Chapter 1.Elena walked into the beautiful restaurant and made her way to the VIP session she had earlier made a reservation for.Today was her 20th birthday and Even though she had so many worries she had decided to put them aside and celebrate her birthday for once in 20 years as her friend had suggested.She took a seat at the table of 4 her friend had helped her reserve with some huge amount and waited patiently for her father stepmother, and step-sister, even though none liked her, she still wanted to unite with them.While she waited patiently for their arrival, her eyes wandered off to the beautiful view of the restaurant, the air was quite cheesy and the environment was as comfy as her home chair.It was a five star restaurant, although it had a black setting and black interior designs, it still looked really bright. Elena didn't view the restaurant as a restaurant like everyone did, she saw it as a symbol of brightness admit its dark setting and she prayed to have something that would make her life bright at least for the new age she was stepping into.Her phone made a gentle beep and she reached out, it was her closest friend, Mira.Elena and Mira had been friends for quite a long time now, and it was safe to call them unbiological sisters, even though they both had different personalities, they were able to fit into each other perfectly Mira was an Extrovert while Elena was an introvert.She flashed her phone a smile picking up the call and taking it to her ear.“Hey, bestie.” Mira’s voice vibrated from the other end and Elena smiled.“Hey, Mira. How are you doing?”“Great. How is your day coming up?”“Ummm…. Nothing much. I am at the restaurant but my stepmum, sis, and Dad haven't arrived. Hopefully, they arrive soon.”“Stay calm Elena I am certain they would come.”“Hmmm.” Elena nodded gently.Elena gave the place another gentle view and muttered.“Thank you so much, Mira, for securing such a beautiful and serene place for me.” It was about the calmness all along.“I am not doing this for you next time, you would have to get your ass out.” she snorted out, and Elena chuckled.“Just called to check up on you, do enjoy your day.” Mira further said after a while and blew her kisses from her end while Elena smiled and ended the call, going back to her usual mood, so far, she had just one person who brightened her day and sometimes that person isn’t always around. Elena felt her birthday was a curse to have fallen to a Saturday, Saturdays were days when Mira’s parent always visited their grandparent, it was like a routine or habit. If she had her way she would have spent it with Mira, she desperately wishes she had the kind of love Mira had for her parent.After 45 minutes of waiting, she gathered all her courage and picked her phone reaching out to her dad.He picked at the 2nd ring.“Hello, father.”“Go straight to the point, I am busy.” his Curt voice sent shivers down her spine but she managed to continue.“Ummm… father…. My… I booked a reservation at a restaurant for my birthday...I have been waiting.”she managed to say hoping he wouldn't end the call on her.“Cursed days are not to be celebrated Elena, haven't I forbid you from celebrating your birthday?” he groaned the last word, and her heart dropped.“I….i…”“Your birthday is just as cursed as you are, Elena, and I would not make it to something that would claim my life,” his replies were nonchalant and Elena tried to not take it to heart even if she knew he wouldn't attend.“I am not even in the state Elena, Vera wants a vacation too and we are currently in Paris, you could celebrate it yourself, and this should be the last.” the last part came as a command before he ended the call.Elena’s heart clenched and the tears rolled out of her eyes without a break, she was holding back the tears all this while till he mentioned taking her stepsister to a trip, not only did he forget her birthday but regarded it as a cursed day like he had always done, he took her stepsister out on her birthday.Gently she reached out to the small note on her bag and a pen.“Do cancel the reservation.” She dropped the note and stood up trying to pull herself together.Elena is the oldest daughter of Mr. Alcantara, a petite slim girl with thick curly wave hair that framed her delicate oval face, her Hazel Green eyes were a mixture of Doe and siren but they were not as innocent as her, she had a nice pointed nose, slim heart shape lips, and a nice thick slim shape, her body was the dream of every lady including her best friend and men were not an exception.All her life, Elena grew up knowing two things, be a good girl and make daddy proud, although she kept the rules to the letter her father never spared her more than just a glance, she was always in constant competition with her sister for her father's attention and it was right to say that Vera had won.Her father had always accused her for being the curse of her mothers death, cause her mother died while giving birth to her, he had remarried when she was two years but Elena’s step mother claimed she had a child for him outside wedlock and he accepted after a successful DNA, showering all his love and affection on just Vera. Although her father never missed out on her monthly salary or material things but he never took anything else about her serious, he payed her school fee before Anyone else in school and he funds her account even before she goes out of cash but nothing connected them aside financial transactions.Elena had lived every day of her life in pain, and constant agony, praying that her father would spare her not just a glance, and she thought this new age might bring that to her, but she was wrong.Claded in grief, Elena walked her way out of the VIP section paying no attention to anything surrounding her and hoping to not break down in the quest of holding back her tears till she got home, she suddenly felt her body pressing to something hard, not like a wall, but it was strong to shield people from their pain.