“Relax Becca, I will soon be leaving. I did not come for trouble…I came for peace. The cops do not have to know please. I wanted to inform you that I finally caught Silas. Yes, I found him where he relocated to. He was on a mission of deceiving ladies who are well to do. I called the cops on him and he was later arrested. The cops found out that two other women had laid a complain concerning him before. He is locked up now but I couldn’t recover all that he took from me. I and two other ladies that showed up after hearing of his arrest were compensated with just a token which can’t do much. I have to start my life all over again. Is really painful that the foolish Silas got me deceived with lies. He boldly told me that he will make me richer, famous and we will travel the world together. He wanted me to trust him and he also showed me evidence of countries he has traveled to and his fleet of cars and houses that he owned in different countries. After showing me those things which I thought was actually his own but never knew that he was a fraudster. I foolishly believed everything he told me and when he asked me to sell my car because he will get a better car for me or give me one from his fleet of cars, I got my car sold. He said he was processing my travel ticked and needed my bank account details and also my bank card is required. Without thinking it through, I foolishly gave him every of my bank details and also my bank card. The stupid Silas said he will be traveling for two weeks, by the time he returns back, every of my own travelling document and also my brand new car will be ready. It was within that period he disappear. All the money in my account was gone, the money for the car I sold was also in my account…everything vanished, Becca. I wanted to kill myself. How did I fall for his cheap lies? How exactly did I allow myself to become one of his victims? Becca, it was very painful. I refused to rest until Silas was caught, and I’m happy that he is in prison right now. He won’t be able to scam another lady with fake love and lies. Deceiving people with different things. He told one of the ladies that his name was Bryan and he was a movie director and will make her a famous actress. The girl fell for his tricks and lies. Mine was he was Silas and a gym instructor and also a therapist. Can you imagine? Becca, did you know that you could have end up as the victim if I didn’t show up? I thought he was a big fish, I never knew he was a dry fish filled with bones that got me choked….

I felt for Jojo, as she speaks I can see that she was truly pained and saddened by what Silas did to her. She got deceived because she wanted to be famous, travel all over the world and become a billionaire. Silas saw her weakness and used it to get her to the extent that she sold her car and all the money she made from other men was taking away by Silas.

The driver Ohio assigned to me was also like my body guard. He was huge like a bouncer and takes me everywhere I go. He walked up to me after standing and watching me and Jojo for some time. His name was Kontri.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Kontri looked at me and asked if there was a problem? I told him I was fine and safe. He looked at Jojo suspiciously before moving back to where he was standing, giving us a little distance.

If it was before, Jojo would have want to shoot her shot at Kontri who was her spec, her kind of man. But from her appearance I can see she was not comfortable with Kontri. She was obviously scared of him.

The only option is for her to pick up her pieces and start all over on a better note, not with her old ways of living. She used to say nothing gets to her and no man can ever hurt her, she dumps them before they will think of dumping her but Silas beat her to her own game.

“…. Becca, ca…can I get little cash to buy food stuffs? I know I don’t suppose to ask of anything from you after all I did. I’m sorry Becca, I thought I was indeed wise and smart. I allowed my jealousy to mislead me into hurting you severally. You have a great personality Becca. Whenever I take that one man you love and cherish most, another better one will emerge. You kept getting better and I was fighting a won battle. I’m really tired of fighting and also tired of all this men. I’m securing a job soon, I have already applied and with that I will be able to get back on my feet although is not easy after tasting wealth…but I’m ready to try. I just need some cash for now until the job clicks and my pay cheque start arriving. Your body guard doesn’t like me, he suspect me. Look at the way he is watching us? I want to disappear from this place but I need your help first. Please…Becca. I’m shamelessly asking you because I know you have a good heart and you will not watch me die of hunger…

I looked at Jojo after she made her last statement. She knew I had a good heart and decided to take advantage of it to deal with me.

She looks like she was going to break down and start crying like a child. Tears dropped from her eyes as she pleads. I was touched and will not let her die of hunger when I can help her. Jojo said she was sorry for her past actions but I know Jojo is a good actress, she was only pulling all this pity to herself so that she can get help from me.

I’m ready to help her but she must keep her distance after now. Our friendship has ended and i will never trust her closeness ever again.

I wasn’t having enough cash with me at that moment. Within that week Ohio transferred money to my account to do some shopping for myself and for my parents since I was moving in with them again and my last pay cheque was not touched. It was still intact.

I asked Jojo for her new account details after she told me she close down her old account because of Silas.

Jojo quickly called it out to me. I transferred enough money to her account which can pay her rent and get her standing again.

The only problem is that I won’t be doing any shopping for myself but I will get something for my parents.

Jojo almost prostrated to thank me after seeing the alert on her phone. She did not believe I will give her such amount of money. She wanted to hug me but I asked her to leave and never show her face close again. She was jumping happily. She looked at Kontri who was still watching us and winked at him before running off.

After she left, I began to smile. The Jojo I know will never change. But I like the happiness I see on her face, it made me smile. But even at that, Jojo can never be my friend again. I only helped her because my heart couldn’t stand her pain.

I moved back to my parents’ house and spend some of my weekend in Ohio’s house. Even when he traveled I still go there during weekends.

After another month passed by, we were all ready to resume our wedding plans. Ohio and I started our plans again. Kontri was assigned to follow me everywhere and make sure I was safe. I don’t really like the idea of Kontri driving me everywhere and watching me like a hawk to a chick.

I feel safe enough, I don’t need a guard and do not think anybody will want to try and hurt me again. But Ohio wouldn’t hear of that.

He told me that he can’t bear the thought or be able to live with himself if anything happens to me. he said I was already exposed to danger and Kontri will be both my driver and body guard until he is very sure everything is well settled.

During Ohio’s free time he teaches me how to drive. I was learning so fast while our wedding plan was still ongoing even though we have not gotten pass the kissing level yet.

I still speak with Teri concerning our wedding hall and how the decoration will be.
