My entire life, I have never met anyone like Father Bernard. When we met in 2019, I did not envision that my life would revolve around him. Even when he expressed interest in me, I had no desire for him. I just wanted to focus on my education. Father offered to help me with my financial needs, and that got my attention. This man took good care of me financially. He anticipated my needs and provided them for me before I even asked. He even gave me a car so I wouldn’t stress myself with public transportation. He also gave…

For some time now, my husband makes me pay for shuperu. He doesn’t ask for it like he used to. When we started, he was the one always chasing me for it. I didn’t say no to him. Never. Whenever he was on top, I played my part to make the whole thing exciting. Two children later, he had stopped chasing me. When I go for it, he gives me excuses; “I’m tired let me sleep. Wake me up at dawn and let’s do it.” I would wake him up at dawn and my husband would get angry. We had…
I was her client when we first met. I just had an itch that desperately needed to be scratched that night. That was why I patronized her services. It was meant to be a one-night affair. It’s not as if she treated me with extra care. She did not show me any moves that went beyond the conventional way of intimacy. Everything was average. Yet for some reason, I found myself attached to her in a way I considered abnormal. It was as if I could not have enough of her body. My attachment to her was so strong that…
I had an affair with him to get the job. It was supposed to be a transaction where I gave my body for the job. I did. True to his words, I was given the role a week later. I thought it was going to end there but it didn’t. He would press my chest in his office, he would call me in and play with my body, I would sit on his lap while he worked. When I realized it wasn’t going to stop, I surrendered to his will and became his side chick. We tried our best to…
It all started one Friday when a lady I had not seen before entered our department and headed straight to our team to hand over the names of new staff to be added to the team. She caught my eyes that very moment but I didn’t want to seem too obvious. I had to be a gentleman and pretend I was focused on the task before me. While I was doing this, I was giving her a side eye until she left. When we reported to work the next week, my manager showed up to introduce the new staff to our…
It was late at dawn when the text came in. I was half asleep so the sound got my attention. The phone’s screen was on so I decided to check what the message was about. It came from a woman. A woman whose husband is dating my girlfriend. She wasn’t angry. She was thanking my girlfriend for confirming her suspicion. Before we went to bed that night, my girlfriend was on her phone chatting with someone. She was smiling a lot and typing with speed. When I turned off the light, she put her phone down and we slept. According to…
My wife’s junior sister came to live with us after SHS. I thought it was just a visit but by the time I realized, she was living with us permanently. She isn’t somebody I talk to or play with or engage in any way. She would say good morning and I’ll respond. Sometimes she would serve my food or ask what I would eat. I don’t hate her or hate her presence but there’s nothing to talk about with her. We go to work in the morning and leave the whole house to her. We don’t have children she will take…
