Chapter 1.
Pain is only temporary they say, they forget to add that some can actually kill in that small amount of time. It's almost 2 Am and I am still rolling around in my bed irrespective of the fact that I am going to work tomorrow. I closed my eyes and tried to slow my heartbeat hoping it will make me sleep but nothing seems to be helping, the only thing I feel is the excruciating pain I feel with every heartbeat. I hit my chest so hard hoping the physical pain will overrule the emotional pain but it didn't, I stood up from the bed and went and grabbed a glass of water. Everywhere is so quiet, I used to live with my best friend Jessica but she got married last month and I was also expecting to finally tie the knot with my prince charming, gosh we have been dating for 3 years. I keep searching my head trying to think what I did wrong, I have never cheated, he was the one that took my virginity, I have never requested for money I have always been a girl that love being independent. The more I think of it the more my heart hurts, I remembered what I heard on the radio last week, to always talk about your pain and hurt with someone, even if he or she didn't give you a solution, talking about it helps. So, I took up my phone and decided to text Jessica, I am by nature a text freak also I didn't want to disturb her sleep, she is a deep sleeper I just want to type out my feelings and wishes and also pains.I haven't saved her number on this my new phone, but no worries I memories it a long time ago.*I have wished a thousand times for it to be a dream*.
*I keep thinking, what did I do wrong**Tell me that if I close my eyes and go to sleep that he will be mine when I wake up tomorrow**I have loved him all my life and I still do**I have always pretended to be a strong woman, but deep down I cry behind closed doors, I know it will come as a shock to you** It's so much easier talking to you Jessica while you sleep**Do you think I made a mistake by accepting Josh instead of Charles**I couldn't help it, he has the most amazing dimples**I know I never told you but I had one abortion for him* I texted and regretted instantly, maybe I am going too far, nobody knows about this I should've kept my mouth shut but I am in so much pain.*I am in so much pain* I cried more as I text Jessica my feelings, I know she will be on a frenzy when she sees it tomorrow, by then my brave face will be on.*Sometimes you must hurt in order to know, fall in order to grow, lose in order to gain, for lives greatest lessons are learned through pain* Jessica replied and it shocked the hell out of me.You might wonder why it surprised me, I wasn't surprised that she woke up to reply to my texts, though Jessica loves her sleep and hardly sacrifices her sleep for anything. I wasn't surprised that she suddenly became wise and sent me a quote, she is a simple girl that can't even remember the simplest quote like cleanliness is second to godliness. I am surprised that she quoted my best Nagato words from Naruto and she has never seen an episode of Naruto.*Did you just quote Nagato* I asked to know if it was just a coincidence.*I am surprised you know where it's from* she replied.*of course I do, I am Naruto's number one fan* I replied wiping my tears, slowly I am more interested in Jessica's sudden interest in my favorite anime, than my painful heart.*Then clearly, you haven't met me* she replied, met you? Girl I practically lived with you for 10 years.*You can't be serious Jess, I have known you half of my life and you haven't even seen a single episode of Naruto.* She doesn't even know the difference between Naruto and Sasuke.*My Bad, I forgot to tell you I am not Jessica your friend, it's a Wrong Number* the texter said and I froze, did I just confessed my deepest secret to a total stranger.This the greatest joke of the century, thinking about it made me crack up the laugh I never knew I still had.
