Chidi :i am better than him in everything
Amara: really,do you really think so of yourself, well to me you are lesser then anything i know
Chidi :i am lesser but do you know why letting you hurt my heart,
Amara :hurt,you are talking about hurt, what about you
Now her voice was Loud
Amara :you didn’t hurt my heart you broke it (tear rolling down her cheek )and you stand here to tell me you were hurt,i give you more than I had and you took it for granted, you put me in a situation i never hoped of facing in my life.
Chidi was t©uçhed and his heart was bleeding inside
Chidi angrily )i didn’t take you for granted, i never took your heart and break it,i have always accepted all what you gave and i cherished it,i didn’t let you down but amara you left me,you choose to believe him and you left me without thinking twice,if it was you amara i couldn’t have left i could have stayed with you and figure things out myself, do you know how i have been all this years trying to forget you,you took everything from me,you look me at the face and said your goodbyes,no matter how wrong i was you could have still looked at me,you were the one that lied to me,you promised never to leave me no matter what but you left me,you were the one that took me for granted,cause you took the love i gave to you and throw it back to my face,you were the one that broke my heart,because you couldn’t trust me,you know what maxwell is not the devil you are,and believe me i regret ever loving you and curse the day i met you,i c@m£ to talk thinking it was the right thing to do but now I just knew i made a mistake.
Chidi angryly left,Amara was dumbfounded she couldn’t say a word or do anything but to cry her heart out.
The next morning amara didn’t go to work,she wasn’t feeling too well because of the encounter she had with chidi,she saw maxwell missed calls on her phone, maxwell has been calling her since yesterday night,she tried calling him back but his phone was switched off,she then decided to go see him because she knew she had to give him an explanation and if she doesn’t go now it will get worse, she arrived at maxwell house and horn,the gate man quic-kly open the gate and she drove in,she c@m£ down from the car the gate man finished closing the gate.
Amara :is your oga around
Gateman:yes he dey inside
Amara lock the door of her car and went inside the house as she entered the sitting room she met maxwell k!ss!ngand R0m-ncing a girl on the couch, she wasn’t surprised on what she was seeing because that wasn’t the first time she has caught him,she has caught him on two occasions,one in an h0tel and the other in a restaurant, she drop her bag on the table which made a sound that got maxwell attention, maxwell was so disappointed when he saw amara
Maxwell :you didn’t tell me you were coming
Amara :your phone was switched off and i just know why,your hands were full
Amara looked at both of them with disgusted
Amara :maxwell i thought your br@in were working now i see that there is nothing in there,if you want to do this ru-bbish could you at least go upstairs, what if someone else walked in here and saw you fooling yourself with this what ever her name is,or should I call her thing
The girl got angry
Girl:what did you just say, you open your month to insult me
Maxwell looked at her with anger
Girl:see you better behave yourself or else,
Maxwell shouted )will you shut up
The girl was confused to hear what maxwell said
Maxwell :do you realise you are talking to my fiancee, who told you to talk,now get out,(but she was still sitting looking at maxwell as if she didn’t hear what he said)i said get out before I kill you
The girl quic-kly took her belongings and left upset
Maxwell :are you happy now you have succeeded in spoiling my good mood
Amara :for real (now upset)you call this good mood,you call slee-ping around with girls good mood,what are you thinking that doing this will make me go to be-d with you.
Maxwell :if i wanted to have se-x with you believe me it won’t take me a minute to do it,and beside why are you bothered,you should be thankful they are actually doing the job you couldn’t do.
Amara:i hate you maxwell, and i regret knowing you,the truth is that I can’t believe I left chidi for you,only God knows who the real devil is
Maxwell :Are you telling me this to my face
Amara :i am not telling you i am letting you know, and if you are not careful maxwell, if I could leave chidi yours will be too easy
She took her bag and left,maxwell called her back but she didn’t even wait one seconds,maxwell was so mad and angry, Amara drove out of maxwell house,she bur-st into tears while driving, she couldn’t think straight and nee-ded some company,she drove down to Sandra shop,sandra own a big supermarket, after school she wanted to do something different for herself and she got the idea of opening a supermarket her father help her in building, the place and give her money to start it up and ever since then she has been doing well,she went straight to Sandra office,sandra was surprise to see amara so depressed and in tears, she consoled her and sat her down,she went to her sit and sat down.
Sandra :what is it,why are you looking this way
Amara :Sandra, i am so confused, i don’t know what to do
Sandra :what happened
Amara :i caught him again with another woman right in the sitting room,i don’t know what to do
Sandra :what did he say this time
Amara :same old story
Sandra :how long will this go on,i don’t get it,why can’t you put a st©p to all this ru-bbish,maxwell isn’t good for you,end this so called relationsh!pand find someone else who will really love you.
Amara :it’s not as easy as you think,my parents wants me to marry him and they won’t accept anyone else but him,and secondly how can I deal with myself if I leave him,he owns almost everything i have,you know without him i won’t be working now.
Sandra:amara listen to yourself, look don’t let situation make decision for you,you have to stand up for yourself, i don’t know what more to say that will make you see reasons with me,can’t you see you are suffering.
Amara :i am trying Sandra i am,but I just don’t know how to get away from him,my parents
Sandra :st©p talking about your parents, don’t worry you can do this, yes you can just try to have a little faith and all will be well
Amara st©ped crying and Sandra tried to cheer her up
Sandra :so what happened between you and chidi yesterday after you left he was looking for you
Amara was surprise
Amara :he was
Sandra :yes,what happened i didn’t get to ask you yesterday, so
Amara :i really don’t want to talk about this today
