Desdemona"I'm sorry,mother. We have to tell them."My jaws dropped to the ground and my arms to my side."Please tell me you are kidding.""Oh shit!" Ettiene cussed.I laugh then pause to exchange a glance between the two. "You are joking,right?"No response. "This isn't serious.""No shit it is.""No. No. Tell me it's one of those dumb things you do mother. Tell me that you got with a boy with mommy kink and that's what you have going on."Heavy silence followed."Wow." I say while nodding. "It's not."Myra laughs but that's the least of what I want to focus on at the moment."This family is so messed up.""Explain." I ordered. "It's not worth it." She shrugs it off."No. I deserve an explanation and that is exactly what you are going to give to me." I shuffled from the centre of the room and took a seat on the edge of the bed."Maybe we should go talk about this at home.""I see no reason for that." I argue sternly. "Josh,your son over there will probably tell Myra about it. Kev
Desdemona"Wait,what?""Collins is not your father." Mother's voice was even,no trace of emotion but I still felt like she had screamed them.As if she slapped me right across the face with them.So all those years I kept up with the man's shit,I could have done something. I considered the fact that he was my father in every decision I made.My eyes well up.I quickly wipe the tears because there was nothing to cry about."I hate him." My chest burn as I mutter those words."And not him alone,I hate you and I hate my biological father as well." The bitterness in my voice made it sound strained."Yeah. Yeah. But…who is your father?" Myra who was not seated asks.I sprint up and wrap the robe around me tightly. "I don't care. I don't want to know. Leave. Everyone leave."The tears streamed down my cheeks.Ettiene stands beside me and pulls me against him. I allow myself to melt into his support."You do care,babe."I hear Myra snarl from afar."You do and that's why you are crying righ
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
DesdemonaA strong arm wrapped around my waist tightly,cradling me closer to the mascular chest. Hot breathe lingered on my neck,the next one being warm than the last. I creased my eyebrows in confusion, blinking countless times to get rid of the blurry vision.I could tell I was not in my room, on my bed because of the White painting on the wall and the smell of a strong cologne. The bed felt oddly comfortable compared to what I sleep on at home. Stiffly, I turned my head to look at who was sleeping beside me and I almost screamed but I covered my mouth with my hand just in time. My eyes went wide and my body tensed.A masculine figure lay beside me, his jet-black hair was messy and he looked so peaceful while asleep.From my angle,I glanced around the room. From the way things were arranged ,it is a hotel. A very expensive one at that because ain't no way a bed like this exists in a hotel around my hood. Clothes were scattered everywhere on the floor. And even though it's only his
DesdemonaBeing under someone you love is an incredible feeling. Being under someone who loves you in return is even more amazing. Now getting beneath someone you truly despise and loving it is another story in itself."Aren't you going to sit down?" He asked with his eyebrows raised."I prefer standing." After a pause I added sir."Very well." He tapped his fingers kn the desk. "What's today's schedule?""You have a call at ten am with the…""Make sure it goes to voicemail."I nod. "Then lunch with your parents…""Cancel it."Well someone is in a grumpy mood. "What's men's equivalent for attendance?"He lifted his eyes to me. "What?""If I was having such a sour mood you'd ask if I am on my periods. What's your equivalence to that?"His eyes pierced mine and I thought I should have kept my mouth shut."Sorry,sir." Adding that last part always felt heavy on my tongue."Schedule my fitting for Friday afternoon,pick up my dry cleaning this evening at exactly five, reschedule the meeti
DesdemonaI shut my eyes tightly,my hands remained clasped as I murmered my third Hail Mary. That was followed by a direct statement of my prayer.Prayer works. It always does. I let out a low breathe and flutter my eyes open.Prayer always works,except for this time and the other time.The results slapped me on the face for being reckless.I stared at the kit in my hand. It stared back.Positive. It's the fourth one this week and it still reads positive.I had plans on taking seven tests just to confirm but I think I have had enough proof to know I am pregnant. I drop my body to the floor and bring my knees to my chest, hugging them.If only I had stayed at the countryside then this would have never happened. A night with my boss would have never occured and his seed would not be growing inside of me.A knock comes. "Princess,your phone." I groan and hide the kit behind my back. "Come in,mother."I had zero energy to argue about the name at the moment."Hello." I pick up without ch
EttieneShe 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
DesdemonaHe abused his power by commanding me to accompany him to his date. I sat next to him across from Myra who did not appreciate my presence.Of all the places to take your first date,he chose a club. Myra did not seem bothered by his choice so I guess I should not dwell on it.But seriously if you are taking a woman on a date then you should do something pleasant,a restaurant for example. Like they do in the movies."What do you do?" I ask her when Etienne looked like he had no intention of starting a conversation."I'm a model."I waited for more but she was done. Just that?"Is it enough? I mean,to pay the bills and all that."She chuckled and focused on Ettiene. "Where did you get her? She is so not your class." Etienne stopped swirling his drink and lifted his head."Say it again." His voice was the She covered her mouth and chuckled. When his gaze did not fall,she dropped her hand and took a sip of her drink.This is going to be a long night. I choose to occupy my mind w
