Because of love, Sasha was willing to engage in a clandestine relationship with her friend's father, Vincent. Vincent justified it by claiming that his wife was having an affair, so he needed a companion. However, one day Sasha discovered that Vincent's wife's lover was her own father. Confused, Sasha found out that Vincent had only used her as a bed-warmer doll to seek revenge on her father. Sasha decided to leave Vincent. However, her friend wouldn't let her go peacefully and continued to harass her. The situation worsened when Sasha found out she was pregnant. Eventually, she made the decision to disappear forever, leaving behind her bitter past. Unfortunately, several years later, when she had built a good life with her son, Vincent came back into her life. She exclaimed, "Don't touch my son! You never even wanted him, did you?"

His eyes looked at me with disdain. "And because you're in my hotel, I'll never conduct any of this professionally," Uncle Vincent said as he raised his feet onto the table, then spun his chair around. "I would never be professional when dealing with you."I shook my head in disbelief at his cruel words. Why couldn't this guy just leave me alone?"Think about it, why do you think I bought this lousy hotel?" he asked again. "Because I saw a picture of you … working here as a maid!"Uncle Vincent handed me some documents on the table. Photos of the hotel's general appearance are meant for potential buyers. Oh my god! I had to decline when the previous owner asked me to be a model for the housekeeping department.Ah, because of that little thing, I ended up in this mess. Good deeds don't always yield sweet re
The next day, I still went to the hotel because no replacement staff was available. I felt lazy, but I also felt sorry for Mr. Rey.Since I couldn't just leave, I tried my best to avoid running into Uncle Vincent all day so I could work normally. At the very least, I wanted to pretend that he had never been to the Safari Hotel and disturbed my peaceful life.But it was all in vain. My mind couldn't shake off the memories of our encounter and our argument yesterday. It was all a mess.After work, I quickly picked up Noah. I felt anything but calm. I felt like I was being watched. I didn't know by whom."Noah, promise me you won't go anywhere with strangers, okay?" I said while carrying Noah so we could return to our rented place quickly. "Lately, there have been a lot of bad people around.""What are they doing, Mom? Eating kids?" my son asked innocently."No, but they like to kidnap children and take them away from their moms!" I replied convincingly so that Noah would believe it and
I entered Mr. Rey's car awkwardly. It was supposed to be a special evening, and I felt like I was being treated like a princess. Mr. Rey was a true gentleman, even opening the car door for me. I felt guilty for forcing a smile and whispering a thank you. Throughout the journey, it was only Mr. Rey who spoke. It turned out that Rachel couldn't meet Noah because she wanted to stay over at her friend's house. Mr. Rey promised to bring Noah to their house another time to introduce him to Rachel. Once again, I just nodded, as my mind wasn't really there. How could I not be in turmoil? I still didn't feel at ease after Ms. Donna's arrival earlier. Did that guy still think I was his toy? Would I have to obey him again? "Sha, you've been quiet the whole time, don't you like Vino's work?" Mr. Rey asked. In an instant, he took out his phone. I instinctively grabbed the phone without thinking. "Please, don't, Mr. Rey! I love Vino's makeup! It's great! Don't badmouth Vino's beauty salon on soc
"Mom!" Noah ran towards me with excitement. "Yay! I got picked up in the afternoon."I kissed my son's forehead and said, "Say hi to Mr. Rey!""Uncle Rey!" Mr. Rey corrected."But it doesn't feel right to call you Uncle! It's too friendly," I objected."Well, what should he call me then? Dad?" teased Mr. Rey with a laugh."Please, not that, Uncle! I already have my own Dad. He is working overseas," Noah quickly replied.Mr. Rey and I fell silent, exchanging glances. I lowered my head, caught in my lie to Noah."Noah, today you'll be at Uncle's house, okay? Mom is going to a party at the hotel.""Working again?" Noah asked disappointedly."Yes, something like that. Noah, you'll have fun at Uncle's house. There are lots of toys there!"Mr. Rey continued to assure my son until Noah gave in. He was happy because he was promised lots of toys.However, on the way, I was shocked to the core when Mr. Rey brought me to a beauty salon. "Sir, why are we here?""You're coming to the party tonight
