Status Anxiety

Ich war mit Julian Krüger, dem Don der Mafia, seit sieben Jahren zusammen. An dem Tag, an dem wir gemeinsam das Brautkleid anprobieren wollten, machte ich mich voller Freude mit meiner Schwangerschaftsbescheinigung auf den Weg zum Brautladen. Doch dort hörte ich zufällig, wie er mit seinem Vertrauten sprach. „Die Heirat mit Nina Koch gestern war eine Notlösung. Mein Bruder starb bei einem Bandenkrieg. Sie trägt das einzige Kind der Familie Krüger. Ohne rechtmäßigen Status können sie in der Familie nicht überleben.“ „Alle würden sie schikanieren.“ Er hielt eine Zigarre zwischen den Fingern. Seine Stimme klang kalt, aber mit einem Hauch von Verzweiflung. „Alles außer dem Status kann ich Sophie Schulz geben – meine Liebe, mein Geld. Aber diese Sache darf sie niemals erfahren.“ Ich klammerte mich an die Bescheinigung, und mein Herz zerbrach. Ich ließ meine beste Freundin eine neue Identität für mich anmelden, damit Julian mich niemals finden würde. Wenn er mir und unserem Kind kein vollständiges Zuhause geben konnte, dann war es besser, diese Liebe, die ohnehin nur noch aus Pflichtgefühl und Lügen bestand, endgültig zu beenden.

BLURB "Boss, these are the pictures of the lady's face. It's a good thing the hotel's Surveillance camera captured her perfectly." Davis uttered as he placed the file containing the pictures in front of him. With a deep frown on his face, he picked up the file and carefully brought out the pictures. He gasped at the young lady with Grey eyes, plump lips, and platinum blonde hair. She's the epitome of beauty. "I need every information about her by tomorrow. " Tristan Zachary ordered with his voice as cold as ice. "Okay boss " Davis immediately exited out of the well-furnished office. The moment the office door was shut, Tristan stared into space lost in thought. #Flashback# Tristan groaned as he felt so much ache in his head. He managed to sit up on the hotel's bed while gazing around in awe. With the lingering feminine scent that hit his nose, and seeing he was stark naked, Realization struck him hard. He immediately knew a lady was on his bed last night. Due to his drunken state, he couldn't identify the mysterious lady's face. A lady that was an exception from other ladies, Tristan still finds it hard to believe he had gotten that close to a lady without feeling sick. He instantly wants to find the lady and confirm his fears. "Davis" Tristan calls out as the room door was instantly pushed open by his assistant. "Boss" Davis uttered with a bow of his head. "You saw a lady step out of this room right?" He couldn't help the anxiety in his voice. Davis knew his boss has a phobia for ladies, and was taken aback by his sudden outburst.

A girl's love so deep? It appeared it was true love at the beginning. She was determined to do everything possible to get what she wanted. Her friends ridiculed her. Society mocked her. But she did not give up. "True love?" I often asked myself. But I had no answers to my questions. It took me quite a long time to define her true intentions. One night, she visited. "Let's try it," she proposed that night. I felt her warm breath as she whispered. Her wild expectations coupled with anxiety was making her heart beat very fast. It was a quiet night, and the light was dim in the room. That was the first time she spent the night with me. I was determined not to have any affair with her. I was a novice, and I believed she was not though many people in the community including her family believed she was a virgin. A feeling I could not define thrilled through me when she spoke. "A test or she mean it?" I asked silently. We have often talked about staying chaste till the appropriate time, the time we are sure to get married, so why was she proposing that we try it? I brushed off that thought and began thinking about how I was going to go about it if she really meant it. I had no experience in satisfying a woman in bed. "Did you hear me?" she asked. And before I could say anything, I felt a kiss on my right cheek. The man in me responded to the touch. But before I could act on my feelings, I remembered grandma's prediction about us. "Are we really going to get married someday?" I asked silently . . . Happy reading!
