The Burden Chapter 1 The Bar

"So, why did you leave her?" He asked, his bottle half full, burnt fingers and a big bulge on his right eye, he was staring at me questioningly, and as much as I tried to avoid his eyes, they still pried, as if telling me that there was no escape but, to tell the truth.

" I didn't leave her," I muttered

Then stared at the beautiful girls dancing half-naked at the bar stage, my mouth was watery and my eyes wide awake, even in the dimmed bar, I could still see their half-covered protruding breasts whose nipples were threatening to tear the piece of linen they call a bra, I could feel my blood warming and Mr. D rising to grace the occasion. For once, after a tiresome day, I was glad that my mind could live again, even if it was for a moment.

"Look here boy," I was awakened from my dream, one that I was about to dive in headfirst. "You haven't answered my question."

"Uhm..., can I first use the gents?" I asked uneasily, he just waved his hands and I left in a hurry, Mr. D. was in full swing and I had to calm him down before hell broke loose. anyway, it was dark, who cared.

Here I stood in front of the mirror, watching my reflection with admiration, my beards were growing the way I wanted, and now, my friends won't laugh at me.

I shrugged, washed my hands, and went back to the bar, I swore to enjoy myself here rather than answering stupid questions from strangers.

The bar was half full and almost all the front seats were occupied.

***

Forgive my bad manners, I haven't introduced this man who has been asking questions endlessly.

He goes by the name Mr. Barigo Matana aka The Fixer, My friend Wengstar had introduced him to me for some boy's business.

He was a giant of a man with a thick mustache, I have never seen him smile, leave alone laugh, I can count the number of times I've seen him sober but that's nothing worth remembering, I prefer him drunk.

This was the man who was my therapist, or Savior as Wengstar puts it.

I took my seat next to Matana, a beautiful dark-skinned girl was sitting on his lap holding a glass of tequila, she seemed happy and drowsy.

Matana was smoking a piece of Bongani Cigar and blowing off smoke into the air rudely.

"Hey boys, you're back"

I nodded.

"Do you want some fun?" he asked

Of course, I wanted some fun, I wanted to dance and touch breasts, I wanted to have a threesome if not a foursome, that was the fun I wanted, I wanted to taste all the petite girls dancing on the stage, after all, for only a few pennies, I'll be gladly enjoying my penis in their well-kept goodies.

"No, I'm okay." I bloated out

He kept quiet, the music was loud, the club was smoky and beautiful girls were roaming.

I poured some tequila in my glass and gulped it down my throat, I wanted to be so drunk that Matana wouldn't bother asking me stupid questions.

The night was young

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."
