That's a Job for a MILF 23.5 (Day 57)

New York, September 14, 1999

Dear Diary,

I just can't explain how I felt when I held my daughter in my arms for the first time. It was sublime. At that moment, I was happier than I thought it was possible to be. My life hasn't been so amazing, you know… but it changed now. Now I have a reason to live.

I swear to God that Brianna's life will be different. I won't allow anyone to force her to do what she doesn't want to. She'll be happy and free. This is what a real mother must do. I love my baby girl more than anything, and I'm sure it will never change. She's my heart, my soul, my whole world. 

 The following years were the best for Suzanne. She spent all her time with Brianna, and she just couldn't get enough of the girl. In her mother's eyes, she was the cutest and prettiest girl who had ever lived. 

Larry Patterson, her father, also liked the girl, of course, but it wasn't the same thing. Suzanne knew very well that what he really wanted was a son, but she doubted she would be able to give birth again. She'd had a lot of trouble getting pregnant for the first time, and now she was over thirty, so it would be even more difficult. 

When the man finally accepted this fact, he gradually grew apart from his wife. They kept up appearances, acting like a happy couple in front of other people, but the truth was that they virtually didn't have any kind of intimacy anymore. 

Suzanne thought it was a good thing, though. She had never loved – not even liked – her husband, so it was a relief not to be forced to deal with him so often. Also, it meant she had more time for Bree, who was now a lively, charming child.

However, a few years later, things went bad for the family. Larry started drinking a lot, and after pressing him for many weeks, he confessed that his business weren't going very well. It wasn't like he was on the verge of bankruptcy, but he wasn't making as much money as before – not even close. 

Suzanne offered help. It wasn't just about her well being now. She had to think about her daughter's future, which was the most important thing for her. Some months later, Larry was forced to swallow his pride and accept his wife's offer. He had moved to a much smaller office, and any savings in staff would be welcome. 

Suzanne started working as his part-time secretary, while Bree was at school. She got the hang of it pretty quickly, and was even doing better than expected. Her strong point was interpersonal relationships. The woman found out she could be a master at that, which greatly facilitated the work of her husband in dealing with customers and suppliers. 

The situation remained unchanged for some years, until the company's financial condition improved. Then, Larry said that Suzanne didn't need to work anymore. She felt hurt by that. She had helped to rebuild the business' reputation, after all, and now he was dismissing her. 

Larry's excuse was that his wife had to their care of their daughter. Brianne was entering adolescence, and so she needed full dedication. Her father was worried about how she was acting, thinking she was too friendly toward boys. 

Suzanne had seen all that before. Larry was saying the same things her dad used to say when she was a teenage girl. But she wouldn't let her daughter have the same fate as she had, oh no! She had promised it the day the girl was born. The couple started to fight a lot about the girl's behavior, but Suzanne, who spent most of the time with her, kept raising her daughter as she thought it was right…

A few years later, Larry's alcoholism and sedentary lifestyle finally charged their price. After a fulminant heart attack, he died almost instantly, even before an ambulance could reach the family home. Obviously, since he was over seventy by them, and his health was already giving some warning signs, his death wasn't exactly something surprising. 

Even so, it was difficult for Suzanne. She had never liked her husband, and their relationship had deteriorated badly over the years. Still, she had lived with that man for almost thirty years, and now she and Brianne were alone in the world. Also, she would have to take care of her husband's business by herself. 

However, when she had access to the real situation of the company, she saw that it was terrible again. Very little could be saved, and she was advised to sell everything while she could still make some money from it. She cursed Larry for hiding the truth from her. That bastard, who had always boasted of his business skills, clearly was a terrible administrator. 

But the worst was yet to come... In the company's cash book, Suzanne found several suspicious expenses, such as dinners at upscale restaurants and purchases at jewelry stores. None of that made sense. Suzanne had never been in many of those places, and Larry hadn’t bought her jewelry for a long time.

After some research, she was able to discover the truth. Her deceased husband had had several lovers, including prostitutes. That was why business was going so badly. Larry was spending company money on whores! 

Suzanne had never been so furious in her entire life. The son of a bitch had not only compromised the future of his own daughter, but also cheated his wife multiple times! Suzanne had always felt disgusted by that man, but still she remained faithful to him. And now, at forty-seven, she realized how stupid she had been. She felt like she had wasted all her youth for nothing. She had always been a stunning woman, and a lot of men lusted after her over the years. Still, she'd never slept with a guy who could truly satisfy her. 

So much time wasted in a marriage with a man she hated… What would she do now? 

According to her diary, after many weeks of suffering and sadness, she concluded it was the time to make up for the lost time…
