I didn’t know my dad. My mom for years accused him of leaving us when we needed him the most. When I asked why daddy left, she told me, “He didn’t want a girl child so when I gave birth and it was a girl, he took your brother and ran away with him.” She made me feel unwanted. The sperm that moulded me abandoned me because I was despicable. I didn’t choose my gender but he chose to leave. I was bitter anytime I thought of my father. When my mom showed me pictures of my brother, I didn’t…

I belong to a denomination that preaches that we should marry from the church. They tell us that it is better for us and easier to keep our faith if we marry someone who practices the same doctrines as we are taught in church. I am talking about the Jehovah’s Witness church. Now that is my problem. I have never met someone in my church who is interested in marrying me. The church boys who come into my life only talk about having intimacy with me. None of them have tried to get to know me for who I am.…
My wife, Suzzy, and I have been married for the past four years. The first time we met at a mutual friend’s birthday party at his residence in Cantonments.

That was the first time during the night that I interacted with her. My friend had mentioned her in conversation several times in the past so I was glad to finally put a face…
I met him two years ago. Right from the moment we met, he told me he liked me. I liked him too but there was one thing that mattered to me most. That was, whether or not he was married. I asked him, “Are you not married?” He answered, “Oh no I’m not married. I have two children though. They live with their mother in one of my houses so that shouldn’t be a problem.” I didn’t have any problem with him being a father as long as he wasn’t somebody’s husband. Once my question was answered, I accepted his…
My father started sleeping with me when I was in JHS. I was his favourite child. She paid my fees on time, bought me things he didn’t buy for my other siblings and always made sure I was alright. One night, I was sleeping when I felt a moving darkness had descended on me. I instinctively opened my eyes only to see my dad standing at my feet, casting a large shadow on me. I was sleeping next to my elder sister. My dad asked me to get up and follow him. I trusted him. A man who loved me…
Everything Was Going On Fine Until She Dipped His Hand Into My Boxers We were friends for a very long time but we never met. She knew I was in Dansoman and I also knew she lived in Ablekuma.

My twin sister and I were our daddy’s little treasures. He went everywhere he could with us. Everyone who knew him knew that we were his pride and joy. He often carried us and showed us to everyone; “Look at my princesses, aren’t they beautiful?” We enjoyed the attention and we worshipped him. As much as we wanted to follow him everywhere he went we couldn’t. Daddy was a busy man and so was our mother. We had three older siblings who took care of us in our parents’ absence. We lived in a flat in a very beautiful residential…
We were both working while schooling at the same time. That’s how I met her, in school. We did not become close until we got to level 300. I knew her to be a brilliant student.

But I wanted to get close to her so I submitted myself under her tutelage. The more she tutored me, the more time we spent together. Our proximity was what made us closer. Before long,…
