EPISODE 9: SCANDALThe following week, at the start of my morning routine, Christopher always prepares tea for everyone. I anticipated having it, just to hear that he had gone to Lisa's house because she needed something with the plumbing. Mom told me that when she did, I saw her grinning so suspiciously that anyone who noticed that would immediately figure out that the reason why Christopher had gone wasn't to help in fixing up Lisa's plumbing issues; in other words, Mom wanted to fix up her son back with his ex-girlfriend.And when she told me, I laughed and went in to prepare the tea myself.Afterward, I went to the office.I walk past my boss's office; he sees me and then decides to call me back."Nina! Please come". He said, I heard him loud and clear. I turned around and walked into his office; his door was slightly closed."Sir, good morning. What can I do for you?". I first greeted him before responding further with the question."Nina, I want to ask you about something import
EPISODE 10: TWO NIGHT WITH YOU.Are you hungry?'.After having long sex with Christopher, he wore his back his boxers and walked into the kitchen. "Wait! Didn't we just have sex?".I rose to leave, but couldn't because I was completely naked.He came and gave me a bottle of water to drink."Hey! You should be thirsty, right?". He fed me with his hands."Hmm! You're acting strange?".He cleaned my mouth and asked. "Oh! You don't want this?" Christopher pulled back and questioned.Of course, I wanted this and everything more, it's just too soon that it came faster than I expected. Christopher took my silence to be a yes, he went back to the kitchen, I finished drinking and I dropped the glass on the table.I came down from the couch naked and walked into the kitchen."Done?" Christopher took the glass from me and went to keep it.I turned back to leave when his phone rang, I looked and Lisa was calling him."Who called?". He turned over, after keeping the glass in the cabinet, and
EPISODE 11: NOT A CHANCE.After we finished watching the movie, Christopher and I went to get some groceries from the store, it was a few distance away from the Lake House.He asked me to go forward, next to the can of drinks, and pick out a crate of eggs and bring it to him as he was going to fetch other times.I took the crate of eggs, I met him going toward the vegetable area and that place is usually crowded by customers.I tried not to bump into anyone because there was not enough leg space.But through my resistance, I managed to move past the customers and didn't even break the eggs."Hey! I got them!" I put the eggs into his shopping cart."Thanks, baby," he grinned at me goes ahead to pick other things we needed.Thereafter, he paid with his credit card and the both of us left, we took a cab home, and just the second we both stepped out of the car, we met with Lisa, sitting on the porch..."What the fuck is she doing here?". I said and stood confident to her sitting on the p
EPISODE 12: PROMISE MEChristopher drove me to the office, he was willing to pick me up afterward, however, I didn't want him to always try to assist me, people might begin to suspect, although I didn't quite tell him the real reason, I made up an excuse and he immediately understood..At the office Talia came to my desk and she left some documents. She wanted me to go through them before the big meeting this afternoon. This is usually the duty of a lot of other interns but since my boss knew who I was, he had this sudden trust in me...I was at my desk when I got a call from mom. She calls whenever she wants me to get her something from the supermarket or if there's a family function at home and she wants me to attend.I answered her phone call,she informed me about the meeting tonight, and would want me to come back home early. I promised her I would, deep down I knew the reason why she had asked for a meeting.I went through the documents and brought them to Talia 's table."Here y
EPISODE 13: I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER.My reaction to Lisa's question caused her to yell in shock. She was stunned by the truth I unintentionally presented to her. I may not have said anything, but the expression on my face gave it all away."Wow! This is unbelievable". She says in such a demining voice."What do you mean?". Christopher, pulled me behind and confronted her."Excuse me? Do you not think you're doing an abomination?". She tilted her head away from him, and enough to look at my face.."I don't care, please remember, Nina and I aren't blood related". Christopher clarified to her.."Blood related? " She giggled at him, " what does that even mean, do you not know your parents adopted Nina as your sister, of course You're doing a bad thing,". She spat disgustedly on the ground .I knew if anyone else finds out about my relationship with Christopher, they literally won't understand, now that Lisa knows, what's she going to do with the information?..Lisa leaves Christop
EPISODE 14: JUST IN CASE IT HAPPENS.After my conversation with Dad, I felt a sign of relief, it was as if he had just me a ray of hope, maybe Christian and I shouldn't hide anymore, but it was one thing to hope and another thing to actually make people understand the kind of relationship I have with my foster brother."Nina! Where are you going?". On my way to Christian, I bumped into Mom, she was on her way up to her bedroom with the folded laundry in the basket."I'm sorry, I had an emergency". I replied."Emergency? What do you have to tell Christian that you have to run in this manner?". She questioned me.There was no way in hell I'd open my mouth to tell her the truth, even though I don't feel at ease lying to her face, between my two foster parents, Mom is way stubborn and might understand the truth and not her."Is everything okay?"...Christian, whom I was hurrying to meet, came out of his room, he carried a basket of his dirty clothes and smiled at Mom and me."Good, Nina
EPISODE 15 : ENGAGEMENT PARTY Christian and John conversation were mostly about sports, they both share the same likeness toward soccer and were in the same club.I was beginning to get tired of sitting at the table and listening to them, and so, I excused myself and left for the pool lounge. I saw some girls sitting at a round table with bottles of alcohol on their table, I went there with the approach of making new friends, the eyes of their leader turned, she grinned and then offered me a chair..I sat down and they passed a bottle of alcohol to me ."I know you?" The girl who sat beside me said.."Oh! Where?". I opened the bottle of beer and asked her. She squinted her eyes, trying to remember where. And after some minutes, her fingers snapped and she addressed me a Christian foster sister..."You're the foster daughter to Lakewood right; Christians sister?". She said..I confirmed to her by smiling..All of a sudden, they wanted to see Christian. I had told them he was at the r
EPISODE 1: A TALE FROM THE PAST.It had been two weeks since they gave me the most shocking news of my life. The two people, whom I had loved my entire life, had just told me that I wasn't their biological daughter, and they adopted me from an orphanage in a small town. It felt like I had lost my sense of being. Who was I, and where exactly did I come from? Who are even parents? Those were what paraded through my mind until I chose to accept the truth. I was taken care of and loved by Mr. Kent and Gracie.I may not share the same blood as her and her husband, but with their son, they've never treated me less than a human being.Christopher White. My handsome stepbrother. Christopher, when I came, was resentful towards me; he didn't want to accept that his loving parents had adopted a girl, a teenager, who had almost become a woman.His resentful pattern—I, myself, wasn't that innocent; I never liked my foster brother, and our hateful nature toward each other slowly turned into love.
