"Mom, please stop searching for a lover. I don't want Fathe r's condition to deteriorate further due to your behavior. Ot herwise, I will destroy any relationship you have with any m an!" Chelsea admonished, giving a warning. She had lost c ount of how many warnings she had given, given the nume rous men her mother had approached for money, despite h er father's serious illness. "It's up to you, do whatever you want. I don't care anymore because I can't bear to live in poverty," the mother replied c almly, indifferent to Chelsea's feelings. "Fine, if that's what you want. I swear I will marry one of yo ur most meaningful lovers!" Chelsea promised her mother when the pain had taken over her.
View MoreChelsea slumped onto the bed, tossing her bag in any direction. She was truly frustrated with herself at the moment, recalling the recent events she had gone through with Carlos.Chelsea also despised and disgusted herself for willingly selling herself to that man. Several times she cursed herself and apologized to her father for her foolishness. If only Carlos hadn't stopped her earlier, she wouldn't be at home right now, but under the covers catering to all of Carlos's desires.However, the man had been kind enough to give her time to reconsider. Whether to become a sugar baby or a daughter-in-law."Indri, what should I do?" Chelsea sighed as Indri answered her call."What now?" Indri asked. "You come back from a date and instead of sharing good news, you're complaining like this. Why? Is Carlos not as handsome as his photo or...""No, it's not that. Carlos actually looks even more handsome and youthful in person.""Well, if he looks better than his photo, that's a good thing. It me
Chelsea sat in front of her vanity table, gazing at her swollen face that had just stopped crying. Witnessing and hearing her parents' arguments, which always seemed to fill her days, was taking its toll on her. Life was becoming more complicated by the day.Chelsea closed her eyes, the echoes of her mother's shouts replaying in her mind."I don't care anymore, Tomas. You have to divorce me right now!" Margareth, her mother, demanded a divorce from her father. She couldn't bear to continue living a life of poverty like this.Meanwhile, Chelsea had been working tirelessly to help support her mother's presence. It wasn't that Chelsea was afraid of her mother leaving home, but she didn't want the woman who was so beloved by her father to go, which would only worsen Tomas's condition. Margareth had been Chelsea's father's main source of support and encouragement all this time. Chelsea didn't quite understand why."I can't give you a divorce yet," Tomas whispered, still hoping to salvage h
But if she didn't show up, she wouldn't be able to reel Carlos in for a meeting. Chelsea was weighing her options on how to save her parents' marriage and fund her father's medical treatment."Yeah, Dad, what is it?" Chelsea greeted at the other end of the call as her phone rang. Her father was calling her.“C-chelsea …”"Hello, Dad. What's up?""Can you come home, dear?""I'll be home soon, Dad!" Chelsea hurriedly ended the call. No need for many questions; her father's heavy and intermittent voice could explain the situation at home.Chelsea rushed to the parking lot, riding her old scooter to leave the café area and catch up with her father. Unbeknownst to her, her actions had negative consequences on her job. Despite only having worked at the café for a month, she had somehow managed to leave without seeking permission from the café's management.This resulted in a stream of complaints from her co-workers as Chelsea left suddenly, especially since her break time had already ended.
Chelsea let out a soft sigh. Her lips pursed, and she stirred the cold mochaccino in the tall glass. She seemed to be discussing her parents with her friend, Indri.Taking advantage of their lunch break, Chelsea used the time to seek advice. It was something she always did when her mother was caught having another affair, again!"Cheating again?" Indri interjected, leaning back in her chair. She seemed weary of Chelsea's recurring issues. She was tired of dealing with the problems Chelsea faced, and tired of trying to prevent her friend's mother from seeking another lover.Even though Chelsea's father was still alive, albeit in poor health, their family had been struggling since then. Financial difficulties, her father's declining health, and her mother's infidelity had started to affect their household. It began with dwindling finances, Chelsea's father's worsening health, and her mother's affair, driven by her desire to find a wealthy man to satisfy her socialite aspirations.Accust
