He had an accident and broke one leg. He was in the hospital for months before he was discharged, still unable to walk. He had to go through physiotherapy but because his wife was very busy working to take care of the family, she contracted me to take care of him while she was at work.

It was easy for me to do that because I lived very close. I had to help with his food and get him ready for physio. After that, I had to stick around and run errands for him. I was paid monthly to do that.

Just one week into my job, this man wanted to sleep with me. He couldn’t walk properly. I had to support his weight before he could take simple steps, but this man had the mouth and zeal to ask me to do crazy things with him.

He said because of his condition, his wife had abandoned his emotional needs and couldn’t remember the last time she made herself available to him. He was virtually begging me to accept and even offered money.

He threw the money at me and said, “Just this once and take it away.” I needed money, but I couldn’t bring myself to take it. I thanked him and said I couldn’t do that to the woman who employed me. He said, “So you want to lose your job?” I shook my head. He said if I didn’t do it, he would make his wife sack me.

True to his words, a few days later, the woman asked me to leave. She said her husband had been making complaints about how I would leave him alone and go to my house and only come when it was almost noon. I was hurt but didn’t say anything.

A few weeks later, the woman came back asking me what really happened, she wanted to know if her husband had ever tried to have his way with me. I shook my head. She begged me to tell the truth. I said there was no truth to be told.

She had brought in another woman, way older than I am, and the man had tried to do it to her too. The woman reported him to his wife, so it dawned on her that I might have suffered the same issue.
