Sometimes life takes you through things you wish never happened, for me it was my last toxic relationship. Let me start at the beginning.

Hi, my name is Emory Choi-Black I am a 20 year old. I am Jamaican and Korean, Mother being Jamaican and Father, being Korean.My parents apparently met in Korea whilst my mother was working in the Korean army to help pay for her university bills and my father, a businessman. I've never met them though as I am adopted, by two men, my Dad and Father Harry and Adrian. I love them so much and I appreciate everything they have done for me.

Anyway, I have always fanaticized about being in a happy loving relationship, since I was 15. My Father’s love for one another, was my inspiration I always looked up to their relationship however, their love was clearly rare because the only relationship I was in was a complete and utter disaster.

It was 2021, I was in Media class and I sit next to a guy named Gio Lopez and unfortunately, that day was my biggest mistake. The day went on like normal up until lunch. Gio, the guy whom I sit next too in Media, struck a conversation with me. It was not really anything memorable but all I remember was him walking up to me confidently and leading the conversation. Which I must admit, it was attractive that he was able to hold a conversation with me considering I was barely talking to him.

Anyway, the next day all he did the entire day was try to get my attention and unfortunately it worked. However, at the time I didn't see anything wrong with him or the situation because he was really and I mean really good at hiding his intentions.

I finally give in and talk to him, god I wish I didn't, looking back now. Our conversation was flowing, we were laughing and to be frank, I was happy at the time.

Throughout high school, guys did not converse with me. I was not the best looking and I often kept to myself so going into college, a guy talking to me was shocking,. Personally, I liked it like that so until Gio, I never talked to guys unless I needed to for a group project.

Two months passed, me and Gio were getting really close. He took me out on dates and even brought mev my favourite things. I started to really like him, all the love and affection he gave me blinded me to the point I would ditch my friends to be with him. I felt horrible, lost my friends and self-respect. I started to lose all of my independence I became very dependant on him, it was really bad.

One day, he took me out on something that was suppose to be a date, well that was what he had told me at the time. Looking back now, it was clearly a set up for what happened that day,. He took me to dinner; sweet talked me, even brought me gifts. I felt so loved. I seriously thought what we had was love, turned out to be a joke the ENTRE time.

Talking about what happened that night, give me PTSD. I hate talking about it, I feel dirty and ill every-time I speak upon it.

We finished our ''date'' and he ended up taking me to a cabin, I know I should not have

followed him there but I thought I could trust him, we were dating. As we got inside the cabin, he pushed me on he bed and without asking me if I wanted to partake in intercourse with him, he just ignored my cries and raped me. Hours went by and I was not able to move, him and his friends were taking turns on me as if I were a blunt

I felt humiliated.

Fortunately for me, I screamed loud enough for a 6,4 man to kick down a door in horror. Gio and his friends attempted to run but this mysterious guy had already called the police as he suspected something was happening. As Gio and his friends were dragged out by the police, the guy ran towards me whilst taking off his jacket and said.

''****, I am so sorry you had to endure that, you are strong.'' As he said that, I passed out. I was exhausted, I went through 3 hours of un-consensual sex.

5 hours later, I wake up in a humongous room with a man holding my hand while sitting on a chair next to the bed I was sleeping on. Before I say thank you, I said,

'' Lay next to me''.

The man did not respond, he was still asleep as he stayed up all night to ensure Emory is okay and safd.

“I can't believe he stayed with me the entire time I was asleep I don’t even know him. Why is he doing this for me he could’ve easily left me to suffer but he didn’t.”

The mysterious guy woke up and stares at Emory.

“ hey are you good now? I was really worried about you back there I’m glad I came in time.” he whispered with his raspy morning voice.

“ hey yeah I’m good I’m just wondering how did you even know I was there?“ Emory shamefully said.

” I heard people talking about a scream I was on a walk. I usually take a walk in forest because it’s quiet and no one could bother me”

It goes silent, none of them talk they just look at one another. Emory taps him on his shoulder and says

“ Hey, can you lay on the bed with me we can put a wall In between us, don't worry.”

He turns his head in confusion. “Uh sure” he says as he pulls himself up onto the bed using his entire body weight.

