A Two Faced Lover
(episode 1)
Psychologists describe ‘Halo Effect’ as when someone is perceived by others
as being good due to previous good deeds that person has done and their
perception towards that person never changes; even though he or she was
caught in the act doing something evil. Have you ever trusted someone with
all your heart and could even stake your life that the person in question
would never hurt or betray you; only to find out later that you actually
never meant anything to that person and they were living a Big Lie? What if
the person happens to be your supposed lover and you were just being pla-yed
all along. Someone you felt you were in an honest relationsh!pwith, only
to realise later that you were not even close to being even a ‘Side Piece’
talk more of being the ‘Main Piece; do you know how devastating that feels?
Well, br@ce up because this tale is one of a kind.
In a very busy city resided a charming man by name ‘Saint’. The lifestyle
of Saint was an extremely admirable one and it brou-ght him respect from all
around the world. Saint was a Life Coach and a Philanthropist who lived
most of his lifetime impacting the mas-ses and giving out a great portion of
his fortune to the less privilege. Due to his good deeds and impact on many
lives, a lot of people could go to war for him.
Things were so serious that people even fought their colleagues or friends
that had a different opinion about Saint’s lifestyle. This man was idolised
and could never do any wrong in the eyes of the people that loved him. Due
to his ‘Holier Than Thou’ attitude, a lot of ladies wished to be his
girlfriend and even wife.
I mean, which lady wouldn’t go head-over-heels in love with an angel in
human form like Saint? He was handsome, a successful career man, he had a
charming charisma and personality, he had the h0ttestl-ips you could ever
imagine and a ban-ging fitted b©dy to t©p everything up. Oh my! He was just
a complete package that so many ladies wished could be delivered to their
door front. What a man indeed!
However, the truth here’s that no one truly knew who Saint was behind
closed doors. No one could tell of the life he lived when the c@m£ras
st©pped rolling, no one could ascertain his relationsh!pstatus and
certainly, no one knew anything about him other than what he wanted them to
know. Saint controlled his imagine very well and never left any loop holes
that could leak his secret lifestyle.
What a lot of people didn’t know was that Saint was very much still single,
but it was deliberate because he was a Brutal Love ma-king Freak and also
had the traits of a Dominant. For those who don’t know what a dominant is,
it refers to a person that loves taking total charge and control during
Love ma-king without giving their p@rtner any chance to express themselves
the way they want to. A dominant derives plea-sure in inflicting pain on
their p@rtners when they reach a high level of ecstasy and usually want
things to always go the way they want. This was the reality of Saint.
Most ladies who had encountered Saint’s Brutal Love ma-king sessions took
race after their first experience, while some actually liked it and
eventually bec@m£ his ‘Call Girls’. Most of these ladies that truly knew
who Saint was, gossiped about him to their friends and colleagues and
that’s how come people had different opinions about his personality and
lifestyle.
To be fair, Saint wasn’t really doing anything wrong because being a Brutal
Love Maker or Dominant isn’t a crime and wasn’t anyone’s business, but what
made everything look shady and bad was because he usually preached against
certain things he practised. As a life coach, Saint usually spoke in
seminars and had lots of followers. He was an advocate of equality in
everything that pertains to life and usually frown at any form of
injustice. But the irony of everything was that he was the master of
injustice and inequality. How can you manipulate and use ladies that you
know de-ep down loves you and want a relationsh!pwith you? How can you
think of only yourself during love ma-king, without considering the plea-sure
and satisfaction of your p@rtner? How can you be a dominant in your
personal life but preach against inequality to the public? Well, all I see
is a double standard and two faced human being but I’m glad every secret
has an expiry d@t£.
What Saint didn’t know was that not all ladies can be messed with. His doom
wasn’t far fetched since the day he met an equally charming lady named
Rose. They met one fateful evening at a restaurant after a stressful work
day.
It happened that Saint was alre-ady seated inside the restaurant and facing
towards the glas-s that showed the outer p@rt of the restaurant. In the
parking lot area was a woman begging for alms with her kids.
Coincidentally, they were there when Rose drove in and immediately she
alighted, the beggars walked up to her pleading for alms. Rose was kind
enough to hold the little girl that held her leg and beckoned on them to
follow her inside the restaurant.
As they walked towards the restaurant, Saint was quic-k to sp©t the charming
lady because her kind gesture caught his attention. He sternly watched her
till they entered inside. As Rose ordered take-away food for the beggars,
Saint couldn’t st©p staring at her. In his mind, he kept praying that she
stays back to eat in the restaurant and not order take-out for herself too.
