#BIANCA

MEN!… they’re the worst of all of God’s creation.. Though God made them to be superior to us women, they’re no better than the devil himself.

If there’s anything I hate more than lying is being taken for a fool.. I may be too self centered but I’m not stupid.

Ever since Peter introduced Angelina, he’s been acting strange, too strange in fact.. He has been paying attention to me like he used to back when we first met and I barely see him anymore.

I thought it was work keeping him scarce or busy but little did I realize, It was that sneaky b-tch Angelina occupying his time.

Dora warned me about her but I never took her seriously, I thought Angelina was just a good friend of Peter but it looks like it was more than that.

Whenever we’re all together, I see the way they stare and react towards each other, There was big mystery behind that stare and body language cause there was a meaning behind all of it.

What caught my attention was Peter’s stare towards Angelina. I’ve spent years with him and in all the moments we’ve spent together he has never looked at me that way, not even for a second. That kind of stare wasn’t just obsession or interest, it was a stare that indicated deep intense love or undying love.

For a while, I thought I was just imagining things but then things began to get out of hand, Angelina was moving in on my territory and before I could realize that, it was already too late,… First, she stole my spotlight, She now plays exciting movie roles that was suppose to be mine, and her acting ratings were better than mine.. Soon, she was getting sponsors, contracts and awards, taking away all the fame and glory that was supposed to be mine.

Soon her fame began to eclipse mine, Despite my connections, Angelina got more offers than I, The directors would first approach her before looking at my direction, I felt deserted and unwanted, They made me look like a substitute to her, I felt like I was walking behind her shadow and I hated that.

To make things even worst, Angelina was winning the admiration of everyone with her friendly and warm nature, even without connections, She got favors from varieties of influential people.

Gradually, The admiration I had for her began to turn into hatred and jealousy, There was nothing I hated more than unfair competition and that is what Angelina is.

As much as I hate to admit it.., she’s more talented, beautiful, shaped than I and she’s using all her charms to her advantage.. At first I thought she was sleeping with the directors to get what she wanted and in my moment of desperation, I did the unthinkable by having a quickie with some of the directors just to get cast in a movie role, But it turns out, I was wrong about Angelina, she didn’t do any of those things, It was her talent and reputation that paved the way for her.

For a while, I felt miserable realizing that I had cheated on Peter, though this wasn’t the first time I had s-x with a director just to get a movie role, I was doing this even before I met Peter, but this time around things were different, Peter and I are engaged and I shouldn’t have done what I did.

After battling with my guilty conscience, I promised myself never to so such a thing and decided to remain faithful to Peter,… For a while, things were quiet and I beginning to think maybe I was overreacting but my worst fears were confirmed when Peter and Angelina didn’t show up at Francis party, I tried calling his number but he wasn’t answering, before I could go out and search for him, A heavy rain fell making it impossible for me to go out, Everyone had to stay in Francis house after the party..

The next morning, We later found out that Peter and Angelina had been misdirected thanks to Francis himself.

As we got to where they were, we spotted Peter and Angelina standing together by the pool side.

At first, I thought nothing had happened but then I noticed something… Angelina was wearing the shirt I had bought for Peter from overseas, I needed nobody to tell me that the two of them had s-x last night, Even when I hugged Peter, I could smell Angelina’s aura all over him.

No words could describe the anger and rage I felt in my heart, I wanted to blast Peter and hurt Angelina but then I asked myself why I was mad about Peter’s infidelity? I too had cheated on him once, so this should be considered as a score for what I did. It took a while but I finally got over the issue but my hate for Angelina was still burning.

Time went by after that and things were starting to shine for me, Peter got me a movie role and the best part was, the film was a big project, but gladly thinking that Angelina was benched aside but then I was shocked when I heard she got a modeling gig from three Mobile companies and that She made Peter her manager.

As much as I didn’t want this to happen, There was nothing I could do to stop it , Peter went on with Angelina to spend a week in Lagos for her modeling gig, I couldn’t sleep well at nights not while that B-tch was spreading her legs for my fiancee.

One Sunday evening after tiring movie shoot, I came home with Dora and consulted her about the matter , She listened attentively as I told her everything, immediately I was done, she gave her opinion about the issue.

Dora ➡ Wetin I tell you? Wetin I tell you?… I told you that scheming b-tch was up to no good… Now look what has happened.. She’s now eating your own hard earned food with you.. No wonder she broke up with Collins.

