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.
