Titles marked with the (FF) prefix are stories which has little to no build up of plot and character. It goes straight into the action. There are requests for stories that dive straight down into the thick of the action rather than go too much into the characters and what they do. I understand it’s different strokes for different folks, but i will try to cater to all preferences. FF, also stands for fast and furious will have shorter intros, just enough to read you into the scene before the action begins.
It will be dirtier, darker, and i may remove the preview altogether, or restrict it for subscribers only for some titles due to the nature of the story.
James girlfriend Lina was forced to marry Rajesh in a sham marriage. It was supposed to be temporary, they will separate once Rajesh gets his permanent residency in Singapore. However, things are rarely as simple as it seems.
My girlfriend Lina and i graduated from Ngee ann polytechnic together. While most of my friends went to the army, i was exempted. My body was just too weak to serve.
You won’t be able to tell that from the outside, i look normal and all but i have a hole in my heart. And i have allergy to shellfish, nuts, sometimes dust. Honestly, i don’t mind going for national service, i can still serve in other capacity but the medical checkup sort of revealed that i’ll be more of a liability to the nation.
I get breathless easily too, and when i have sex with my girlfriend, i last barely a minute. I get hard and excited easily, but i also finish easily.
Maybe 20-30 thrust and that’s it.
I want to last longer, but somethings are just beyond my control.
Lina and i joined the workforce immediately after graduation, landing a job in a office located in Little India. Our boss, Rajesh, is aware that both of us are dating but he didn’t mind as long as we do our job.
We coordinate import and export of goods, do a bit of logistics planning, some admin work, and we had to go out to run sales as well. It’s a small office of about 25, most of the staff are Indians, but everyone is nice.
There’re no politics and everyone just does their job.
Pay isn’t fantastic but given the amount of retrenchments everywhere, Lina and i were just happy to be able to keep our jobs.
We draw 2.4k each, and despite working for a full year, we had no increment. When we try to broach the subject with Rajesh, he will give excuses and avoided the issue. It’s the same for other colleagues, even his own nephew Negen who worked for him.
Rajesh will shout and start throwing things about when he gets stressed. While he doesn’t exactly take it out on the staff, it is us who have to clean up the mess he make after he’s done.
Rajesh, despite being in Singapore for so many years, have yet to get his permanent residency. He has appealed several times but it’s always turned down.
And his temper gets worse each time he gets a rejection from the ministry to inform him that the appeal or application has failed, again.
All the staff will try to keep out of his way when he was in one of his mood.
With a temper like that, i will say the country made a great choice in not granting him residency.
One day, Rajesh called Lina and i into his office.
I will never forget that day. It was a Friday evening, and we were getting ready to leave work and go for our date.
Lina and i intend to start planning for a BTO too and wanted to discuss finances and future plans now that we have been together for more than 3 years.
We never expect that meeting with Rajesh to derail all the plans we had.
Rajesh : Lina…James…sit…
James : wh..what is it boss?
Rajesh : I’m been thinking about this for a while, and my friend suggested something which i thought makes a lot of sense. My PR keeps getting rejected, i need to take a short cut.
Lina : huh?
James: ermm..why are you telling us this?
Rajesh gestured to Lina and gave it to us straight.
Rajesh : I want Lina to marry me.
It took several seconds for the news to sink in and a couple more before i exchanged look with my girlfriend.
James : what?
Lina : what?
Rajesh : It’s just a fake marriage. We stay married for a couple of years, once i get my PR, we seperate…and you all go on with whatever you have planned.
James: but…
Rajesh : I’ll make it worth your while, won’t make you do for free of course.
Rajesh offered to bump both our pay up to 2.8k immediately, and in a way, guaranteed our employment for the next 3 years.
Rajesh : all expenses i will pay. And…i will give you all a red packet of $8000.
Lina and i were at a loss for words.
James : i..er…
Lina : i…
The request was just so bizarre that we don’t even know what to say. It’s just so fuck up.
I mean, who asks this kind of favor from people?
This is not like ‘ can help me buy a bubble tea ?’ or ‘ can you help me dabao lunch?’ kind of request.
Rajesh : Think of it as a favor.
Rajesh did not even give us a chance to speak.
He stood up and said he will give us the weekend tot think about it.
Just before we left the office, he threw in a threat, albeit a veiled one.
Rajesh : economy not doing very well lately…people everywhere losing their jobs…you all need to think about job security seriously…
That bomb Rajesh dropped on us threw our entire weekend plans into disarray.
Over dinner, Lina and i literally stared at each other without a word until i finally broke the silence.
James: No…no need to even think about it. NO…
Lina : he’s going to increase both our pay to 2.8k, together with the 8000, we will be one step closer to getting our own flat.
James : we won’t be able to do it when you register your marriage with him!
Lina : what if we think of this 3 years as like a forced savings of sort. We will be guaranteed a job for 3 years, our CPF will probably have enough to get a resale flat immediately after that…
James : You are seriously considering it?
I asked in disbelief.
I was really upset that evening when i parted ways for Lina.
Just when i thought my weekend could not get worse, on Sunday, my girlfriend Lina sent me a text.
She asked for a 3k salary but Rajesh bargained down to 2.9k for both of us.
I immediately called Lina.
James: What did you do?
I could hear the hesitation over the phone but when it came out, it felt as if i was struck by lightning.
Lina : i…
James :you what?
Lina : I said yes…