“Oh my goodness…” she exclaimed and watched as the man’s phone landed on the floor his screen crashing into pieces.Desdemona It was all good.The joy in the house, the laughter shared, the plays they engaged in, the only things being created were good memories.It was all good.Too good to let it last.The pair had sidelined me in all that they did. Baking, cooking, playing games, I was even blindfolded while they were watching a movie.Here they were thinking of baking again. Apparently my daughter loved the activity so much she wants to do it for the rest of her life. Worst part is she wants to do it with Ettiene!“Molly,dear, I think its time to get back home. You have to go to the kindergarten tomorrow.”She whines and jumps up from the counter. I scream out, reaching for her but she was already in Ettienes hands.“Molly!” I scream. She continues to giggle, completely ignoring me.Ettiene helps her up the counter. Once again, she jumps and lands in his arms“Guys, guys,” I get in between them. “I agree that you are having fun but fun doesn't have to be dangerous.”“Okay Mommy.” She sits.
Desdemona ‘She's matured so fast.’ ‘She acts so reasonably.’Those are words I don't want to hear being used to describe my daughter. That is why I agreed to go out with Ettiene. Not as the father of my child but as a man I am giving a second chance to.My best friend glared at me from the kitchen. Everytime I face him,he avoids eyecontact.“Come on,we can't be doing this everyday. You agreed to let me be.”“Never said I'll smile as I walk you put the door.”Good point.My phone beeps, a message from Ettiene signaling he was here and that I should leave my phone behind.I sigh and call out to Molly.She comes running as usual.“Go over there and kiss Mr. Grumpy goodbye. I'll be back.”Outside, Ettiene had stepped out of the car and was now leaning against it. “What? You plan on kidnapping me?”He laughs and pulls me in his arms for a light kiss.It was over before I could even fight back.“Seriously, you-” I shake my head to clear the fog caused by his stupid kiss.“If you carry yo
DesdemonaMy eyes glared at the ceiling like it was the source of all my problems.I can't do anything in two weeks–less that two weeks actually.I roughly turn to my side and exhale loudly. The clock starred at me reminding me I have four hours to sleep before work.The date offer from Ettiene still lingers in the air. Not because I don't want to go but because he wants to go on a play date with my daughter included.A knock comes before the knob turns. He flips on the lights.“Something told me you were still awake.”“That thing was right.” I sit up.He hands me a glass of milk.“What's keeping you up?”“Ettiene and his stupid family.”He chuckles. “Must be hard.” Silence embraces us and for the first time I was uncomfortable in it.“Hey, you have something to talk about?”“I don't like the guy and the stress he puts over you. No, it's not because I'm I love with you or anything, I hate what he put you through. And I hate that you want to go back to him.”“I'm giving him time to pr
Chapter 43Desdemona Ignoring and moving on, that's what you do when too much information has been dumped on you all at once.A knock comes and I stop swinging around in my chair.“Come in.” His figure brings a light smile to me face. “I didn't expect to see you here.”“Your secretary called me.”“Ah, the new one? he's quite good at his job.”He sits. “Talk to me.”“You are remaining with two weeks till one of you takes the position.”“I'm well aware.”“What are your plans?”“Oh babe, you want me to share them with you so you could sabotage me?”I laugh, brushing him off. “Now why would I do that to the man I'm attracted to.” and the man who hurt me.He sighs and his shoulders slump. “Honestly, I don't know. Two weeks isn't enough to get that much amount, I think jules will have it this time.”I scoff. “And you are just going to let him?”He gives me a weak shrug.“I'll do it. I'll find someone to make it happen.”“It's a lot of money, Desdemona. ‘“I know. First, do you have anyone
MyraThe club was not packed up but the same smell filled the air; sweat, alcohol and cigarettes. Not to forget sex.I clear my throat and step further inside, allowing my eyes to scan over the room.Josh is tall and well built meaning he won't be hard to spot in the crowd.Cold hands grab my arm. “Come this way.”I spin around but that was not fast enough to catch the face of the man dragging me towards the stairs.“Straight ahead, last room.” He orders huskily.I scoff. ‘Rude of him to handle a woman in such a manner.’Nevertheless I follow his direction.Before I could knock the door swings open.“Josh!”“Why are you here?”I stride past him and make myself comfortable.“Is this where you make the drugs?”“Why are you here?” He repeats more sternly than before.“What? I can't come and visit my brother?”He goes round to his seat and goes back to whatever he was doing.“You are completely ignoring me.” And I'll be darned if my voice sounded as whiny as I heard it.He does not reply.
