wife for her. She thought her plan had worked. She finally had Ken.
    Initially when she suggested Ken leave Monica, he would change the subject. As time passed, Susan would not let him get away with avoiding her question.
    He would tell her that he was working on it. She often told him that she had fallen in love with him. Instead of replying that he loved her, he would kiss her passionately each time she said it. He had developed some feelings for her but was not in love with her.
    Susan had no idea that he never intended to leave his family. He only told her what she wanted to hear so she would remain quiet and he could still get what he desired from her.
    Ken was enjoying the best of both worlds: a beautiful, sensual, and caring wife and a fiery, explosive mistress. His dreams had come true and the best part of it all was that he was able to keep his relationship with Susan a secret.
    He believed he had everything under control. He thought he knew Susan very well and didn’t believe she would create any problems. He had no real idea of the type of woman Susan really was or what she was capable of.
    Susan was a twenty-seven-year-old middle-school teacher. Because of her looks and figure, she never had any problems getting a man, but she was never able to keep one. Whenever a man showed her a little interest or they shared a casual fling, she assumed they were in a committed relationship. She had a history of calling men often and becoming angry when they did not reciprocate. Her behavior would become increasingly erratic and she would leave nasty voicemail messages.
    She had never been married. The only serious relationship she had was in college with Tony. Their relationship lasted nearly two years.
    She and Tony met when she was a freshman and he was a junior. He played basketball and all the girls wanted him. When he saw Susan he was instantly attracted to her. They were inseparable until she became pregnant at the end of her sophomore year. She wanted to keep the baby but Tony did not.
    He was about to graduate and was being drafted into the NBA. She decided to have an abortion and never told anyone other than him. Their relationship ended and Susan was never quite the same. Tony joined the NBA and he never spoke to Susan again.
    After graduating from college, she moved to Chicago and started teaching. She never viewed men the same way after Tony. She tried very hard to please the men she got involved with by doing everything she thought would keep them satisfied.
    Since she typically slept with men shortly after meeting them, they only viewed her as someone to spend time with when their girlfriends or wives had them on sexual lockdown. Unfortunately for Susan, by the time she realized that the men she dated only wanted her for sex and not a full relationship, she had already fallen for them.
    After years of following this painful, predictable pattern, Susan decided that the next man she got involved with—married or single—was not going to use her like all the other men had done.
    She was determined to not let him easily walk away. She would do whatever was needed to get him to see that she would make a good wife. She decided that she was going to take control of the relationship and not let him dominate it as she allowed men to do in the past.
    Ken was not the first married man she had been involved with. Her friend Jeff was married. She was preparing to go after him and try to break up his marriage when she met Ken.
    When she first saw Ken at the restaurant with his friends she resolved that she was going to get him. Not only was he handsome, she could tell he had money.
    She believed once she could get him to talk to her that she would be able to reel him in. Everything was working according to her plan.

     
    In her mind, Susan finally had a man of her own. She gave Ken keys to her apartment and began buying his favorite foods so he would feel at home at her place.
    She purchased his personal items for her place
