Don't take it Personal

Betrayed Desires

Ominous POV

Stephanie had just returned home, her petite body weary from an exhausting eight-hour shift at the call center. Her dark chocolate skin seemed to glisten in the soft glow of the hallway light as she closed the front door behind her, eager to kick off her white pump heels and change into something more comfortable.

Her boyfriend, Miller, was a solid 5ft 8 inches with a warm brown complexion, an electrician who often worked long hours himself. As she walked down the hallway toward the bedroom, she could hear strange noises emanating from behind the closed door. Intrigued and somewhat worried, she hesitated for a moment before pushing it open.

What Stephanie saw shattered her heart into a million pieces. Her breath caught in her throat as she stood frozen in the doorway. There, on the bedroom floor, were Miller and her own sister, Shellyann. They were both in the nude, tangled in an intimate embrace, their bodies moving in a way that left no room for doubt.

Stephanie's eyes welled up with tears, and she couldn't find her voice. The moans of passion that had drawn her in now hung heavily in the air, suffocating her.

She couldn't bear the sight any longer. Her voice trembling, she coughed loudly to announce her presence. Miller and Shellyann immediately sprang apart, their faces flushed with guilt and shame. They scrambled to grab their scattered clothes, their eyes avoiding Stephanie's gaze.

Miller stammered, "I didn't want you to find out like this, Steph." His voice was tinged with regret, but Stephanie couldn't bring herself to respond. Her body felt numb, her mind racing with disbelief. This wasn't the first time Miller had betrayed her trust, but to cheat on her with her own sister was a devastating low blow.

As the room fell into a heavy, awkward silence, Stephanie knew that her world had just crumbled around her, and the path ahead was uncertain, filled with pain and heartache.

Stephanie's POV

I retreated from the room, sensing that I had intruded upon their sanctuary. In a way, perhaps I had. My path led me to the closet, where I retrieved my empty suitcases. Carefully, I plucked my garments from their hangers and arranged them within the confines of the luggage. My sister, Stephanie, differed from me in both stature and complexion, a testament to our distinct paternity. At 5 feet 7 inches with a brown complexion, she now sported a black crop top paired with a denim skirt and black Bridgette sandals - her attire for her job as a waitress at the S Hotel.

"Steph, I truly apologize for not telling you," she admitted, her voice laced with remorse.

I chuckled, meeting her gaze. "Shelly, if you know what's good for you, keep your silence," I retorted, leaving no room for further discussion. With a resigned nod, she exited the room, leaving me to grapple with the unsettling knowledge.

As I continued packing my belongings, I overheard Miller mutter, "I'll call you, babe." His words sent a shiver down my spine, a poignant reminder of his betrayal. I couldn't help but laugh, though it was tainted with disgust.

With my dresser now bare, I moved to gather the rest of my possessions into the remaining suitcase. Just as I was making my way toward the bathroom, Miller intercepted my path, his presence an unwelcome intrusion.

"We need to talk, Steph," he declared earnestly, blocking my way.

Why did he assume I had any desire to engage in conversation? I listened as he began, "I should have ended our relationship the moment I found out that you and Shelly were sisters, but..." His words trailed off, leaving my thoughts to grapple with the revelation that their deceit had spanned seven long years.
