The strange Lady took me home that night. As we stopped in front of my gate, I was reluctant to get down. She was talking to me after handling me a card.“…This is my business card, just in case you need someone to talk to. My name is Lydia. I live with my family…my husband and two sons close to the restaurant where I work. Listen to me, this is not the end of life….i understand how painful and thorn you are right now but give yourself time, you will be fine. You are beautiful and will get over all this. Is his loss not yours, don’t blame yourself for any of this. He was blind not to see the good woman in you. I can lead you inside if you want… I told her I was alright, I got down and walk into my gate. The heel shoe I wore was beginning to annoy me just like everything was annoying me.I removed the shoe, carried it in my hands and walked barefooted.It was after the security man opened the gate and I entered I heard Lydia driving away.The security man was saying something, probab
I even forgot I was supposed to be at work today, I would have called to inform them if I can’t make it down but I was carried away with my present trouble and did not remember work.I picked up and explained to them that I was not feeling well. I apologies for not calling earlier before the call ended.After the office call, I try calling Richard again, after the phone rang twice he did not pick I tried the third time and he picked up.“Hello Rich, Good morning… I greeted him and hoped that yesterday was a mix-up. I was even ready to let go of whatever he said. I just want him back, I can’t afford to lose him, how will I even live without Richard. He was my happiness and ever since yesterday I have being so sad that I forgot what happiness feels like. But listening to his voice will bring back the lost color to my life.“Becca, why are you calling me? I told you that it was over between us yesterday and there is nothing you will do or say that will make us come back together. I have
I later spoke with Anita, I told her about my break up with Richard and how difficult it has been for me.I also asked her about the earrings and how the information concerning my boss friend got to Richard after Jojo told her about it.Anita denied of ever getting such information from Jojo, Anita said she did not borrow any ear rings from her either.“Since you are not the one…then who else? Jojo told me that…Anita quickly interrupted me.“Forget about whatever Jojo said to you Becca, or you can still choose to believe her if you want. The last time I saw Jojo has being over two weeks, we had a quarreled over something and I stopped going to her place ever since and focused on my life. She did not say anything to me concerning your boss or his friend and she cannot even tell me because I detest her. I know you will believe her over me, is your choice, I won’t tell you what to do Becca. Jojo wears long ear rings, I don’t… except during a party or I’m attending an event. I work from
I asked Jojo what really happened between her and Anita but she beat around and did not tell me the exact problem.Anita has been with me for the past two weeks voluntarily. She has being very helpful and we stay together every weekend or go out if we have anywhere to go. I don’t have any reason to suspect Anita and I did not want to bridge my friendship with Jojo.I have other of my friends who comes around to visit. Ella comes and sometimes Rina stop by with her little daughter to say hello.I value all my friends and don’t want to hold on to anybody’s fault.I have already let go about Richard and how he got the information and also the ear ring. I am not depending on that again.I enjoy Anita’s company and Jojo shouldn’t dictate for me on who to be friendly with all because she was not in good term with Anita. I told Jojo that whenever Anita want to leave she is free to do that. Jojo said she will stop coming to my place because of Anita and I told her to do as she pleases.Ella
With Jojo’s constant visit to the office I was beginning to feel uncomfortable. I don’t want any trouble from my boss or anyone because of Jojo. My work place is not my house where she can come and go at any time. My boss may even sanction me concerning that because he has seen Jojo more than twice with me during lunch time and also closing time.Jojo was not having time for her sugar who kept calling her but she will not pick his call all because of Mr Ohio. She will even switch off her phone whenever her sugar starts calling.I felt bad for the guy, Jojo was playing him and it was not fair. He deserves better than what Jojo was doing to him.“Jojo, don’t you think that you are hurting your man? He loves you, he asked you to marry him and you agreed…he went ahead to engage you and you collected the ring, only to remove it and kept it inside your hand bag because you saw a bigger fish. This is really bad and is sad too. Jojo laughed out at my every word which she felt has no effect
