A Woman Scorned

Later she would look back and see the cracks that were now obvious. How blind she once had been in the throngs of her passion. Twenty years of his affairs his lies, and his betrayal. Yet it was only by chance that she had found out. Out for lunch one day she saw him at the back, with a lovely young woman. He was engrossed in her. Their body language intense she could see the hot flames. Following when they left she saw them enter the hotel. Sicken to her very core she went home and paced. Then set his clothes on fire gleefully watching them burn. When he saw the flames he knew the game was up. He raced to try to save things Yelling out you crazy *****. Then a loud screech of tires he drove off rubber burning. As for her, the flush of triumph soon faded leaving her drained. The divorce was acrimonious the final judgement in her favour. He now learned the hard lesson never cross or scorn a woman.