“Shit he smells good”

“Sorry, what did you say?”.

Emory slowly turns her head towards him, and embarrassingly says; “Shit, did I say that out loud I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to, it was meant to be my head”.

The man lets out a chuckle. “Gosh, you are a facinating woman aren’t you darling.”

“ anyway sweetheart, I have to run I have someone who could drive you back home please be careful”

As he says that he gets out of the bed and leave the bedroom leaving her confused.

“What just happened?” Emory thinks to herself as she hears the door slam behind the man.

Two years have gone by since she last saw that mysterious man who had saved her that day she has not stopped thinking about him since. He just disappeared, didn’t even say goodbye.

Emory Choi is it now in her last year of university, she cannot wait to graduate because she already has a job lined up for her.

Emory’s two fathers are very famous. One of them was a famous yakuza whilst her other father became in famous idol in his early 20s. Her dad Harry gave up being yakuza like his father, years before she was born and he became a very successful businessman before he had businesses, but they weren’t all legit he now owns over 1000 restaurants all over the world. 10 hotels and many resorts.

Emory has always looked up to her dads, especially Adrian . She wants to be a director. When she grows up, she wants to be in the media industry. It’s something she’s always had an interest in so thankfully she managed to get a job at ‘Jones Entertainment’.

”Fathers, I’m home.” Emory shouts as she gets inside the house. None of them answer. She’s used to this considering she knows what they’re probably doing.

“ I hope you two are decent I’m coming in your room”. Before she open the door, she hears rushing around, as if they’re trying to figure out where they put their clothes.

“ gosh why do you always have to sneak up on us sweetheart?” Harry said as he kisses her on her forehead. “ so how was university?” Harry excitingly says.

“ It was good I’m glad it’s my final year though I’m excited to join “Jones Entertainment”. Emory said with a smile on her face.

“ I hope you know baby girl, me and your father will always support anything you do. You are a little girl” Adrian says as he tears up. Have a notices and tried to comfort him by bringing him in for a hug.

“Daaad you do realise I’m 23 in three weeks right?” Emory say as her face goes bright red.” as she said that her dad Adrian breaks down and murmurs. “I- I know *sniffles* I can’t believe my little princess is growing up” he tries to form a proper sentence without completely broken down.

” Anyways off you go baby, dinner is ready downstairs all you need to do is heat it up whilst you eat. I will try to calm down. Your father is he is crying again”

“Emory gives her father, Adrian, a hug and hurry is downstairs to eat her meal”.

“There there” Harry said, whilst patting his husband, Adrian on the back.

“ I cannot believe I have one more week left of university as much as I’m sad I’m so excited I get to finally get do the job I want”

A week goes by and Emory is graduating university had two fathers. Harry and Adrian comes to see her with flowers. Obviously Adrian is breaking down whilst Harry is trying to keep composure until they get home at least”

“ Oh our little baby is grown up, she’s graduated and she’s 23 in two weeks. Oh when did the years go so quick?” Harry says smiling. “Dads, I’m so excited to start my new job I’ve been wanting to work there for so many years” Emory expresses with a bright grin on her face. “ I hope you know baby that was so proud of you. You work so hard to get where you are now you endured so much to get here.

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you guys, Emory told her parents, what had happened that day here’s how it went.

2 years ago:

Emory runs upstairs crying she couldn’t help herself. She kept it in on her way back home, but as soon as she open the door, she didn’t have the energy to hold it in. She slides on the floor, sobbing, remembering what just happened to her 24 hours beforehand, how to Father’s van down the stairs, after hearing the cries of their daughter.

“Oh my god Baby are you okay? Why are you crying”

Before telling her fathers why she’s in a state, she takes a deep breath and says: “don’t be mad, I am okay now I just remembered what happened”.

Her dads looked at one another worryingly and hesitantly replied with; “Okay we won’t just please tell us we are worried baby”.

Emory bites her lip uncomfortably.

“I was raped 2 years ago” I was in college. 18, it was the worst thing I had ever had to endure, crying; begging and screaming for help as they held me down pumping their dicks into me.

Adrian collapsed with tears in his eyes as Harry clenched his fists in anger.

