2024-10-29 19:42:56The year started of in segregation. Everyone video called to wish each other. Emily and her husband with her kids booked out in a fancy hotel.Mr and Mrs Daniels were at home, with Chuck of course. How can we forget him? He was an important member of the Daniel's Family.Nash and Nat had pursponed their trip to hempshire due to covid. Edith and her girls were at their home. And Sarah,Jacob and their kids were at home.Having a new place , they thought would be awesome, having friends and family over,entertaining guests but it was not all sunshine and flowers.
School would be starting soon and Sarah's phone beeped. It was Mrs Jones, Alex and Andrea's daycare teacher.''Hi.How are you? She sounded rather dull o the phone. ''I am good thank you, how are you?'' Sarah asked.
''Not so good. We have been in contact with a positive person, we need to be tested. Once we are clear I will let you know but for now I will not be able to look after the kids''.
Sarah was devestated.

Guilty pleasures Chapter 41. We don't talk anymore
Sarah had reaslised that it was pointless keeping ties with people who is not there for you when you need them the most. She eventually stopped talking to Mrs Daniels, her mother by name only. She had stopped being a mother fifteen years ago. Mr Daniels just didn't see anything change. He was oblivious to everything.Everything!!!!!! From character change,behaviour change,family falling apart,segregation and morals and values going down the drain. Sarah sat thinking almost every day, I feel like an orphan. Maybe I have been for the last fifteen years and just didn't notice. Finally her eyes were opened. She had lived in a dream world for so long. Her head hurt thinking so much. She sat with deep regret.She should have cut ties with the Daniels the day she was forced into marraige.Was she holding on to broken dreams for so long. She should have never let them be apart of her childrens life. Is it too late to cut ties now?Sarah's heart hurt but She knew that
Guilty pleasures Chapter 42. Last ray of hope
Nash, Nat, Edith and her kids were at Sarah's place on a clear saterday afternoon.The air was crisp with an afternoon chill. They had planned a small sibling get together. Sarah also invited Emily but she was a no show as usual. Probably harbouring some self pity, or maybe just her ladida self. Clearly no one knew and no one cared. Today they were just going to relax, have fun eat and chill out. They all made themselves at home. The kids were all with Nash in the loubge sitting on the couch watching a movie. Jacob loved cooking so he decided to cook on the fire. Nat and Edith started making rotis. Sarah helped Jacob cut up his vegetables for the curry. Jacob always peeled potatoes badly. Half the potato flesh would be peeled off if he were to peel a potato. Jacob opened up his white plastic table and took it outside, laying all his cleaned vegetables and spices to cook. He took the dish with his washed chicken peices outside with him. After setting up his wood on the tray unde
Guilty pleasures 43. Edith's outburst
Edith could not help herself anymore. After the weekend she tackled their mother about the truth. Nothing was denied, but she questioned who told her.Sarah read the messages that Edith sent. They were straight forward.But she always had the feeling everyone assumed that she was the influence.Yes indeed, they did s**t to her, but no, she didn't walk around poisoning people against her mother. She clearly stopped giving two hoots a long time ago.Yes, it hurt but she was not going to let it cause a negative effect in her life. She had her own life. Her own family and no one was going to mess that up.After many messages, Edith clearly got the message that she was a write off from the family. WOW, that hurt her so much, but she held a brave face.Like which wife is not happy that her children have spent time with their dad. The massages she sent Edith was spiteful. They were mean.Well, it was now Ediths turn to feel the reject and

Sarah's days went on as usual. Although she now suffered from insomnia due to this whole saga, she was otherwise well.Everyday she would ask herself:''Was telling the truth so wrong? Was wanting the best for her father wrong? Did he actually know and chose to not see it? Should they have just said nothing and continued going there like fools? Did Chuck have no concience? Does her mother have no concience? What did they expect to happen when they asked the obvious questions? Why is it when we ask questions, it now becomes a sign of disrespect to elders? ''Sometimes in life you need to cut away from the people who bring about negative energy. You need to make room for the positive light.They had messaged Mr Daniels for his birthday, they even tried to call but his phone was off. He had really cut ties with them. All in the name of love. A love that was his no more. A love that he probably did not have from the very beginning. A love that was one sided.

After 3 long years of studying, Sarah applied like a crazy woman to every company she could find advertising. It was not that she was unhappy, it was because she needed a new , fresh start.Sarah dressed in a pencil skirt, black stockings, a crisp white shirt and a sleeveless coat. Tying her hair up in a bun, leaving tendrils around her face so she didn;t look like an air hostess, she applied light make up.She decided to go with a small heel closed tipped shoe, shiny red ro break up the black and white she had going on.Looking at herself in the mirror, she applied a red lipstick.''Pluck,pluck'', she puckered her lips together making sure it was evenly spread.''Good day, I am Sarah White'', She said, reaching out her hand to the mirror.''No, no, no.

