The Mistress

<p><strong>I didn’t mean to get involved with a married man – I had no idea he had a family at home. But by the time I found out about Helen I was head over heels in love with him. I would have done anything for Ralph… that is until I found out what he was really hiding.</strong><br /><br />The night it happened I was standing on his doorstep waiting for him to let me inside. Helen was at a parent-teacher conference and I was hoping this was the moment Ralph finally decided to end his broken marriage and be with me. <strong>I couldn’t have been more wrong.</strong><br /><br />I sometimes think I never really knew Ralph at all. Because I never thought he’d be capable of doing what he did. It wasn’t only dangerous it was very very wrong. And I’m not talking about cheating on his wife.<br /><br /><strong>As I said I came there that night hoping to finally be with the man I love. The very last thing on my mind was killing him.</strong><br /><br /><strong>No marriage is ever what it seems from the outside</strong>.