*Come on Jess, be serious* I texted waiting for her reaction*I'm serious I am not your friend* she replied making me take a more serious feature.*Are you telling me I no longer know your number* I sent.*check the number, you might be surprised* she replied.I then viewed the number and was shocked to discover I got one number wrong, I covered my lips with my palm as I felt like a fool.*Why didn't you tell me the first time you received the text* I asked already tapping my feet, its a habit I have when I am anxious.*Wanted to, but the text was coming in too fast so I decided to entertain myself with it* she said and it got me angry, so my heartbreak text was a means of entertainment for this unknown person. Now I don't even know if it's a she or he.*That is rude, you just saw my misery as your entertainment* I sent *Not my fault, you might be a fifty years old woman bored with her marriage life looking for a young boy to suck on* I gasped did he just called me an old hag.*If you thought it was all an act to get a fresh blood, why did you bother quoting Nagato?* I asked.*Because I have always wanted to say it to someone, you just gave me the opportunity I couldn't just let it pass* she replied. I am choosing to believe it's a girl, at least that way she can understand me better.*It is official, you are a teenager that can't even earn a boyfriend* I texted hoping she will be hurt, for some reason I want to mock her.*FYI I am not a girl neither am I a teenager and looking at the fact you couldn't keep your boyfriend, your words are for you* He texted and my eyes widened.It's a man and from his text, he is not a gentle one, my luck is really the worst.*Now I know, you are a forty years old man still leaving with his parents and jerks off every night* I have never wanted to mock someone as much as I want to mock the unknown person. I feel like I will be better if I get to successfully mock him, that my heartbreak can be transferred to him, I know it is bad of me.*You can say what you want old hag* he replied. Does that mean I was right, I stood up and went to my bed.*I hope you forget everything I told you?* I texted hoping he won't use it to threaten me.*I won't, I am even thinking of using it against you* He texted and I instantly sat up.*How do you mean?* I asked already tapping my feet.*Like you said I am an old man that only jerks off in my parents' house, do you think I would miss the opportunity of getting laid?* he texted.*What are you saying* I asked though I know what he is driving at.*I would like us to meet and have one night stand* he replied so bluntly and it disgusted me as much as it shocked me.*Won't happen* I said already thinking of blocking him.*I know you are thinking of blocking me, but before you do that do remember there is an app called true caller, though I couldn't see your face because you didn't upload your picture but I now know your name* he replied and I nearly fainted, God why me.*That doesn't matter, I will still block you* I said still determined.*Ok, I will just find you in W******p or anything or anyhow possible, once I get your picture I will screenshot your text to me with your picture and make it go viral* He said and I instantly went and remove my profile picture from my W******p, I hope I was fast enough. Since this my number is not connected to my F******k account so I know he can't find me there, he now knows my name but there are hundreds of Rose on F******k.*I can track you down as well you know?* I said hoping to threaten him too.*This my number is not registered in any social platform so good luck with that* He replied and he was right, even true caller didn't show his name. Earlier tonight I was heartbroken now I am scared that my name will be sullied by the public, can I stand the disgrace, what will my religious mother think.*How will I trust you won't request for more after the one night* I texted.*You just have to trust me* He replied and I scoffed, like it's possible.*Too bad I don't, do what you must and I promise to track you down and end your life, at least once you upload it online, you can be tracked down* I said hoping he believes it. Truthfully I have no idea what to do if it goes viral except cry and nurses my broken heart.*You are right, though I know you can't do anything I also have a reputation to uphold. So, I will give you an option* he replied and I wonder the reputation a jerk like him has.*what is the option?* I asked hoping it will be favorable.*it doesn't involve sex or nude or anything perverted at least, so promise me you will say yes to what I am about to ask* he said and I got worried, but since he said it is nothing perverted.*Ok, I promise* I guess it will be better than having one nightstand. I dropped my phone and eagerly wait for his text to come in, I closed my eyes as I felt the phone vibrated, I picked it to see what the option is only to be shocked beyond reasons for the third time this night.Chapter 2*It hurts now but I know it won't hurt forever, I cry now but I know one day I will look back and be glad it ended. Thank you for the good times and be good to your next girl, you know karma is real. Send this message to the guy that broke your heart* he texted and I can't believe the content. It's a good message but reminding him of Karma means I am telling him he will get his retribution.*Did it ever occurred to you that I want him back* I asked.*It did, that's why it's better to send him the text, he will now know you're working on moving on and that he will get his retribution. The text might make him come back faster if he really wants to come back* he said and I thought about it.*You are right, but before he broke up with me I have already started hearing rumors about him and another girl, so he is not prepared to return* I said and I can't believe I am having a normal conversation with a stranger.*Then let him live
