"Anne!!!" Enitan called her the third time. Slapping her on the shoulder. Anne jolted as she raised her head for the table she had placed her head-on. Her face was smeared with tears and mucus.

"What's wrong?" Enitan asked surprised by the tears. They were in the school library, they were reading for their upcoming exams. Enitan had noticed how withdrawn Anne had been for the last couple of days. She wasn't herself at all this time, and she had been bothered.

"I'm fine Eni", Anne lied. She started at the anatomy textbook in her front. Enitan wasn't the one to push things which made Anne relieved. She turned the chapters of her book but nothing was retentive.

She couldn't continue this way. She stared at Eni who was also busy reading. Groaning she stood up and motioned to leave.

" Where are you going?" Enitam asked.

"I need to clear my head"

And with that she ventured out, she was unable to find a quiet place to sit. Deciding to go back to her hostel, she leaves for the hostel.

She got to the hostel after some minutes. Luckily for her, she finds the hostel room empty, she could cry without being disturbed. She climbed her bed and sat down, now the tears came flowing freely and she didn't bother to stop them.

Why was this happening to her family of all families? Her parents had served the Lord all their lives. Although she hadn't been so serious with God, she wasn't a bad person. They all loved God, why would God allow his son make that much mistake costing him his home.

Anne was so confused about everything. She didn't know what to do. But as she rested her head on the wall she heard her instruction.

Pray!

Monica sat in the sitting room staring at the picture in the phone in her hands. George was getting married to a white woman. She had cried enough for him, she had no more tears to waste. She had cried a lot for the men in her lives but she still ended being heartbroken. They all ended up not loving her.

She wasn't lying when she said she didn't deserve love. Love had only caused her pain and heartbreak. She wouldn't let their actions influence hers anymore, she had become a woman on her own.

Thinking about Dele. She was determined to make him pay. It was either her or no one else. Who did he think he his to run off after leaving her in this condition? She had told him about the pregnancy days ago but he had walked out in her.

Was he expecting to leave a peaceful life after completely ruining her already damage life. He thought wrong if he ever thought she would leave him just like that. After his wife had to give her a bad image in the eyes of all that loved her. He really wouldn't leave her just like that.

She was broken but she pretended to stay strong, at least stay strong till she was sure Dele was completely ruined.

He hadn't even bothered to call her. Was he with Derin? Or had he gotten himself another woman? Monica was clueless but one thing she was sure of was that she wasn't losing him to anyone, and she was going to go the extra mile to keep him by her side, by force or by force.

She was going to get Derin to divorce him. And that was very easy.

She picked up her phone as she smiled mischievously. She searched for Derin's name and soon she found it..she smirked as she tapped on it

Derin rolled on the bed as she could not find sleep. She was tired and frustrated. She had to cancel most of the places she was to minister because of her state of mind. Who was she to minister to anyone on how to run their home when hers was in shambles.

Dele had come home days ago looking completely lost and helpless. She knew he needs her, but she needed someone herself. Derin wasn't going to allow Dele to play her once again with the I love you trash.

He had stopped loving her the minute he went down with another woman. That was what she had made herself believe. She stared at the ceiling as she tried hard to remember what happened on Monday. She had been drunk but didn't know who had come to the house, all she knew was that she had woken up under clean sheets.

She had woken up to find Joseph home. He definitely wouldn't do that to her, he would never.
She did want to bother herself, one day she would know.

Her phone beeped by her side indicating she had a new message. She opened it, and discovered it was from Monica.

She read the contents and her head went wild. It was confirmed, she was definitely going to have Dele.

Jemima had finished lectures and was reading in one of the empty lecture theatres in the law department. She was waiting for Ephraim too. She was so engrossed in her books on legal method, one of the most difficult courses at her level, that she didn't notice when Ephraim enter.

Ephraim watched her and smiled to himself, she was really beautiful. He walked up to her and placed a peck on her cheek. Blushing, she looked up to him and his fine figure was in full view.

"Good afternoon babe", she greeted.

"Afternoon barrister", he teased.

"Yeah barrister", Jemi said as she started laughing.

"Shall we?" Ephraim asked. But just before she could respond. Both their phones chirped, they both had messages.

Jemima opened her phone, it was a message from her Mom.

It's over Jemi. I'm getting a divorce!

Jemi eyes went wide, Ephraim was about unlocking his phone too. Tears rolled down her eyes as she being to pack her bags.

"What's up?" Ephraim asked confused.

Jemima didn't respond she just dashed out of the hall. Ephraim checked his phone before going out with her. It was a message from his father.

My boy! Please look for Jemima. Pastor Dele's daughter. I believe she needs some help. Look out for her.

His heart raced. What could be wrong? He stood up on his feet and rushed to follow her. He would be there with her, no matter what.
