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

Luke. Making love to Tia felt better each time. It was no joke, but my body craved hers all the time. I had to have her that morning, and I did. I noticed she wasn't so vocal in bed, so I decided I would try to make her speak up more so she could enjoy it just as much as I was enjoying it. Breakfas
"Well, that is my answer," I said and was about to turn to leave when she called back. "Please, Luke. I really need this money," She said, sounding desperate.
