Me: Oh yes. I will go to the pharmacy tomorrow morning and there will be no more worries.

Normally this situation would have freaked me out. I think I was still in shock.

Tony: You need to get dressed. Nelson could arrive at any moment.

Me: Yes you are right.

Even the fact that Nelson might surprise us didn't seem to worry me. I felt so good in Tony's arms. And I obviously didn't want this moment to end. But unfortunately it had to.

Above all, I didn't want to offer this painting to Nelson: his wife and brother naked like a worm in a bed. So I got up and took the sheet to cover myself. As if there was even something left to hide.

Thirty minutes later I was back in the living room. I had taken care to shower and make sure there was no visible sign that Tony had just had sex. Tony was already in the living room too. He was now wearing khaki Bermuda shorts and a blue t-shirt. Still so sexy this guy. Weeeeèè, he was even where before no say so? He had noticed the admiration in my eyes.

Tony: Don't look at me like that, please Naomi.

Me: Yes, excuse Me. We eat?

Tony: Oh yes. I am extremely hungry.

We were really trying to pretend like nothing had happened before. We absolutely avoided talking about Nelson, about what had happened. We were talking about music, Camer gossip and blah blah blah. Beyond the attraction we felt for each other, we had interests in common. Unlike the first day, there was even a bond between us. Even there, sitting on this table, I felt too good in Tony's company. Suddenly, we heard the gate open. Nelson had returned. Reality had resurfaced by bringing back to our memory, everything we had tried to forget.

I suddenly felt dirty. To say that my plan tonight was to be the super loving bride, to offer Nelson a night of love but that it was finally Tony that I offered myself. I was not that girl. The one who cheats on her guy but even more with whom. Yes it's true the feelings for Nelson weren't really that but he was a lovely man and from the moment I committed to marrying him, I owed him respect.

So to avoid Nelson seeing me with Tony, I got up to wash the dishes we had just used. Besides, I was just going to avoid Tony until the wedding. I had to pretend all the time that I didn't have time to be here because of the wedding.

As I worked out my plan in my head, I felt human warmth and immediately a kiss in my neck. Convinced it was Tony...

Me: No, Tony, what are you doing?

Nelson: Tony? What ?

Hooooo my god!!! What had I just done? Nelson would understand everything. It was the end of me oh! My father was going to kill me.

Nelson: How and why would Tony kiss you in the moment honey?

Me: Uh! No. He wouldn't. I I I didn't know you were there so (my heart was beating a thousand an hour)

Nelson: Tony! Tony! Come see.

So I'm dead now!

Tony: Yes what is it?

His gaze was dark. He didn't even dare look Nelson in the face. And me then? I wanted to go underground and disappear. My end was near.

Nelson: Just imagine I come in and kiss my wife on the neck and she jumps thinking it's you. Hahaha hahaha! At least one she slapped me. Haha! As if you could think of kissing her. Honey, I think you're already stressing about the wedding.

Tony and I took a few seconds to realize that Nelson hadn't actually noticed. Hallelujah! Tony and I gave each other a look of relief and immediately started laughing with Nelson so he wouldn't notice we were embarrassed.

Tony: What an idea sister-in-law! You really need to de-stress.

Nelson: At least one she even slapped me.

Me: Alright then. Leave Me! I must have known that you had already returned how?!

Nelson: At the same time, you are right sweetheart. You are so beautiful that Tony could fall under your spell.

Nelson kissed me. But I couldn't help but stare at Tony, who lowered his head. Like he didn't want to see that. Want to see me kiss his brother.

Me: Wait honey. Where were you ? you have given me an appointment here at 7 p.m. and you come at midnight? you don't even call to apologize. This is the second time you've done this to me in two days. You can…

Nelson: You're right baby. Please don't get angry. A last minute meeting with a very important client. Let me catch up okay?

Hum! Sorry, sex. Your brother finished me earlier. Tony had grabbed the same thing as me coming from Nelson. So at that moment he decided to go out. Was he jealous?

Me: And how do you plan to catch up at this hour?

Nelson: I have several ideas in my head. Follow me.

