Chapter 1
Charlotte drove into the parking garage of her office building with a smile on her face. It had not been officially announced yet, but she had a hunch that today she was going to get the promotion she had always dreamed of - being Editor-In-Chief at Kerrington Publishers. The beat-up Toyota Camry she had inherited from her mother spurt out exhaustion fumes as she came to a stop, but this time, unlike all the other times it had done this, she did not grind her teeth in frustration. Nothing was going to get her moods down today. If all went as well as she had imagined, she was going to have a more prestigious job, with a hell lot more money. God knows she had worked hard enough to deserve a better lifestyle. She stepped out of the car, her black sandal heels hitting the ground first, and then her hour-glass figure which fit perfectly in the red pencil dress that she bought specifically for this occasion, emerged. Charlotte knew she looked stunning enough to turn a few heads, and her

Chapter 2
It had been two months since the closure of Kerrington Publishers Company. I woke up, almost kicking my laptop off the bed. My days had been filled with sending job applications to different publishing companies, but to no avail. For some unexplainable reason, my heart was beating so fast as if I had just finished a marathon. The only marathon I was doing was editing my cover letters, which would lead me to run all through the night to early mornings. I tried slowing down my breathing, and when I was calmer, I steadied myself on the edge of the bed and turned to look at the other side of the bed. Terrence was missing. I propped myself up and took steady steps to the bathroom which was dry and empty. Looking at the alarm clock that seemed desolate on the bedside drawer, I noticed that it was ten minutes to noon. Surely, I had slept all morning, and it made sense why Terrence would be missing as he had an important meeting today morning. Dancing to the small breeze on the bedside table

Chapter 3
I could hear Aunt May talking but my head was in a whole other space. After Kerrington’s call, I spent most of the time searching online for cheap accommodation in New York, but apparently, the cheapest room cost the equivalent of the total money I had in my bank account at the moment. This meant that I would have catered for my living expenses without considering transport and food. If only I could… As much as I tried pleading with the hoteliers on call, there was no other option for me but the very one that I was trying to avoid. Which led me to Aunt May’s house. *** Aunt May, Lucas’s grandmother, had taken care of him since he was a child. After his parents separated, the child custody appeal had been finalized granting Aunt May full custody of Lucas until he was sixteen. This protected him from his professional drunk of a father and his poor mother, who then ran off to New York to get a job, promising to come back for Lucas. Twenty-four years ago, when they moved down the st

Chapter 4
The party had just started. Women of all races, sizes, and shapes had gathered in Lucas Benjamin’s grand house, ready to partake in the greatest indulgence of their lifetime. They were all dressed to kill in flimsy fancy dresses that distinguished them as ladies while at the same time showcasing their wild nature. The men were not as distinguishably dressed, though they still looked good in their mostly black and grey suits. Only one man ever stood out in such crowds really- the owner of the party, the house, and the hearts of most of the women in the room - Lucas Benjamin. Even if one had never laid eyes on Lucas, it was easy to know who he was the moment he entered a room. His stature, and the way he carried himself, were a statement by themselves. He was standing by his grand staircase, looking poised in his navy green Dolce and Gabbana suit, his black Gucci shoes, the thousand-dollar Rolex draped graciously on his left wrist, and the diamond chain on his neck. He was the defin

Chapter 5
The sex was great, as it often was. But still, when both women were exhausted and deep in their sleep, I found myself wide awake, staring at the ceiling. During such moments, I wondered if there was more to life than this. I loved great parties. I loved having great sex. But I craved something more. I am not sure of love, as romantic love sounds too complicated, and the only complicated things I loved were profitable for me. I am not sure if I am up for complications that do not make me richer. Moreso, I have never had any love that was not from Aunt May. And her. She was my friend, my companion. I could have meaningful conversations with her. I could lie with her and feel safe, feel seen, feel at home. I want her. The self-confession brought shudders down my naked body. The thoughts of her made me feel more awake than I was before. Knowing that she had always been the woman for me, and admitting it to myself, drained all the alcohol out of my system, and brought excitement t

