  We arrived at my parents’ place first, who were ecstatic to see us. I hadn’t seen them in a long time.“You should have told us you were coming soon,” my mother said, “I would have made a feast to welcome you.”My mother and father were business owners at their time. They owned a small shop, and it was doing very well.I always craved my mother and father’s warmth, because after they lost everything when I was still little, they buried themselves in work.They only worried about our future, neglecting me and Dani. As a result, the hard labor took a toll on them. They looked way too old for their age.“Mother,” I could feel tears well up. Brian asked to help me with my situation many times and I always refused to.It would have helped me greatly only if I hadn't been so prideful, so prideful to always think I would do this all on my own. I would rescue my family all on my own.&ldqu

• The billionaire scandal- the office affair.   Chapter 29 – Goodbye vacation.

  It had been a week since Miles asked me to close things off, which made me very uneasy, because since then he had taken his time to be an involved boyfriend.And he chooses to bring me lunch every day, “Miles, I told you there was no need for this, I can just buy something.”He didn’t even listen to me, he just simply started unpacking his home-cooked meal on the table. “I made your favorite, I jotted the recipe down while Dani cooked last time.”Even before we opened up our relationship, he wasn’t like that. He was always affectionate only at home, or during intimacy.“You seem busy,” Brian’s annoyed voice rings from the door. He looks at the table and then at me, “romantic lunch?”“Yes, I have seen how unappreciative I was to my girlfriend, so I decided to be more romantic,” Miles says proudly.“Hmmmmm…….” Brian hums, “Next time yo

  Daniela had been acting a bit distant since yesterday. Even when she was getting on the bus back to campus, she had a hard time hugging me.It worried me greatly that I must have done something to hurt her. Trisha kept insisting she would be fine, but that made me even more anxious.What if it was them who made her this distant? Her not telling me what had happened made me more anxious, because regardless of what it was, she would always tell me everything.So, I decided to get advice from someone who is not part of all this madness, my boss and lover, Brian.He listened to me, “Maybe we should have someone follow Miles, see what he might be hiding.”“The only thing I can think of is an open relationship. "Maybe Dani saw Miles with another girl and thought he was cheating.” I started to ponder whether it would make so much sense because, truthfully, it would spook her up if she found Miles was two-timing me.“Bu

  Daniela was settling in well, with the peace of mind that mom and dad were taken care of by Brian, who, for some reason, had moved in with them to help with the move. We were able to lay back and have some sister time.She stayed home and made sure to cook all kinds of food I liked and, with her newfound allowance, she was able to buy all kinds of groceries for us.Trisha and Miles would always marvel at how great of a cook she was. Daniela was a star. From when she was young, everything she would do she did with a bang.She was school council president for her senior year and she made sure every student in her year finished high school with marks that were able to get them to any school of their choice.She entered a dance competition once to raise money for her university registration fee, and she won it effortlessly. I always say that she was a superstar, “I only shine bright because of you,” is what she always tells me.Soon it was

  Brian had become very busy after that plea. For a very good reason, we have just started building a new branch in another town.I was left in the office making sure everything ran smoothly while he was out of time, making sure the foundations were laid out well.It was a long day when I found someone at my doorstep, “sister,” Daniela, my little sister.This was an unexpected visit. Though Daniela was studying a few hours out of time, she never got time to visit during recess as she was busy doing side hustles to help me pay her fees.Or most of the time, she would visit my parents who lived in the countryside. We were all fighting that she finish medical school without a hitch.My parents were disheartened when I couldn’t finish school. They tried their best until they were sick. They wanted Dani to be able to finish, be the one that breaks generational curses, and so do I.“What are you doing here? I thought you were

  His cold hands moving around my body makes my blood cold. Most of the time, when we fought, this was the way we would solve things.He kissed me for a while before moving to take off my clothes, reminding me, I didn’t have much time to deliberate because Miles never liked foreplay.“We can’t,” I tell him, “I am tired from the whole trip and sex will not make me forgive you, Miles.”He mutters something inaudible under his breath before jumping off the bed. “You know I could always get it somewhere,” he argues.And for some reason, this makes me happy. “We are in an open relationship. Miles, do what you think is right for your body.”I felt at ease watching my boyfriend slam the door as he went out to screw another girl. The absurdity of all this needs a very strong prayer. I have officially gone mad.Trisha woke early to make breakfast to apologize but she didn’t forget to gri