EttieneOkay.The mother and the daughter are going all out in this round."What? What do you mean my father?"Moriah stops and turns. "And for your information,he was not old then,he is old now. Either way,he does not look his age.""The fuck you mean he does not look his age?" Moriahs face does not give anything away."You are seeing him even now? Are you cheating on David? Are you repeating your past?"She gives a nonchalant shrug. "Who says I am?"Waaaait.No way."Oh so it's someone you are…" Ariel's words trail off as realization hits her like a brick.Myra lifts her head from where it was buried in Josh neck."Come again?"Josh had now quit crying and composed himself. He looks up with a scrunched face and puffy eyes. The guy has clearly been through a lot. I feel for him.Kevin who had been silent all this time lets out a long,deep growl. "You two are sisters. Do you want everything spelt out for you?""What are you mad about?" I mumble loud enough for him to hear.He waves
Desdemona"Wait,what?""Collins is not your father." Mother's voice was even,no trace of emotion but I still felt like she had screamed them.As if she slapped me right across the face with them.So all those years I kept up with the man's shit,I could have done something. I considered the fact that he was my father in every decision I made.My eyes well up.I quickly wipe the tears because there was nothing to cry about."I hate him." My chest burn as I mutter those words."And not him alone,I hate you and I hate my biological father as well." The bitterness in my voice made it sound strained."Yeah. Yeah. But…who is your father?" Myra who was not seated asks.I sprint up and wrap the robe around me tightly. "I don't care. I don't want to know. Leave. Everyone leave."The tears streamed down my cheeks.Ettiene stands beside me and pulls me against him. I allow myself to melt into his support."You do care,babe."I hear Myra snarl from afar."You do and that's why you are crying righ
Desdemona"I'm sorry,mother. We have to tell them."My jaws dropped to the ground and my arms to my side."Please tell me you are kidding.""Oh shit!" Ettiene cussed.I laugh then pause to exchange a glance between the two. "You are joking,right?"No response. "This isn't serious.""No shit it is.""No. No. Tell me it's one of those dumb things you do mother. Tell me that you got with a boy with mommy kink and that's what you have going on."Heavy silence followed."Wow." I say while nodding. "It's not."Myra laughs but that's the least of what I want to focus on at the moment."This family is so messed up.""Explain." I ordered. "It's not worth it." She shrugs it off."No. I deserve an explanation and that is exactly what you are going to give to me." I shuffled from the centre of the room and took a seat on the edge of the bed."Maybe we should go talk about this at home.""I see no reason for that." I argue sternly. "Josh,your son over there will probably tell Myra about it. Kev
Ettiene"You know him?!" "Of course I know him." She replies in a high pitch. "W–what are you doing here?" She is already getting out of bed with the gray sheets wrapped up all over her body. "How do you even know her?'Myra steps in front of the guy. "That part is not very important right now.""Then what is?'"The information that he holds." She declared."Information?" Ariel squeaks. "No." She is pushing Josh out the door. "You have no information you want to give. Nothing at all."Josh revolves around her and ends up in the room where he once was."Who's the man you're with?" His eyes pierced into mine. "Waaaait." He growls. "Is he?" He covers his mouth and turns to Ariel. "No way." He stretches on the 'a' a little bit too long."You went back to the guy who put you through shit?" He sneered."Wait. Wait. Wait. He knows about me? Who is he? What I'm I missing over here?"Ariel's phone rings.She ignores it and moves to the wardrobe where she removes a robe and puts it on. The s
