File photo of a woman lost in thoughts

Dear GhanaWeb,

I’ve been having an affair with my boss for over two years now.

Our relationship started just a few months after I began working at the company, long before his son returned from school.

I didn’t even know he had a son. When the young man first came to the office, he didn’t introduce himself as such.

He simply asked me to tell his father that he wanted to see him, and I did exactly that. My boss also never told me afterward that the young man was his son.

The guy took my number when he was leaving, saying he appreciated my service and would love to be friends. He called soon after, and we started talking.

Before I knew it, I had fallen in love.

We started going out and even had sex several times, including an abortion already. We were together for ten months, he never mentioned that my boss was his father, and he didn't come to the workplace again until last month.

In the 11th month of our relationship, he showed up at the office again to see his father, but he didn’t tell me beforehand. It was a surprise visit.

That afternoon, I casually asked him what he always comes there to do. He laughed out loud and said, “Your boss is my father.” I couldn’t believe it. I was so shocked that I even doubted him at first.

When he was leaving, he walked out with my boss and said to him, “Your secretary doesn’t believe I’m your son. Please stand next to me so she can see the resemblance.” My boss just smiled and said, “Yes, he’s my son, my firstborn. You’ll be seeing him around a lot more from next year.”

My heart skipped a beat. I couldn’t say anything except force a smile. That’s when I really started noticing the resemblance, and everything began to click: the surname, certain things he had said, small clues I had overlooked.

I don’t think they’ve discussed me, because both of them are still dating me with the same energy. But I’ve started pulling back from my boss. The truth is, I never loved him; I was only in it for the benefits. His son, though, is everything I’ve ever wanted. He’s my dream man.

He’s so educated, smart, and gentle. I’ve never met a man like him. He’s made me realize that children born into wealth can actually know how to love better. He pampers me and makes me feel like a baby in an incubator, safe, warm, and protected.

I don’t believe he’s playing games with me. I truly think he loves me because he’s always there, doing everything he can to make me happy.

This man feels like my chance at real love. I keep telling myself that my husband has finally come. He wants to be with me, too, but I’m scared we may never work out because of my past affair with his father.

The man had slept with me several times. In his office, his car, hotels, and other places. He has gotten me pregnant twice and asked me to abort them. He just uses me anyhow, but he gives me good money.

Knowing what we have done, he can't let his son marry me. So I want to act smart, but what do I do? I can't let this chance slip from my hands. Will I ever get a good man again?

This guy is all I have and want to be with forever. I want to eliminate his father; I can do it easily. I will just serve us a drink after work, and after drinking, we have sex, and he dies when he gets home.

If he never mentions us to the son, the son will never know, and then he and I can marry. This is dangerous, I know, but what else can I do?

I also deserve some good things. I am scared, but I want to do it. Please, I’m helpless and I need advice.
