THE HEART OF A WOMAN
Episode 21
Stella’s narration continues
Two days later, I inspected my new house with the girls. It was something that gave me great joy. The house was just my taste, beautiful, spacious and enchanting.
The only ugly side of it was the location. The house was just at the outskirt of the capital city.
I did all the necessary paper work, left Lydia to complete the rest and headed back to Imo state the very next day. I returned to owerri as a changed person.
My heart was black, filled with hate and revenge. I had no care for anything and even avoided Amara the only close friend i had in Owerri. She on her own side was surprised by the noticeable change in me but couldn’t just figure out my problem because i hid my breakup with Kelvin from her, using my new political appointment as an excuse to avoid her.
Yes i got the expected political appointment, just like my dad wanted. I was made a special adviser, an appointment which weighed more power in book than in responsibility. Seriously i never got the opportunity to perform any credible task, but yeah i was well paid monthly, plus the government car i got for the position.
_____
I headed back to Abuja after two weeks to continue with my revenge. I was a woman whose ego was totally destroyed by a guy she loved. There was nothing else in my mind than revenge. Creepy isn’t it??. Don’t judge yet till it happens to you.
I quickly moved into my new house with Chika who insisted in staying with me in order to keep an eye on me. Sure the girls were supportive of my revenge plans on Kelvin, but something they saw in me suddenly made them skeptical about my true feelings, thus the hesitation i got from Lydia when i demanded Gutso’s contact from her.
“we all love you Stella, and we want the best for you. We have supported you in everything, but we need assurance that you aren’t planning on killing Kelvin” Lydia seriously said to me, while Chika and her twin sister nodded in agreement. I gasped with shock.
“jeez. I’m speechless. You girls are turning on me or what?” I asked.
“no dear, we just want to be assured that you aren’t going to kill that b—–d. C’mon it makes no sense that you want him kidnapped and kept in a forest only for you to go kick his legs. We believe you have something else in mind, and that’s the main reason you insist on beating him yourself. Please tell us, we need the truth” she begged, while i breathed deeply.
Of course they were right. I had something else in mind, but no, i wasn’t going to play into their conscience nor admit anything to them. I was smarter than that.
“I have paid Gutso the hundred and fifty thousand {N150,000} he demanded. Surveillance, vehicle, house and everything is ready, all we just need is the truth” Lydia begged anxiously.
“I just want to see the fear in Kelvin’s eyes, when he sees me holding a gun to his face. I want him to plead for his life. To scream and beg for it, that’s all i want” i said slowly as if i meant every word, and it just was a very satisfactory and convincing answer to them.
They believed me without knowing i Lied.
Stella’s story continues
One week later, Kelvin was abducted from his apartment on a good saturday morning by Gutso and his gang. He was taken to a small camp at the outskirt of Suleja town.
A very hilly dangerous forest, good for my plan.
Just like Lydia assured me, Gutso did a good clean job. I truly was astonished at how swift and capable he was.
“madam we have arranged the cargo. We are on point waiting for your next order” he informed me at exactly 5am that fateful day.
“just relax. I’m coming over” i said with excitement, hung up the call and quickly headed to Chika’s room.
“Kelvin is now with Gutso. I have to go finish my plans” i informed her with a smile. She quickly sprang up and held me.
“c’mon, what are you doing?, trying to delay me or what?. You know i have been up all night waiting for Gutso to deliver” i said with an excited voice.
“of course i know, but you have to give me time to dress up. I can’t allow you to go out all alone to that dangerous place by this time of the day. We are going together” she said strongly.
“i’m not scared, i have a gun” i informed her, pulling out a gun from my handbag. She froze with shock.
“holy mary!” where did you get that?” she asked, while i smiled.
“have you forgotten i’m a government official?” i asked. She shrugged.
“i know how to use a gun very well. I learnt a lot in USA” I added convincingly.
“but still you do need me my dear. That area is a very dangerous, plus the bad terrain, remember how difficult it was when we were checking out the place two days ago” she insisted strongly.

6:55AM, In A Forest, Heart Of SULEJA
I slowly drew close to Kelvin who was firmly tied to a tree and gently 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, Chika screamed from a distance away.
“Please Stella don’t!” she screamed, running towards me with a very swift pace. Somehow it looked as if she suddenly figured out i was actually going to pull the trigger.
