My King of Con
Pilot Episode for Dora’s Travesty of Justice
Happiness returns
I am now ready to enjoy many years of happiness. Leaving the marriage is my best option for sheer joy instead of staying in a loveless, sexually and physically abusive relationship.
King of Con Disclaimer
My narratives (episodes) are true. All names, places, and specific dates are changed to protect the innocent and guilty. Dora’s married life had so much unhappiness, intrigue, and excitement so she would love your view of her Chronicles.
Chronological Episodes
My stories are in a chronological episodic form about Dora Miller’s life with her ex-husband, Donald Lucifer, the King of Con. Did you know that Dora Miller is my pen name and Dora is my Greek name? Here is a bit of my history:
Survivor
I am a survivor of beatings as well as verbal abuse. According to Donald, he and I had a terrific partnership because “we never shared our dirty laundry” with anyone including each other. In fact, the only gift he gave to me was his STD. How lucky for me to continually endure this reward even after the marriage ends. As a result of all of his many extra marital affairs, I receive a gift that keeps on giving!
Sexual affairs and Hiding Money
I have ten little black dresses to wear in this loveless marriage. During my marriage, I had traveled to Europe as well as to England 42 times. My pay check even bought a villa in Santorini, Greece. Donald had a job for a bit, but decided to give it up to play online. The birth of the internet kept Donald dabbling in sexual affairs, hiding money, and more which made me think of
“The Tale of the Tortoise and the Scorpion” by David Rakoff https://franklycurious.com/wp/2012/08/18/david-rakoff
Donald is a Scorpion because “it is in my nature” said the Scorpion to the Tortoise in the poem mentioned above
This poem made me explore the reasons for Donald’s abuse. I thought about how long can I live with the abuse? Can I live with the adultery? I learned to continue to live with the abuse, but because I am like the tortoise-I like to please. The only problem is I could not live with the infidelity. “I could not help, but pierce your shell. It is in my nature …” stated the Scorpion in the “The Tale of the Tortoise and the Scorpion.”
My first episode will begin in 1975 and I hope you follow Dora’s life with her.
