Mava.... Am sure he will change, he has never hurt me physically. 

Palm.... He will someday, trust me. 

Mava....But he hasn't. 

Palm.... Okay, if you insist. Anyway, i run a model agency and i think your just right for me.

Mava.... Wow! How many jobs do you have?

Palm.... Not many, but many. Am a lawyer and a model and i own a model agency, also, am a skilled fighter, i have many taekwond trophies, thats all. 

Mava.... Wow! Talented at such a young age, your really blessed.

Palm.... You too, your pretty and kind and sweet, and your likable. I have a friend and he wants a model to shoot an AD for his company, please say yes. 

Mava.... Nah, i will be fine. 

Palm.... Okay, no pressure, am going to paris but i will be back next week, so feel free to call me once you change your mind.

Mava.... Okay, i will. 

Palm.... Here is my number. 

Mava.... Wait... can i take you to my place for a sleep over? I kinda felt... safe around you.

Palm.... For real? I love sleep overs.

Mava... Good, my boyfriend is out for work, so, lets go. 

She took her to the apartment she lives in with Alvin. 

Palm.... This place is nice. 

Mava.... Thanks. Feel at home please. 

They watched a movie together and later slept. In the morning, Palm left a bundle of dollars on the table and left, later, Mava woke up but Palm had left already. 

Mava.... Wow! For the furst time in awhile, i felt alive and its really good to have friend who listens to you, she was sweet.

Alvin.... MAVAAAAA!

Alvin shouted her name, she rushed downstairs only to find him with the money Palm left, which Mava didnt knkw about. 

Mava.... Alvin, your back? Gosh, you scared me.

Alvin.... Did you bring a man over when i wasnt here? He was here last night?

Mava.... What are you talking about? What man?

Alvin.... Dont lie to me, i hate it. 

Mava.... It was a friend, but she already left. 

Alvin.... For all i remember is that you have no friends Mava, it was a man who even left this much money for your service. 

Mava.... What did you just say? Are you tryna say... that i slept with a man?

Alvin.... I wanna know, or maybe or your a lesbian now. 

Mava started crying. 

Mava.... I've had enough Alvin, stop accusing me. 

Alvin.... How dare you lie to me and even play the victim? You make my blood boil Mava.

He slapped her twice in the face, she slapped him back and he got angrier, he took off his belt and started hitting her, she was bruised in the back.

Alvin.... Dont even think about leaving me, because i will hunt you to the end of the world.

Mava ran and locked herself in the room crying her eyes out. 

Mava.... Palm was right, i cant live like this anymore, am tired of being scared of him, this is too much. 

She called on Palm's number but it was off, she left her a voice message crying.

Mava.... Hi Palm, its me Mava and i really need your help.... He... has become violent and... he... he... just hit me.... please help me because.... he wont let me leave the house.... please Palm. 

After two days of staying at home, she decided to go to work. 

Alvin.... Where do you think your going? 

Mava.... Am... going to the.... coffee shop. 

Alvin.... Says who? I got you that job and i will tell you when to go back, what if you meet up that doozy man again? 

Mava.... There was no man here... 

Alvin.... Enough! Anyway, i wanna do it right now because am tired of your Tom and Jerry games. 

He stood up and went to her, she was trembling in fear, he kissed her forcifully and started caressing her body, she started crying. 

Mava.... Please dont.... please... 

Alvin.... You think am stupid? I know very well that your still hung up on that kboy, why? You think i didnt know that you stalk his Instagram? You dont even want to have sex with me, it irritates me. 

Mava.... Am... am... am sorry.... 

Alvin.... Save it because this time, am not asking for it, am doing it forcifully because maybe, you like it the hard way. 

He pushed in the couch and she stood up to ran away, he grabbed her by her hair, but as he was still at that, the main door was opened and it was Palm with the police, she ran and kicked Alvin then started punching him. 

Officer.... Mrs Diaz please stop. 

Palm.... Listen to me asshole, this is gonna be the last time you lay you filthy hands on her, take him away officer. 

Alvin was cuffed and was taken to the police station. Palm took Mava to the hospital, she was treated all the bruises Alvin gave her. 

Palm.... I went out to bring you some food, how are you feeling now? 

She hugged her while crying. 

Mava.... You saved me Palm.... he was going... to rape me. 

Palm.... Shh... its okay now, your safe and am gonna make sure that he doesnt hurt you anymore. I've put a restrict order on him, so, he has to stay far away from you as he can. 

Mava.... I dont even know how to thank you Palm. 

Palm.... Its okay, your gonna stay with me because my place is safe. 

Mava.... I can tell Ava. 

Palm.... Your sister? Dont, she will be stressed about this, let alone your parents. 

Mava.... Your right anyway. 

Palm took Mava to her house and she was treated well, they became good friends. 

NamSoon.... Our drama was a success, am so happy. So, why did you call me here? Did you miss me? 

Jk.... Not that, NamSoon, am sorry for wasting your time but i cant do this anymore. 

NamSoon.... Do what? 

Jk.... This love thing, am still in love with my ex, i failed to move on from her and i couldnt keep lying to myself or to you. 

NamSoon.... Thats okay, its all good. Lets break up but not for the public yet, you know, we are still promoting our drama. 

Jk.... I understand, sorry again. 

NamSoon.... No worries, but can we sometimes.... meet for a hook up? Your kinda the best at that... and i wouldnt wanna miss that. 

Jk.... For real? Stop joking around, Ew! I just want to share all the beautiful moments with her, do all romantic stuff with her... 

NamSoon.... I was joking, anyway, i should get going.
