Damage the end

I cannot believe that of everyone Martyn was the one who died, and what drives me crazy even more is after all this has happened after Anna destroyed his family his career and his life he still wants to be with her. The narrator still thinks if Anna of their relationship and of the time they spent together, and for him to still want her after all this just proves that he is the evil man that he wife says that he is not. In the end Anna did not care about anyone but herself, Martyn and his father were just pawns in her game, she was using them to heal over what had happens with Aston and in the end chose to continue her life without either of them.
It one of those things you just want to say "I told you so" so many people warned him about Anna an he chose not to listen, what bothers me most is that Anna damaged everyone but in the end found her peace, so many had to be sacrificed for her to find her happiness and move on.

Damage 1-14

Before I began reading Damage I read the title and automatically assumed that this book was going to be about a woman who was deceived by a man and hurt and now considered herself damage and was obsessed with damaging others, boy was I wrong!

In the beginning we meet a man who grew up with good parents, good morals, and who grew up and found his perfect match but is always making a reference to death and about a person knowing when they are going to die. He and his wife of many years had cultivated the perfect family and home, they had two children: a boy and a girl and they seemed satisfied with the life they were living. the son Martyn becomes a journalist and is some what of a play boy. He meets and forms a relationship with Anna a very older mysterious woman. 

This is where I got lost- Martyn's father and Anna are having an affair?
I guess i missed or over read in the part where any flirting or agreement to have the affair happened, but in the end they do and at the end of chapter we learn that the person who is DAMAGED is Anna from a past personal experience she had with her brother, we learn that she is a very private person and Martyn does not ask her to be otherwise in fact he doesn't ask any questions at all. I'm interested to see how the story unfolds....