He wanted an opportunity to approach her but didn’t want to look too
desperate by walking down to the counter. Chat MartinMartino on zero eight

knew he was going to make a fast move on her immediately she settled down
to eat.
Unknown to Saint, he wasn’t going to nee-d any much introduction because
Rose alre-ady knew whom he was and she was also one of his secret admirers.
She hadn’t seen him yet but that wasn’t for too long because immediately
she was done ordering food for herself, she looked out for where to sit
down and the only empty seat in the restaurant was the one opposite Saint.
She majestically walked towards the seat to ask if she could sit there and
that was when she recognised him.
“Can I sit here plea-se?” Rose asked, “Yes sure you can!” Saint hurriedly
replied and stretched his hand towards the seat. In as much as Rose
recognised whom he was, she comported herself and pretended otherwise.
After about 5 minutes of awkward silence, the waiter walked in with Rose’s
food and a conversation began. “I saw what you did back there, we nee-d more
people with good heart like you” Saint calmly said, “Awwn, thank you very
much. I appreciate” Rose replied blu-shing. Saint asked of her name and she
revealed her name to him and also pretended not to know his name and asked
for his; of which he also revealed. They got talking and gradually began to
enjoy each other’s company.
Apparently, what Rose didn’t know was that Saint wasn’t the regular kind of
man that believed in Love. If he liked a lady, it was usually for her to
warm his be-d and nothing more. He usually gave money to the women in his
life and was a great Sugar Zaddy!
In as much as Saint instantly liked Rose the very moment they started
interacting, he honestly didn’t foresee anything serious like a
Relationsh!p, but rather imagined her at his mercy during Love ma-king. It
was such a messed up life that Saint lived and it was indeed not a suitable
lifestyle for a role model like him; little wonder why it was a secret from
the rest of the world.
After a beautiful meeting at the restaurant, Saint optioned to pay for Rose
food but unfortunately, she had alre-ady paid for it at the counter. Due to
that, he promised her a d@t£ and they exchanged numbers afterwards.
Throu-ghout the rest of that day, Rose was very excited to have met the man
she had always admired and had a hvge crush on. She blu-shed at every
thought of him and kept repla-ying their conversations in her head.
On the other hand, Saint wasn’t that excited as Rose was because his
intentions were different than she thought. There was no doubt that he
liked her but that didn’t make her anyway different than every other lady
in his life. The fact that she was generous to the beggars was what
actually prompted him to want to get closer to her, otherwise he wouldn’t
have made any move to talk to her at the restaurant.
The upcoming d@t£ was the perfect time for Saint to make his move and try
to lure Rose into his life. He actually thought it was going to be an easy
one like with other ladies but was in for a tough chase.
Finally, the D-day c@m£ and both p@rties dressed to kill. Saint was a
clas-sy clean guy so whatever he wore usually fitted him, same with Rose
too. When they met, Saint couldn’t hesitate to compliment Rose on her
charming looks, of which she blu-shed all throu-gh. They settled down and
made their orders and a conversation started afterwards.
“I’m glad you are here, thanks for coming” Saint said, “My plea-sure” Rose
confidently replied and he smiled. His eyes were fixed on her eyes and it
actually started ma-king her sweaty and a bit uncomfortable. “Why are you
looking at me like that?” she asked in a shy tone, “If it’s a crime to
stare into those beautiful eyes of yours, then just apprehend me” he
jokingly said and they both laughed.
As Rose sat there looking pretty, Saint had alre-ady undressed her in his
mind and was just praying for an easy wooing so he could eventually undress
her physically. Well, too bad because Rose wasn’t as desperate as the other
ladies and would definitely never settle for a ‘Call Girl’ position for any
man; not even the almighty Saint.
As they conversed further, Saint began to notice that Rose was a bit
difficult and wasn’t an easy prey, so he had to switch his technique even
if it meant for him to lie just to win Rose’s heart and trust. “Are you in
a relationsh!p?” he suddenly asked, “No I’m not, why asking?” she inquired
and he dropped a shocker; “I asked because I might be the lucky guy to fill
in that space in your heart.
Those words pierced Rose’s heart and left her speechless for a while. She
looked into his eyes and began to stammer. “But..but..” she said and before
she could finish her s£ntence, Saint placed his f!nger on herl-ips and
hushed her; “Shhuusss, No Buts! Just let me take care of you” he gently
said. Immediately afterwards, he stretched his b©dy and planted a soft k!ss
on herl-ips.
Rose blinked her eyes after the k!ssand was completely love struck at that
moment. She held her che-st as Saint drew back to his seat and quietly
muttered; “Oh My God”.
