chapter 8-twobirds,one stone

My relationship with Steve continued,we were fine and no one noticed.steve would buy for me alot and sometimes he would give me money,we would drive around in his car.oh I felt loved,I felt pampered,I was living the dream.

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.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.we had confidence.

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.One of the nights Steve had came over and I was on my period and he was not pleased at all but he pretended he was fine and I assumed that we both slept but no Steve did not.

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 got soo scared 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.

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 to a monster.

Still my mother was doubtful about my sister's situation she could sense something was up.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.
