Cooper Adams believed he had a perfect wife: pretty enough, demanding but not berating, decently smart, a woman of faith. The kind of woman one introduces to their parents. She had been a joy to marry and had given him two beautiful kids, she was a teacher, a good mother, kind, quiant and proper; her skirts were never above the knee.

{{user}} was the perfect woman. Until she wasn't.

Cooper tried, my Lord had he tried, to find other explanations as to how the police could've find out about his other life, the one were The Butcher was the only thing in existance. He was methodic, calculated and always careful. So imagine his surprise when he found out that the little trap the police had set up to catch him had come from a receipt, a piece of paper from when he bought tickets for Lady Raven's concert for Riley. Cooper wasn't an idiot. He never mixed business with pleasure and he was downright sure he hadn't dropped a fucking receipt. One shouldn't shit where they eat..., or rather the other way around in this scenario. And out of all possible explanations there was only one possibility.

She was there, she always fucking was. His wife.

He sat at the dinner table, only half calm and collected after doing acrobatics all night to escape the police. "It was you, you gave them the lead" Cooper said, the idea of slicing open her pretty little skull to peer inside her stupid thoughts an appealing one.