Finally Kelvin was just a breathe away, a second away from a well thought out death…….
Episode 22
“Please don’t do it. I beg of you” Chika begged again and again, saving Kelvin with her pleas. I breathed deeply and hesitated, my finger still on the trigger.
“c’mon look at him. He is already dead with fright. Give me the gun” she ordered, while Kelvin shook and sobbed like a child.
“please don’t take my life. I got a family at home. My parents and siblings all depend on me. Please have mercy and spare my life” he begged passionately. I drew back and bit my lips.
“you want me to let you go huh?. You think i don’t know the next place you will be heading to is the police station. I’m not dumb” i said searchingly.
“noooooo i swear on my parents life. If you let me go, i won’t say a thing. I swear” he pleaded. Chika drew close slapped and kicked him roughly.
“now it’s enough. Let’s go. He has suffered enough” she said with a heavy breathe, reached forward and dragged me out of the scene, leaving Gutso to find a way in setting him free.
_____
We returned to my house at exactly 10am, very tired and hungry. Chika wasted no time in picking on me.
“seriously you would have shot that guy. You are so mean girl” she attacked me,
“don’t you know love and hate are siblings. They work side by side” i laughed while my ringing phone instantly interrupted us. It was Gutso calling.
“madam i still have mr Kelvin here ooo. Now listen and listen good. You have three days to fetch ten million Naira for me or i’ll call his friends, colleagues and family, collect the money from them and then reveal the person behind the whole thing” he threatened and hung up coldly, leaving me extremely frightened and devastated.
“s–t!” i screamed nervously,,
“what’s wrong?” Chika asked curiously, rushing to my side.
I needed no telling that i was in a one big pot of soup. I just was confused on how to play with a backstabber like Gutso.
Stella’s story continues
Lydia walked into my apartment by 4pm looking very serious and agitated.
“This is bullshit. Gutso must be out of his mind” she breathed fiercely.
“seriously this wouldn’t have happened supposing Chika allowed me to finish off Kelvin when i had the chance” i complained with regret.
“baby girl think very well. I just saved you from a lot of troubles. Imagine what would have happened supposing you killed that imbecile. Gutso would have demanded 50million” Chika defended.
“seriously i never planned on going through all these troubles just to have a little chit-chat with Kelvin. Now i’m also to pay for his freedom and mine” i murmured with regret.
“relax dear, we have two days to plan. We aren’t giving Gutso no dime. He is a big fool who is trying to bite the finger that fed him. I have a cousin who is a federal agent. I trust him with my life. I’ll get him track and locate Gutso. He’s a good agent” Lydia said with a reassuring smile while Chika and I gasped speechlessly.
“you mean an Agent as in Secret service?. What the hell are you thinking, trying to involve a white collar cop?” i asked with shock.
“don’t worry yourself, just give me the money you planned giving Gutso as the balance for his job. The money will be enough to make him do the work” she answered with certainty, leaving me shaking my head with worry.
“I hope the whole thing won’t blow out of proportion?” i asked fearfully.
“relax dear, i already told you he is my cousin. I trust him with my life” she assured me again, shaking her head with concern.
“my dear revenge is always a bitter game. It always ends badly, but I can assure you, that my cousin will hunt Gutso down within a day. All he needs to do is just track the fools phone number. Relax okay” she said seriously but i was far from relaxing.
“do you really believe your cousin will risk his career working for us. He is a federal agent for Christ sake” i asked again.
“We are in Nigeria, where favours are done every now and then. Don’t fear yet let me talk to him first” she replied, while my phone rang that same moment, drawing our attention.
“hello good evening, am i speaking with Stella?” a familiar female voice asked.
“yea” i answered curiously.
“it’s me Lilian, Kelvin’s colleague” she introduced herself. I kept quiet.
“Kelvin was taken from his house by unknown gunmen early this morning. I don’t know who else to call, I saw your number in one of his books. The police are already aware. Do you know any of his close family member here in this city?” she asked, leaving me gasping for breathe with her words.
It was very obvious. I was in a big s–t.
Episode 23
stella’s story continues
“jeez! How did it happen?” i shouted as if i was unaware of the development.
“seriously i can’t say” Lilian answered calmly.
“don’t worry, i’ll see what i can do and get back to you” i promised halfheartedly, ending the call abruptly.
