Poisoned love
(The Break-up)
Episode 31
Writer: Faith Lucky
95% of the students in Cariters University holding
a phone were viewing the nude photos of Steven
and Sophia.
The photos had spread around like wildfire and
while some felt sorry for them, some were
actually happy about it and kept sharing the
photos online.
Sophia held her mother’s hand as they walked
out of the Chancellor’s office with Steven and
his mom, where both of them had been
announced suspended from the school.
Sophia’s eyes had become swollen and red and
Mrs Kate couldn’t help but get more furious.
“this is all your fault”, Mrs Kate turned angrily at
Steven immediately they stepped out of the
office.
“how could you had misled my daughter into
such indespicable act? She’s the only child I had
from late husband and you’ve ended up
tarnishing her name! How could you?”
“and why’re you raising your voice?” Mrs Damola
snapped. “is your daughter the only victim here?
Can’t you see my son’s also affected?”
“mom, please let’s go”, Sophia whimpered,
keeping her eyes to the floor.
Mrs Kate left in a huff and drove away in her car
with Sophia.
Sophia was sitting at the back seat, still crying
out her eyes. Mrs Kate didn’t say a word.
Immediately they got home, that was when Mrs
Kate spoke up.
“and you, Sophia, how could you be so
shameless? Was that really what you’re learnt
from me? Sleeping around with boys? How could
you bring shame upon me in such manner?”
“mom, I’m sorry”.
“Oh, please shut up! Shut up, Sophia! Now listen
to me carefully. I want you to go in there and get
your things ready because first thing in the
morning, I’m taking you to Lagos state to live
with aunt Evelyn.”
“no, mom. Please, don’t take me away”, Sophia
cried and went on her knees.
“I’ve made my decision Sophia, so get ready!”
she said and walked away.

Michelle was kneeling in front of Steven, also
weeping.
“Steven, please I’m sorry. Believe me, I never
meant for this to happen. I swear”, she pleaded,
scalding tears rolling down her cheeks.
“So, what’re you apologizing for, Michelle? The
damage has already been done. If you hadn’t
gotten the photos in the first place, none of
these would have happened. How could you even
go around spying on me?”
“no, it… It wasn’t me. It was Oliver. He had
given the photos to me; I swear I don’t know
how he got them. He gave them to me”.
A cold string ran through Stevens heart.
Oliver was the root of it?
“Steven please, I still love you. I never wanted to
hurt you”, she cried and held his knee.
Steven glared at her angrily and pushed her
away with the knee.
“you should know by now, Michelle, that I can
never love you. You disgust me”. He rasped and
walked away.
*
Oliver sat by a corner of the school building,
getting himself drunk.
The wh0le thing had been busted; his plans had
been shattered.
He recalled how he had gone to Steven’s house
the other day, with the actual aim of making
peace. But when he had gotten into Steven’s
bedroom and had seen him on bed with Sophia,
he was maddened.
He had thought of walking away, but quickly had
a second thought about it as he brought out his
phone and took some photographs.
They had been fast asleep and couldn’t notice
anything and the gateman hadn’t been on his
gate post and so, he had walked out without
being noticed by anyone.
He had given the photographs to Michelle and
had told her to use it against Steven, which she
did.
But now, the wh0le thing had been busted. He
had lost to Steven, again.
Why has he always been the loser?
Steven has been the cause of it.
Episode 32. The Semi-Final.
Writer: Faith Lucky
Steven stood in front of Sophia’s gate; scared to
knock; hoping to get a glimpse of her.
The day had gone dark.
Her line wasn’t reachable and there was no other
way he could contact her.
But, he really wanted to see her. He wanted to
behold her beautiful face, fall on her feet and let
her know how sorry he was for everything.
He had been standing there for close to an hour,
but still no sign of her.
A tear dropped to his cheek as he turned around
to leave.
“Steven!” he heard a soft voice call his name
from behind and he quickly turned around to see
the angel he had been looking for. The angel
with a difference; with a natural beauty.
Her beauty didn’t recognize any make up to be
perfect. Her eyes alone were far more beautiful
than the stars.
