ÈGOÏSTE |18+ [English Version]

Chapter 37. "Ex."

Next to him is like going back to a house abandoned decades ago: everything seems forgotten, but it turns out you can still remember where the switches are, what floorboards creak, what windows stick.

Kathy Lett, "The Boy Who Fell to Earth."

On behalf of Viviana:

Tonight my father decided to throw a dinner party, if I may say so, and invite Edmund and his "wife." Why do I underline the word wife in parentheses, because I know Edmund and his approach to girls very well, and he has something to gain from her, for he would never marry a girl like that. Joanna is a very plain and ordinary girl, not like me, and I'm more than sure that Edmond will end up staying with me, because we weren't just messing around in the bathtub yesterday...

I decided to wear a very short dress and not to wear panties, so that Edmond could enjoy me and my charms, and I was not going to wear a bra, to show my lover that I love him and want him madly...

- Are you ready, V? - My father came into my bedroom.

- Not yet, why?

- Vi, honey," he walked up to me and stroked my head, "I know you have a soft spot for Edmund, but let's not interfere in their family life...

- What? Father, have you gone completely mad in your old age? - Edmond belongs to me, and I don't even want to think about who that mop is!

- Don't shout! Have some respect!

- No, I will have no respect for you, you betrayed me, you made me break up with Edmond. Then, a couple of years ago he was going back to America and you knew about it and you didn't even tell me, you lied that he decided not to say goodbye to me, you broke my heart, and now you're talking about me leaving him alone? Never in my life!

- Edmund is no match for you, you don't know who this man is at all! - He got angry and walked away.

I slammed my fist on my dressing table, why is my father doing this to me?

After all, I had met Edmond much earlier than this Joanna...

From Tony:

It's been a couple of days since Edmund left with Joanna and I became head of his office, I don't really do much here except make love to Stacy regularly two or three times a day. This babe drives me crazy, even though I know Stacy isn't who she says she is, but I enjoy spending time with her.

- Tony," the brown-haired girl walked in on me, "can you explain why the papers have Edmund's name on them and not yours? - Tossing me a folder on the table, she said.

- Edmund is the head of the company, I'm just his deputy.

- But why? - She sat down in front of me, - Do not you want to be the director of the company too? You are brothers.

- Not related...

- So what? You have a great relationship.

- What do you want, Stacy?

- I want you to get a cut of Edmund's company.

- That's not gonna happen.

- Come on, I know anything's possible. Besides, now that Ed's busy with his wife, they're gonna have kids and believe me, this company might just disappear.

- No, he's my brother. I'm not gonna do that to him.

- Well, you're not doing anything wrong, you're just getting your cut.