“it’s Lilian” i informed my friends coldly.
“I have to get going dear. I’ll return with my cousin later in the evening. Don’t panic, i got things under control” Lydia promised and hurried out, leaving Chika and i all alone.
I ran to my room and locked myself inside. My heart was filled with pain and regret.
Lydia kept her word by showing up with her cousin at exactly 10:15pm. I was extremely delighted and anxious.
“This is a very delicate matter, but unlike in most kidnap cases we are dealing with a familiar person, which truly can yield very positive results. All we need do is convince him to give up his location which i know he will easily do because he doesn’t consider you a threat. He knows you will never involve the police due to your involvement in the whole scheme” Lydia’s cousin {the sss operative} wasted no time in addressing us. His words showed how intelligent and good he was. My hopes rose with great speed.
“we don’t have much time to start tracking him. The only way is to get him reveal his location. My friends and I will then storm the place and rescue Kelvin” he added seriously.
“how do we get Gutso to reveal his location?” i asked curiously.
“type out his number and hand me your phone” he answered intelligently. I quickly did as he asked and watched him curiously.
“he dialled the number and switched the phone to speak out mode” Gutso answered seconds later. His gruff voice very harsh and rough.
“don’t tell me the money is ready madam?” he asked,
“good evening Mr man. My name is Francis, madam Stella’s brother. I’m here on her behalf and from now onwards we deal together” the agent said swiftly, sending Gutso speechless for some seconds.
“i’m dealing with Madam Stella and nobody else” he barked.
“why do you care who you deal with as long as your money gets to you. This is something for men and we are doing this together, unless you want to back out which i really don’t care about, after all you are doing this for money and i can promise you the guy you are holding has no friends nor family who can raise half a million Naira for you. So if you really want to get any money from us you have to deal on my terms” the agent said ruthlessly.
“what are your terms?” Gutso asked,
“first i need to see that your captive is hale and hearty. I don’t need pictures nor to hear his voice. I just want to see him with my own eyes and secondly, ten million is too much, we will negotiate a better price when i come to see your captive” he answered effortlessly.
“you must be crazy. You are playing with me” Gutso barked and hung up, sending fear across my heart.
“don’t fear. The man has nothing, he is going to play ball. Relax the night is still young” the agent assured me with a calm nod.
Fifteen minutes later my phone rang. It was Gutso calling back. I heaved a sigh of relief.
“I hope this isn’t going to be a set up?, because it will end up badly. I have forty strong men, battle ready and vicious. I hope you aren’t trying to play games?” he asked the agent.
“of course not. You are aware we are equally deep in this s–t to involve the police or play games. All i want is a peaceful understanding and settlement between us. I don’t want my sister to go to jail” the agent answered convincingly.
“fine, i’ll send the location. Don’t play games with me” Gutso threatened and hung up, while our guy smiled at me.
“you see the fool got nothing up his sleeve. Making a kidnapper lose control of a negotiation is a very cheap way of scoring an easy win. He’s good as busted, all we need do is now plan how to strike and cover the s–t up because it’s going to get bl0*dy” the agent said softly….
Stella’s story continues
A text message landed in my phone a minute later, bearing the direction to Gutso’s location. The agent licked his lips, transferred the text to his phone and called Gutso with mine.
“we will be there by 9am tomorrow. Good night” he informed him, hung up and smiled to me.
“i have to go catch some sleep. I’ll be here with my friends as early as 8am” he said and rose to leave.
“thanks a lot for bringing out your time to help me. I promise you won’t regret it” i said happily, drew close and hugged him. Lydia coughed and eyed me.
“he’s good, and handsome hmmm” Chika who was quiet all along said as soon as the agent left with Lydia.
I had a very restless night, thinking of many things. I thought of Kelvin and for the first time felt sorry for him. I equally couldn’t imagine what Lilian was planning.
Lydia showed up at my house with the agent and five heavily armed men by 8:15am the next morning. I was impressed by what i saw.
“so what’s your plan?” i asked the agent curiously.
“we will go in together, survey the place, have a little talk with the kidnapper, before sending in my guys after we are safely out of the building” he said quietly. I nodded with interest.
“we will go with your car while my friends will keep a safe distance behind us. You have nothing to worry, we have the training and capability to do this without being detected” he summarized reassuringly.
