She was running late,again. The third time this week. I glanced at the clock as i fished for my phone.Soon as I dialed her number the door unlocked and there she was."Why does it seem like you are putting in major efforts to not look miserable?"She slid it close. "Because I am." She hurried behind her desk and got to work."You are meeting with your parents at the Lacasa hotel,and no,you cannot cancel or postpone this one." She announced not lifting her head from her work.Odd.She has not thrown me a nasty glare,not even once. Her eyes have not made 360 degrees turn and she hasn't looked to the side trying to buy time as she weighed her words.After long hours of silence. I close my tabs. "What is going on?"She lifted her head but averted my eyes. "With what sir?"The word sir rolled off smoothly from her mouth,it never does."With us."She sighs and takes off her glasses,which by the way,she has never worn. "There is no us,sir."The stress on the last part signified that she was leveling on the formal part of our relationship. I had no problem with that so long as it did not get this awkward."Okay." I admit nodding. "Then what is wrong with you?""Nothing."My eyes narrow at her thinking of all possibilities. "Is it because of the other night"""No!" She screamed getting on her feet."No. We promised not to talk about that night."Her beautiful silky hair that was always flowing around her shoulders was now in a high ponytail that was too tight for comfortability."The day after?"She helplessly drops to her seat. "Please stop. It has nothing to do with you." She lifts her head about to make a declaration."I am changing!""Changing?""Yes." She sits uprights and pulls her chair closer to the desk. "Yes,new me. Yay."I have never heard such a weak jubilation."Hey,hey. Look at me. What is going on?"Her eyes meet mine and she quickly looks away."No. No. No." I spun her chair around and knelt before her. "Don't cry. I mean,you can cry but I won't know what to do. Tell me what's wrong. I will throw in a few dollars,make some calls,I will make it right."She sniffled so I offered her my handkerchief. "He broke up with me.""Who? Your boyfriend?"That was a dumb question with an obvious answer."Fuck him. I don't know who it was but I want to believe your taste in guys doesn't suck. I mean,look at us."She smiles a little bit then says. "There is no us,Ettiene."I suppress my smile.No more sir rolling off smoothly from that mouth."You should get under me.""What?""You know,to get over him."She huffs and spins her chair to face the front. "You have a meeting in five minutes.""On a scale of one to ten,how important?"She pushes my hand away from her thigh. "You've postponed it three times now. This is business.""Then can I feel you once the meeting is over?""No." And she was stacking papers together.She turns and faces me with a smile. "How about never?""I'll give you the money."Okay,that statement was wrong on so many levels."No,no. That's not…that's not what I mean."The glasses were back and I knew that nothing I say now would get through to her."Prepare for the meeting." She said without much of a glance.I go back to my desk. "You know,if I want to get under someone,I'll do it without getting paid. And if I want to get some cash out of it,I'll go to the appropriate place and not to my boss."I shall not reply to that._________________Dinner with my family always sucks. Jules,my brother curses my existence. The whole process is tortures as everyone will be throwing daggers at each other.My step mom at me,my brother Jules,at me as well. Father at both of them and me…well,I focused on anything that was not their faces.Today was different. One because my personal assistant was with me. She made things bearable. Two,because we had company.A young woman was seated across from me. She had no interest in whatever was going on at the table. On both her sides,were her parents I assume."Let's get to the point?" It was Jules who spoke.Father cleared his throat and patted his mouth with the serviette. "Ettiene,who is she?""Desdemona,my secretary." I felt her eyes on me but did not look to her direction. Father nodded.When I looked at her,she was focused on Jules.I hope she is not planning on getting under him.Jules smiled. "If I knew you were coming to work for him then I'd have left you on the road."I glance at her then back to my brother."Our ride broke down and he was kind enough to offer us one." She explained.I scoff. "Kind enough.""Okay. This is the Glynn family.""What business do we have with them?""This is their daughter,Myra. Since the both of you are too immersed in work to actually date,us as parents have gone a step ahead to simplify things for you." He spoke slowly making sure I felt the effect of each word."No. I am not going on a date."The girl's father clasped his hand together on top of the table,a wide grin on his face."Good,then we can go ahead with the wedding?""Yes. We can skip to that part."I frown but before I answer, Desdemona had pushed her chair back. She murmered a quick 'excuse me' and rushed off. I quickly followed."Bathroom." She said with her mouth covered."This way."She was kneeling with her head to the bowl throwing out everything she had in taken within the past few hours. I was next to her with her hair grabbed in my hand as she had untied it for dinner.My hand rubbed her back softly.She pulled back,her eyes watery."Does the idea of me getting married to someone else sicken you that much?"She went back to vomiting.My phone buzzed but I ignored it,I had much important things to take care of.

