And throughout that week I only saw him once and he was going out with my boss. My boss was doing all the talking while he was listening while walking down.

He looked towards my direction and I quickly looked away. Maybe is for the better to let him be. He has a woman already, this is the second time I will be hearing him mention Lili. She is probably the beautiful lady that used to come around with him.

Since he has a woman, why is he still showing interest in me and making me to fall for his charms. It will be better I just zero my mind from him instead of getting myself hurt again.

Maybe I will give Jojo his contact so that she can leave me alone.

While at home that weekend thinking over my life and what I will do with the pressure my people was putting on me to bring my man for them to see. Jojo came over to visit.

I have stored a lot on my heart and was willing to talk to someone who could understand me.

Jojo asked me about Mr Ohio, I planned giving her his contact but I later changed my mind and told her that he was not yet back and I don’t still have his contact details.

I was about sharing some of my burden with her when i remembered the lady with Richard at the cinema.

I have not seen Jojo ever since then and seeing her now reminds me of that day.

I stylishly asked her what she has being upto recently and how she and her sugar spent their weekends and also preparing for their “happy ever after life”

She looked puzzled that I care to know every details of her movement with her man and she was eager as always to share.

“Sugar has being boring me with the wedding plans, he took me to his family house, took me out for shopping and even to the cinema and few other places. I told him I spent the whole wedding gown money and will be needing another cash. Ri…. Sugar was very angry, can you imagine that he was asking me what I spent the whole money on? I was not going to let him feel like he was doing me a favor with the marriage thing. I was even looking for opportunity to call it quit but I still have to play along due to all the benefits I get from him. I was angry with him for asking me such dumbest question… of what I spent the money he gave me on. He can be very annoying. I walked out on him and he drove down to beg me, he told me about the latest movie that was out in the cinema and asked to take me there. It was even a boring movie at the end and he saw that I was not still happy after the whole movie thing. Sugar asked me what I wanted that will make me happy, hmmm… i told him I need money to get some jewelries in a fashion shop beside the cinema. He gave me his credit card after saying he doesn’t have any cash on him. I used his credit card to purchase everything I wanted while he was waiting for me. When I returned back I was beaming with smile. He was on a phone call, speaking to his friend who will be his best man during our wedding that may never happen. After he was done with the call and saw all the debit alert messages on his phone…hahahahaha. I watch as his face turned red. He wanted to say something mean to me but he end up saying…”honey…you know we have a wedding at hand, and we need to spend wisely. Please, try to be an understanding wife… blablabla. Well, I told him that I was not his wife yet, he said that in a matter of few weeks I will become his. I laughed at him in my mind because he doesn’t know my plans. He later transferred another wedding gown money to me after I refused to go with him to purchase it. I have already started spending the money again. I planned to get another car for myself and few weeks from now the car will be ready. So is unfortunate that Sugar is the only one planning for his wedding alone. He is engaged to himself and will be getting married to himself because I’m not interested in any so called wedding. My target is Ohio and I will keep waiting until he comes back from his travel. Please always update me whenever he comes please. I trust you will do that for me Becca. I also look forward to meeting your “honey” soon. I want to see the man that proposed to you. You are wearing an expensive ring Becca, which means your man must be a big fish. I wish you can introduce us…let me meet him to know the kind of man he is before you start proceeding. I want to look out for you so that your heart will not be broken again like Richie did….

I almost flew up and slap Jojo, I was burning angrily as I listened to her, laughing and talking about her dirty lifestyle with her sugar” who I just realize was actually Richard.

So, it was truly Jojo all this while, she was the same person I saw with him at the cinema. She never knew that I saw them. How could she ever betray me this way?This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

How could Jojo be laughing to my face and stabbing me behind. She was the same person that told Richard about me and my boss friend and it was her ear ring I saw at Richard’s place. But she lied against Anita. I’m glad I never took her word for it and accused Anita wrongly.

Now I understand why she gave him a pet name “Richie” she was already dating Richard even before he broke up with me.

Jojo was the person Richard was claiming is better off than me and he plan to settle down with her. I was even advocating for him unknowingly, speaking to Jojo to stop cheating on him. Is very funny how the table turned.

Now, I understand why she did not want me to meet him or see what her man looks like. Jojo really played a smart game on me but nemesis has caught up with her and Richard.

I’m so happy I never told her the story behind my engagement ring, I did not give her Mr Ohio’s contact to her.

As much as this hurt badly, hurting like fresh wound but I can’t help but laugh over how stupid both Jojo and Richard are. Richard is dating a lady who is obviously tired of him, Jojo want a man who is not interested in her.

How wonderful and funny can this be?

I really want to keep laughing at both of them but getting betrayed by the people I hold close to my heart was another thing I can’t just laugh over.

It hurt so bad to think the lady I called my dear friend, I told my secrets, who I have being dining and drinking on the same table with is behind my sadness.

She even have the gut to want the same man that I was beginning to like.

I guess Anita knew all this while, she and Jojo quarreled over something and they have not being in good terms ever since. Since she knew why didn’t she tell me or warn me about the kind of person I called a friend.

After Jojo left that evening, I couldn’t sleep. I was thinking about everything I just discovered. It breaks my heart into pieces that I get the worst of everything in life and in humans. Even friends can’t be trusted anymore.

I cried into my pillow that night again and was up the following morning. I will play along with Jojo until her cup is full to the brim and I will pour it to her face.

I don’t have any business with Richard because he is a confused man to have chosen a lady like Jojo over me. But I have a big business with Jojo and I will beat her to her own game.

It was not easy for me to cope with both my parents’ pressure and what I just recently discover from Jojo. It was not easy to live every day at a time despite I was trying to do exactly that. Living everyday was tough but I did not want to give people something more to chew, I want to leave them clueless on what is going on in my life.

As usual, I continued my work and also pretend as if I know nothing about Jojo and Richard.

Crawled into my shell and became hard nut to crack for anyone.

I took people as they are and did not fantasize over friendship with any.

If Jojo, who was close to me, she was one of my bosom friends I don’t joke with. If she can back-stab me and still come to laugh and dine with me then no friend is worth trusting.

Sometimes, while in the house or at work I will just start thinking about the whole thing that has happened to me both in the past and present, whenever I thought of it I can’t help to stop the tears from flowing.

I don’t supposed to hype myself for any reason but I know who I am. I am a good lady with a good heart who want to see others happy and succeeding. I’m willing to contribute to their happiness and will never take part in anything that will make them sad.

I used to be a happy girl, who laughs alot and plays too much. But I can’t remember how to really laugh or to be the woman I was meant to be.

I buried myself in work to escape depression. I refused to take any hard drugs, or drink my head off or even start messing around with other men.
