He had graduated and found a job in the City of High Elves. It was there that he met his first wife.
Annette was the prettiest elf I had ever seen, she was like a picture cut out of a movie scene. It was love at first sight, everything about her screamed perfect.
They began to go out on dates and dinners and eventually Dad proposed. She accepted and the two became engaged. They went on to get married. After birthing Darein, things started going south for them, well Dad mostly, he lost his job and a shit ton of money. It didn't take long for him to deteriorate. He crawled into a bottle. Annette left unable to bear his miserable self. Although at that time, she was pregnant with my step twin brothers.
It hurt me that I wasn't there to hold her hand as she gave life to my children. Annette is very sensitive to pain. She must have cried a lot. Oh poor Annette.
Dad tried to reach out to her but she left and moved planets before he could get a hold of her. All these went down in a span of two years.
Dad crawled further into his bottle, and that's when he met Mama. She was a bartender working shifts at a bar he frequents.
She wasn't as pretty as Annette but her eyes. Dear me, her eyes so bright yet so dark. She carried herself with grace, she looked so out of place in that shitty bar.
Dad began to go for counselling and slowly crawled out of his little bottle. Mama was working her last shift for the job when he decided to ask her out.
Lucky me! The day I had summoned enough courage to approach Giselle was the day she was working her last shift. Her slender fingers grabbed and placed shot glasses before as she poured me my usual. I told her I wasn't here to drink. Her cheeks reddened so much I thought they would burst when I told her my intentions.
Mama agreed and they started courting. He applied for a job and was accepted. Things started going smoothly again. Mama got pregnant. She birthed Eudora. That day he got a promotion letter and a new house. This house.
I thought I was dreaming. Our little baby girl brought fortune with her!
He signed the house under Eudora's name. He was happy. Too happy. A year to my birth year, He started receiving mails from Annette. She was demanding he footed the bills of his kids. She knew about us.
After leaving me for 6 good years, she's back . And angry too. I mean, we never divorced and all so legally I'm still her husband. I just found out I have two more kids with her. Twins. I can't let Giselle find out, we are too happy for the troubles to come.
He began diverting his money to fund his first wife. This went on til I was born. Til I clocked 11. Mama had noticed long ago that Dad was hiding something. It didn't take long for her to find out about Annette.
