Susan

It felt surreal.

“With a unanimous vote, you are hereby appointed president of the Cuban Group.”

Even the applause that erupted around the board felt unreal. The sight of Mark seated at my right, clapping hard to cheer me, felt unreal as well.

I had gone from an ordinary college graduate with a toxic mother to the president of one of the largest cooperatives in the entire world.

I cleared my throat as the applause died down.

“Thank you,” I said, bowing my head a little bit.

    Mark “Thank you for agreeing to walk Susan down the aisle,” I said to my mother who adjusted my bow tie for me. “Of course!” she replied, “it's only right.” She stood back as though to admire her creation. “I'm really proud of you, son,” she said, her eyes filled with tears, “I used to worry you won't get married until I was decaying in my grave.” “Mom! Why would you say such a thing? And you shouldn't cry, you'll ruin your makeup.” She sniffled and dabbed her eyes with a napkin. “Don't mess this up, Mark,” her voice was serious, “I know you're a playboy, but don't…” “I won't,” I said to her, “I promise.” She looked worried still, “and you're still sure you do not wish to know who your biological…” I cut her off before she could complete the sentence, “Richard will always be my father. I do not wish to know the man who donated his sperm to make that happen.” My mother punched my arm. “Ouch!” I winced. “Saying things like that makes it easy for people to gossip about us,”

    Susan It felt surreal. “With a unanimous vote, you are hereby appointed president of the Cuban Group.” Even the applause that erupted around the board felt unreal. The sight of Mark seated at my right, clapping hard to cheer me, felt unreal as well. I had gone from an ordinary college graduate with a toxic mother to the president of one of the largest cooperatives in the entire world. I cleared my throat as the applause died down. “Thank you,” I said, bowing my head a little bit. “It has been an honour to serve on this esteemed board these past few months. You have made room for me even when I knew absolutely nothing. Thank you for your unwavering support.” Another warm applause followed, and I proceeded to sit down for the first time at the head of the table—a table where the father I had never met growing up had left for me. **** “You know,” Mark said as we walked along the shoreline at the beach, “it's been exactly a year since you stumbled into my life demanding that you

  • SLEEPING WITH MY DADDY’S DAUGHTER    CHAPTER 28

    Mark I was seated in my office going over the fiscal budget when my secretary informed me there was someone without an appointment requesting to see me. “Did this person give a name?” I asked my secretary. She looked at me with an expression that told me this was not a welcome guest. “She said her name is Susan Rivers? The lady who has been harassing you for…” “Please send her in,” I said to my secretary. My excitement at the sound of her name made my secretary confused. Just a week ago I would have gone wild if I were told Susan was within the company's premises. So I understood why my excitement looked unnatural to her. I tried to switch to a poker face, but it was too late. “Send her in,” I repeated to my stunned secretary. Susan walked in mere seconds after that looking elegant and beautiful. I enjoyed watching her walk. Her steps were graceful and yet commanding at the same time. “Have you watched the news?” she asked anxiously as she sat across from me. I stood up and

  • SLEEPING WITH MY DADDY’S DAUGHTER    CHAPTER 27

    Susan The woman I had known all my life as Eleanor Rivers was seated across from me, a clear glass dividing us. She picked up the phone on her end and I did the same. “Did you really do it?” I asked her despite the overwhelming evidence I faced. Still, I wanted to hear it from her. “Did you kill my mother?” I asked her. She laughed, a throaty wicked laughter like she did not care what I thought of her. “Does it make you happy that I'm behind bars?” she asked me, “you finally got what you wanted, didn't you?” “You think this makes me happy?” I asked bitterly. “Then why did you have me arrested?” she asked me, “You did not have to report me to the cops.”I had always wondered while growing up how she had been able to afford to buy all those drugs she was addicted to and I knew the answer now. She had gotten that money by extorting Mark's mother. She had collected so much from the woman that it would have been more than enough to provide us a comfortable life, and yet she chose t

    Mark “What is this place?” Susan asked me as we walked into the private study that stood by itself in my father's old house. I used to come here when I was a lot younger to play with my father or whoever I thought was my father. He would put me in a corner after hours of running around his large study and place a book in front of me. “You are what you read, son,” he would look at me, his eyes filled with love, “and if you read nothing, you will become nothing.” That had made no sense to my eight-year-old self. I turned on the switch and the light flooded the dusty room. It was a large study that doubled as my father's private study and library. “My father… I mean Richard used to spend a lot of time here reading and working,” I said, “if we are looking for answers about our past, I believe this would be the place to search.” Susan had a pensive look on her face. “What more do you think we'll find?” she asked, looking around, “and what does it change?” I knew what it would chang

  • SLEEPING WITH MY DADDY’S DAUGHTER    CHAPTER 25

    Susan I felt like my world was falling into a million pieces right before my eyes. My vision blurred as I looked at the DNA result in my hands. It couldn't be, could it? The woman I believed all my life to be my mother was not my mother? Who was I then? Who was I?“Is it that shocking?” the lady who had handed the result to me asked. I looked at her but my vision remained blurry. I rubbed my eyes and said, “This… It may be wrong, yes?” The woman had a smile on her lips. She had definitely been asked this question so many times. “The result is conclusive,” she said, “it is not wrong.” “But… but there can be an error…” “You can request to have another test done,” she said kindly, “but I know another test will not change the result.” I nodded and walked out of the testing centre in a daze, my mind filled with conflicting emotions as I continued to stare at the result. I continued walking, almost absentmindedly, and ran into a warm wall. I knew I had hit someone, so I bowed and t
