Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 107

In New York, no one really knew what Jackson's wife looked like because she

kept such a low profile. All anyone had heard was that she was the ideal picture of obedience, the perfect wife material. But Jackson wasn't after a docile puppet; he wanted to pick his own partner!

Clara had been listening to Jackson vent about his mystery wife for a good ten minutes. He didn't even have a clue about her appearance. She glanced over at Dylan, realizing just how tight he and Jackson must be, given he'd shown up at a place like this to lend an ear.

After another half an hour, Jackson had an epiphany: he'd have an affair, find someone to fool around with, and wait for his wife to crack under the pressure and call it quits. This plan put him in better spirits, but the look he shot Clara was still full of distain.
