Tears streamed down my face as I shook with sobs. No, it wasn’t true. I refused to believe what I had just heard. How could they do this to me? How could Leo betray me so brutally, and with my sister, no less? The very person who had always tried to make my life miserable. What had I done to deserve this?
I had always been a simple girl, living a simple life, even when my parents were well off. I never let it go to my head and always wanted to do my own thing. I was soft-spoken, and kind, and never had any issues with anyone. Though my parents had a business, I chose to be different and built my own company. But everything changed when my mom died during my university days. My life was never the same. My father became more and more distant, and I was shocked when he announced he was getting married again.
The moment Flora, my stepmom, and her daughter came into the picture, my entire life was turned upside down. They took everything away from me – my life, my family, and now my love too. No, I would get to the bottom of this. I refused to be played for a fool. I was going to get my answers.
I stormed into Leo’s office, ready to confront him. “What the hell was that all about, Leo?” I demanded, seeing May on his lap, both of them giggling like kids. “Am I interrupting something?” I asked, my voice firm. They both turned to see me at the doorway, and May scrambled off Leo’s lap.
“Hello, Sis,” May said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
“I see you’re both busy. Care to explain what’s going on here, Leo?” I asked, my eyes fixed on him.
“How did you get in here?” Leo stammered, looking like a deer caught in the headlights. “So now I’m not allowed into your office, or is it because I saw something I shouldn’t have?” I shot back.
“Yeah, I can see that. You’re so busy banging my sister. How could you, Leo? I thought we were engaged. How could you do this to me after everything we’ve been through? I trusted you.”
“Look, I wanted to tell you sooner…” Leo started.
“Oh really, tell me sooner that you’ve been sleeping with my sister? Is that it?” I interrupted, my voice rising.
“I’m sorry, okay? But the truth is, I don’t love you. I thought I did, but I was mistaken. Being with May made me realize that I only loved you as a sister. I’m sorry it turned out this way.”
“You didn’t think to discuss this with me first? Instead, you went behind my back and had an affair with my sister, and I have to find out in the worst possible way!” I exclaimed.
“I’m sorry, sis. I never meant for this to happen this way,” May said, her voice laced with fake remorse.
“Oh, you slimy bitch!” I yelled.
“This was bound to happen one way or the other. You caused this with your high and mighty attitude. You were always superior, and every other person is inferior to you.”
“That’s not true!” I protested.
“Isn’t it? You always had everything – shoes, clothes, bags, jewelry, name it. And I had nothing. Leo was mine first, but then, as always, you came into the picture and snatched him away from me.”
“Is that what this is about? Rivalry? You always had everything!” I shot back.
“Oh, don’t be silly. Dad loved you more than me. I was just the extra burden he picked up when he married Mom. But not anymore, Sis. I’ve finally gotten what I want. Leo’s mine and there’s no way I’m giving him up – not for you or anyone else. He doesn’t love you. Deal with it!” May sneered.

NinaSoft silky sheets, heavenly goodness, since when did my sheets become soft, in my semi-conscious state I reached for my teddy bear Toodles, and came up empty, something wasn’t right, Toodles never leave my bed, this was not my room. Where the hell am I, I got up with a bolt and nearly fell off the bed. Damn, my head felt like someone was repeatedly hitting it over and over again, how much did I drink last night anyways.I looked around the room, nothing looked familiar in any way, I couldn’t even recognize a single pin, I scrambled off the bed, panicking about how in the world I got here.“Calm down, Nina, calm down, try to remember what happened last night”, I tell myself.I had a shitty day at work, all thanks to my wonderful sister, May, then I headed over to the club to put my sorrows in a bottle. I must have blanked out then, I don’t remember anything after that. I noticed my clothes folded nearly at the corner of the room, someone must have changed my clothes and I don’t ev

The Amber family dinner it’s always an elaborate affair, Different extended relatives, cousins, maternal and paternal sides, and even those married into the family and those affiliated as well everyone who wants a piece of the Amber fortune gather together in one place to reminisce and to talk about things they've missed, in other words, it’s a hellhole, a gathering relations show off the things they've achieved recently, make fun of other relative losses, gossip about whose family is failing pretending to be in good terms but at the same time looking for weaknesses of the other that they can latch their sharp teeth onto. Everyone’s praying for what the others stand for and at the same time also hypothetically wishing the other more winnings.They were all a bunch of hypocrites each of them seeking to out-do the other and at the same time get to the top of the food chain, and guess who's at the top, yeah you guessed right my fa

NinaI walked into Alexander’s office with a sense of determination, I had finally decided to work against my family, but most especially against my sister May and Leo, that backstabbing cheater.“Welcome Miss Nina, we’ve been expecting you”, the receptionist said as soon as she saw me.“Right, this way Ma’am.” She led me into an elevator and pressed a button. Immediately she stepped back.“Wait, you’re not coming", I said, confused.“No ma’am, the boss likes his privacy, he specifically requests for you to be directed into his office as soon as you arrive”.“B.. but how would I know his office”.“It's not hard to miss, his office is on the entire top floor”. The elevator door closed.The entire top floor, I was stunned, exactly how rich he said he was again, the elevator dinged its arrival and stepped out of it into a very huge office, my jaw dropped to the floor.“ Ah, I see you’ve arrived Nina, glad you could make it”, Alexander said, looking so handsome in his suit, he looked so e

