After what was a long and tense drive back, I was so happy when we finally arrived at my apartment complex past midnight.
I was now free from the awkward atmosphere between Mr. Beckett and I, yes, I have reverted to calling him Mr. Beckett because I wanted to draw a line between us.
I rushed back home happy, happy to see Miles. We needed this, the whole open relationship thing, because it had opened our hearts so much.
He was able to be the man that I fell in love with. We spoke like we used to. He often called when missing me. He was my Miles again, the one I have built so much with over the years.
But something stopped me in my tracks the moment I reached my apartment: voices, moans of pleasure and Miles’ voice.
He had brought a girl back to our home, he had betrayed our rules. Worse, he had cheated again, because we clearly agreed on this being an exclusive relationship again.
When I had geared myself to confront him, the lady&rsquo

It was a few minutes later that Brian finally saw I was crying, then he rushed to my side, “Sweetheart, are you okay?”It was disheartening to see Trisha tell me something about herself, about the money my parents worked really hard for and always use any chance she gets to criticize me.“Does Trisha know she is my cousin?”My father studied me for a while before chuckling, “Poor child, don’t stress yourself, kids shouldn’t involve themselves. That is your friend. She has helped you greatly. Do not fight because of her father’s mistakes.”But how can I just look at her father’s actions because they greatly impacted my future and contributed greatly to her success.She was going to clubs eating takeouts while I prayed for my parents to have enough money for fees.It took a while to calm me down. This whole situation was like a bucket of cold water. I had always envied Trisha, because
We arrived at my parents’ place first, who were ecstatic to see us. I hadn’t seen them in a long time.“You should have told us you were coming soon,” my mother said, “I would have made a feast to welcome you.”My mother and father were business owners at their time. They owned a small shop, and it was doing very well.I always craved my mother and father’s warmth, because after they lost everything when I was still little, they buried themselves in work.They only worried about our future, neglecting me and Dani. As a result, the hard labor took a toll on them. They looked way too old for their age.“Mother,” I could feel tears well up. Brian asked to help me with my situation many times and I always refused to.It would have helped me greatly only if I hadn't been so prideful, so prideful to always think I would do this all on my own. I would rescue my family all on my own.&ldqu
It had been a week since Miles asked me to close things off, which made me very uneasy, because since then he had taken his time to be an involved boyfriend.And he chooses to bring me lunch every day, “Miles, I told you there was no need for this, I can just buy something.”He didn’t even listen to me, he just simply started unpacking his home-cooked meal on the table. “I made your favorite, I jotted the recipe down while Dani cooked last time.”Even before we opened up our relationship, he wasn’t like that. He was always affectionate only at home, or during intimacy.“You seem busy,” Brian’s annoyed voice rings from the door. He looks at the table and then at me, “romantic lunch?”“Yes, I have seen how unappreciative I was to my girlfriend, so I decided to be more romantic,” Miles says proudly.“Hmmmmm…….” Brian hums, “Next time yo
Daniela had been acting a bit distant since yesterday. Even when she was getting on the bus back to campus, she had a hard time hugging me.It worried me greatly that I must have done something to hurt her. Trisha kept insisting she would be fine, but that made me even more anxious.What if it was them who made her this distant? Her not telling me what had happened made me more anxious, because regardless of what it was, she would always tell me everything.So, I decided to get advice from someone who is not part of all this madness, my boss and lover, Brian.He listened to me, “Maybe we should have someone follow Miles, see what he might be hiding.”“The only thing I can think of is an open relationship. "Maybe Dani saw Miles with another girl and thought he was cheating.” I started to ponder whether it would make so much sense because, truthfully, it would spook her up if she found Miles was two-timing me.“Bu
Daniela was settling in well, with the peace of mind that mom and dad were taken care of by Brian, who, for some reason, had moved in with them to help with the move. We were able to lay back and have some sister time.She stayed home and made sure to cook all kinds of food I liked and, with her newfound allowance, she was able to buy all kinds of groceries for us.Trisha and Miles would always marvel at how great of a cook she was. Daniela was a star. From when she was young, everything she would do she did with a bang.She was school council president for her senior year and she made sure every student in her year finished high school with marks that were able to get them to any school of their choice.She entered a dance competition once to raise money for her university registration fee, and she won it effortlessly. I always say that she was a superstar, “I only shine bright because of you,” is what she always tells me.Soon it was
