Steph was sitting at her desk the following morning and still feeling a little emotional thinking about her relationship with Jon and the future of it, or lack of one when she decided that she should start her research on Mrs Brooker. She had slept very little the night before and even when she had dropped off she had dreamt of her and Jon and his wife. Every dream had ended the same way; Jon and his wife got the happily ever after while she had been left alone and crying. By four o’clock that morning Steph had decided that she might need to do her own research, answer her own questions about Mrs Brooker in private if only to allow herself some time and privacy to absorb it all and maybe cry a few more tears. She really was the worst mistress in the world . . . she’d reached that conclusion at five o’clock that morning.

She had another hour before she needed to leave her office to go to Brooker’s which was enough time to do a little digging. Getting herself and Rosie a coffee gave her some time to consider what to put into the search engine on her laptop.

She didn’t even know what Mrs Brooker’s name was, so decided to start with what she knew, Jonathan Brooker. As she hit the enter key she felt sick. There were pages of entries and as she sieved through them she found several references to a Mrs Brooker.

She switched to images and as they loaded there were several of him with various pretty young women, and then she saw her, a tall, leggy blonde resting a hand on Jon’s shoulder whilst his arm was draped around her waist and she was absolutely gorgeous. Steph felt sick as she clicked on the image and the enlarged version showed a huge ruby and diamond engagement ring on her ring finger sitting against a gold band, a wedding ring. She was perfect and as Steph looked down at the image of this beautiful couple smiling and holding onto each other it was quite obvious that they were very close; no wonder he had avoided discussing his wife but knew she was being unfair in that accusation as she was the one avoiding discussing her.

If she was fair to Jon, she had to admit that he seemed to be honest and wouldn’t tell her that his relationship with his wife was one of convenience and that she didn’t understand him, that there was no physical side to their relationship unless it was true, so she now assumed that their relationship was physical and was not one of convenience and presumably she understood him well.

Steph stared at the screen and wanted to cry again. This was a ridiculous situation she had made for herself. She had wanted to have sex with Jon, and rather than being a one-night-stand she had made the situation possible and then agreed to the arrangement they had, but she was already doubting whether she could do it.
