Title: Love’s Bitter Lesson
Episode 9
Adanna took a deep breath as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was nervous—more than she had been in a long time. Tonight, for the first time since her heartbreak, she had agreed to go on a real date.
With Kelechi.
She had fought the idea for so long, afraid of opening her heart again. But something inside her had changed. She wasn’t rushing. She wasn’t blindly in love. But she was allowing herself to feel. To try.
Dressed in a simple yet elegant gown, she stepped out of her apartment and found Kelechi waiting for her by his car. His eyes lit up the moment he saw her.
“You look… breathtaking,” he said softly.
Adanna smiled. “Thank you.”
The evening was magical. Kelechi took her to a beautiful lakeside restaurant. The soft glow of lanterns reflected on the water, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
They talked, laughed, and shared stories about their pasts. For the first time, Adanna opened up about Chuka—not in pain, but as a lesson she had learned.
“I thought he was my forever,” she admitted. “But now I realize he was just a chapter in my life. Not the whole story.”
Kelechi reached for her hand gently. “I don’t want to rush you, Adanna. But I want you to know this—if you ever choose to love again, I want to be the man who earns your heart.”
Adanna’s chest tightened with emotion. This was different. Kelechi wasn’t claiming her. He wasn’t making promises he couldn’t keep. He was simply telling her he was willing to try.
As the night ended, Kelechi walked her to her door. There was no pressure, no expectation—just a warm hug and a soft, “Goodnight, Adanna.”
As she lay in bed, she realized something beautiful.
She was no longer afraid.
She was ready to love again.
To be continued…

Episode 10
A year had passed since Adanna’s heart was shattered, and now, she stood before a mirror, adjusting the delicate veil on her head.
She was getting married.
Not to Chuka. Not to a man who took her love for granted.
But to Kelechi—the man who had patiently waited, who had shown her that love wasn’t meant to break her but to heal her.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she thought about her journey. The pain. The heartbreak. The moments she thought she’d never love again. Yet here she was, dressed in white, ready to walk into forever with a man who adored her.
Nkem entered the room, grinning widely. “Bride of the year! Are you ready?”
Adanna let out a shaky laugh. “I still can’t believe this is happening.”
Nkem took her hands. “You deserve this happiness, Adanna. You deserve a man who worships the ground you walk on.”
Minutes later, the wedding music filled the air. Adanna walked down the aisle, her heart steady, her steps confident. She met Kelechi’s gaze, and there it was—the love she had once thought she would never find again.
As they exchanged vows, she knew she had made the right choice.
She had survived heartbreak. She had healed. And now, she was stepping into a love that was pure, true, and beautiful.
As Kelechi kissed her softly, the guests cheered, and Adanna whispered to herself:
“Love wasn’t my enemy. I just gave it to the wrong person before.”
She had found her forever.
And this time, it was real.
The End.
Happy ending
Ok
Awwn so sweet
