Episode 4
“I don’t know where my father is, he is not a child, he could go anywhere he likes” Mr. Steve replied.
“I can’t believe I married a heartless son and a wicked father like you, what has your father, done to you, tell me,” Mrs. Felicia asked.
“You know what he did, he forced me into Marriage with Sonia, when I was already married to you” Mr. Steve responded.
“But you never told him that we were married, grandpa told me you never disclosed that we were married, I made the biggest mistake of my life, when I gave you the go-ahead to marry Sonia, I agreed because I didn’t want your father to disown you, but what did you do, you didn’t only keep me and my child a secret but you fell in love with Sonia and you even impregnated her, that was a woman that you claimed you never wanted to marry, I was a fool for believing you, if not for your Father that I ran to after Sonia’s death, I And Cynthia would still be a secret… Grandpa fell in love with Cynthia, the first time he saw her, she was only five years old, And Grandpa said Cynthia looked exactly like your late mother, he welcomed me at once, and ever since then they both shared an unbreakable bond, your father never wronged you, if you had told him about us, I dont think he would have forced you to marry Sonia, you caused this confusion and this pain that I am feeling, everyone even your friends thinks that Sonia was your first wife and i …am the Mistress, even your daughter Amber and….even worst you asked me to play along for the sake of Amber, that you didn’t want any misunderstanding to happen between you two, I accepted, for the past years I have believed you and I have done everything for you and your daughter” Mrs. Felicia revealed in tears.
“You won’t blame me, I hail from a wealthy family but I fell for you, a daughter of a nobody, yea I loved you but I wasn’t proud of where you came from, my friends would have laughed at me to scorn, if they found out that I married a poor farmer’s daughter, then I thought my father won’t accept you either, Sonia didn’t only hail from a wealthy family, she was an heiress” Mr. Steve threw in and Mrs. Felicia walked away in tears. It broke her heart to hear a man she sacrificed everything for comparing her to a dead Sonia, one thing was obvious, Mrs. Felicia has come to realize that her husband doesn’t love her, maybe he did at a point but not anymore.
She wished she didn’t place her husband above her daughter.
“The only good thing I have in my life, I have sacrificed for him but what did he do for me, Steve brought only pain to my life and I let him ruin my life like this, Cynthia please forgive me, I need you, my child,” Mrs. Felicia thought in tears as she walked into her bedroom and locked the door. She fell to the floor in tears, as she cried regretfully.
Soon, Cynthia started dating, Even though she has not fully recovered from the emotional pain, her parent’s rejection impacted her.
Her parent’s rejection had damaged her mood and her self-esteem.
No wonder she agreed to date someone like William. A 30 years old guy that appears to be controlling and manipulative.
The first thing William did immediately they started dating was to convince her to leave the church.
“Why are you still living in the church when you are a star, you can get an apartment somewhere you are not a child, you are 22 years old, and trust me you can be by yourself,” William said manipulatively and Cynthia agreed.
Cynthia was naive, she thought if she was transparent to Williams that their relationship won’t have troubles and it could lead to a long-lasting relationship like marriage.
Cynthia had no idea that Williams was a gold digger that was only interested in her fame and money.
Not too long, Cynthia moved out of the church to the new apartment that she got somewhere in town.
The priest thought Cynthia knew exactly what she was doing, so he didn’t object. He prayed for her and advised her to make peace with her family.
Cynthia nodded but deep down, she wasn’t going to forgive a family that rejected her.
“I have Williams now, and I hope we will be together forever,” she thought.
The main reason Williams convinced Cynthia of getting her apartment was so he could seduce her.
Cynthia was the type that believed in s*x after marriage but soon Williams began to pester her for s*x, she felt uncomfortable and helpless but when she remembered her promise to her grandfather, she stand firm in her decision.
“No this is not right, we are not married yet, we can’t do this ” Cynthia would say but still Williams persisted but Cynthia would push him away.
This continued for months but one day Williams threatened to end their relationship if she continues to push him away.
“I love you but I see you don’t love me too, so let’s end this” Williams said in his usual manipulative manner.
“I promised my grandfather that I won’t mess up myself, please don’t end this relationship, Williams believes me, I love you, I could do anything for you,” Cynthia said in tears.
“I don’t want to lose you, you are the best thing in my life, I don’t have anyone but you, please don’t leave me” Cynthia added
On seeing the tears on Cynthia’s eyes, Williams smiled within.
“Then you will have to prove your love for me,” He said
“How?” Cynthia implored
“I don’t know, think!” Williams said, he knew Cynthia was naive, and she could anything to prove her love.
Cynthia silently walked to her wardrobe and soon she returned with a signed cheque of 5 million naira with Williams’s name fully and boldly written on it
“I have 20 million in my bank account and I want you to have 5Million,” she said.
And Williams smiled Within and he collected the Cheque.
“The cash is even better than the s*x, it would be boring s*x with a virgin like her,” he thought and hugged Cynthia like he cared.
“I love you so much,” He said and Cynthia smiled.
“Willy, don’t you ever think of leaving me, or else I will die, I told you how my parents treated me, the only family I have is you… And grandpa” Cynthia unconsciously said as her thoughts went to grandpa and she decided to give grandpa a call later.
From that day forward Cynthia would foolishly give out her money to Williams all in the name of Love.
She gave grandpa a call that same day and she felt bad to know that grandpa was at the home for the elderly.
She told grandpa how she had become a Movie star and grandpa was excited.
“I knew you will make me proud my child,” Grandpa said with smiles
A few days later Cynthia visited grandpa at the home of the elderly, the sickly old man bounced back to life, immediately he saw his granddaughter. The will to live life suddenly enveloped him.
After that day, Cynthia moved grandpa to Port Harcourt and they stayed together at her apartment.
With Grandpa around, Williams felt uncomfortable whenever he visited Cynthia, it felt as if Grandpa detest him the moment he meet him and he warned his granddaughter about him but Cynthia who was in love didn’t take what grandpa said to heart.
They both meet in a restaurant most of the time because Williams claimed he was squatting with his cousin, Cynthia had no idea that Williams lived together with his girlfriend, Edith.
It was so heartbreaking when Cynthia decided to buy him a new house even though she stays in a rented apartment, just before Cynthia brought Grandpa to Live with her in Port Harcourt, she had bought a classic car that worth over 10 million for him while she still boards cabs whenever she went for a movie shoot, her love for Williams was selfless but for how long will she continue to love the person who had no good intentions for her
” we will live together in that house one day, it’s for our future,” she told herself naively.
For 6 months all the money she earned was saved for that plan.
And when the money was enough to purchase, a house, she gladly called her estate agent that she needed a fine house situated in a fine place.
She told the agent her budget and in a few weeks, she found a fine house that she loved and she paid immediately for it
When she presented the house gift to her lover, Williams was so excited, it was like a dream come true for him.
He had received so much money from Cynthia that he had become a millionaire in a short while.
“I will finally marry My love, Edith” Williams thought in smiles as he took a tour around his new house with Cynthia.