Chapter 6
I was not myself for a long while. My mind was in a disarray and my whole body was one second away from exploding from excitement. I tried gulping down various drinks that usually calmed me – Remy Martini and the likes – but today, it seemed the alcohol percentage in this one bottle was less than the usual 40%. I even tried my Cuban cigars which I had received from Mark last year, but those too seemed ineffective today. Giving up in frustration, I took the elevator to the rooftop and got inside my heated pool, hoping to feel much more relaxed than I did. Since the phone call with Aunt May that afternoon, my organs seemed to be performing their functions at faster paces than normal. If this happened without reason, I would have had my house manager phone my doctor and term it a fatal emergency. But today, there was the reason. And the reason was Charlotte Manning. I did not like this kind of anxiety. It was Lucas Benjamin. I was always in control. I was aware of things before th

Chapter 7
As I swam across one end to the other, the feeling of dejection swept over me like it had as I packed up all my belongings inside the two suitcases I had then. The fear of the unknown crept on me as I thought of what my life was to become, living with a total stranger, in an even stranger city. As I carefully removed the Matrix poster from my wall, I heard some light shuffling behind me. From the corner of my eye, I could sketch out Charlotte Manning’s figure. Instantly, I turned back, and there she was. Leaning on the doorframe, hands holding each other as if in an attempt to hide the trembling. She still had tears in her eyes, which made me stay rooted on the tile I stood upon, weak. Her tears were my weakness, and the thought that I was the cause of her pain drew out all the strength I had left. Why Lucas? I questioned myself. Why did I have to break her heart? *** “Charlotte, I am leaving for New York!” he had said in such a blank voice as if he was merely asking me for a d

Chapter 8
I ran down the stairs to the front parking, smiling broadly at the thought of seeing her in less than an hour. I chose to go with the black Mercedes Benz as I figured it was well deserving for the editor-in-chief’s arrival, but also not too flashy to attract unnecessary attention along the streets of New York. Hardly had I opened the car door when I heard Jacque’s stern voice behind me. “Excuse me Monsieur,” “Yes?” “There is someone on the phone for you” “Hello?” “Hi, Lucas honey!” The enthusiasm on the other end was too much to bear for a sober mind. “Vivian?” I could feel all the blood draining from my face. “Yes, honey. The one and only. Did you miss me, my love?” she answered with a small whine in her voice. “Why are you calling me at this hour?” Laughs. “Oh, I am back in town and I just wanted to let you know that I am heading to the house in a few.” “Which house?” “Your house, of course, silly!” she said between laughs as if it was obvious to me. Normally, I would

Chapter 9
I had already packed all my clothes and the essential items I needed for the trip and hence did not linger inside the house much longer. Aunt May had been gracious enough to pray for my journey mercies, and seeing no need to remind the Heavens to bless me again, I carried my luggage to the living room where Terrence was finishing up with his Zoom meeting. I was filled with a spur of emotions, both good and bad. The bad mostly included leaving Terrence behind, even though it was just for three days. Knowing him for a long time, he would have packed his own suitcase and flown to New York with me, but his schedule was overly booked, which made him quite sad too. “I will miss you, babe, terribly!” He said as he rose up from the couch and walked towards me. “I will undeniably miss you too,” I said, pulling him close to me for a kiss. I loved Terrence. When we first met, none of us thought that we would make it three years together. He had been a pain in my ass during our first few encou

Chapter 10
I kept scrolling down my I***a in an attempt to find anything new about him that I had missed before. I did not wish to have a strange reconnection with him, and apart from all the gossip that tends to follow him, there was not much online to show what he was really like. Business, business, travel, girls, lots of girls…and more business. Lucas seemed to be living the true Gatsby lifestyle that he had always dreamed of since his childhood. After an hour of scrolling through social media and news, I opened my chat with Aunt May and stared at the number she had sent me to reach Lucas on my arrival. I had had this number a few months after he left Atlanta, and I had wanted to reach out to him for days, which turned to months, which turned to years. Ten years. I still felt betrayed by him, and as much as I loved him, I could not get over the fact that he had chosen to keep his move a secret from me. Moreso, I could not help but console myself that he also had the chance to reach out to
