Kimberley's Story

di D.D. Grey (Autore)

D.D. Grey, 2023

They're young, beautiful, with fast cars and luxury homes—with absentee, older husbands. Bored and lonely, each of our trophy wives has her own solution. Her prowess on the track, where her 400M time took her to the state championships at 15, made her a track star. She couldn't quite shave the final second off her best to make the nationals. After a serious accident on her bike at 17, her career as an athlete was stillborn. But the star of the netball and cheerleading squads excelled in college, gaining a near-perfect 4.0 GPA and graduating from the Dean's List. Her professor encouraged her to follow her penchant for maths and go for first her Masters and then her Doctorate in qualitative statistics. When she is no longer his student, her mentor is free to ask her out. She'd always had a soft spot for the 55-year-old man, and after a short romance, they were married. It was only now she found out what his real life's work had been. He'd developed a system for playing poker, and he needed a second player. For two years, they worked the casinos, earning a fortune measured in millions, but after being caught out by an eagle-eyed pit boss, they were now barred from every casino on the strip. He went back to teaching, but at 29, she had nothing. A friendly game of low-stakes poker with a few of his colleagues got a bit rowdy one night, and since she'd lost, they suggested she took something off. Kimberley refused, but the next week, her husband was away at a conference, and his poker-playing buddies showed up again.
