ENVY WITHIN
EPISODE 3
WRITTEN BY Rukevwe merry
After finishing his meal, Scott remarked, “This food is the most delicious meal I have ever eaten.” Sonia smiled, feeling a blush creep onto her cheeks.
Scott then complimented Sonia, saying, “Sonia, you are so beautiful. Has anyone told you this before?” Sonia smiled in response, saying, “I know I’m beautiful.” Scott continued, expressing his desire to be in a relationship with her because he is m@dly in love with her. Sonia smiled to herself, believing that the love potion is beginning to take effect.
Sonia expressed her concern about Scott being married to her friend and having a wife. Scott replied, “But it’s you I want. As for Clara, I was already tired of her. She is boring, and you are much younger than her.”
Feeling encouraged by Scott’s words, Sonia kept smiling, convinced that her plan is working. She then told Scott that if he truly loved her as he claimed, he needed to send his wife away from the mansion and bring her in instead.
Scott explained that he couldn’t send Clara away because she is the owner of the house, along with everything else, including the cars and their previous house.
Confused and shocked by Scott’s revelation, Sonia wondered what she had gotten herself into. She told Scott that she didn’t understand what he was saying.
Scott then stood up and approached Sonia, declaring, “My beautiful Sonia, I own nothing. I’m just a poor man from the village, but I’m really in love with you. We can both stay in your house.” He reached out to hold her arms, but Sonia asked him not to touch her.
Despite Sonia’s plea, Scott persisted, and Sonia, feeling frightened, ran out of the house. Scott ran after her.
Sonia dashed to her car, but Scott hopped onto the car’s front. Sonia pleaded for him to leave, but he stayed put. Sonia left her car and ran away, with Scott chasing her. Luckily, she saw a taxi and jumped in. Scott eventually gave up and went back home, tired from chasing her.
In the taxi, Sonia called Clara. She told Clara that she had visited but only found Scott at home. Sonia made up a story about her car having problems and being left at Clara’s home. Clara asked why Sonia hadn’t called ahead. Sonia didn’t answer and kept asking Clara who really owned the big house.
Clara, surprised by Sonia’s questions, admitted that she owned the house, but everything she owned also belonged to her husband. Sonia felt shocked and hurt, realizing Clara had l!ed to them. She ended the call feeling upset.
Feeling troubled, Sonia told the taxi driver to go to the village to see her mom.
She explained everything to her mom, feeling betrayed and confused. She said there was big trouble,and she needed her mom’s help.
Sonia and her mom went to see the herbalist. Sonia told the herbalist that the man she thought was rich was actually poor.
She said she didn’t want to use the love potion anymore. But the herbalist said she had to keep using it. He said if she stopped, she would go cr@zy. Sonia felt scared and trapped, realizing she had no choice but to keep giving him the love potion even when she does not want Scott anymore.