“how about Kelvin. What do you have to say about him?” i asked slowly.
“in every rescue attempt, there is always a fifty fifty chance of rescuing or losing the victim. It’s all about gamble, but i thought our priority is silencing Gutso and his gang, thus stopping them from blackmailing and exposing you?” he asked,
“yea it is, but Kelvin shouldn’t be harmed” i murmured.
“of course, we are going in to save Kelvin. I’m sure nothing will happen to him” he assured me.
We left my house at exactly 8:30am, leaving Chika and Lydia behind. The agent drove my SUV while i sat beside him in the passenger’s corner. The second vehicle kept a safe distance behind us. I was a bit nervous but brave. My 9mm gun well concealed in my handbag. I was very ready to face anything.
It wasn’t hard locating the isolated compound where Gutso and his gang kept Kelvin. A very quiet hilly community many miles away from Suleja town.
“you have to play cool” the agent advised when we got to the compound. I nodded and breathed deeply, together we alighted and walked into the empty house.
I couldn’t help but imagine how many invisible rifles were pointing at us that very moment.
Gutso soon appeared alone to welcome us.
“don’t be decieved, we are surrounded” the agent whispered to me, even though we saw nobody else apart from Gutso in the compound.
Episode 24
Stella’s story continues
Gutso led us to a small room at the east wing of the building where Kelvin was helplessly blindfolded and tied to a chair. He gave us no chance to at least say hi to Kelvin before leading us back to the entrance door.
“you have seen your man huh, now let’s discuss my money” he said seriously, searching us with his eyes.
“why are you doing this?” i asked. He scoffed and shook his head.
“i’m tired of being an errand boy to old ladies like you who think the world revolves around them. I need good money” he sneered.
“so everyone likes taking advantage of me. Okay” i hissed, while the agent pinched my left hand, signalling me to keep quiet.
“you are getting only a million from us, because we want this to end peacefully” he addressed Gutso coldly..
“are you serious?” he asked the agent who nodded in affirmative.
“if that’s the case, you guys should just go home. I’ll try getting my money somewhere else and if that fails, hmmmm, i’ll simply cut the hostage into pieces and send his body parts all over the city with your name and phone number written over it. You will have a hard time exonerating yourself from the mess i will create. Don’t let it come to that” he threatened me.
“fine we got your point. Three million” the agent offered.
“five million or forget it” Gutso insisted, drawing a fierce look from the agent who slowly nodded.
“fine you will get your money this evening” he said to him.
“i feel like detaining one of you. No hard feelings, just as insurance” Gutso said, staring at us with suspicion.
“of course you aren’t dumb to think only one of us is raising such a huge amount for you. I’ll withdraw half the money from my bank while my sister does the same from her bank, unless you want us to get the money one after the other, which you know will make this deal spill over to the next day” the agent asked intelligently.
“fine you win. Go get me my money” Gutso answered, letting us go and equally signing his downfall with such a decision.
Supposing he succeeded in detaining one of us, our plan would have been messed up.
As we left the compound and hurried to our car, the agent sent a sharp signal to his colleagues who instantly landed within seconds. A Toyota bus carrying five armed agents pulled up close to my car in a commando fashion.
“move in, move in, suspect is armed and alone, watch out for snipers. Hostage identified in the east wing” the agent screamed at his colleagues who were very ready for a show down. But just as they made to move into the compound, a gunshot came from nowhere destroying my car windscreen and sending everyone down. We all took cover, while three more shots from the same direction came flying over.
It was obvious Gutso was equally ready for a showdown…
Stella’s story continues
“Henry what the hell are you waiting for?, take out that shooter nah” the agent screamed at one of his men who quickly took position, aimed his automatic and fired.
The shot was perfect, instantly silencing the sharp shooter who almost took out seven of us with his long range killing shots.
The five agents made use of the opportunity and quickly moved into the house with great caution, while the first agent{Lydia’s cousin}, stayed back to provide cover for his colleagues.
“hope you are fine?” he asked me.
“yea” i nodded, visibly shaken and scared. It was my first time of being under life threatening fire. It really was a very shocking experience.
“get into the car and stay down. Don’t move an inch. I have to go back up my men. You are very safe inside the car” he said to me as fierce gun battle raged inside the building. I nodded, dived into the car and pulled out my 9mm gun.