My Dad called me that afternoon to inform me that Melinda was home.“Wow, really…that’s good!That was my reply thinking that will be the only news but my Dad had something more to say.“Yes Rebecca, is really a great news because your younger sister Melinda is engaged. Yes…she came home wearing an engagement ring, it was one of the biggest news I have waited so long for. I and your mother saw the ring and it is quite expensive and fit in perfectly well on her finger. She said she wanted to surprise us and that was why she did not break the exciting news to us over the phone. Melinda really surprised us with such news. She is still as beautiful, smart and outspoken as ever. I have not met her man yet. She said he will be flying down to see us by next weekend. The news of Melinda’s engagement came unexpected. As much as I wanted to lift up joyfully for my sister, I also know what the news will mean to me, how some people will begin to see me. My Dad will remind me of what he usually

The following weekend, I was at the jewelry shop to check out an engagement rings.I just paid for my house rent and bought foodstuffs for the house.I also got a few things for myself.I decided to stop at the jewelry shop to check out the engagement ring.I walked around the place, still feeling lost in thoughts. I feel really awkward buying an engagement ring for myself but I'm left with no choice. Melinda will not allow me to breathe in peace if she doesn't get a picture of the ring.I wanted to get something expensive just to impress them but by the time I saw the price tag on each ring, I felt discouraged.Regrets crept in and I wondered how I got myself into such.How did I get into this? There was no escaping route for me.I asked the customer care if it was negotiable and the young lady said the price was fixed and no room for negotiations.I have to wait for my next paycheck, I can not spend all the money I have just to purchase a ring and go bankrupt.I saw other cheaper o
Jojo came.She was holding a cup of wine which she deliberately spilled on me but acted like it was all a mistake.“Congratulations Becca. I'm sorry for spilling drink on your beautiful dress. You deserve this and you look good in your wedding gown…is not even something to argue over. I know you won’t believe me but I’m happy for you. I caught your bouquet which means I’m the next in line. I met this sweet, handsome man when I was invited for a show as a video vixen. He is a hip hop musician and he is very cute. He also promise to get me a new car soon. hurrayyyy!….I’m very happy. The guy said he want a committed relationship and this time around I’m ready to finally settle down. Have I told you that you look good in your wedding gown and you are glowing too? Take a look at all this fine men all around here, wow. And the color of the day is top notch. One of the fine groom’s man I met here asked for my number after I went shooting my shot on him. I like him. So is either the musician

I had a great time with him teaching me how to swim. He laughed at some of my failed practice and I also laugh. We later went in to freshen up and have something to eat.Dora made another delicious meal that afternoon and I even asked her to teach me and she promised to do that.The day slowly went and night came. Ohio was free spirited. I stylishly asked him if he has forgiven me.“Do I have a choice over that? My royal majesty was sorry and I have to forgive her. I must confess that I felt hurt and disappointed by your word and each one was like a stab to my heart. All I wanted was for you to trust me Becca. I cannot hide anything from you. If I have any health challenge, I will definitely opened up to you no matter how hard it may be, even before I propose. i hate secrets and will not want you to suffer or regret because of me. I love you Becca and I try to prove that to you but you keep running ahead and destroying everything I planned. All my beautiful plans for you are memories
He never responded to the kiss but as I kept on with it, he began to respond.I didn’t want it to be just another round of kiss this time. So I decided to help him do the needful that night by trying to take action of every part of his body that I need to touch just to arouse him. I went straight to his pyjamas trouser. He suddenly stopped me and pull back my hands. “Sto…stop it Becca. I’m not in the mood for thi…..I didn’t let him complete his word, I stubbornly refused to be intimidated by his action and continued.He tried to get up from the bed and leave the room because I refused to let him rest but there was no going out for him.Since he was not in the mood, I will help him get in the mood but I need to see and feel what I haven’t fully seen before.I climbed on top of him and continued my drama. It took time for him to respond again and this time he looks worn out from my disturbance, Ohio saw that I wasn’t even ready to let go. I looked up at the time and it was 2am but I