Even weeping and bitterness couldn’t wash it
away.
She walked up to him and embraced him.
For a moment, he was speechless, trying to
enjoy the warmth of her embrace.
He finally came back to reality when he heard
her say: “Steven, I’m leaving”.
There was a string of confusion, followed by a
twinge of pain.
“Wh… What did you say?” he asked with fear.
He was scared of what her reply might be.
“I’m leaving”, she repeated. “my mom’s taking
me to Lagos state first thing in the morning. She
doesn’t want me here anymore”.
Steven was confounded. His l-ips were stuttering
for words.
“Sophia, I’m… I’m…”, he tried speaking up but
couldn’t as he finally let out his pains flow with
his tears.
He couldn’t stop the tears from dripping.
Boo!
There was a loud sound; an awful one. And it
sounded more like a gunshot.
Steven looked at Sophia and noticed she was
sliding to the floor. Blood was oozing out from a
part of her stomach.
What the hell was that?
Had She been shot?
He took his eyes around and saw Oliver running
away with a gun.
He took his eyes back to Sophia who now
appeared to be sleeping.
“Sophia?” he called, his eyes bulging out.
“Sophia!!!”
Episode 33.
The Final Episode.
Writer: Faith Lucky.
“please, step outside ma’am. We need some
privacy”, a nurse said to Mrs Kate as they rolled
Sophia into a ward.
“please, Promise me she’ll be fine. Please”, she
said to the nurse, her voice wavering while she
wept.
“we’ll do our best”, the nurse replied and closed
the door.
Mrs Kate buried her face in her palms and wept.
Her hands and most part of her clothes were
bloodstained.
She turned to Steven who was standing beside
her, also appearing to be in grief.
“how could you let this happen to my daughter?”
she groused. “how could you? I warned you to
stay away from her!”
“I’m sorry, Mrs Kate”.
“and sorry for yourself. Now get out! Leave! I
don’t want you anywhere around my daughter”.
Steven starred at her and sniffles.
“I’m sorry, Mrs Kate”, he said. “but, I’m in love
with your daughter and I’m ready to fight for her.
So, I’m not leaving until I’m sure she’s okay”.
He ruefully moved into the waiting room and sat
on the floor.

Sophia opened her eyes and looked around. Her
vision was at first, blur, but later became bright
and she could see Steven sitting in front of her.
“hi”, she said happily but weakly.
She was being placed on drip and had bandages
on the side of her stomach.
And unknown to them Mrs was watching from
the window outside the room.
“how’re you feeling?” Steven asked as he held
her palms.
“I think I’m feeling better. At least, seeing you
here makes me feel better”, she replied and
smiled with him.
“uhm… Oliver’s been arrested and will be taken
to court soon”.
“Oliver?” she asked. “He… He was behind it?”
“yes. And I’m thinking I was actually his target.
But, he missed and hit you instead”.
There was sadness on Sophia’s face.
She felt bad knowing she had almost been killed
by Oliver.
“where’s my mom?” she asked.
“she’s with the doctor. She’ll be here soon.”
They kept starring at each other and finally
smiled again.
Steven took her palms and k-ssed them.
“I don’t know what I would’ve done if I had lost
you, Sophia. I’ll be meaningless without you”.
That was becoming emotional.
“by the way,” he continued and sniffles. His eyes
were almost glistening.
“I bought something for you”.
He dipped his into his trouser pocket and
brought out a tiny, fashionable jewellery box.
He opened it and behold, there was a glitter ring
in it.
Was that a dream?
“know what this is?” he asked and scoffed.
Sophia was almost becoming tearful.
“I want to spend the rest of my life with you,
Sophia. But I’m not proposing to you in this God-
damn place. So, get well and get out of here ;
cause this ring is begging for a healthy finger.”
And what followed after that? A k-ss, of course.
Mrs Kate smiled as she tried hiding her tears
from the noises around, there by, walking away.
Steven and Sophia couldn’t let go of each other.
They felt like k-ssing forever.
The poison had finally been removed from their
love and at last, nothing could limit their
happiness.
Perhaps, they were meant to be.
