🩸 CLOUDED BY JEALOUSY🩸EPISODE 1🩸
Why will every good thing goes to her, she’s not only brainy, but always attract good luck.
She’s always coming top in the class during our primary school days, she was the head girl in our secondary school and during our university days, she was not only the class rep but was also retained by the school after our graduation!
She just arrived two weeks ago from her NYSC just to spend some time with me before moving to her parents house and now, this guy that I have been crushing on for long and giving green light for almost half a year already asked her out!!
Olivia lamented hitting her hand hard on the wall as she watched her childhood friend who is also her best friend leave with her next flat neighbor whom she has been fantasizing on ever since he parked in 6months ago.
No! No!! Nooooo!!! This is not going to happen
I can’t keep calm anymore, she have literally denied me every good thing that’s supposed to come my way, I only gets second or third best after her.
My parents has always made matter worse for me by always comparing her with me since childhood.
Every time, they will be like, Olivia can’t you behave like your friend Juliet for once? She’s calm and loving, intelligent, decent and hard working, she this she’s that blablabla!
They’ve always made me love my self less and see my best friend as demi god to the extent of feeling intimidating at her presence.
On more than one occasion, my mother had wished that Juliet is her daughter instead of me.
I have been left with so many wounds and heart aches because of her. Most nights I cried my self to sleep since my childhood even up until now.
(She stood before the mirror)
I am more beautiful than her when it comes to appearance, both in height, complexion, dentition, dressing, think of anything you can mention. I Olivia is naturally endowed as a woman.
So what is amidst, what I’m I not getting right!
Does she always have to appear from nowhere and snatch what’s mine unapologetically.
This is the end for you Juliet, I can’t keep living my life always at your mercy, no never ever again!
I remember telling you about this guy over the phone, yet you arrived and snatched him at a go. I rather die than watch you have him.
Uche is mine, mine and mine alone no matter what it will take me for him to notice me, no matter how long it will last, I must have him and not the other way round!!
She fell on the floor sobbing as she stare at the numerous pictures of Uche which she always download from his social media timeline and saved secretly in her phone.
Kissing it, she placed it on her chest and was about drifting to sleep when she heard a knock at the door.
Who could that be? She wondered…
