THE HEART OF A WOMAN:
EPISODE ONE.
The true story of a lady who grew up Abroad, returned to Nigeria and fell in love with a younger guy. Unfortunately all hell was let loose when she discovered that she was being played.
I slowly drew close to the helpless man firmly tied to a tree and removed the piece of cloth used to cover his eyes. He stared at me with shock and surprise. He couldn’t believe his eyes.
“yes Kelvin. It’s me, why are you so surprised huh?” i asked with an unforgiving smile. His lips quivered, his face coloured more deeply. Tears instantly melted his eyes. Unfortunately none of it moved me. My heart was already made up and cold.
“Dear me! Stella i beg of you. What’s in your mind? What are you planning to do to me?” he managed to ask with trembling lips. I stared at his youthful body. He was so handsome, young and charming, but deep inside, he was nothing but a crook. A cunning b#####d. A gold digger.
I pointed the 9mm gun i held to his face, cocked it and smiled,
“nobody pulls a fast one at me. My face will be the last thing you will ever see in your miserable life” i threatened with a laugh while he screamed with all his might. My finger went to the trigger…….
How did my story with Kelvin begin???
……….
I guess i have to start from the very beginning.
……..
My name is stella ****. The only daughter of a popular Imo state politician. A bonafide orlu daughter, but was born in Florida which equally made me an American citizen.
I grew up in a family of four boys which influenced my life a great deal. I grew up like a boy and behaved like one until i became more matured. The only thing that differentiated me from my siblings was that i did my primary and secondary education in one of the unity schools in Nigeria while they did theirs abroad. But i however did my university education in America. So i really wasn’t a novice in Nigeria.
In 2009, i clocked 30 and fully returned to Nigeria with two degrees, a fat bank account, a hotel in owerri (which was a gift from my old dad).
The current governor of my state equally was a close family friend and his contact was on my speed dial.
Infact i had everything a lady could dream of. Money, respect and freedom. The only thing that i lacked was a husband, but it really wasn’t as if i cared for one. I was yet to meet the guy who could command my unwavering respect and loyalty.
I already had experimented with a whole lot of them. Whites, blacks, French and so on but none gave me the appeal i wanted. Well, all i enjoyed was perhaps the s*x….
Settling down in Owerri however changed my life. I felt i knew it all, not until i was brainwashed and screwed by a Nigerian guy. But nobody screws me and lives to make a story out of it…..
******************************************************
I guess i’m done with the introduction. It’s now time to move over to how i met Kelvin.
#Breathes deeply#.
It was in march 2009, can’t really remember the exact date, but it was precisely two months and some days after i returned to Nigeria. I was in Nwangele (a small town in Imo state) attending a cousin’s traditional wedding with my best friend Amara (A staff of First bank Plc)
As the event was about ending, we got ready to leave and stood up. But my companion suddenly begged for some minutes. She needed to greet a couple who were some distance away. I obliged and settled back on my chair, suddenly from nowhere a young man came over to me and began taking my pictures without asking for permission.
“aw you look so cute, mmmm” he tuned me as he took more pictures. I simply smiled, saying nothing.
“wow they are so lovely. I have to go print them out. Should i print all?” he asked curiously after taking quite a lot of my pictures. His eyes searched me as if he wasn’t sure of my stand (in terms of payment).
I looked into his eyes and saw ambition. Something clicked inside me. My heart melted, I was suddenly drawn to him.
He looked quite young, within the age bracket of 27- 28 years. He was fair, slim, tall, great body not too muscular. Infact he was quite an attractive male. I salivated as i weighed him calmly.
“So madam should i print them?” he asked again. His voice so cool and passionate. I really have never stared at any guy the way i did to him that fateful evening.
“Actually I’m about leaving” i replied calculatedly. His eyes instantly dropped.
“But you can bring it to my office on Monday” i added, fetched my card and gave him.
“I will pay for your transport too” i added. His face instantly lit up with happiness.
“Thank you Ma” he greeted before disappearing in search of more customers.
“Hmmmm did you just give him your card?” Amara asked from behind as she walked back to the table, settled opposite me and crossed her legs.
“i like him” i confessed. She rolled her eyes and scoffed,
“oh please!, that guy is younger than you. We are in Nigeria oo. It’s even better you hang out with that fat honorable, what’s that his name?. Who has been virtually on his knees to have you than fall for that little boy” she advised with a laugh.
I simply eyed her and discarded her advice…. How i wish i had listened. Her advice was so on point.