He didn't even let me say a word and pulled my hand. Tony had gone back to his room apparently. He certainly didn't want to see us playing lovers.

I had seen correctly. Nelson was talking about sex. Once in the room he began to kiss me, caress me and undress me. When I was completely naked, he stopped.

Nelson: You are so beautiful Naomi! I will take care of you.

He left me standing there naked and headed for the bathroom. I was going to have to play along. Love what Nelson was doing to me tonight and keep him away from suspicion. But I couldn't help but think of Tony who had gone back to his room. What did he think of all this? Was he jealous? Did he find me disgusting?

Nelson: Honey? But what are you doing ? Come meet me ?

I moved forward in spite of myself. Because one I felt bad making love with him when a few hours before I had had fun with his brother. Two because I was too exhausted to engage in a sexual act now. And three and the worst, I didn't want Nelson at all. It seemed like Tony had erased any possible attraction I might have had for Nelson. But I had no choice. He was my future husband and I had to give myself to him.

Nelson wanted me to take a bubble bath. However, I had showered not long ago. His face was so eager to please me that I couldn't tell him no. And then, who knows ? This bath would undoubtedly relax me.

* One hour later

I was lying on the bed with my back to Nelson who was sleeping like a big baby. I didn't want him to find out by chance that I was crying. This night was probably the worst of all. At least after Nelson arrived. It all started pretty well. He was taking care of me in the bathtub, massaging me, kissing me on the back.

But eventually he wanted more. Suddenly, I felt two of his fingers entered me without warning. At the same time as he was doing it, he was saying to me: “Tell me that you like it”.

No I didn't like it. Maybe in other circumstances it would have been. However, I gave him the answer he wanted. It sounded like my response was a cue I gave him because he got even more aggressive. Earlier, however, I had liked Tony's violence on me, but there...

He stopped and pulled me out of the tub and I prayed inwardly that it was over. Nelson only dried me off so I wouldn't wet his bed. Returning to the bedroom, he resumed with a vengeance and penetrated me so hard that I involuntarily emitted a cry. No enjoyment. Nelson took me in every way. What I hated above all is that while he was making his movement back and forth inside me, he demanded moans, cries. I was completely disgusted because I'm sure Tony heard us and I felt even worse.

So after all that the only thing I could do was cry in my corner and endure. I had looked for the problems myself. If I hadn't tasted Tony's body, I probably wouldn't have had this feeling of disgust with Nelson. However, when I reflected on the last time, and indeed the first time, that I had sex with Nelson, he hadn't been so vicious. Probably because it was the first time. He had wanted to be a gentleman to me and not rush me. So after all that the only thing I could do was cry in my corner and endure. I had looked for the problems myself.

Me: Ok me too what I do there is up to me. Tsuip!

No, but who did he think he was talking to me like that? I headed straight for the kitchen to drink some water. He had succeeded in pissing me off even more. My plan to even watch TV, he came from mm ndem that. Poor bastard like that! And to think that I was even worried about him just now. I was going to go back to the bedroom and wait for sleep to take me.

Tony: Excuse Me Naomi.

Me: Okay.

I didn't want to be nice to him. This was going to weaken me and I think I had already screwed up enough with Tony. So I continued on my way to the bedroom. But when I opened the door, Nelson was no longer in bed. I heard water running in the toilet. My fear resurfaced. I sincerely hoped he hadn't been listening to my conversation with Tony. I absolutely had to stop stressing because that's what was more likely to betray me.

Nelson: Honey? where were you ?

Me: I was thirsty so I went to get some water

Nelson: Ok. Let's sleep now.

Phew! I had a narrow escape once again. I had to be on my guard now and avoid Tony as much as possible. It was easy. I was just going to let myself be immersed in the preparations for the dowry and the wedding. Start my revisions for my next exams. With all that, even Nelson I wouldn't have time to see much. Anyway, these days, seeing Nelson was seeing Tony.

* A few days later

I came home from my first day of exams to find my family and Nelson, Tony and his girlfriend sitting in the living room looking crestfallen. I didn't know they had to come home and from the sight of their looks I knew it was definitely not for good news.

Dad: We've been waiting for you. Sit down.

Me: Hello everyone. What's wrong ?

