#4.

My name is Uyai. Here’s my story.

We hired Gold to play with our children on Sundays. We kept the babysitting arrangement until she left for college.

One Sunday, Ken wrote Gold a check triple her monthly pay. Believe it; I can still remember what happened that day. After two decades, my memory is fresh — "he wrote a check after we had a never-ending sex." Was he fantasizing about Gold while we were having sex?

Today, I can wrap my mind around what happened that day. I tagged Ken, "a professional manipulator."

The good news — Our son Zyion joined the family a few months after we moved to our new home. We custom-designed and built the house. I am so proud of the job my sister, Arina did with the design. My new home in Yellowpoints, NY is like day and night from my childhood home in Peacecake, NY.