He stared at me with surprise, shook his head and raced towards the direction the first shot was fired from minutes earlier.
Sweat drenched my body as i nervously waited for the agents to come out with Kelvin. Some minutes later, a heavy duty truck headed out of the compound with great speed, two agents running after it and firing. Their shots somehow got the driver who swerved and ran the truck into my car. The impact of the collision left my head broken and bleeding. I bravely jumped out of my car and tried crawling to safety, but unfortunately it was a very silly deed.
Gutso jumped out of the driver’s side of the truck and stared at me murderously.
“you double crossed me you b—h” he barked and raised a pistol at me. My heart froze.
I almost urinated on my pant as i quickly said my last prayers while tears soaked my eyes.
I saw death smiling at me, calling me to come forward and embrace my destiny. I instantly knew my place in hell was being dusted for my arrival.
Suddenly another gunshot came flying to save me, hitting Gutso on the neck. The impact threw him forward. He fell and fired, sending me down with a killing shot.
Episode 25
Stella’s story continues*
I tried picking up myself but just couldn’t. My left arm hurt badly, gushing out bl0*d like a burst oil pipeline. Two agents quickly rushed to my side, held and examined me.
“relax, it’s just a flesh wound. The bullet went through your arm. You are really a lucky woman” one of them said with a smile, but i couldn’t say anything nor even get a grip of myself.
I was very dizzy and down, equally finding it hard to breathe properly.
The rest of the agents soon came out with Kelvin and two men who were handcuffed like criminals. I tried thanking the agents, but was unable to say anything, instead closed my eyes as the pain got more terrible.
My arm was quickly bandaged by Lydia’s cousin who begged me to relax before i was helped to the second vehicle.
“you have nothing to worry. I have things under control. I’ll have a little chat with Kelvin. The police will be here any moment” he assured me before i was taken out of the scene to a private hospital down in Abuja.
I really can’t tell what transpired between the agents, kelvin and the other criminals who were arrested, but later in the day when the first agent showed up at the hospital with Lydia, Chika, Kelvin and Lilian. I learnt that Gutso didn’t survive the shootout, which meant he died with our secret. A very welcomed development.
Surprisingly, Lilian {Kelvin’s colleague} was very touched to see me bandaged and helpless. She sat by my side and cried softly, shocking me with her action and leaving me to wonder what she was told.
“when i called to tell you that Kelvin was Kidnapped, i never imagined you were going to risk your life trying to save him. You went too far. All the same thank you” she sobbed, while i speechlessly stared at her. I couldn’t say anything because i didn’t know what she was told.
“please can you guys give Stella and I a moment to talk?” kelvin begged minutes later, his eyes searching me curiously. I nodded in agreement, everyone obeyed and quickly left us alone.
I stared at him curiously, my heart pounding furiously. I couldn’t imagine what he planned saying to me. He came forward and breathed deeply.
“I had a long talk with the federal agent. He’s a good guy” he said and sat beside me.
“i’m sorry for hurting you. I take responsibility for everything that has happened. Let it be our secret. We have to move on and forget the past. You helped become successful, that i can never deny, but don’t take it away from me. Judgement is for God, let’s leave everything to him please. Nothing will stop me from moving on. I’m going to marry Lilian and i pray you let me be from now on. I’ll say nothing about the kidnap nor say anything bad about you. Concerning the money i owe you, i’m still going to pay back every dime. Please” he begged and kissed my forehead, tears fell from my eyes.
“You never loved me Kelvin. But it’s well, go in peace. You are free” i said faintly. He breathed deeply and smiled.
“thank you for freeing me” he murmured joyfully, while i swallowed hard with regret.
I ended up spending good money for a revenge i couldn’t finish, helpless on a hospital bed for being so stupid. I felt bitter about it all. Unsatisfied but relieved.
I spent few days at the hospital before returning to my house. The few days i spent there however brought many surprises, most especially from Lydia’s cousin {the agent} who made it a point of duty to check on me every morning and evening.
Of course i was surprised at his growing concern towards me, but accepted it with happiness. I needed all the love i could get to forget Kelvin and luckily he proved capable of filling the gap.
Nevertheless I liked him a lot and which woman wouldn’t, after such act of bravery and sacrifices he made for me.
