Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Eileen bumbled down the stairs blearily, and got a fright at the black figure on the couch.

She knew that Eric was not the kind of person to sleep around.

At least, not before what happened to Vera.

Eric had lost himself in alcohol and sex after Vera’s death, and had had a good deal of

Eileen knew that with Will around now, Eric would never dare to do much to her.
