This is a story about an open-relationship between an unwilling prostitute and a married man. 


He was in an open marriage, but she's not the wife. To be one of the many partners of a man committed to another woman was her role. 


She wanted to hide her feelings that were starting to grow, her longing to be by his side, and lastly herself, by virtue of an open relationship. 


However, it was all for naught. When everything came to light, she desired to end the relationship they had. Her last words echoed through his mind as she bid him farewell through her mournful eyes. 


"If only I hadn't met you, I wouldn't be hurting this badly."

A Rich Man's Lover

Syn took all the time she could to think as she went up the stairs. Every step that she put forward, another line of thought needing thorough consideration appears in her mind.

'No, she won't buy that excuse. I have to find a proper one -- A flawless excuse that will make her believe.' The lady bit her bottom lip ever so slightly, her eyes watery from the fear that was ceaselessly prickling her skin. 'Failing is not an option. If I make a slip-up, my mommy will do that again. She should never do that again.'

What Syn meant by the word again was a story to tell for another time. The record of that certain happening in their lives was pushed at the back of her head, placed in a trove locked with a rusting bolt.

She didn't expect that the memory would free itself.

The lady was not ready to confront it.

Syn had not once recovered from the trauma she suffered that day.