Truly I respected and adorned him but never attached romantic feelings to it, because i felt his concern towards me was just nothing but a friendship gesture from a gentleman of honour. Did i say gentleman of honour? Hmmm, yea i did.
My friends equally weren’t blind to the way he treated me. In fact Lydia went far by revealing something that rose my bl0*d pressure with excitement.
“hmmm my cousin is in love with you, oh and it’s such a good thing. It’s time he gets married. He’s getting too old for my liking” she whispered to me with a friendly smile, leaving me shaking my head with doubt.
“Can a man fall in love with a crooked, spoilt, egocentric lady like me?” I wondered.
“can a man who knew my terrible secrets fall genuinely in love me?” i asked myself over and over.
Surely love is a beautiful thing, but after the Kelvin saga i resigned myself to living like a man. I promised never to hope on any man, but instead build my future as a powerful lady enviable by all men. But Lydia’s revelation brought back the woman in me. The heart of a woman.
______
“you know you hardly call me by name. I prefer answering Julius than that formal title you always address me with” he {the good young agent} said to me as i was discharged from the hospital. I blushed like a little girl while Lydia and Chika laughed.
Returning home after the worst moment of my life was a dream come true. My friends threw a lavish party for me as if we were still teenagers. A ceremony that cheered me up a great deal.
Julius was equally present at the occasion. He kept following me with his eyes until he got a little chance to talk to me privately.
“hey can we go to the backyard?” he asked calmly, surprising me with such a question.
“sure of course” i nodded politely, held his hand and led him to the back of my compound, which really was wonderfully lit with colourful energy lamps.
The scenery was just beautiful and calm for two people to whisper together without any interruption.
“hmmm such a beautiful castle for a beautiful woman” he murmured, stopped, faced me and stared into my eyes. I nervously stared back at him. My heart throbbed wildly, eager to hear what he wanted to say.
It felt so good being out all alone with him. I felt so different, so humble and loyal. I was conquered by his spell.
It was just as if we were acting out a screen play, acting out the ending of Val’s Romance Vnovella …….
The last Episode
“i don’t know how to say the things in my mind to you, considering your past. But i can’t continue bearing such load in my heart” he breathed nervously. I smiled to encourage him while my legs shook with excitement.
“i love you Stella. I’m deeply in love with you. I can’t hide it anymore, believe me i just don’t know how to describe the desire in me. It has been like this from the very first moment i walked into your house. I never knew i was capable of loving, capable of falling for any woman, but look at me. I’m slowly getting to thirty two {32yrs} with nothing to show in terms of relationship. I’m no saint but i have never gotten serious with any of my female friends nor share a bond like i do for you. I just don’t get it, but it’s like we have the same gene or something, like we were made and cut out for each other. You are just like a female version of me” he poured out solemnly, swelling my head with his outburst.
“i don’t need friendship, nor relationship. All i want from you is marriage. Don’t turn me away. I beg of you” he pleaded. I briefly closed my eyes and smiled. Oh i was so flattered by his words.
“aren’t you trying to rush yourself. Isn’t it better we study each other?” i asked slowly.
“i’m done studying you. Just say yes please” he begged. Tears dropped from my eyes. I nodded with a smile.
“yes yes i accept” i answered. His eyes lit up with joy. He drew close and lifted me up with great strength.
“thank you dearest, now let’s go make the announcement to everyone” he said joyfully, lowered me down and dragged me back to the party where he surprisingly announced our engagement which he did in front of everyone present at the party, by putting a wonderful ring on my finger.
Yea i was finally happy, satisfied and once more in love. This time with the most wonderful man ever. Just like he rushed our engagement, he equally rushed our marriage by taking me to the Altar three months later.
Hmmm and of course we live happily till today, blessed with two lovely twins.
However i learnt many things with my past.
First and foremost; everything happens for a reason. You may not realise at first but take your time to study the situation.
Secondly; every disappointment no matter how bad could be a blessing in disguise. Yea just like mine, little did i know losing Kelvin would bring the most wonderful man who understood me to my doorstep.
And Thirdly; don’t try to force love on anyone, because your partner is somewhere at the corner coming for you.
As for guys, please, please, please; don’t ever trying messing with an older lady if you are not sure of your feelings or ready to play to the end…
THE END
