Betrayal 2

Looking back I was still that geek from the first day of high school whom he had shielded me then I guess maybe he felt a little for me.

We spend two years of our high school days, but the Tinaye I knew was just a front. I was always aloof because of my looks at least his attention, brought back that girl in me. I now cared about my self-image, I actually made effort to look presentable.

He used to wait for me so that we could walk together in the hallway, we were so inseparable for a change I actually had a life and I think others also envied me, my luck to have grabbed the school hunk all for myself.

We decided we had to safeguard our future, I was going to learn more about the family business in depth, and he had to go to university. We were supposed to get wedded soon after and he would also join in the family business, however none of that came to pass as he is now rotting away in some prison cell.

Klein made me understand that Tinaye was only interested in me due to my family business, he had to do all it took for him to obtain a portion of my wealth. There I stood dumbfounded not wanting to believe it but it was evident that I had fully been hooked. I was even shocked to know that Sally was part of the plot to make me jealous to make me realize my feelings in time.

All this time I thought I was clever, had him wrapped around my finger but I was only being treated for a fool.

As I stood there listening I could neither gather my emotions, nor even amass the power to weep tears like streaked down my eyes, I was powerless could not hold my composure. Klein took me in his arms comforted me, I felt as vulnerable before him as I continued to weep.

The next morning I could not remember what really transpired, the previous night all I knew is I woke up in my own house with Klein waking me up to coffee. For a second I could not fathom what had transpired, had I been taken advantage of, before I could utter a word Klein confirmed that nothing had occurred between us.

He just felt it wouldn’t be right to abandon me at my worst at least he could land me a shoulder. After the heavy blow he had just dealt, I was so aloof and nervous around him, less I lower my guard and fall head first into another conspiracy.

It took all the brain cells in me to be truly convinced that I had been part of a weird conspiracy, still my heart could not let go, I truly loved him and I did not care even if he was to use me as a door mat or a cleaning rug. I just needed him there, my heart wanted him. I could not sleep nor drink, we hadn’t spoken nothing of our separation had been confirmed. I knew he didn’t love me, but surely my love for him could make it work for the both of us.

I didn’t need him to love me back, he just had to acknowledge my presence at least I could cope in my day to day living. I desperately needed him to survive. He was still my life line. I could not tell if it was denial or maybe I was still very obsessed with him I could not let him all.