Dad: Hmm! What's wrong ? are you asking us?

Me: what are you talking about dad?

I suspected what dad was talking about but I wanted to confess anything before I was sure.

Mom: Oh Naomi! Is that how I raised you? You want to put shame on me? What am I going to tell my family, my friends?

Nelson: But speak Naomi. Tell your father how you spent your time seducing my brother.

What me ? I never seduced Tony! It is him who…...

Emmy (Tony's girlfriend): Who is he? Liar! Tony could never have seduced you. You gave her your charm number.

Me: That's wrong! Nelson I beg you to believe me. I made a big mistake I admit it but I still want to be your wife. Tony played me. Please forgive me.

Dad: So it's true Naomi? Naomi did you really do that? what did I not give you? where did you learn that? What did we do to you? Eh ? Answer!

Me: Dad no. I didn't want that, I assure you.

Dad: No, what you want is to be like those girls you see on the street. Is this the kind of woman you want to be? Know that I will not accept that in my house. So you're going to play your life as a big girl there outside my house!!!

What me ? No Dad doesn't say that. Listen to me.

Dad: I said outside! I don't want a girl like you.

Me: Mom! Mom looks at me. It didn't happen the way Tony said it did. Mom please believe me.

Mom: Take your hands off me. Now you're a little girl huh! Get out of this house. You are the disgrace of the family.

Dad: Wesley (my little brother) get her out. I don't want to see her anymore.

Tony and his girlfriend smirked. Everything that had happened between us was just a charade to discredit me. And I had stupidly thought that he was attracted to me, that he even felt something more for me. How stupid I had been. And Nelson? He wasn't looking at me. He was devastated, ashamed and also a little angry. The worst part is that I couldn't do anything. I lost Nelson but also and above all my family. They didn't want to hear from me anymore. But what was I going to do now? Where was I going? How was I going to live?

Me: Please Dad. Do not do that. No No No Dad please no no...

Nelson: Naomi Naomi wake up. Wake up Naomi.

Me: No no Dad no...

Nelson: Naomi calm down it's just a nightmare. I'm here calm down.

A nightmare ? Nelson was with me, lying next to me? So my family didn't disown me?

Nelson: I'll be fine honey. It was just a bad dream.

Me: Nelson are you still there?

Nelson: Of course I'm still here. Where do you want me to go at this hour? Tell me are you sure it's okay at home.

Me: Huh? Why ?

Nelson: You kept yelling "no daddy don't do that". Is there something wrong with your father? You can stay here just in case...

Me: No, I'm sure it's fine. A meaningless dream.

Nelson: Are you sure?

Me: Yes Nelson. There is no problem at home.

Nelson: Ok I believe you. Let's sleep now, it's only 5 o'clock.

I slept next to Nelson with a light heart. Too many emotions for me. What was this twisted life that I already wanted to live there? Sorry, my life was long before. Before closing my eyes to join the arms of Morpheus, I internally prayed to the Lord that he would help me not to stray from the right path.

* 7:30 a.m.

The alarm clock in my room had just rung. Nelson was still asleep to him. He must have been very tired with all his work and also the hectic night he had had. Between all his energy that he poured out on me and my nightmares, he really deserved to rest.

It was a new day for me. I had made a firm decision not to deprave myself with Tony anymore. And to help myself, I was going to do as I said, avoid Tony as much as possible until the wedding. After the wedding he had to go back to France. Nelson we are going to live our happy little life. And my plan began now. I had to leave before he woke up. Anyway, I had to help mom around the house today this morning before going to Kylie's for her birthday. She too I had to help her.

So I got up quickly, washed and got dressed. I couldn't leave without saying goodbye to Nelson so I woke him up.

Me: Nelson, I have to go.

Nelson: Now? Why ?

Me: I have to help Mom and also Kylie. It's his birthday today, I told you. Won't you pass?

Nelson: Oh sorry Honey I completely forgot to tell you. I'm traveling tonight.

What me ? What ?

Nelson: Business trip. I will be back on Tuesday.

Me: Hmm! I know you're taking over your dad's business but you're traveling and you don't tell me in advance. I'm going to start suspecting you.