Alexander had a hard time convincing me to attend this event, but I wasn’t so sure, what if they didn’t like me, if I somehow managed to embarrass myself like I always do, what if I’m not good enough. What if May wins? I was drowning in a bunch of what-ifs, but Alexander pulled me out of it.“Relax, you would do just great, I’ll be by your side, have no fear.”It was the only way I could summon the courage to attend. As we arrived at the party all eyes were on us, we made a stunning couple and I could feel the speculation in the air.“Are they dating?”.“What the hell is she doing with him?”.We mingled with the crowd having fun and laughing, but I could sense the tension beneath the surface, May was here somewhere probably staring daggers at me, and my family would be wondering what the hell was I doing here,

Nina “And here comes the only legitimate daughter of the lord of this house, May Amber.” “Come on, you can do better than stare,” my stepmother rose to her feet.“Not for your thieving daughter.”I can't believe my dear sister all had this little display of hers scripted out as if her life depended on it. She looks like a dummy with flowers on her head, like that of a rejected Disney princess.I knew what her plans were, to make an entrance and cover up for her mischievous acts, her failures and sad eyes covered with circles, but I wouldn't let that happen; we would go lower together if she thought this lunch wouldn't be about her."Yeah, let's welcome the world ever known plagiarist," I said, clapping my hands harder and cheering her up.

They both looked shocked to have seen me and him together.Leo fisted his finger, his face suddenly turned pale with anger
After Betrayal, I Married My Ex's Enemy. Again at the family reunion
NinaI was in Alexander’s car when it came, a mail from my father’s secretary, the one that did all the mailings, not just for my father but for our entire family.Her name is Lucia, and she is quite good with keyboards. The wordings reminded me of her. I tapped into it and read it out to Alexander’s hearing. Father wants me to attend a family lunch at our place, and the extended family would be there to dine with us. The supposed snakes and scorpions who I knew would bite and sting just May, not me.“Awesome,” Alexander was with the wheel. “Will you honor such?”I raised my brows. Why wouldn’t I honor a family invitation? Yes, we are clearly at war, but the war hasn’t found its way off from our family gate, though Alexander was involved because Leo was involved.“Of course, we should be there,” I looked at him, “Leo will be there with my stepsister.”Alexander chuckled and pulled into a nearby boutique. That was the least I expected. I thought he would protest my idea and make one e

May “You’ve not said something about what happened last night,” Mom was up with the nag. “You let them take what belongs to our daughter and tossed it to your other daughter.”Mom has a way of referring to me and Nina whenever she dragged father with words with rough tone. She knew how to make distinctions. I am their daughter, but Nina, her association with our family has a thing with my father alone.“You saw everything, you didn’t rise to protest, you sat your ass down and watched your damnable favorite daughter have the award.” Mom hollered.I couldn’t help it, the urge to laugh was heavy on me, but I did my best to make it a noiseless giggle, but I was far in different thought before mom’s voice came banging to the roofs.My night with Leo. It was heaven. The alcohol, his friends, the music, the talks the kiss, the sex at the club walkway and his cum in my mouth in his car.Yes, I sucked his cum out of his balls in his car, while his hands were busy with the wheel. We nearly cra

Nina“You didn’t tell me you were going to shock the world tonight,” I was all over the award I received earlier. “I saw the shock on their face, my father, my step-mother, my step-sister, and Leo.”Alexander at the far end of the hall was busy. His cigar was lit and his lips puffed smoke in the air. Beside his seat was a side stool on which was nestled a glass of red wine, but his eyes were on the sofa where I sat“And my extended family, I didn’t just see the shock,” I went on. “They seemed to have known longer than my father realized that May has entirely nothing genuine to offer.”I rose from the seat and made to the shelf in the hall. It bore my books, the ones that had something about art, ranging from the records of DaVinci to that of other notable artists, but the ones I preferred most were works of world class jewelers who had so far been my greatest inspiration. I placed my award on the shelf and leaned it to kiss it.“The fight hasn’t started, you know,” Alexander quenched

MayLeo was waiting in his car outside our gate like he said. On a normal day, he would have pulled into our compound and proudly exchange pleasantries with my father and my mom, and cross his hand around my waist, but I guess tonight would have been the worst of his life if ever he dared step in.“Ma’am, I asked him to come in but he turned deaf ears,” the guard at the gate reported as I got to the gate. The fellow was well one of the gossips, it was on his face.“Get out of the way,” I ordered.The fellow stepped aside. No one ever quelled my access to the gates, and no one would ever do such, unless it’s father’s demand, but the good thing is, father doesn’t seem keen with my way about. He’s is rather more interested with that of his beloved daughter who just made mess of us tonight.Ewww. It’s super cold outside. I never realized it all the while I was inside, but here, it seemed really different, like a see fug was about to cover the outsides.I reached out for the door handle as
