I was about to go, "OMG, Josephine, FTW?!" until she got to the mistake part. Then? Not so much. Also, I'm super interested to find out what happened when Natalia got pregnant because it sure doesn't sound like she and Josephine are remembering it the same way.

I really love this story. I think you are such a superb writer and the way you've been handling Natalia's conflict and really getting into it is awesome. So... *bows down*

I'm sure it goes without saying that I can't wait for the next update! :)

They sure aren't. The remainder of the fight should be enlightening for all concerned. Thanks!

She'd needed him as shelter, a place to hide, and so she'd given him her body in payment. Later, when they were married, she'd sold herself in much the same way - this time in exchange for the normal family and easy life she knew Rafe had always dreamed of. - Neat lines!

Sex for her had always been about giving - giving herself, giving pleasure, giving her body like it was a commodity to trade for safety, or normality. - Ouch

Because she knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that Olivia loved her. She could feel it as an almost physical force whenever they were in the same room. - :D

A deeply unpleasant sneer formed on Josephine's face. "Long confession," she said. "You had a lot to confess, hmm? Like what you get up to with that so-called boss of yours." - Bite me Josephine!

She grabbed Rafe by the hair, dragging him back into Natalia's bedroom and throwing him to the bed, ignoring his gasps of pain and disbelief. - o.O

"Shut your mouth you ungrateful wretch!" she shouted. Natalia's jaw almost hit the floor, but her mother ( ... )

Ummm.... yeah? I mean, it's truth, but from Josephine? I am so confused.

Ah. Well, you see, she's not really talking to Rafe :-)

You know what sucks? I saw this go up and I really want to read it, but Part 23 is still banging around in my head. I feel like I can't move forward until I'm done processing that part--it's making Swiss cheese out of my brain!

I spent many many years in Catholic school and I didn't ponder/analyze things near as critically as I have with this story. I don't know whether I should thank you or demand money back from my parochial school. :-&

I look forward to actually reading this update some time in the near future. :)
