To forget about her past and that of her assaulter was all Rita wanted to do. But, then their fates had crossroads. Something that was hiding backstage all along... Something that would threaten to wreck her entire life along the newly found road to motherhood. Was it possible to be raped and gotten prematurely pregnant only to realize after series of misfortune that your assaulter had been right beside you the whole time? That the father of the bastard child you'd carried for months and mocks you'd endured on his behalf was no other than the person you'd held dearest in your heart. The agonizing pain you had to keep up with and then suddenly he returns and claims he's the father of the only precious thing in your life..... ~°~ Are his gorgeous looks and blinding wealth strong enough to console her for his terrible actions? Or will she have him pay for the pain he costs her years ago? ~°~ " We're destined for each other and you know it. He countered on his knees in tears. You're mine. My soulmate. Please!" My heart ached. My tears wouldn't stop falling. It was only a matter of time before my legs gave up and I lay on the hospital floor sobbing like a grievedchild. All my life I'd waited for this day... And now it'd come and I wasn't even strong enough to face it. " Soulmates don't go around raping girls in their houses. I spat in hate. Neither, do they wait for the result of their rape to die. Before, they confront them. All you bring is bad memory now.... It's over. You won... Are you happy?" I cried now and mom and Yinka consoled me gently wrapping their hands around me and what was left behind of her little lifeless body." #2~projectnaija~ 12/5/21 #2 in Nigerianromance ~ 23/2/21
