST rant about Christian and Anna...omg...they deserve each other (and not in a good way!).

A: So if I'm reading this correctly, she knew that C was cheating on her with subs FOR YEARS and did absolutely nothing about it. She lived with him...had unprotected sex with him...raised their children together and pretended that nothing was amiss at all FOR YEARS. She lived with the humiliation as well that various staff (Taylor? whoever cleaned escada? Flynn?) was in the know as well. Yikes. That just seems REALLY messed up to me. The only reason she ever actually reacts or confronts him is when she just happens to walk into it in his office and then sees him out with her afterwards. If that had not happened she presumably would have lived the rest of her life with this little secret just there between them and never discussed. Once the shit hits the fan, she forgives him for getting violent in response to the one and only date she has ever had (double standard much?!) during their separation, bails him out of a potentially colossal public mess threatened by his last almost conquest and just takes him back with the hope, I suppose, that it (years of lying, cheating and betrayal) won't happen again. Ugh. Now I understand trying to stick it out perhaps for the kids...but this is pathetic, Anna!

C: WHAT a narcissistic, whiny, hot (literally) mess! So he who always claimed 'no sharing,' not only cheats with subs (potentially exposing A to VD) but also embarks on a total cliche mid life crisis affair with a much younger employee (what happened to no dating in the office?!) who is quickly being teed up to replace his wife. This latter situation ONLY comes to a screeching halt because he gets caught. He (a billionaire local celebrity) is stupid enough to take this young employee out to a public restaurant where he can easily be caught/seen feeding her oysters?! He also brings her to his city home and shows her his dirty little (potentially career and family destroying) secret absent the usual NDA?!...why on earth would Anna want this man? For the love of God, take the money, take the kids and GO.

It's easy to paint Alice as the villian in all this with her malicious little plan...but the truth is that she just as easily could have simply been what he thought she was...a nice young Anna replacement. It was his intention to pursue and groom her on that basis. He is the real villian here - I think that Alice (never mind Anna!) is better off without him in the long run.

Weird book. What about the kids I thought they were married

Kind of a weird book she doesn’t care that he is cheating why is she still with him

41 Chapters Read In Under 90 minutes. You really Dropped The Ball On This "ALMOST A Gem". To Bad. You Really Could Have Made This Into "THE STORY" To End All Stories. The Bones Were There, But You Busted Them. You Should Had Your Imagination Run Wild. You Could Have Asked The Readers For Their Opinions To Help You Add Fire To This Story.

I wish the chapters were more than a five minute read!

I loved it! You did an amazing job!

Superbly written. Your writing talent is exceptional, and this story is a testament to that fact. Thank you for creating this gem and sharing it with all of us. Would that there could be more fanfic writers who possess your level of creative skill with the written word. Your talent is a rarity, and this story is a gift. I give you my gratitud and appreciation. A million thanks!

Thank you for writing this storyline. It was amazing until the very end.
