Betryayed

i'd just been declared surplus to requirements by my boss with bloodshot eyes i plodded home completely at a loss oblivious of my ex-secretary's commiserations mum's late stage cancer portended impending tribulation what bruised my heart was my boss' betrayal his reward for my being unflinchingly loyal my mind raced to dad's Dane gun, and a well knotted noose, and lethal pills just one good hot and my sorrows will cease somehow the thought of my fiancé filled my mind she was of heaven-so gentle and kind i'll stay for her. oh such a dear! i whistled generously, passers by stare the angelic fiancé turned out a fiendish spouse she wouldn't cook, she wouldn't work or even clean the house my income vanished as it came and it was all her effort she also nagged whenever i offered mum support but it was her promiscuous lifestyle that often drove me senseless young, old, rich and poor; she was just so shameless my limit was reached the day i caught her with my erstwhile boss homicide was the easier bet but i settled for divorce to my utmost dismay, the judge added the burden of alimony to the same unfaithful villain who had wasted my money worse still outside the courtroom she gave a parting shot "you were definitely the worst of the lot even the old judge was much better than you as was the vicar, the postman and your valet too" i regained consciousness in the emergency room of a hospital where i got to learn that my condition had been fatal somehow, i had consumed some capsules of arsenic i was just so lucky to have been found by Nick with tears streaming down my face i told the doctor all about Grace for what seemed like ages, he stared blandly at me then with lips quivering, he said these words to me “this morning my wife and children were slain by a suicide bomber i was all set for Israel when you were brought in coma my duty is to save lives, so i couldn't let you waste yours life may be mean to us but someone else has it worse adversities are like batons, you must get them to win a relay race sorry you just got divorced but therein lies your ace being alive gives you the chance to get it right again your ex-wife's loss will be another maiden's gain”
