A sense of loneliness washes over me as i get up to collect my degree at the podium after my name is called.
Not having anyone scream for you in support other than your college mates on such a special day makes me feel alone,dont get me wrong i have special people in my life ,its just that duty calls and they could not be here to celebrate me.Alex my fiancé is in France finalizing a new merger for the firm he works for in DC which is where i am going to start my internship on Monday since i have my degree now.Well Candice is visiting her boyfriend in DC to also go ring shopping with her cousins who just got engaged,so both of them cant be here and the other girls are at their work and cant come to New york for my graduation and my family ,well lets just say thats a very long painful story for another time because right now this queen just want to get her degree and go home and celebrate my achievement alone until my man comes back,and i am thrilled to be going back to DC and say goodbye to New York.
I collect my degree and my fellow graduates scream for me as i lift it in the air beaming with joy and pride and their joy for me melts my heart.I guess getting along with everyone has its pecks because i don't feel so alone without any family around to cheer for me because of them .
I walk back to my chair and collect my handbag and smile blowing kisses to my mates as a goodbye.
'This is it Si,you are now employable and ready for life even if you are a bit late but you got the degree' ,let's just say i am the oldest amonst my pears.I thought to myself as i make my way to the vast parking lot where my porsche Cayenne is parked with all my belongings packed in there ready to go back home and say goodbye to these past amazing four years in New york.
I get in my car and start the almost five hour long journey back home ,i have my snacks for the road and i take it slow since i have got time ,no need to rush.
I have my music playing loud enough so that i can sing along and keep boredom at bay,because i know i am not great with long drives and i know it enough to keep myself entertained with bob Marley,nina Simone,camilla Cab and abdullah ibrahim plasting through my stereo.
I try calling Candice,Thandeka,Racheal and Bailey my friends on audio just to tell them i was coming home but no-one answers ,so i continue with my music.
It takes five and half hours to reach home in George Town ,i was driving slow but did not feel it at all,my heart warms up as i get onto p street ,i can literally smell my home ,bed ,clothes and my garden,this has become my favourite place since three years ago i moved in with Alex from my small shared apartment in columbia heights.
I get home and park my car next to Alex's and there is one other car i have not seen before maybe he decided to get himself a lexus i think to myself as i exit my sit and go around to the passenger sit picking up my valuables and i put my key in the door but its unlocked so i opend and get in .
I think the cleaning lady is still here since its not yet four in the afternoon.I walk straight towards my bedroom as i am in need of a shower before i go and fix myself food.
As i get closer to the bedroom i hear"shit,she is here"i am not too sure i heard correctly so i listen again but i cant pick up the exact words because they are now a whisper.
'I hope she does not bring her boyfriend here when she is suppose to clean only.Wanting to be certain ,i push the door open and boy,i couldn't have been more wrong.

Elin spent twenty years deeply loving her husband, finally marrying him just as she'd always dreamed. But reality shattered her illusions—he wasn't the man she believed. Instead, he callously destroyed her family, crushing her heart beyond repair. At her lowest point, Ruben, equally betrayed that night, approached her steadily. "Marry me, Elin. I'll help you take revenge." Yet, after their wedding, she quickly discovered he was dangerously unpredictable. "I made a mistake. Let's divorce..." Ruben slid his arm possessively around her waist, whispering a chilling promise, "Only in death."
She thought she was the love of his life, and he became the love of her life that fateful day she had seen him at the pack's party. Selene Grace was only a replica of Alpha Leo's real mate, and when he spotted her, Leo immediately claimed her as his Luna in order to suppress the rumors of him being mateless. Being unable to conceive turns Selene's marriage into a nightmare, and as if that wasn't enough, Alpha Leo finally reunites with his long time lover and mate, rejecting a pregnant Selene as a result. 5 years later, Selene, a now successful doctor, receives an invitation to the moon shadow pack in order to rid the pack of a deadly disease which has struck it. Will Selene return back to the pack which had caused her so much pain, and what would she do when she realizes that she is mated to the Alpha who had betrayed her in the past?
For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
Elena, once a pampered heiress, suddenly lost everything when the real daughter framed her, her fiancé ridiculed her, and her adoptive parents threw her out. They all wanted to see her fall. But Elena unveiled her true identity: the heiress of a massive fortune, famed hacker, top jewelry designer, secret author, and gifted doctor. Horrified by her glorious comeback, her adoptive parents demanded half her newfound wealth. Elena exposed their cruelty and refused. Her ex pleaded for a second chance, but she scoffed, “Do you think you deserve it?” Then a powerful magnate gently proposed, “Marry me?”
"I've warned you from the beginning. Don't marry him, but you won't listen." She stood close to me and smiled with concern. "You are not a woman worthy of a man as handsome, rich, smart, and virile as Blaze." My whole body trembled at her words. "Have you no shame?" I asked in a quivering voice. "Take a good look at yourself, Heather." She looked at me in the mirror. "You can't even look at your ugly face. Do you think Blaze can endure a lifetime of looking at that face?" Heather Bailey had a surprise from her husband that night: a divorce agreement. After a year of marriage and facing ups and downs, she couldn't believe Blaze intended to divorce her. But she was devastated when she saw him gazing lovingly at another woman because that person was closest to her. Shortly after she put her signature on their divorce papers, shock waves caught her up. Her flower shop was severely burnt, beyond repair. Her father's company collapsed, and her parents blamed her. She struggled to rebuild her life from the ground up and became more successful than ever. Having many customers who came from influential families, she started her action against Blaze. She won the very thing he wanted. But that was just the beginning.
