After my morning bombshell of informing my parents Jade and I are involved. I could tell my dad wasn’t happy about the news, it was no surprise when he showed up in my office later in the day. I expected it. He casually sits as we both try to pretend like it’s the norm.

“So, the genie is out of the bottle,” he says.

“Dad, what are you talking about.” I know what he’s talking about, I want him to spell it out.

“Mariam, you are dating Mariam. Guess, that’s the reason I haven’t seen pictures of you with your usual women. No more soiling your royal oath,” he states like I’ve ever cared. Raheem is the one that keeps a low profile but behind the scenes, he’s worse than I am. I honestly believe he knows he’ll be the one wearing the crown, not me.

“Guess so.”

“You’ve been smart not to put her out there, that’s a good thing. When you do marry Nadra or the right woman of the right pedigree, you can keep her as a mistress. A win-win for all parties involved.” I had to do a double take to make sure I heard my dad right about Jade being my mistress. I wanted to laugh out loud, but I tapered my laugh and chuckled. He doesn’t know Jade. So, I turn the narrative.

“Is that what you do, Dad? Marry Mom and have a mistress?” I ask like maybe this is some information I’m only privy to as an adult male.

“No, son. I don’t have a mistress, just your mother, and I’m a happy man. You, however, need an edge over your cousin to wear the crown, and marrying Nadra will give you that edge. I understand you want Mariam. I doubt Nadra would fight you for having a mistress, as long as she’s queen. She’s born royalty and understands what it entails to be a queen.” He’s convinced himself that this is the logical thing to do.

Is he serious right now? or just baiting me, but the look on his face tells me he’s convinced and serious about the fact that I should marry Nadra and keep Jade as a mistress.

“That would be an easy and perfect scenario, the first problem with your suggestion is the fact Mariam is an all-or-nothing kind of woman, she won’t agree to be my mistress and I don’t think I want her to be my mistress.”

He frowns. Does he have any idea how the said women cannot mix? Nadra will throw a fit, if she finds out Jade is my mistress and I’m sure Jade would never speak to me again the moment I’m engaged to Nadra.

“Then, you will need to break things off with Mariam, before she starts saying she’s pregnant.” His tone is stern.

“Dad, as I said before, I don’t want Nadra. I’m very happy with Mariam and not to worry Mariam has no intention of getting pregnant anytime soon and she’s convinced our relationship has a shelf life of her college graduation day.
