/Esme/

I stared at him. Words didn’t come. Not right away.

I wanted to scream. To hit him again. To grab him and beg him to make sense. But I just stood there mouth half open heart kicking against my ribs like it was trying to escape.

Sure, I was certain about who I wanted. But that didn’t give him the right to speak of Dave like that. I thought the relationship between them was good until I came into the picture.

“You followed your own son?” I finally asked but it came out barely above a whisper.

Gerald didn’t flinch. He just looked at me with that same haunted face he always wore when something ugly was about to surface.

“He’s not my son,” he said.

That broke something in my head. I blinked. “What?” Why was he telling me that and how come am just finding out after five years with Dave….?

“I raised him yes. I married his mother and gave him my name. But he’s not mine, Esme.”

Everything in my body stilled, like my bones were listening more than my ears.

    "You're getting married to the wealthy Smith's family and you won't have to stress yourself to earn money anymore." her mother said trying to give reasons." But i have a good job and I'm not even complaining about funds..." she paused trying to suck in her congestion.Her mother hesitated."Princess, they want a virgin for their son and they are willing to pay handsomely for any lady that meets up with their expectations." Mrs. Claire said hitting the hammer by the head, almost ashamed.Leah's world stopped spinning for some minutes."Wait... you're exchanging my virginity for money?" She asked, stunned.We're in debt, honey. We're already close to the deadline, and your marriage to Nathan is the only option to pay it off." Mrs. Claire said in a bold tone, her tone no longer soft or pleading. She was trying to make her see reasons for their behavior."Mum, we can sell all we've got." she argued, her voice cracking. "Or I can give up all my savings, or take a second job, anything! to

    The morning sunlight spilled through the curtains, casting soft stripes across the floor. Esme sat upright on the couch, awake long before her friends began to stir. May was curled up on the rug under a blanket. Liam snored softly beside an empty pizza box. Everything was quiet now the chaos had passed. But in Esme’s chest, something still trembled.Her phone was still in her hand.She hadn’t slept much. That voice note the sound of Dave cracking, Gerald’s smug cruelty it had looped in her head all night. She’d played it once more around 3 a.m., just to be sure she hadn’t imagined it. But she hadn’t. It was real.The messages from Gerald still sat in her inbox. Some sweet. Some seductive. Some twisted enough to make her question her own sanity. Lies, all of them. Pretty words meant to confuse. Esme deleted them all.Then she stood.No makeup. No drama. Just jeans, a clean black tee, and the ache of everything she’d survived.She showered slowly, like she was washing him off. Then she

    The whole apartment felt too quiet. Too still. And Esme felt so alone, she was used to being alone since she lose her parents years ago but Dave’s presence made it all feel better but now that it was obviously over between them she was all alone again in the world.She curled tighter into herself on the couch with her legs drawn up under an oversized sweater. The only light came from her phone screen, still glowing in her hand. Her eyes were red. She had cried until she couldn’t anymore. Her skin felt too tight, her chest sore from how many times she’d told herself she’d imagined everything. She text her friends to check if any of them could come over but before she could get a respond a text or rather a voice note entered her phone. A voice note from Dave.She almost skipped it. What was the point? But something… something in her gut made her thumb press down.It played.“You really told her you’re not my father… just to sleep with her?”That was Dave. Furious, but trying to hold hi

    On getting back home Dave didn’t even bother to knock his father’s office door, his anger was driving him to the edge…. His body just moved like his bones still remembered what this house meant before everything went to hell yesterday. The lights were on. The kitchen light glowed like some illusion of normal. And there he was his amazing father who just denied his own son for a pussy like what the actual fuck man. He was rinsing out a glass like this was just another Tuesday. So calm. Always so fucking calm which now annoyed the shit out of Dave. He stood in the doorway, pulse pounding. His voice was low when he asked, “Did you really tell her you’re not my father?” No greeting…. No warmth, Just the question because all he needed was answers at this rate. Gerald didn’t even flinch. He turned the glass under the faucet and said mildly, “you are finally home son.” He stated not asking. Dave stepped forward, jaw tight. “Don’t dodge it. Just answer me. Did you say that?” Ge

    /Esme/The sound of water still poured behind me but it was colder now. Almost cruel.Gerald was asleep slumped against the shower wall the steam long gone. His face was peaceful, like the mess he’d left in my chest didn’t exist.I stood there for a second soaked and trembling, but not from the cold.Then I moved quietly and carefully.I peeled on my clothes still wet from earlier and didn’t bother with my shoes. My fingers were shaking as I pulled the door open.I left no note no goodbye I didn’t glance back. I Just escaped.The night was too still when I came out, it wasn’t long ago I woke up and it wasn’t already dark. Today was supposed to be my first day at work and I didn’t have an opportunity with all the mess that happened today. Leaving this mansion, I already know I don’t have any plans coming back here or working with either the father and son.By the time I reached my apartment, the city had started to blur into that eerie kind of silence that presses against your skin.