*Your kind gesture warms my heart, really* he said and I giggled.*People have always said I am a good girl* I sent. We kept texting that I forgot that I am actually texting with airtime. I was disappointed when my text refused to send indicated that I no longer have airtime."Damn" I cursed under my breath. I checked the time and it still remains an hour to closure I then decided to round up and go home.*Hope you are still alive* I received a text from him and I smiled, though the text sounded absorbed it still made me smile and eager to reply too bad I have no airtime. I hurried on my way way so I will be able to recharge and continue our chat, if only he's on WhatsApp or even Facebook.*Seriously are you still alive?* well I don't blame him, with the pace I was replying it's normal for him to think that something is wrong since I haven't replied him. After getting home I quickly recharged my phone, I stopped using bank recharge when it made me use up my
* Call me mysterio* he texted, I grunted, why did I even hope he will actually tell me his name."Stop making a scene" nnedi warns me and I smiled sheepishly. I have been begging him to tell me his name since morning and everytime he refuses, I grunt or actually scratch my head with frustration I never knew the people around me are taking note of it.*Fine, I guess your name is so lame that you fancy the one I gave you* I texted hoping that it will frustrate him enough to actually tell me him name.*Keep telling yourself that, in reality, my name is so cool that you would like your first son to bear the name*I forgot that he is not someone you can trick into letting out a secret.*So, tell me what's happening today* he texted.Though he said he is not married he didn't deny the fact that he is a gamer, so u guess that he is bored and has only me to chat. I forgot he is a loner.*Nothing, we are getting prepared to have a brief meeting
I came back so exhausted, I am drained bot physically and emotionally. I have relived the little encounter a thousand times in just this few hours.After showering the only thing on my mind is to log in and chat with Mysterio. I sat down on the sofa and offed every bit of light, even the TV is off, I feel the darkness suits my mood right now.*Hi Mister* I sent after I have gone through his mesaages, it's mainly about how he needed me to entertain him. Funny his squibble manage to put a smile on my face.*Hello Missy**You kept your Prince charming waiting**Princesses are suppose to be the one waiting in a dark tower* he sent 3 messages instantly, someone is missing me, I sniffed a laugh.*Sorry* I reply as I feel unmotivated to chat, I guess am not healed like I thought.*Sorry?**That's not enough Princess* He started calling me that yesterday after I refused to call him Prince Charming. He thought calling me Princess would make me call him
Everybody in the office is running halter skelter, the new C.E.O is on his way, luckily I have met my sale quota for the month."I heard he is strict" Nnedi said as she files her documents in an orderly fashion."Where did you hear it from" Timi asked, she has never been the type that put interest in gossip."A friend from Owerri branch, he said that he even fired some of the workers" she replied shaking her head."I guess we all have to find out today".It scared me what I heard about him, I hope they're all exaggerated because I don't want anymore hassle in my life. I need this job for the sake of my family, jobs like this are not easy to find especially for a girl with no background like me. I was in a hurry this morning so I didn't talk or chat with him, right now I need him to calm my nerves. I brought out my phone from my bag to call him. We now have regular phone calls and am enjoying it. I can remember how much he laughed wh
"Hello Witchy""What have I done this time around" he always call me witchy when I do something bad."Nothing, I just think it's a nice name for you this afternoon also considering the meeting I just had""Meeting? So finally you have left your parents cottage" I teased him."Seems so, so how is your day going""Well we have finally done our presentation with the new C.E.O" I have been telling him about it and how scared I was."Am sure you made me proud" I smiled as he always have a way of making all my worries turn to pixie dust."So what was your meeting about""Nothing much, just meeting new people and signing bunch of papers" he is always vague about how his day went. I sense he is hiding his identity through that way."It won't kill you to actually be straight to me once" I said a little bit annoyed."Am straight missy, I will never turn gay" he amused changing the subject,"You're just hopeless, we
