chapter 8-twobirds,one stone

My relationship with Steve continued secretly,we were fine and no one noticed,no one cared ,everyone was caught up in their affairs.steve would buy for me alot and sometimes he would give me money and we would drive around in his car like two love birds.

oh I felt loved,I felt pampered,I was living the dream.i felt like I had leveled up,I was way better than my peers.i no longer craved for their lunch box since I started eating expensive things which Steve normally bought for me.The girls in my class started getting jealous of me and some started gossiping and asking questions.i ignored them,I was not bothered by them at all.I knew that they wanted a taste of my life at that moment .I felt older and mature,like I was Steve's wife's age.

I started getting used to our sexual activities though it was painful most of the time.steve had assured me that it had to be like this if I'm a good woman.i loved it when he would constantly treat me like a matured lady.because of him I started wearing more nice and classy,he bought bags and heels for me.I became even more stylish than his wife who was known as the most stylish one in the community.That year ,that Christmas we were top notch we were nothing compared to what we wore previous years even my mom had a new attire on which I lied to them and said someone paid us and requested that we would give her dresses whenever she needed them .I was happy to see my family looking beautiful,we had confidence and we were loving it.Even though I had lied to them ,I felt like it's was totally worth it.

Steve would often come over when ever my mom would be at night services at her church.

That was when we would get a chance to be intimate,the following day he would buy some fabrics for me to be able to carry out my lie that I was selling.steve awarded me for my patience and quietness.I gave him what he loved and he gave me what I loved,though I was no longer that much interested in fashion but I was still obligated to do so inorder for things to be in order . In order for us to deceive everyone.Its became funny when some would be jealous at me whenever my mother would tell them I am selling quite alot.i had told mother than I was selling in town just so that I could get time with Steve without anyone from the community noticing us,it's was also because we knew that if I had said people from the community were the ones supporting me it would soon come out that they are not.

One of the nights Steve had came over and I was on my period,I had told him I swear that I had told him on the phone but I guess I was not direct with my words.I guess I wanted him to come over so that he could protect us yet again.Steve was not pleased at all about this,he even insisted that my mentruation was not a barrier to him but I insisted that it's was not good,it's was not pure and God would not be pleased.After persuading him ,he pretended he was fine and I assumed that we both slept but no Steve did not,Steve was wild awake that whole night and so was the devil.satan took his chances and won.

Steve the great,Steve the protector,Steve my very own boyfriend,Steve my father's friend,Steve the one we all trusted raped my sister that very night and threatened to kill her.

Dolly was very young,she was just eight years old when this monster engulfed him.she got soo scared that she did not tell anyone and we did not noticed because she had always locked herself in her room but mom did .

She asked her what was wrong but she managed to convince her that she was fine.after that day Steve started acting weird,he started getting jealous when ever he would see me next to anybody,Steve started beating me and making demands,he started giving me less money.naive me did not care to investigate as to what was triggering him.

I was worried about my Steve,I wanted to make him happy so much,I offered to give him anything he might want but still Steve was no longer the same.steve had drastically changed from the loving and humble Steve we all knew into a monster we never knew existed.

Still my mother was doubtful about my sister's situation she could sense something was up.Her mother instincts kicked in and she offered to take her to the clinic the following day but when Dolly heard her say this she became more scared than she was before.she knew that if they took her to the clinic they would then found out which is why she opted rather than Steve to kill her it's better she kills herself.

Woke up the following morning my sister was dead,dolly had passed away.Dolly had been very depressed and scared and this was the last toll.she wrote a letter to us before she hung herself,she narrated what had happened between her and Steve.

I got furious and I screamed 'so Steve had been cheating on me,Steve has been cheating on me and his wife' my mother and second sister were very surprised.They immediately broke down and cried,my mom cried so hard her voice could no longer take it.my sister called the police and ambulance.The situation was awkward,scary and eye opening.it was clear to us that Steve was not the person we thought he was.
