His Mistress Is Pregnant And I Am Done

For nineteen years, Rosalind Pike processed every change at Pike Automotive Group exactly as submitted. Payroll adjustments. Title packets. The bank's semiannual floorplan certification, signed on the line that reads officer with knowledge of the facts.

Then a rainy Tuesday inventory walked her out to the back row, where unit 4471 sat wearing a dealer plate and eleven thousand miles on a demonstrator the agreement capped at six. An infant seat base threaded into the second row by somebody who had read the manual twice. A sonogram printout folded in the console with BABY PIKE printed across the bottom.

The bank's field examiner would arrive in twenty-two days.

Roz altered nothing. She hid nothing. She wrote one word in the exceptions column and went on doing her job, because the schedule tells the truth without being asked, and because a woman who has handled every document in a building for nineteen years already knows which ones her husband never read.

He invented a job title for his girlfriend.

He forgot who ran payroll.

A standalone revenge story in the Lies, Cheats, & Dirty Deeds series. No cheating heroine, no crimes committed, and a very bad month for a man who signs where the arrow points.