Nelson: Haha! I'm sorry my heart. It is a very important journey. I will make a contract. To make up for it, I'm going to bring you back a very nice present.

Me: You are already trying to flatter me.

Nelson: And did I succeed? Do not get mad. On the other hand, you must apologize to your cousin. Give me my briefcase over there please.

I complied.

Nelson: Please find the time to buy Kylie a present from both of us ok? I take my flight at 3 p.m., I call you before I fly. Ask the driver to take you home, he must already be there.

Me: Ok. But your present had better be very big.

Nelson had really been getting busier these days. He who was very punctual no longer respected any date. He left constantly and often at crazy hours. But I understood him. Being an entrepreneur was certainly not easy. Especially since for him it was a commitment to his deceased father to whom he wanted to prove that he was up to it and also to his brother for whom he felt responsible.

When I left, Tony hadn't come out of his room yet, luckily for me. Roxanne, Nelson's housekeeper for twenty years now was already there. She was like a second mother to them. Despite her advanced age, it was out of the question for Nelson to let her go.

So she was more of a kind of governess. She managed the caretaker who also took care of the cleaning in the house, the gardener and the cook. It was mainly the kitchen that she supervised. She decided on the menu, prepared and showed the cook how to do it.

Roxanne: My daughter hello. How are you ?

Me: I'm going Roxanne and you?

Fifteen minutes later, I arrived home. Obviously Mom was already up reheating the food left over from the night before. I expected her to start the chatter about me because it was past 8 already. But no !

Mom: Are you home yet? Nelson let you go?

Me: Hmm! Didn't you say you wanted me to help you today? And then after I have to go to Kylie's, it's her birthday.

Mom: Housekeeping started today.

Me: The housewife? what housewife? And on a Saturday?

Mom: Yes it was Nelson who sent us the housekeeper. It surprised me myself.

Me: Nelson? Ok. So you don't need me anymore?

Mom: Instead of staying to take care of your husband, what did you come home to do?

Me: Yorr! mum did i know you had to have a housewife today. And then I tell you that I have to go to Kylie's. Is it a new marriage?

My mother Hey! Since the guy sent her a housekeeper for free, she plays Nelson's #1 fan. Hum! After when we say that women are easily corruptible.

So I was going to take the opportunity to rest for another hour and then get ready to go to Kylie's. I hadn't slept much last night and this little hour of sleep was going to do me really good and allow me who knows, to last all day.

11:00 ! Ahhhh really!

My one-hour sleep had actually lasted more than two hours. Kylie had even left me messages on WhatsApp to find out where I was. As I knew her, she was going to bitch for hours. Kylie had been friends since high school. Specifically the 6th. Today we were more than friends, but sisters. With her I had experienced almost everything. The first flirtations, the first loves, the first outings in clubs, the solo escapades of the house. This girl could blackmail me and get whatever she wanted from me and vice versa.

Speaking of getaways, I remember the day she had her probationary. I had taken back my second, because I had decided to take it easy. So she was a year ahead. Today we wanted to celebrate.

We were with Swann, a good friend of ours who had also had the probationary. Kylie and I didn't really have any facilities for going out. But we wanted to go out. So we put together one of our usual shots. I told my mother that I was going to Kylie who was having a little party for her probationary and Kylie who was telling her mother that there was a party at my house.

We were supposed to go to a continuous matinee but Kylie and I weren't supposed to come back in the morning. We wanted to be home at midnight. The atmosphere was too hot. All the winners of the probationary were outside. And when midnight came, and we expressed our need to go home, Swann and other friends convinced us that going home now was a risk. How we were going to be assaulted and everything. Anything !

It was just so we could stay. Especially since we got home at 4am. And that's where the trouble started. Kylie not having the keys to her house, could not go knocking at this hour. So we concluded that she would come to sleep at the house. We managed to discreetly open the house. As we were tiptoeing towards my room, we heard "

« Where are you coming from? ».

The kind that my heart went boom there, I could piss on myself. It was my mother. She had stayed in the dark in the living room waiting for me.

Mom: Oh!? Is it like that Miss? Are you sleeping already? In whose house?
