Family Secrets

It was one summer morning; beautiful and lovely. Everyone was happy sitting at the breakfast table.  Sharon  was however not happy, and she suddenly burst out, “Mum am pregnant!”  Everyone was startled. You see,  Sharon  was one of the best behaved girls and she did not even have a boyfriend. At least that is what they all thought. The news of her being pregnant was not received well by her parents. Her mother was horrified and decided that they should get rid of it. As usual,  Sharon  did not want to go against her mother and so, she went ahead and terminated the pregnancy. She continued with her studies and that incident was kept as a deep family secret. She later forgot about it and even got married to a successful businessman. Everything was going on well for her. She had a beautiful family, business was doing great and her two children, Janice and James were adorable. Years later, at the breakfast table one summer morning, Janice a...

It was almost one year since Jackie gave birth to her beautiful baby girl. The baby daddy had not yet seen this baby or done anything for her. In desperation, Jackie called him for assistance since she was going through a rough patch in her life; she was jobless and could hardly pay her bills.  Her baby Daddy disappointed her. He did not respond to her pleas. “I don’t have money!” he said. There was a time in Jackie’s life when she had all the money. She led a very comfortable life. She did not lack anything. But you see life changes. You can never know what tomorrow holds. If someone told Jackie that she would become a single mother and jobless, with no source of income, she could have laughed it off because she had never pictured herself without a source of income let alone being a single mother. Jackie did not despair; she made one decision to make sure that her daughter never lacks anything. She went down on her knees and poured out her heart and hurt to God. She cri...

Look before you leap. Those were the very words Michael, Caroline’s dad said to her before she left the house that morning. As usual, she did not pay much attention to him. Throwing every caution to the wind, she went about her day without much care of what she was doing and how it was affecting others. Toward the end of the day, she saw a tall, dark, handsome young man get out of a black Lamborghini Veneno Roadster .  She admired him. As she was standing there starring, their eyes met. Their chemistry was impeccable.  Driven by passion, it was more of lust, they quickly exchanged their contacts and within minutes, they had done the forbidden act. Caroline had formed the habit of sleeping around with men. It did not matter who the man was or how long they had known each other. She returned home that evening feeling like she had conquered that day.  Darien  noticed that her sister was happier than usual that evening. She wanted Caroline to share her joy wi...

Patrick was going through a difficult time in his life. His parents were going through a divorce and no one was really paying attention to him. Some of his friends were urging him to take some drugs to ease up the tension within him. They told him the drugs could help him relax and even concentrate in class in addition to having a constant flow of energy. He was hesitant at first, but since his friends were already taking the drugs, he decided to join in. When he first tried it, he became very ill and after medical attention, he said he would never use drugs again. Time went by and finally, his parents got divorced. His mother decided to relocate to Asia while his father opted to venture into more businesses. Ultimately, Patrick was left lonely since his mother was no longer around while his father was always going from one business meeting to another. He then decided to indulge in his studies. He did his assignments in time, read ahead of the teacher, joined study groups and ev...
