I made a terrible mistake of going to bed with my boyfriend’s dad before we started dating.
David was the only son of a wealthy business tycoon. His mom was late.
David and I were just friends at first but somewhere along the way, we completely fell in love with each other. However, that was after I had made the grave mistake.
I met David’s father the first time he invited me over to his place. His dad, Chief Bennett was a jovial, good looking and wealthy man.
Chief Bennett gave me his complimentary card unknown to his son, David when I was leaving their home on that very first day. I didn’t tell his son because I know it will upset him and besides, I was eager to speak with the dad again.
The following day, I called David’s dad at work and he sounded nice on the phone. He asked if I was close by and I replied that I was. So, he invited me over to his office and then took me out on a lunch date at one of the exotic restaurants.
We spoke in length and then we drove back to his office where he offered me a bundle of N1,000 notes. I was so surprised and grateful at the same time.
Few days later, Chief Bennett called me but this time he sounded serious. He asked me about the nature of my relationship with his son. I replied him that we were just casual friends. That was when he asked me if I was free for the weekend and that he wanted me to accompany him to his club house. I accepted because of my greed for more money.
That was how I spend the weekend with my friend’s dad at the club house. We had few drinks and both of us were lost in the moment, only to wake up to realise that I had slept with him.
I felt bad about it. I only wanted the money and never knew it would cost me my body.
Chief Bennett saw the uneasiness in me and apologised for the unexpected situation. We both agreed that such shouldn’t repeat itself and to keep it secret.
David was very nice to me. I couldn’t bring myself to tell him about it because it might ruin our friendship.
Some months later, I started developing feelings for David and so was he. He asked me out frequently and it was during one of the dates that he asked me to be his girlfriend. I accepted his request because I was already in love with him.
We kept our relationship outside his home. I always turn down his offer to visit him in his house and he wasn’t happy about it. Unknown to him, it was because of the mistake I made with his dad.
I feel guilty of keeping the secret away from him. I should have told him about it before we developed feelings for each other. I owe him an explanation but how do I tell him about the one time affair I had with his dad?
David has been open to me and keeping the truth about the reason for avoiding to see him at his father’s house will only increase his suspicion.
Telling him might cause strife between him and his Dad. I may also lose him in the long run if he finds out about it.
What should I do now? I feel the burden of the guilt weighing me down and I am clueless of how best to approach the matter.
