The Seven Deadly Sins: Sloth

... assimilate all sorts of new stuff, while her husband had obviously been thinking about them long and hard for some time and was well prepared.

Peter never did see the irony of the situation. Mike had done to Fiona, pretty much exactly what Peter himself had done to Jane's husband. In fact, Mike had drawn some of his inspiration from his father-in-law's example.

Whatever, it was after 11:00 p.m. that Peter was able to text Jane that until it was all sorted out, he would stay in his house with his daughter, for support. Peter's lawyers had stressed how important it was for Jane to remain resident in the family home, so it seemed they would be forced apart for the foreseeable future.

Jane did recognise the similarity in situations between Fiona and her David and hoped Peter's daughter didn't suffer the same mental collapse as her husband did. There was an element of selfishness in her hope. Certainly, she didn't wish that level of anguish on anyone, but Fiona's need would keep Jane away from her only source of emotional support. None was coming from her children. And definitely none from her parents or former friends. No one. No one except Peter. She tried to put the growing resentment of Fiona aside to allow sleep. She was on the brink of succeeding after two hours when the sound of the garage roll-a-door going up and down three times made her scream into her pillow.

It was a shrewish side of Jane that Peter had never seen, and it shocked him to the quick. He did love her, though, and after Jane's wheedling to him for over an hour on the phone that night, she was sure they were back on track.

CHAPTER 7

Fiona would eventually win her legal battle, but it was many weeks of distraction for Peter. Weeks where Jane had to fend for herself. Peter had managers to run most aspects of his business and spent the bulk of his free time with Fiona. For her part, Fiona had negative associations with Jane. She didn't want to be reminded that her precious father was capable of the same level of deceit and ruthlessness as her estranged husband. Consequently, she resisted most of her father's attempts to either invite Jane around or all go out together.

Peter took to ringing Jane on her home phone every few hours to check she was where she was supposed to be. He still refused to have a PI set on her. When she didn't answer the phone during the school day, he'd ring her cell. She was usually at some boutique or other, doing a little retail therapy with the aid of his credit card. Sometimes, he'd casually ask where she was and then surprise ...
