about?,…. What does that guy have to
offer,….. Seems you dont know Richard
Johnson,…. I almost got him, if not for
that girl’s return? ”
” Tope!!!!!, are you referring to Angela as that girl?,… I’m surprised at your sudden

You used to love this girl,…. You shared
all you had with her,… You were more
like sisters,.. You threw away everything
you shared because of a man?,……. I’m disappointed with you,….. “kemi said in
annoyance
” I loved her, i did everything for her,..
This is the only man i’ve loved all my life,

him to me,…. I did my best to get his attention but he went for Angela,…
When Angela disappeared, i broke up
with my boyfriend just to be with him,….
Just look at me,… Cant you see how
much i love that guy,… Oh gosh!!!, he’s so
handsome,…. I wanted to follow them around to be sure they won’t do anything
stupid,… ”
” You better stop dreaming,… Everyone
knows how much he loves Angela,….
Have you forgotten how you never
supported their relationship?,…. I thought you never liked the guy,…..
“Kemi asked
” I did all that out of jealousy,… I want
Richard,…. ”
” You’re funny,…. You’re dying for a man
that is expecting his baby from a girl he loves so much,….. Dont you think you’re
fighting a lost battle?,….. ”
” Lost battle?,….. Never? ”
” Tope pls stop,….. I know you cant hurt a
fly,… Why are you giving devil the
chance to use you,….. You should be praying for your friend and her lover to
amend their relationship,…. You told me
all she passed through,… Dont you think
she has suffered enough?,… Cant you
just leave her alone to enjoy her
relationship,….. ” ” Kemi, i blame myself for involving you in
an issue that is not your business,…. I’m
now a villain,….. You now see me as a
bad girl just because i’m fighting for my
man,….. ”
” He was never your man and he ‘ll never be your man,…. ”
” Dont underestimate what i’m capable of
doing,….. ”
” Just look at how you’re sweating over a
man,a man who doesn’t want to see you,
…. Imagine the way he jilted you infront of the Restaurant ,…. Or have you
forgotten how he abandoned you outside
his house, or how he nearly beat the hell
out of you in the hospital,… You better
think about your actions,….. “kemi
advised her ” Kemi,pls i want to be left alone,… I’ll
talk to you later,… I need to rest”
“Take all the rest in the world,… Think
about your life,…. Pray that your friend
regains her memory,…… “kemi said
closing the door behind her The last statement made her smile,……

Richard is,.. I’ll pay her a surprise
visit,.but wait oooo, how did Richard
manage to convince Angela to follow him