Emory looks up at her fathers who look absolutely devastated and distraught.

“DAD are you okay? God I am so sorry” Emory runs to her Father Adrian who is uncontrollably crying after hearing what Emory had told them.

“Baby are you okay though, I know that took so much courage to tell us” Harry shares.

“I am okay dad, some guy saved me that day and stayed with me until I woke up.”

Adrian suddenly sat up and placed his hand on Emory desperately and shouts: “DO YOU KNOW OF HIS NAME, I WANT TO THANK HIM”.

“Calm down darling” Harry suggests.

“I don’t know, I didn’t ask. I was just relieved I was saved”. “That is what’s important or us baby. Now give your old men a hug”.

Emory desperately runs to her fathers with tears floating in her eyes. She holds her hands over her two father shoulders.

They don’t move instead, they just hold one another thanking god for their happiness and their daughter’s willingness.

Back to present times

“Dad? Father? I am going out I will text you when I get to my destination.” Emory Shouts as she runs out ther front door.

Emory makes her way swiftly to the cafe as she’s meeting her best friend Rosalina. On her way to meet her bestfriend, She bumps into a rather large man. As she looks up, she hears a familiar voice.

Her head jerks up and without her control, a smile creeps up upon her face as she notices whom she just bumped into.

“IT IS YOU, THE MAN WHO SAVED ME 2 years ago” Emory’s eyes start welling saying that sentence.

The man doesn’t say anything, he just watches her, admiring her body language. “Hi nice to see you’re doing okay now darling” that was the first thing he said to her since that night.

(Darling? Is he flirting with me!) Emory muttered to herself. ” I am doing okay now thanks to you. Could I buy you a coffee sometime?” Emory volunteered. Before responding, he places his hand behind his neck and scratches it. “I mean sure why not, it’s a date”. “Take my number” Emory reaches out for his phone and typed her number in it.

“Call me whenever you want that coffee handsome”.

Emory walks off with a smile on her face, leaving him in shock.

2 weeks has past and still no call from the handsome guy who saved her 2 years ago. Well, that was the case before today. As she is getting ready to go out shopping with her fathers, Emory gets a call from an unknown number. She picks it up hesitantly: “Hello who may this be?” Emory says.

“Why hello darling, sorry for not calling sooner, work has been tiring. Anyways, do you still want that coffee date? If so, meet me at Town center today.” “Oh well I have somewhere to g-“ Before she could finish her sentence, he had already hung up the phone, not taking no for an answer.

“Uhm Dad, Father. I regret to say, I can not come along I have somewhere to go: I will make sure I message you though.” Emory kisses her parents on the cheek and runs off out the door.

Emory makes her way to town Center to meet up with that guy. She is nervous she’s never met up by herself before let alone someone she barely knows she feels her face burning up, the close as she gets to town.

Before she can call him to ask where he is, someone comes up behind her.

“You really need to check your surroundings my love, you could’ve gotten kidnapped” the mysterious guy says with a cunning smirk on his face.

“ Well you probably shouldn’t be sneaking up on people” Emory snickers. “ touché” he says laughing.

“ Before I go with you anywhere, could I get your name?” Emory demands. “Could you get my name? No you couldn’t, but I can give you my name”. “ that’s literally what I said I just worded it differently. Are you always a smart ass” Emory said irritatingly”

“Some may say I am, but I don’t think so however, My name is Enzo, Enzo Jones”

“ Enzo Jones? I like that name, where is your family from?” Emory questioned Enzo. “Japan and Italy, My father is Japanese and my mother is Italian.”

“Woah, what a mix,” Emory says in admiration.

”What about you, where are you from?” Enzo spoke.

“Well, I am a mix of Korean and Jamaican but I’ve never met my parents.” “Who raised you then?” Enzo eagerly asked.

“Well, I am adopted. Two men adopted my fathers; Harry and Adrian black. My dad Adrian is Korean and my father Harry, is Italian.”

“Wait your parents are HARRY AND ADRIAN BLACK??, they run a multimillion business”

“You know who my parents are?” Emory says in shock.

“Of course I do darling, they are one of the most famous people currently, I’ve admired them for years and so have my parents.”

