Boss ,I already sent her home .I'm not sure she is going to change her mind ,she seems adamant,Rowan gave his boss feedback.
Uhhmmm..you need not worry ,I'm certain she is going to come by herself .Boss… if I may ask? ,why did you choose her above all the other candidate, that are even more qualified than her .
She is intriguing ,He replied him shortly,while walking away in his black bathrobe,leaving him with his unanswered question .Again ,he walked away,Rowan groaned with frustration.
**********
Throw everything away ,thrash her belongings,not even a pin should be spared,The old lady stormed at the thugs.
Madam,I know I'm a little late?i swear i will pay you your money ,dont throw me out yet ,i have no where to go ,if you kick me out of your home?I have the intentions to pay my house rent this week. I will settle you this week ,you don't have to do this ,she said in a pained voice ?.
For good 2 years ,This are always the story you come up with, to tie me down ,Today I'm never going to listen to all of your fake tears and promises ,You can cry a river for all you like ,i don't care anymore.
Madam please ,she begged going on her knees while begging her to stop the thug's from throwing her belongings out .
No, I won't ever listen to you ,stop begging me I need money also,the old lady barked at her .
How about I give you this? ,she hurriedly said ,bringing out some cash in her purse .Have you actually gone nut ?This isn't even half-quarter of your one year rent ,not to even talk about two years that you are owing .I know this is small ,but please ..even if is just for a week ,she begged profusely.
I will never collect this meager amount from you as your rent payment,she refused ,while also putting the money she forcefully collected from the girl's hand into her purse, zipping it .
Madam we've locked the door ,here is the key the leader of the thug ,handed the house key to her .THIS IS THE END OF SOLOMON GRANDY ,she dragged at the sentence.
Good bye !My tenant ,she said making jest of her.
Gathering few things she could pack from her belongings that were scattered all around on the cemented floor ,she began arranging them into a bag .
After she was done arranging ,she packed them all at a side,at an abadoned site that wasn't far from her neighbourhood .
Picking her phone ,she dialed Chris number continuously,but it was forwarded to voice mail each time she dialed it .Arrrgh …why isn't he picking any of my calls ?she groaned frustrated as her brain moved in different directions .Scrolling to her WeChat ,she messaged him about her situation and also wishing him a happy birthday ,since today was his birthday ,still she got no reply.Left with no other choice she decided to go for the long way ,that is going to where she could find him,even though he had warned her never to attend his party.Their relationship was a secret ,they had been dating for three good years ,even before he had fame .He was no one before and they never had to hide their relationship,but ever since his music career bloom ,she has been avoided like a plague .To him she was a thing of secret ,something or someone no one must find out he has as a possession ,but still she believed it was understandable and unavoidable.
Making up her mind ,she rambles through her stuff for a suitable dress she could wear to attend the party.she wore a lengthy sleeveless blue gown that passed above her ankle,while also adorning her body with jewelleries and also putting on little make -ups.
Taking one last look at herself in the water reflection ,she picked up her bag that was on the broken rack ,as she starts descending the street stairs in an hurried steps ,to make sure she gets there on time.
Taxi ,she called stoping a cab.BOY'S TOWN…she said before entering the cab,that drove off immediately .
Getting at the villa ,she got down from the cab while picking up her long dress to avoid it getting stained from the wet floor as the rain has already began dripping.Viewing everywhere from where she stood ,she saw some few faces which she recognised ,majority of the guest were people she doesn't know ,some which were foreigners and other's which she recognised from the media.The party was attended by few,Bassey was against him having a flamboyant party,He said it was the best option .
Hello ladies and gentlemen ..chris began,I am glad you all showed up for my party ,Thank you all,i really appreciate it.And also I would like to thank someone special to me ,someone who has been there for me right from time,she is someone i really adored and admired,she is my back bone and my strength.
What ! Vera exclaimed,was he going to call me out,she blushed at the thought while gently waiting for him to call her out.
Y'all should help me in welcoming the love of my life ,SELENE SMITH,he shouted,bringing her on stage.
What !she was dumbfounded,it was the worst shock of her life,Her heart tightened,barely making space for her to breathe as she breathe through her nose ,unexpected goosebumps formed on her arms .How could he ?Vera asked no one in particular.
Thank you selene for the unwavering love and support you've shown and always hard for me .i will never forget you in my entire life,my life without you in it ,wont even be imagined,chris praised as he kissed the girl in front of the guest ,who cheered at the beautiful moment .
Now ! Vera already had enough of it ,she walked closer to the stage where he was,after already drinking eight glasses of tequila .Vera !jericho whose eyes have just met with her's on the way called in shock .
Chris ,Vera called his attention as she turned him to face her .
SLAP! SLAP ! Ahhhhhhh…. The crowd gasped at the action that've just unfolded before their eyes.
How dare you do this to me ? She queried with tears in her eyes.I haven't done anything wrong by loving you .I stood by you even when no one did .I never questioned your reason for treating me coldly .Here i am ….thinking your life was hard .I clothed you,i feed you with my money ,all my life has been for you .My whole reason to live was for you ,I am the one who made you rise to fame not your fucking music or face,she yelled crying .
I gave you everything ,only for you to Stab me in the back ,you cheated on me with another girl ,you said she was your cousin? ,she probed while holding his both hands .I will do what you couldn't do all this while,she said determined.
Everyone ,she shouted facing the crowd ,I'm his girlfriend ,we've been dating for three years,she announced laughing .
Security !Selene called .Take her away ,she is heavily drunk ,she reeks of alcohol ,selene said to the guards ,who took hold of Vera both hands trying to drag her away from the party .
Let me be ,she shouted freeing herself from their grasps.Taking one last look at him ,she spatted on his face before walking away .
Vera !jericho who went running after her called.pulling her arms, he turned her to look at him.I'm sorry i didn't tell you sooner ,he apologized staring at her distance -empty eyes .
I hope you heal faster …i hope you could come back even stronger ,you are a wonderful person and you never deserve to be treated the way Chris treated you.If only he knew what he was loosing ,he would have thought Twice about his action ,A girl like you is worth dying for ,just as they say one wouldnt know the importance of what one has until they loose it at the end ,jericho persuaded her,even though her soul was in another realm .
HUHUUUUU…the cloud rumbled in the sky and the rain began pouring heavily.Every rain drop felt like torture as it makes contact with her bare skin through the satin dress she wore ,she stood alone in the empty street,wrapping herself in the sadness she felt .The raindrop didn't make it easier for her to stop her tears,instead it helped her with the flow as they both formed into a rhythm. What happened earlier kept on repeating in her head like a movie .Hmmphhh!Hmmmph..,she sobs .The rain added fire to her emotions ,she couldn't hide the tears anymore as she breaks down on the roadside,she landed on the wet floor as her back hit the poll ,there she sat for long mourning her loss .Now she was homeless ,no where to go to ,no one to help her ,she was all alone now ,Vera cried thinking about how rough her life had become .The rain continued falling nonstop so does her tears .Her eyes red and her face swollen.She wanted to scream and let all the pain out ,but what came out was just a muffled sound ,even her Lungs were tired to help her scream.
