The Other Woman Doesn’t Work
June 16, 2008
Not that she was destined to become the next Angelina Jolie – not
even close – but since B List and reality stars are all the rage these
days, who’s to say she would not have had a career revival as the
matriarch for a new generation? Or a movie of the week once every few
weeks?
The problem is her love life. She is in love with a man
who has a wife. A man who comes from a legendary family. A man who is
supposed to be a bastion of fidelity, with strong values and a wholesome
image. This is not the man who should be carrying on an affair with an
actress, hidden away in hotels, picked up on the sly by his security
team, given a code name by his people. Her birthday is noted in his
assistant’s organiser, it’s as official as it gets, only it’s also the
best kept secret, and he intends to keep it that way which is why she’s
only allowed to work sparingly. Which means guest appearances only and
no long standing commitments, lest she reappear on the radar and invite a
little curiosity, potentially blowing their cover.
She lives by
his rules because she thinks what they have is real and forever but not
surprisingly, he has his eye on someone else. Almost her doppelganger.
Some say she will be replaced. Is cheating hereditary?
