How could she? After all we've been through-how could Chidinma have been sleeping with my boyfriend? I whispered to myself bitterly, heart clenched like a fist in my chest. But then the truth hit me like a slap-I wasn't any better.
I was lusting after her younger brother.
What was wrong with me?
I cursed under my breath, guilt crawling over my skin like fire ants. I sat on the edge of my dorm bed, the Bible she had gifted me two birthdays ago peeking out from under my pillow, untouched for weeks.
I wallowed bitterly, my thoughts swirling, dark and dangerous. It all began long before this. It started with the lives of three college friends-me, Chidinma, and Tolu. We were inseparable. Prayer warriors. Bible study leaders. We called ourselves "The daughters of God," a holy sisterhood bound by faith.
But faith, I had learned, could crack under pressure.
And temptation? Temptation was a patient demon, waiting for the right moment to strike.