VINCENTI saw my Sasha getting into a car with a man. Damn! Did she leave me for a new boyfriend? A younger guy?"Who's that man?" I asked Donna, the assistant who was helping me familiarize myself with the hotel. She was also helping me secretly select candidates for the new hotel's GM position."He's Reynald Adams, sir! Division room manager, a candidate for GM with the best performance," Donna replied in a professional tone.Damn. So, he's the top GM candidate?"He's hitting on a staff member? Is he the best … what?" I asked irritably. I really disliked workplace romances. It reminded me of Freya's affair with Sasha’s father."Rey doesn't have any bad record like that, sir!" Donna defended. She looked at her iPad and added, "He... is the best employee here. All housekeeping issues have been resolved since he joined."I nodded. I really didn't want to argue with Donna. I would find out for myself later."Oh, and also! Get me a dress that fits this size," I ordered Donna, handing her
"Sir, I'm sorry. This is my resignation letter." I handed the resignation letter to Mr. Rey, the division manager.I moistened my lips with my tongue, but they still felt dry. I felt uneasy about this sudden decision. Mr. Rey also seemed displeased because I was resigning abruptly."Why so sudden, Sha? Did a guest bother you again?" he asked with concern. I had been asked quite openly to date male guests with unclear intentions a few times, probably because my appearance was still attractive despite having a child."No, sir!" I answered bitterly. But it was almost like that incident. What's the difference between being asked to be a paid companion and being asked to be Uncle's sex toy again?"Then what? Because of the change in ownership? Have you found a job elsewhere?" Mr. Rey became more curious."No, sir! It's just that I have family matters that require me to move to another city," I half-lied. But, in fact, it wasn't a lie, right? I had to leave Uncle Vincent for the happiness o
I turned my face away with disgust. "And why didn't I disappear after everyone treated me like trash, Uncle?" I retorted harshly. He didn't know that I overheard his conversation with Tara. "Of course, all of this couldn't have happened without Tara's involvement, your beloved daughter."Uncle Vincent fell silent, looking at me coldly. I saw his Adam's apple bobbing up and down as he swallowed, or maybe the drink."You can come back to me, Sha! You know I'll protect you," Uncle Vincent argued.I laughed, bursting into laughter while holding back the pain in my chest. "Protect me, you said, Uncle? How impressive!"Uncle Vincent frowned. "What's so funny, Sha?" he asked, seeming offended by my attitude."Don't pretend to care about me! I know what you've been hiding all this time," I accused him with hatred. Now, I don't care about anything anymore. Better to be honest than continue playing cat and mouse with this old wreck."I'm not hiding anything from you, Sha," Uncle Vincent retorte
Was it for real? This man again? My eyes wanted to close. But I couldn't, I was too shocked. The person I least expected, the one I despise the most, is now in front of me. God! No. He's here. One inch away from where I stand."Uncle … Vincent?" I asked, astonished. It felt unbelievable that I would meet the man who had destroyed my life once again, in this city, where he shouldn't be.Oh God! Was I not running far enough? Why did you have to bring back this nightmare in front of me?My legs suddenly felt weak as if they had no bones. If Uncle Vincent didn't support my weight with his muscular, strong arms, I would have collapsed to the floor. Nevertheless, falling on the floor would be better than being in his grasp again. Every inch of his skin made me shiver, reminding me of the sinful past I had with him in the name of love.I gazed at the face I had left years ago. Still the same, still handsome, as if he hadn't aged at all. His body remained muscular, without any excess fat. Wi
"Who said that to you, baby?" I asked angrily. How could they dare to meddle in other people's affairs?"Nania said that to me. She said her mommy told her that I am a bastard. According to Adam, 'bastard' means a pig. So I was called a pig by my friends," Noah said tearfully. His eyes radiated fear and sadness, making me feel pity for him.Unbelievable! What kind of parents would let their child hear such hurtful words? How could they teach innocent children to gossip, as if the gossipers would end up in heaven?I cursed them in my head, trying to keep my composure in front of my dear son.I brought my hand to him, pulling my little boy into an embrace. My heart felt heavy, but I knew I couldn't allow myself to be too sad as it would only further distress Noah.As a mother, I had to encourage him. Our life was perfect. He was perfect, even without a father by his side. He didn’t need a father.I pecked his forehead and looked directly into his eyes. "Noah, you are my child, and I lov