Enzo and Emory bonded over Emory’s parents for the majority of the “date” until he changed the subject back to her. “Enough about your parents, what are your dreams and goals in life?”

“Well, since I was young I have always wanted to be a director. So that’s what I want to do. I recently got into “Jones Entertainment”. As she said that, Enzo shot up and said: “Wait, you’re now at Jones Entertainment that’s my business my family business the world is so small, I can’t believe it”. Emory looked shocked. She didn’t say anything, and when she did all she said was.

“ yeah, the world is small.” She looks disappointed she’s doubting her skills she thinks maybe he found out who she was beforehand and helped her get in.

“ hey, I know what you’re thinking no I didn’t know who you were beforehand. It’s really hard to get into Jones entertainment and I would never do a favour like that. If anyone doesn’t matter how much I like them we need strong and smart people in this industry, and I guess you were that person”

She doesn’t say anything, it’s like he'd read her mind that he knew she was going to doubt her ability. Who is he exactly and why does he believe in her so much?

“ I’ve got a question, be honest with me,” Emory stated. Enzo replies, “Yeah of course what’s the question darling?” “ did you know who I was beforehand before you saved me years ago?”

“ No darling, I didn’t I just heard screaming and I wanted to save you. It was the best thing to do, the right thing to do” Emory smirks, she is happy, and she is glad they made their way to each other again.

“ thank you for being honest with me, unfortunately, have to go through my dad’s have been blowing up my phone like crazy”

“ Um hey, I know we’ve just met up again but can I speak to your fathers real quick?” Enzo asked quietly.

“Uh? Sure, I guess you can is no reason why I won’t let you”

they finish off what they have eaten. They make their way back to her family home on the way. They just talk about anything and everything that life and what they did in school. What they aspire to be.

As they get towards the house, her father Adrian is waiting for her. “ Hey baby, you’re back… oh? Who is this?” Adrian said slyly. “ hey, Mr. Black, I’m your daughter’s friend I was the one who she was meeting up with today. We went to get some coffee and to eat”

“ Would you like to come inside, boy?” “ Yes please, sir I have something to discuss with you and your husband.” Enzo walks inside.

Adrian turns to his daughter and says: “ how does he already know you’ve got two gay parents? You never tell people on the first meeting.”

“ I don’t know, I just felt comfortable when telling him I ended up telling him a lot anyway I have to study, I will talk to you later bye love you”

Emory hurries up to her room she doesn’t know what to think about Enzo meeting her family, the two most important people in her life, her two fathers

Back to Enzo, and Emory’s parents, they are sitting in the living room silently no one speaking they are just observing. Harry speaks first. “ so boy who do I owe this pleasure to?” “ Hi my name is Enzo, Jones, and I am the person who helped your daughter in that disgusting incident years ago.”

Adrian and Harry just stared at him Adrian stood up got on his knees and bowed to him almost in tears saying thank you.

“ oh my God, that was you you are the person who saved my daughter she could’ve died that day if you didn’t help her, I owe you my life, you saved my princess” How we went down with him and thanked him.

“ I appreciate everything you have done not many people would have had the balls to help, but you did, and I want to thank you for it. We were so worried about her and when she told us Adrian, especially didn’t know how to take it but seeing you were a person to help her makes us happy.”

“ thank you for that but honestly there’s no need to thank me. I just did what anyone else should have done and your daughter is quite interesting. She’s so happy but she thinks down on herself. She thinks she is worth nothing and I hate that I want to be the one to teach her otherwise if you would let me”

Adrian, and have a look at one another, they gave each other a look. Enzo just watches them, and he cannot figure out what they are signalling to one another then suddenly they turn around and say to Enzo “You have our blessing son”.

Enzo smiles and just says, “Thank you I won’t let you down”. how many replies and confidently says ” I know you won’t anyways I know you want to go and say goodbye to her she’s upstairs in the room on the left. You have 10 minutes ”

Enzo gets up and leave the room walking upstairs he thinks to himsel, “ that went better than I thought. I’m glad I got their blessing now that’s all I needed to pursue her”

“ My darling Emory Choi-Black”
