This is my sin, giving in to my own weaknesses, I thought as I lay peacefully in bed thinking about how intimate I got with sugar mama hours earlier. Today She tasted sweet, like oranges, liquid sunshine in my mouth as we kissed.

We did it as if it was our last time, she made good use of her experience which made it quite special and I can't seem to get it off my mind

I can't wait to see the surprise she said she has for me tomorrow morning

When my wife came to bed specially dressed for me in a very sexy lingerie, an ocean of guilt began to swallow me whole, knowing quite well that I am too exhausted to do anything with her. I quickly closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep, letting all her effort go to waste.

She tried to draw my attention to herself, but she gave up when she thought I had fallen asleep

There are two kinds of guilt. The kind that drowns you until you're useless, and the kind that fires your soul to purpose. Mine is an ocean for me to drown in.

I felt tired of waking up every day feeling like a traitor, a fraud, living a counterfeit existence that I'm not sure I want anymore. It just doesn't feel right

And tonight, I burn my mask, and as flickering flames ascend, under the witness of star-clouds, I reclaimed my true self. I decided to commit to being real and honest with my wife

I woke up the next morning with the intention of breaking up with sugar mama citou and mending my ways

I was trying to come up with a breakup plan when I heard the beep on my phone. I glanced at it and saw a message from sugar maama

"I know you won't pick up even if I called, I just wanted to tell you that your surprise is at your door step. Pick it up ASAP" she wrote, with a wink

When I read that, I knew sugar mama is up to no good. I hurried to the front door. On reaching there, My heart stopped, then it raced. Then came the shock of not understanding what's happening, then the shock of realizing precisely what's happening. The urge to give up and fear of destroying the beautiful life I have built start to fight, making space for some surprisingly irrational thoughts in between.

Some small rational part of me realized I was in deep trouble. It repeated the fact to me again and again. I did not want to think of what It means, I did not want to acknowledge what had happened here. I did not want to know what any of this meant.

Sure, there was a surprise waiting for me, but not the type I was expecting. This is the type that made my throat instantly went dry and my legs paralyzed

She dropped our son at my door step, he is the surprise she was talking about

With shaky hands, I managed to bring out my phone and I dialed her number.

"What game are you trying to play?" I shouted as soon as she picked up

"Calm down, I just thought it's time to be a father to your only son" she replied

"Don't do this to me, give me some time, please" I pleaded desperately

"No, you're keeping him. Clearly, your wife is not dying any time soon, You lied. I'm done waiting" she said coldly
