Must Read: Love and Revenge - Season 2 - Episode 23

‘how did you leave prison?’ Lex said handing a cup of hot tea to her, then he sat on a cushion opposite her.
‘well….’ Sandra said sipping from her tea ‘its a long story. And you dont expect me to spend the rest of my life there right? Was that your plan?’

Lex smiled tiredly raking a hand through him hair. He had to go to work, Ciara had a photoshoot, he didnt know why this devil had come to see him. He had threatened to deal with her, he hadnt forgotten but for the meantime because he had a lot of things on his mind and Sandra was the least of his problems. He would so deal with her later she would regret coming out of prison.
‘well, thats by the way. Someone bailed me out of the kindness of his heart, i dont even know the person. And…..’ she trailed off.
‘and what?’
‘i…i need your help Lex, i….need somewhere to stay. The apartment where i lived before, the landlord broke the lock and threw my things out after bringing in a new tenant. He left my things under the sun and under the rain. Most of them got spoilt, even some of my clothes. A very good friend and neighbour of mine helped me keep one box containing some of my clothes and underwears and i’m lucky for that because currently, i’m very broke, i have nowhere to stay, no friend to go to, no money on me. Life has been terrible to me Lex. I need a job. I need money. And most especially i need a place to lay my head on’ She said and sipped from her tea.
Lex frowned. This was it. Another ploy. The reason she had come to see him. He could percieve just by looking into her eyes that she had ulterior motives. In the past, he would have let her stay without bating and eyelid but now he was wiser. Sandra wasnt one to trust.
‘what of Ann anyways?’ she asked suddenly like she only remembered.
‘Ann…..well, she travelled but she will be coming back this evening’ if this alone was enough to chase her away, then he would be glad.

She sighed ‘oh God! I dont want what happened last time to repeat itself. Ann is a troublemaker and i dont want temptations because i cant resist it at all. What do we do now?’
‘we?’ Lex cocked an eyebrow.
‘arent you helping me again?’
Did i say i wanted to help you before? Lex thought ‘not that…..look Sandra, its past eight already. I havent even showered nothing and i have to go to work. Ciara has…….’

‘you still work for Ciara?’ Sandra interjected ‘unbelievable! You still work for that untrained animal, you have some guts Lex’

‘on the contrary, Ciara is no animal, she’s actually the nicest person i’ve ever come across. Even you can attest to that because you once said it yourself’
Sandra rolled her eyes ‘whatever! So back to our discussion Lex, i dont want to take much of your time. How do i get the help i’m looking for?’
‘seriously?’ Lex couldnt believe his ears. What was he to her? Her dad? She was really crazy ‘you know what? Just go. When i close from work in the evening, i’ll call you. We’ll meet up somewhere else and we’ll talk but for now….just go’
‘go where? I said i have nowhere to go to!’
‘go back to where you came from this morning na! I said i’ll call you’ Lex said standing up.

‘my kind neighbour allowed me pass the night at her house after which her foolish husband kicked me out this money simply because he came up to my room in the middle of night trying to have his way with me and i refused. He so humiliated me this morning and called me a shameless seductress, can you imagine? My friend didnt believe him though. She just gave me transport fare and some food and told me to avoid her husband anyhow possible and that she’ll keep in touch. So you see? I cant go back there. As we speak, my box is in front of your gate. You’re my only hope right now, please dont turn me down. I know i did so many terrible things in the past but they can equally be forgiven, i mean i’m not the only one who’s commited attrocities’ She said shrugging nonchalantly.

What nonsense! This girl certainly didnt have manners and there was no way he was going to help such a person.