“whaaaat! Are you serious right now by asking me such question? We are not having this conversation Becca. What has come over you...? He barked at me angrily while getting up to his feet. But I wasn’t ready to let go, we must tackle this and get to the root of it. I think I have kept quiet enough and is time to really know what was going on.“Answer the question Ohio. Don’t try to dodge from it because I’m fully ready to find out the truth. I deserve to know and if there’s anything you are hiding then spill it out and stop all this childish game. Tell me and make me understand, is better said out than all this confusing attitude that you kept pulling. “Becca, you are seriously asking me if I’m impotent or have issue with my manhood? And you expect me to answer you straight up? I’m trying to understanding the angle all this is coming from but I can’t help but feel insulted.“I never meant it as an insult. Is a very straight and simple question Ohio. But if you feel insulted then that
“Relax Becca, I will soon be leaving. I did not come for trouble…I came for peace. The cops do not have to know please. I wanted to inform you that I finally caught Silas. Yes, I found him where he relocated to. He was on a mission of deceiving ladies who are well to do. I called the cops on him and he was later arrested. The cops found out that two other women had laid a complain concerning him before. He is locked up now but I couldn’t recover all that he took from me. I and two other ladies that showed up after hearing of his arrest were compensated with just a token which can’t do much. I have to start my life all over again. Is really painful that the foolish Silas got me deceived with lies. He boldly told me that he will make me richer, famous and we will travel the world together. He wanted me to trust him and he also showed me evidence of countries he has traveled to and his fleet of cars and houses that he owned in different countries. After showing me those things which I th
after listening to Cherry’s confession, I was left speechless. Who could have thought that Cherry of all people will want me dead because she was in love with Ohio and hates the fact that he proposed to me.Cherry said she has been with Ohio for long as his secretary, and had tried to make her feeling known to him but he hardly pick interest or notice her. It was not just about being his secretary or working with him, she was also attracted to him and wanted him for herself. Her hope was that someday Ohio will be hers.The pain, disappointment and hurt that she felt when Ohio picked interest in me couldn’t be define with words. But she was hopeful that our relationship will crash along the way.Then Ohio decided to propose to me. That was the last straw that break the Carmel back. She couldn’t watch another woman take over Ohio who she was seriously crushing on.That was what led her into the plan of kidnapping me. She wanted the men to torture me until I die slowly. With that she will
I quickly grabbed the fire extinguisher and hide at the back of the door, waiting for his partner to come up suddenly so that I can smash his head with it. My legs shakes, I was weak and was ready to pass out any moment but the determination to live, especially now that my life was beginning to make sense, the thought that my long waited happiness was coming to stay kept me fighting hard. I will not allow the armed men to kill me before my joy is full. With God’s help I will survive this. I heard my name, someone was calling my name and it was Ohio’s Voice.He ran to the kitchen with speed, he screamed in shock when he saw the mess on the ground. He grabbed me to himself and lifted me to his arm. The cops where behind him. They lift the intruder from the ground as he was still struggling to pull off the knife, he was also bleeding seriously. They removed his mask and asked me if I recognized him but I have never seen his face before.I asked them if they have apprehended his partner
I ran back to my phone to call for help. The first person that came to mind was Ohio, I quickly dialled his line and waited as the phone was ringing. “Open this door right now! Open this door or we will force it open and it will be worst for you….They knew that I was awake after I turned off all the light.They were commanding me to open the door or the worst will happen to me if they force it open. Fear gripped me, I was confuse on what to do. I can’t open the door and watch them hurt me. I can hear them trying to unlock my door with something. I need to act fast before they will succeed in unlocking the door and come inside to attack me.What if they are hired assassin? What if they are kidnappers? What if they are armed robbers? How did they even pass the estate security and came all the way down to my apartment? Who could have sent them and why? Who are they? The only person I recently had a fight with and she came back threatening me was Jojo.“oh Jojo, she sent the men to
