The Lie Of Forever

#While returning home from a late-night shift, I was knocked down by a delivery rider. The girl riding it was deaf and mute, looking no older than a teenager. I couldn’t bring myself to make things difficult for her, so I paid for the medical expenses at the hospital on my own. Limping back home, I saw a familiar delivery helmet lying at the doorway. From inside, laughter echoed through the walls. “She’s such a fool. I was just pretending but she believed it anyway.”

Now her mother suffers from a deadly stroke that leaves her paralyzed and her younger sister, Emily, has gotten admission into the prestigious university of Greenville. Alex is confused and scared. She doesn't want to loose her mom and she also doesn't want her sister to loose her admission slot. But when a job offer comes in as a house keeper in the billionaire Beverly's Mansion, Alex is relieved. Until she finds out the being a male is the main criteria for the job. Alex is desperate, so she agrees. Find out as Alex copes with tying her boobs every morning with a bandage and developing feelings for her boss,the Billionaire Logan Beverly. *** *Snippet* I shift my suspicion aside and continued watching. Alex removed the baggy jeans he wore and was left in a lacy panty I scoffed loudly. My male housekeeper wore panties? I shook my head in confusion. Was he one of those men that had a weird kind of sexual kink? The he stalked into the bathroom. I was tempted to stop. Why was I even bothering watching him undress? It felt weird. But I wanted to know more about that bandage around him. What if he brought in a weapon and concealed it underneath the bandage? I needed to find out. My jaws dropped at what I saw. Alex had boobs! I wiped my eyes to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. How is it possible for a man to have boobs? What's going on here? Alex finally removed the last piece of clothing he had on. And only then did it dawn on me that Alex was in fact, a 'she'.

I was eighteen when I got together with Sam Bennett. We were in love for two years—at least, that was what I thought—until I found out I was nothing more than a stand-in for someone else. After a huge fight, we broke up. Not long after, Paxton Gibson, the warm and caring senior who had always looked out for me, began pursuing me passionately. He was persistent, unwavering, and so sincere that I finally let down my guard and accepted him. Just when I thought I had finally found true happiness, I overheard a phone call between Paxton and Sam. “Don’t worry, Leah trusts me completely. Take good care of Georgina. The surgery will happen soon.” In the end, when I really did disappear, they changed their minds. “Leah, come home with me, please?” I smiled, at peace with myself. “But I haven’t had a home for a long time.”

In this world, there are more ways to deal with a problem than the problem itself. That applies just as well to cheating men. Rich men, especially, will go to absurd lengths just to have more women in their lives. There's no trick too low, no scheme too shameless. Take my boss, for example. He handed over his stunning mistress to me. Honestly, I suspected he couldn't perform in bed, because she came into my bedroom night after night.

I had just become an adult when my neighbor, Connor Grayson, started flirting with me. We kept our relationship a secret year after year.

Then I saw Connor bring another woman home. "Selena, this is my fiancée. We're getting married." I thought Connor would let me go. I didn't want to ruin anyone's relationship. However, he wouldn't leave me alone despite my shameful predicament. "Yes, I'm getting married, but did I say you could go? It took a lot of effort to make you fall for me."

Mein Bruder und mein Vater mochten meine ältere Schwester Emilia seit unserer Kindheit, mich aber verachteten sie. Als ich auf einer Feier schikaniert wurde, half mir Ben Wagner, der Mafia-Boss, und erklärte, ich sei seine große Liebe. Er kündigte an, jeden zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen, der mich noch einmal beleidigen würde. Ben kaufte mir ein Schloss im tiefen Wald, ließ es mit meinen Lieblingsblumen, Tulpen, bepflanzen und gab mir eine Schloss-Hochzeit, die im ganzen Land für Aufsehen sorgte. Plötzlich wurde ich von allen Frauen beneidet. Im siebten Schwangerschaftsmonat besuchte ich die Geburtstagsfeier meines Vaters, als plötzlich ein Feuer ausbrach. Mein voreingenommener Vater und Bruder beschützten nur Emilia und flohen mit ihr. Ich wäre fast im Feuer umgekommen, aber zuletzt rettete Ben mich. Im Krankenhaus wachte ich auf und sah einen Anblick, der mir das Herz brach. „Wer hat euch beauftragt, das Feuer zu legen?“ herrschte Ben sie mit finsterer Miene an. „Sie ist sieben Monate schwanger! Wollt ihr Lena und das Kind mit einer Frühgeburt umbringen?“ Mein Bruder und Vater erklärten leise: „Emilias Leukämie darf sich nicht verzögern. Die Ärzte sagten, die Operation müsse schnell durchgeführt werden… dafür wird das Knochenmark des Babys gebraucht…“ „Ich mache mir noch mehr Sorgen um Emilias Leben als ihr!“ „Sonst hätte ich Lena nie geheiratet!“ „Aber ihr dürft Lena nicht verletzen! Ich habe meinen eigenen Plan!“, warnte Ben. „Emilia zu retten ist unser Ziel, aber nicht um den Preis von Lenas Leben! Das erlaube ich nicht!“ Ich floh hastig. Also hatte er mich nicht aus Liebe geheiratet, sondern um Emilia zu retten! All seine Güte mir gegenüber galt in Wirklichkeit ihr. So wie Vater und Bruder mochte auch er nur sie – nicht mich. Da mich niemand mochte, würde ich einfach gehen.

The seventh time I planned to register for marriage with Piero Conrad, he didn't show up again. I was about to text him and ask when he would arrive when I stumbled upon his childhood friend's post. [Celebrating the 999th day since marrying my dear, from the past to the future, it's always been you.] The video showed a marriage certificate, with Piero's name listed as the husband. The registration date was May 20, three years ago. I realized that was why he never showed up those seven times. He was already married to someone else.
