As a junior, it shattered my heart to see her suffering, but I felt utterly helpless. So, when Angela hesitantly mentioned that other women were interested in me and asked if I could spend time with them, I agreed without thinking twice.
Angela shifted slightly in my arms, pulling me back to reality.
"Samuel, I love you, I really do," she said after a moment, her voice trembling. "But my mom's treatment still needs more money..."
Over the past year, I'd managed to earn quite a bit--tens of thousands--but I hadn't realized it still wasn't enough.
"Are there still women who want to spend time with me?" I asked, playfully ruffling Angela's hair. "I can always earn more."
She looked away, her eyes flickering with uncertainty. "Yeah, but... she wants you to..."
It took her a moment to continue. "She wants you to sleep with her."
"Did you agree to this?" I asked, taken aback.
Angela clutched my shirt, biting her lip as she nodded.
A whirlwind of emotions crashed over me. I understood it was all for her mother's sake, but I never expected Angela to actually want me to sleep with other women.
