Sorry mr Williams, she ghosted us, and ran all the way here. We will just take her back now" One of Them say as they grab hold of her but uncle stops them." Let her be" He says with a contented smile " Young lady, how do you feel?" He ask concerned, ignoring what just happened.

My daughter can never and will never be yours"

ROMAN POV Uncle has been more like my role model for long as I can remember, since my parents died. I ask his advice about everything, but today I find myself dumbstruck by his shameless display of lust.How can he shamelessly ask that woman to be his mistress like it is nothing. My head is a mess, not just that I am disgusted.

Uncle has got some explaining to do, and I am not leaving till I get to the bottom of this. " You're still here?. I thought you left" Uncle says nonchalantly as he enters his office "You wouldn't believe what just happened. My....."

He ask confused " I'm talking about that shameless di