Desdemona It was all good.The joy in the house, the laughter shared, the plays they engaged in, the only things being created were good memories.It was all good.Too good to let it last.The pair had sidelined me in all that they did. Baking, cooking, playing games, I was even blindfolded while they were watching a movie.Here they were thinking of baking again. Apparently my daughter loved the activity so much she wants to do it for the rest of her life. Worst part is she wants to do it with Ettiene!“Molly,dear, I think its time to get back home. You have to go to the kindergarten tomorrow.”She whines and jumps up from the counter. I scream out, reaching for her but she was already in Ettienes hands.“Molly!” I scream. She continues to giggle, completely ignoring me.Ettiene helps her up the counter. Once again, she jumps and lands in his arms“Guys, guys,” I get in between them. “I agree that you are having fun but fun doesn't have to be dangerous.”“Okay Mommy.” She sits.

Desdemona ‘She's matured so fast.’ ‘She acts so reasonably.’Those are words I don't want to hear being used to describe my daughter. That is why I agreed to go out with Ettiene. Not as the father of my child but as a man I am giving a second chance to.My best friend glared at me from the kitchen. Everytime I face him,he avoids eyecontact.“Come on,we can't be doing this everyday. You agreed to let me be.”“Never said I'll smile as I walk you put the door.”Good point.My phone beeps, a message from Ettiene signaling he was here and that I should leave my phone behind.I sigh and call out to Molly.She comes running as usual.“Go over there and kiss Mr. Grumpy goodbye. I'll be back.”Outside, Ettiene had stepped out of the car and was now leaning against it. “What? You plan on kidnapping me?”He laughs and pulls me in his arms for a light kiss.It was over before I could even fight back.“Seriously, you-” I shake my head to clear the fog caused by his stupid kiss.“If you carry yo

DesdemonaMy eyes glared at the ceiling like it was the source of all my problems.I can't do anything in two weeks–less that two weeks actually.I roughly turn to my side and exhale loudly. The clock starred at me reminding me I have four hours to sleep before work.The date offer from Ettiene still lingers in the air. Not because I don't want to go but because he wants to go on a play date with my daughter included.A knock comes before the knob turns. He flips on the lights.“Something told me you were still awake.”“That thing was right.” I sit up.He hands me a glass of milk.“What's keeping you up?”“Ettiene and his stupid family.”He chuckles. “Must be hard.” Silence embraces us and for the first time I was uncomfortable in it.“Hey, you have something to talk about?”“I don't like the guy and the stress he puts over you. No, it's not because I'm I love with you or anything, I hate what he put you through. And I hate that you want to go back to him.”“I'm giving him time to pr

Chapter 43Desdemona Ignoring and moving on, that's what you do when too much information has been dumped on you all at once.A knock comes and I stop swinging around in my chair.“Come in.” His figure brings a light smile to me face. “I didn't expect to see you here.”“Your secretary called me.”“Ah, the new one? he's quite good at his job.”He sits. “Talk to me.”“You are remaining with two weeks till one of you takes the position.”“I'm well aware.”“What are your plans?”“Oh babe, you want me to share them with you so you could sabotage me?”I laugh, brushing him off. “Now why would I do that to the man I'm attracted to.” and the man who hurt me.He sighs and his shoulders slump. “Honestly, I don't know. Two weeks isn't enough to get that much amount, I think jules will have it this time.”I scoff. “And you are just going to let him?”He gives me a weak shrug.“I'll do it. I'll find someone to make it happen.”“It's a lot of money, Desdemona. ‘“I know. First, do you have anyone

MyraThe club was not packed up but the same smell filled the air; sweat, alcohol and cigarettes. Not to forget sex.I clear my throat and step further inside, allowing my eyes to scan over the room.Josh is tall and well built meaning he won't be hard to spot in the crowd.Cold hands grab my arm. “Come this way.”I spin around but that was not fast enough to catch the face of the man dragging me towards the stairs.“Straight ahead, last room.” He orders huskily.I scoff. ‘Rude of him to handle a woman in such a manner.’Nevertheless I follow his direction.Before I could knock the door swings open.“Josh!”“Why are you here?”I stride past him and make myself comfortable.“Is this where you make the drugs?”“Why are you here?” He repeats more sternly than before.“What? I can't come and visit my brother?”He goes round to his seat and goes back to whatever he was doing.“You are completely ignoring me.” And I'll be darned if my voice sounded as whiny as I heard it.He does not reply.

EttieneOkay.The mother and the daughter are going all out in this round."What? What do you mean my father?"Moriah stops and turns. "And for your information,he was not old then,he is old now. Either way,he does not look his age.""The fuck you mean he does not look his age?" Moriahs face does not give anything away."You are seeing him even now? Are you cheating on David? Are you repeating your past?"She gives a nonchalant shrug. "Who says I am?"Waaaait.No way."Oh so it's someone you are…" Ariel's words trail off as realization hits her like a brick.Myra lifts her head from where it was buried in Josh neck."Come again?"Josh had now quit crying and composed himself. He looks up with a scrunched face and puffy eyes. The guy has clearly been through a lot. I feel for him.Kevin who had been silent all this time lets out a long,deep growl. "You two are sisters. Do you want everything spelt out for you?""What are you mad about?" I mumble loud enough for him to hear.He waves
