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

"Aunty Ummul said you pressured my mother for a child, and she gave in finally," I said, and he shook his head. "That woman was a bitch! I never pressured Chloe for anything. She would always remember things the way she wanted. Chloe was the one that suggested we get a surrogate; she was the one th
"You can't do that!' she yelled. "I can, and I am doing it as we speak. Also, I will no longer be responsible for the two of you. I will not pay the right-wing staff, so I advise you to hold on to the staff you can afford!" I said, and she looked at my father, hoping he would speak. Even if he did,