"Now that we are done with dinner, I have some questions for you" I said as am determined to get a little bit of something out of him."Wow, I guess tonight is going to be questions and answers" he joked"Sort off, you know practically everything about me even the ones my best friend doesn't, but I know nothing about you so am feeling cheated""I suppose, then I will tell you things about me my name excluded and anything that might give you an idea of who I am" I guess that is better than nothing, I will feel a bit closer to him after tonight."So Mister, this is an interview, tell me about yourself" he chuckles."Well, I am the simplest of guy, hardly provoked and tolerate lots of things really am so easy to please. Give me good food and good drink to go along with it. I lack any sense of direction, like I can still get lost even in a neighbourhood I have walked around like ten times" I started laughing at his last statement, that sort of ma
I can't believe how bored today is, I didn't speak to Mysterio I have been trying his number it hasn't been reachable making me think if he took it like I instructed him to. I did all he asked me, luckily I was able to occupy my day with interracting with the customers."What's wrong with you today?" Emeka our company driver asked me, I guess even him noticed my sad mood"Nothing, just feeling stressed" I said tiredly, I guess he took at as a sign and decided not to push the matter. Our days was spent in silence only talking about work related things. When I got back home the usual excitement that I always feel is gone, that's because I won't be talking to him tonight again. Today again is the same thing, no way of reaching him, I just did all he asked me and wore my black undies like he instructed. Funny how he has been the one instructing me on which undies to wear, I never had such connection with josh, it
Alfa's PoVAfter my love gave birth to Marrissa and changed everything about my life I decided to throw her a surprise party and show how much she is appreciated. Henry, Isabelle, and everyone I know is invited. I can't believe how the wrong number got me to the right person. She has been a major pillar in my life, she took the position of a mother, a friend, a sister, and also a wife. It's not a lie when I say she is my everything and my whole world revolves around her."Dad she would soon be back," Alfa said and I hastened up. I made Isabelle took her out with the pretense of helping her buy a party gown. Marissa is almost 4 months and she was with grandma, Rose's Mother. She visited because I told her about the party and how I don't want Rose to know about it. Her two brothers are coming today, I guess that would be when the party has started."So is everyone ready?" I asked as I turned to everybody that mattered in my life. Before Rose came into my life all these
(Alfa's Pov) It's been 5 years I got married to the love of my life, she has been sweet from the moment I saw her till now, she changed my life and saved me from tge put darkness. Before I met her I was just a body with no soul, I smile, I laugh but not really happy. She gave me all the happiness in this world, she is my life saver.It started when I got home from my meeting, even though I had a stressful day I was still unable to sleep because the house felt so lonely I was alone watching my favourite anime when a message came to my private line. I noticed its a new number, only few people around me can reach me through this line, I tried to ignore the message because I know its a wrong number but it kept coming and I felt the need to reply because whoever it is, is clearly hurt. She gave me the rare opportunity to drop some quote and you can't believe how proud that made me feel.From there we started getting closer and I thoug
"I can't have children" I said and his eyes widened."What?""I can't have kids, I have thought of telling so long but I was selfish because I don't want it to spoil with we have, I am sorry" I cried, he just knelt there looking at me with confusion."I told you about the abortion, when Joshua knew of my pregnancy he convinced me to abort it with a traditional medicine saying we are not yet ready for kids" that's the worst mistake of my life and my most painful experience."I refused but he insisted so I gave in, I took the medicine but couldn't stop bleeding for days and I was in a excruciating pain. We went to the hospital and the doctor confirmed that my womb is damaged" I cried and he stood up with his head hung low. I guess he is top ashamed to look at me, I am even ashamed to look at myself."I am sorry for not telling you, I know how much you want leave an heir that will manage the legacy your parents left you" the tears kept flowing no matt
