Her Heart's Possession, His Favorite Obsession

Isabel Lawson married Allen Howell, and the marriage went on for two years. One night she had a dream. In it, the next day her husband met the woman fate had picked for him, and the two of them spent a night together, after which he could no longer leave her alone. From then on Allen took the woman's side in everything. At an auction he bid enormous sums on jewelry for her. The custom-made dresses and the designer bags that had been Isabel's went to the other woman. Isabel tried every method she could think of to drive the woman off and hold the marriage together. None of it worked, her husband came to despise her, and she died in a psychiatric hospital. When she woke, she got up and slapped Allen three times without saying anything. After that she started making plans.
