About this ebook
UnHoly Alliance, a powerful and truly vivid story of an ex-priest who marries young women as he searches for love and adoration, imposing his will and cheating on his chosen wife. At times the stories are poignant and heartbreaking as it addresses lifes drama on broken marital relationships and what it means to a love-deprived spouse who marries for the wrong reasons; leaving behind a trail of broken hearts, mental illness and loneliness. Deprived of family love as a child, he does not know how to love a spouse or children he begets. Johns ego interferes with making his wives happy.
Marriage to John is an official paper, nothing more. During each marriage he befriends an unsuspecting young woman as he convinces her of his honorable intentions as a mentor. The reader finds how he complicates marriage by having a pretend friend he introduces uncaringly in his present marriage. Divorce only means he will marry quickly his side-friend, avoiding loneliness and his part in admitting his role in creating havoc in his previous marriage.
His sexual prowess will keep him from understanding his part in the destruction of the sacrosanct sacrament of matrimony. Molded by a priestly past, John, a handsome, intellectual man, blames the Church for his personal demise. His past haunts him, never giving him peace, as his betrayal to his present wife will never change his attitude toward other women.
The immorality unravels as his wives begin to mature intellectually. His lack of faithfulness to his beautiful trophy wives deepens his betrayal and lack of loyalty. Emma will be the chosen one to contemplate on the many years he married her and the contradictions she begins to unravel. Her deep scars will turn into a story of a love gone wrong as she examines her shattered illusion of love.