I arrived before 4 pm, I paid for the bus at the park so it can leave without getting filled up, I received Alfa's first call when I was just entered Anambra, I ignored it, thank God he is just waking upI went upstairs and saw lots of familiar faces, today is Friday so the company is crowded, wow it's been two weeks since Alfa kidnapped me."You think he will take you back after leaving and playing him with his best friend" Timi hissed at me, I felt pity for her, I know she is having an affair with Henry."I hope you find happiness" I said and left her to go meet Henry because Alfa will soon be here, it won't take him an Hour since he will use his jet.I knocked and he asked me in, he was surprised to see me."To what do I owe this visit" he said and dropped what he was doing."I came because of Alfa's happiness" that's what I will be living for."I wonder what that has to do with me" He asked."Don't play dumb, you know how m
"I never knew Alfa would be able to get over me" she said after offering me seat beside her bed "you know he has always been obsessed over me" I am annoyed by his words."Obsessed" I don't see Alfa being obsessed."Yes, maybe he is just using you to make me jealous" she laughed and it disgusts me "be careful not to fall because he might end up ditching you""Alright I have heard enough" I stood up."I am sorry, I was just looking out for a fellow girl" she draws me back "don't be angry" she pouts, I can't deny the fact that she is beautiful."Alright" I sat down"Help me select the best dress to where, I am going to a birthday party tomorrow" she said and opened her wardrobe, damn it is jaw dropping, I couldn't restrain my eyes from widening."I have forgotten about this cloth" she brought out a green gown "Alfa bought it for me from Dubai" she gushed, wacko you just lied, Alfa only loves black, red and white gown. So, it's eith
We both lay beside each other breathing heavily, I just went to heaven and came backAlfa is really an Apex predator, he preyed on every bit of my body and have me throbbing down there."Wow" I said as I remember when he said he will wipe away all my previous memory about boys. He is right because I feel like this is my first time."Who knows our bunny has a devil side" He said facing me as he holding his weight with his elbow."Shut up" I said looking everywhere but him, I have no idea how he can still look at me and not be embarrassed, thank God I am closing my nakedness with the blanket."I thought you were convulsing" he mocked referring to what I did when I reached orgasm."Shut up, no one talks about their sex after it" I pouts and he jumped on me and I yelped."Is it me or are you glowing brighter" he said while staring intently into my eyes, I started stuttering."Ah, you're stuttering, an hour ago you were taking the l
I woke in the arms of Alfa, we both fall asleep while watching Naruto, he already have his eyes on me before I opened my eyes."Staring is wrong" I muttered."If staring at you is a crime I don't mind being the most wanted" he smiles and I nudge him slightly on his stomach. We were really tired yesterday that we slept on our cloth, now I wonder what I am going to wear today and when we are going back."So what would you like for breakfast?" he asked."I can prepare the fried rice that was so difficult for you""I just had pepper on my eyes" he denies and I scoffed"Keep telling yourself that" I tried to stood up but he held me down."Let's stay like this a moment longer" he cuddle tighter and I am not complaining.After a while he decided to back me to the kitchen, you can believe how much of a kid he acts"I can barely feel your breast against my back, it's small" He said and I gasped."Pervert"
After our mind blowing kiss we arrived at the airport and there was a Lamborghini already waiting for us, so we are current driving to his resident in his fancy car."Am I going too fast" he asked as he steps on the gas."Yes you are" I replied but strangely I am not a little bit scared, maybe it's because of the way he handles the stirring or just because of the confidence oozing out from him. Standing beside him is like standing beside an army of thousands.He gave me a side glance and smiled, if he knows how sexy he is when he does that he should ask for a thousand buck before he does it, I will really pay."Just up ahead is my residence" Calabar is beautiful, calm and cool, I don't mind spending my days here.The residence came into view and it is a marvel of mankind, the big get opens and I gasped. Its not like Henry's mansion, its simple with big lawn, flowers adding more beauty, the house is painted white and I have never seen anything like that, it d
I have never been a plane before, the closest I have gotten to a plane was during my secondary school excursion. Now I am going to fly in a private jet, which Angel is in charge of my life right now, you deserve an award."We are going to fly in it" I stated looking at him and he nodded with a smile."Come on Bunny, let's go" he said and led me inside, I gasped as I saw the interior, it doesn't look like a plane, it's like a house. The seats were facing each other and a table in between them. I am so mesmerized with the view before me that I didn't answer the greeting the air hostess gave me."Are you done with admiring, we need to sit down for the pilot to fly away" He said and I nodded. He helped me with my seat belt since I know nothing, he then went to seat opposite me."Can you seat beside me?" I asked and he smiled and obliged me, he intertwined our hands after fastening his seat belt."We are about to take off, please fasten your seat beat" The pilot