Last chapter.Mark grabbed his towel once his crazy neighbor untied him.Never in his life had he been so used.His a*** hurt so much he grabbed a back of peas from the freezer as soon as he reached home.He drew his curtains and sat on the bed.The ticking of the wooden clock on the wall had caught is attention.It was already five thirty, he had spent more than two hours being tortured.He picked up his phone and saw two missed calls.It was Jessica."It is a sign.", he thought.He called her."Hi", her cheery voice came through the receiver.For a woman who had been ignored for a few months, she sounded quite happy."Can we meet?", Mark asked. Jessica agreed. "Six thirty?", Mark suggested. "Perfect." Mark went back into the bath. This time he filled the tub with boiling hot water and some rough sea salt. Pulling on a pair of dark blue skinny leg jeans and a black polo neck shirt, Mark left his apartment in a hurry. He missed Jessica but he knew he wanted his old life back. He

Chapter 5Mark Molt sat comfortably on his black leather chair behind his large dark brown oak desk. It was another long day at the office. He waited for Mrs Blunder, who was his secretary for the last fifteen years, to bring his coffee. She had been bringing him his coffee since the day she started. She was as old as his grandmother, he assumed. Her grey hair and wrinkled face had much warmth and love. He adored her. This year will be her retirement. She decided to stay on until sixty five although sixty was the retirement age. She was as fit as a fiddle. Never complained, seldom took sick leave or any leave for that matter. He was going to miss her.She was truly a valued member of the law firm family. Mrs Blunder handed him his coffee," extra hot, extra strong, extra milk and no sugar, just how you like it son". His heart melted just hearing the little old lady. Indeed he will miss her. She had three more months until retirement. He wished she didn't have to go. Mark tried to persue

Chapter 4Jessica woke up with a throbbing headache. Her head ached, her foot ached. Her body ached. Everything just ached. She sat up slowly trying not to strain her foot. As her thoughts flooded into her mind with the events of last night, she felt nauseas. She remembered going to the hospital and then everything was blank.Jessica was blank. She really could not remember anything after the hospital and this made her panic. She could feel an anxiety attack rising within her. Her chest tightened. She felt as if she was suffocating. She cupped her hands over her mouth taking a few deep, quick breathes. A technique she learnes when she was a child. It was something she lived with most of her life. Whenever she got stressed out, even by the most slightest things, she would freak out drastically, leading to a panic attack. As she calmed down and started to massage her temples her daughter jumped on the bed next to her. " Hey mom, what happened to your foot?" she asked, her eyebrows now f

Chapter 3*Knock, knock*As Charlie held a sleeping Jessica, he leaned against the wall for support outside her door and strained his arm to knock on her door. He knocked the door quiet hard since no one had answered the door yet, he started to pang his closed fist against the door in frustration. Jessica was dead weight. His arm was becoming numb. He heard the lock on the doot turn and out came a stubby man. Round as a barrel, smelling of cheetos. It was an unpleasant sight and smell. He had never seen such a disgusting person in his life before living in an apartment. He belonged on a street corner, begging for change. " So YOU brought her home. Did you have a good time, was it so good she sprained her ankle and fell asleep".Just leave her on the bed as he motioned Charlie to leave her on their bed. He left her down gently. He walked to the living room to see that everything was a mess. There was dishes piled on the coffee table, clothes in the floor and beer cans piled next to t

A sexual song suddenly came on. It was ''Monifah,Touch it''.Mark sat crossed legged on the office chair when he felt delicate fingers trace around his neck and shoulders.There was someone singing in his ears. This secy voice sending shivers uo his soine awakening desire within him. He wondered who it could be.It was Joey Bloom, dressed in a mini skirt, halter neck top and high heals. Her cleavage was popping out of her shirt, as she turned him around in his chair. Everyone knew Mark always had atleast one good fling at every office party. He already slept with most of the woman in the firm.They all slept with him willingly.Every woman wanted a part of Mark Molt.The ladies always gossiped that he was a stallion in bed.Joey Bloom did not get her chance ,she was always outrun by the other woman,

It took me back to the day I started writing. it eased my mind and kept me occupied from the pain. Writing made me forget, it took me to my own imaginary world that blocked out the nastiness of reality. There was just too much going on, the pain inside had become like an arrow to the heart. I could not run nor could I had hide from my own harsh reality. I needed an escape and writing had become my own self taught councelling.I started writing CHEATED by the CEO which basically revolved around my sister's life.Chapter 1* Best CEO ever, Mark Molt!!! **clap, clap, clap*Everyone applauded as Mark stood in the centre of the law firm. He smiled from ear to ear, showing of his deep dimples. He was every girls dream guy, but he was also a married man with kids. The ultimate party animal.

His eyes so blue like the deepest ocean and lips that invited you in, woman had to fight the urge that he is

It wasn't all but a dream. The next morning I received a message over social media.It was him. He was checking up if I was alright. He knew me well and I guess that he picked up that this wasn't me. At first I played it cool, eventually I couldn't hold it in any longer.After letting out every bit of sadness that made a home in my heart, I felt relieved.The next afternoon,Grant came over with a pack of beers. Everyday we spoke and everyday I complained.Maybe I shouldn't have complained. Maybe I shouldn't have spoken.But for once I actually felt happy. For once I was actually being heard. Someone was taking my thoughts and feelings into consideration. Although I was the one who had cut all ties with him for a misunderstanding that was never about him, he was still the same caring person as always.Thinking back about that misunderstanding:I had just started a new job and I decided to take out a life cover for my dad who had asked me to.He felt that we should at some point bene
