LOGINGrand aunty Ummul passed away a year ago, and we still miss her, especially Emma and Chloe. We had learned sign language because of her. We did not mourn too much because we knew she had gone to rest. Luke was glad we could care for her a little longer before she died. Aunty Amira was married with c
"You missed breakfast," Luke said, and she looked away. I noticed a hickey on her neck. She saw that I noticed and tried to cover it. "Come on, Luke, Aunty Amirah can come for breakfast whenever," I told him, and she smiled at me. Not wanting him to say anything else, I urged him to move on. "I ho
Tia SIX MONTHS LATER Luke and I woke up late, so we had to rush to prepare for breakfast. Chloe and James were peaceful babies, and even though they had nannies, we checked on them at night to ensure they were alright. They were a blessing. Paul was growing well too. Doctor Khalifa had said his he

"If you had this much bottled up, why didn't you ever say anything?" he asked me, and I sighed. "You never listen, father. I also know you handed the company over to me because you had no choice. She changed everything to my name. I went through the documents. You couldn't gift the company to Caleb
Alpha Aesop called everyone's attention to break the news. "Recent developments have forced me to review certain things," he said and adjusted himself on his seat. I hated this part of my mornings when I had to come here and sit through their family bullshit. It was more formal than an actual famil
Tia. I woke up in the morning and did not know how to face Luke. I know he saw me; although he did not say a word about it, the look of amusement in his eyes proved he saw me. As long as he did not bring it up I could pretend he did not see anything. I had honestly thought he was with his girlfrien
