Career or family

March 31, 2022

Eden is a married woman with two daughters. Both of them are beautiful. The eldest is graduating while the other one will start her life at the university next year. Eden is an English teacher. She is smart, sexy, and has a strong personality. Her husband, Ramsey was working abroad and would only go home after three years. Now, everyone in the neighborhood noticed that Ramsey hasn't come home for a long time, not even when Eden's mom died. The neighbors only knew that Ramsey had children older than the two daughters that she had with Eden.

It seemed like Eden has been keeping this a secret for a long time. By her looks, Eden could marry a much better man. One that is manly, crazy rich, and handsome just like what she dreamed about but unfortunately, destiny will give you the opposite. Ramsey is very feminine and though he has not shown other signs of being gay. He loves to clean their home when he comes home from abroad. The way he walks, it seems like his shoes are fragile. His voice is soft too and he talks in a very calm manner.

Eden on the other hand is very loud. You would rather be dead than hear her nag. She is very particular with style and hygiene. Oh, she hates students who have a bad odor. She would shame them in class. Today, Eden still teaches. Her husband has never come home, her eldest at the university and the other one is a teen who seems to be out and about everyday.

In another story, there is Emily. She is Eden's cousin and an English teacher too. She is married to a police officer but they aren't blessed yet with a child. She badly wants one but for now she takes her focus to her niece and nephews. Eden is undeniably smarter than Emily. Their classmates and students would surely testify on that. But it is Emily who holds a higher rank in the teaching field. She has finished her doctor's degree. But no matter what she achieved, people still look up to Eden.

The two aren't in good terms. Eden hated Emily for achieving great things. For her, she is smarter than Emily. She just missed the chance of pursuing for higher position because her finances is enough for her kids. She knows her capabilities and that is exactly what makes her feel insecure. In her heart, she knows she can do better. She is better. Her resources were just limited. But even so, she has wonderful girls, her lucky charms. When she sees them, all her insecurities and worries are washed away.

Thank you for your time. Until the next read!
