My loss
Episode 1
"I'm tired of this marriage. I sadly uttered, I can't continue like this."
"My dear I'm so sorry, please don't go too far, he begged.
"Leave me alone, I regret ever knowing you,"I said angrily
"Go and do whatever you want. I'm so sick of your bossy character. I'm the man of the house; I have every right to live my life the way I want," he sternly answered.
"You now have the courage to talk to me in this way," I cried back, stunned by what he had said.
The tears in my eyes could not have conveyed how heartbroken I felt. Lewis and I had begun dating in JSS 3. At that time, he was always there for me, showed me love, and I appreciated his company.Despite my dads' warnings, I can't seem to give up on Lewis.
Since Lewis entered the picture, particularly when the word started to circulate that I was spotted with Lewis in a compromising state, my dad has turned deaf ear to it but I ran out of luck that faithful day
"Rita"
When I looked to see who was calling, my father was at the back of the door.
My breathing grew rapid, my anxiety increased, and I trembled uncontrollably. My vision seemed to be blurry.
"Sir," I said in a chilly tone.
"Where are you coming from?" my dad roared. I have never seen my dad so angry. The smoke coming from his mouth was enough to make me feel like I was dying.
"Dad, I went to.....No..ny," I stammered. "You did what?" he asked, raising his hand. The next thing I saw was his five hands landing on my face, leaving an indelible mark on my cheek. My mom was watching from a distance, and she could not bear it.I didn't see this coming; I thought my dad was a gentle man, but he really dealt with me that day to the point where my mum had to hug me in an attempt to stop him.
"Destiny, why are u too harsh on her, so you want to kill my only child, it took me 10 good years before I was able to convince," she yelled.
"If u come close to me I will beat the both of you, you better stay off this."
The following day, my dad requested that I transfer schools, but my mother objected, and the two got into a heated argument as a result.The in school the following day ,Lewis has always been able to seduce me the time he acquired my typical "You look dull, what are you up to?" he questioned.
"Nothing, just that my dad don't support our relationship," I replied. I forgot about the pounding I took last night.
"Your dad is just jealous of you,he don't want you to know what he knows that's all,"
"Oh my gosh!I can now see why he nearly mu*dered me last night."
"What did he do?He said, "Are you for real, ooh! Don't mind him, I will take good care of you. Are you seeing what I'm saying?I love you, my baby."
"I won't mind telling my dad about us,he is always understanding,"
"my parents won't be in support of it let just watch and see,"
"I will be waiting for you at our normal spot,"
"I won't love to disobey my dad again he was so pi**ed off with me last night,"
"Then choose between our love and ur dad,I will be waiting for ur response this evening,"
"Lewis, why are you making things difficult for me,"
He approaches me and starts to caress my knuckles. He whispers something that makes me weak and hungry for him so much that I can't handle it. I nod in agreement with his demand.
My academic performance has been drastically declining lately, and all I can think about is how much I miss him. I was caught writing a love letter to him the other day, and although my form master took it to the principal's office, I begged him not to involve my parents because I knew my dad would be disappointed in me. Instead, he told me that I would have to spend the next three weeks cleaning the school toilet. My classmate decided to deal with me by making the entire place look like a mess, but I can't report Lewis was my happiness; he arrived early and washed it , which strengthened our relationship even further.When I saw my father sitting outside after I got home, I became even more enraged and felt like I may burst. My expression shifted, becoming a sullen expression.
"Ada m, how was studies?" he inquired. I was taken aback by his inquiry because dad never seemed concerned about this recent, dubious worry of his. Unable to speak, I nodded to indicate that everything was OK.
"I bought new dresses for you,once u are done with shower u check it out," moved out of his embrace, even though he was expecting me to give him the traditional hug.
"Never," I murmured after he had snatched me
I wonder why he is home early. My mother was at work, and my dad was supposed to be in his shop as well.