Bianca ➡ Hold on! She broke up with Collins?

Dora ➡ Yes o.. She even chased him away with dogs.. Can you imagine this insult?

Bianca ➡ What do you think I should do?

Dora ➡ …… You certainly can’t compete with her.. She’s too good and too talented… But there’s something you can do settle the score… Let’s go visit a herbalist.

Bianca ➡ HERBALIST!? DORA! WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU? ARE YOU INSANE?

Dora ➡ Jesus.. Calm down.. What’s wrong?

Bianca ➡ You want me to visit a Babalawo? I can’t believe you still call yourself a Christian.. I’m not that desperate to go to that extent.. What good will I achieve by destroying someone’s life? … I’m not that heartless. Count me out.

Dora ➡ Stop jumping to conclusions.. I never said anything about ruining or destroying Angelina’s life… I was hoping we’d get a love portion to capture Peter’s attention… I’m sure that’s what Angelina is doing.

Bianca ➡ Love Portion??? God forbid… Who needs a love portion? Any woman that uses that to get the man of her choice is a shame to womanhood… Love portion? No way.. I want Peter to love me by himself, I won’t use some stupid love concoction to get his love.

Dora ➡ Okay fine.. What are you going to do?

Bianca ➡ Simple… I’ll go to that b-tch and warn her to stay away from my man.. I have to let her know that I’m aware of her schemes.

Dora ➡ Okay o… If you say so. Besides.. I hear that she’s coming back tomorrow.

Bianca ➡ Good… I’ll go see her. I won’t sit down and let her play with my man.

In that moment, Dora and I heard a knock on the door, I stood up and went to check who it was. As soon as I opened the door, I saw my friend, Zainab.

We screamed excitedly and hugged each other, after that, I welcomed her into my house, Dora exchanged pleasantries with her and we all sat down gisting excitedly.

Zainab ➡ Bi bye Bianca… How far? It’s been a while.

Bianca ➡ Yes o Zainab… So it is now that you chose to show up abi?

Zainab ➡ Sorry o.. I was busy with some things…. So how’s the Nollywood biz?

Bianca ➡ Hmm, well it’s great… There was some good and bad moments.

Zainab ➡ Well.. I’m happy for you… I saw the picture of your fiancee and I must say.. I’m surprised.

Bianca ➡ Surprised?

Zainab ➡ Yes.. I was absolutely surprised when I saw you’re were engaged to that Loser.. Peter Wright.

Bianca ➡ Hold it right there… Don’t talk about my Fiancee like that… He’s not a loser.

Zainab ➡ Relax… I knew him back in the day… He’s my course mate back in the university.

Dora ➡ (surprised) FOR REAL?

Bianca ➡ You’re joking?

Zainab ➡ No I’m not…. I knew him.. He was a geek ? back in the day… He was so silent and shy and not so very cool…. But I must admit.. He looks pretty good than before.. I never thought he’d be as successful as he is today… Looks like he’s no longer with with sweet Angelina anymore.

Bianca ➡ WAIT O…. Did you say Angelina? You know her as well?

Zainab ➡ Yes, she was the most popular girl back in our campus days.. She sets the trend and the most coolest chick. Let me just say, she’s the Rihanna of the campus. Despite her fame, she had one setback.

Dora ➡ Which is?

Zainab ➡ She had this annoying crush on Peter… She loves the guy so much that she could literally do whatever he asks her to. Of all the best guys in the school, she ignored them all for Peter, but her love for him wasn’t in vain… Despite being a geek… Peter is also a brainy.. He helped her out with her projects and school work, thanks to him, she gets high CGPAs.

Me and the girls tried whatever we could to separate those two but it was all in vain… We thought those two would be inseparable but it seems that they’ve finally separated from each other.

Bianca ➡ I don’t think so… That’s the problem I’m currently facing right now… Peter and Angelina are seeing each other.

Zainab ➡ WHAT!?

Dora ➡ Yes o… They’ve even had an affair.

Zainab ➡ Waiyoo… Poor Bianca. You’re in a huge problem… Sannu. (Sorry)

Bianca ➡ What problem am I in?

Zainab ➡ Listen to me… Your relationship with Peter will never work as long as Angelina is around… Those two are like some kind of strong kinetic force… They’re so into each other, not even the devil himself can interfere… If you don’t want to catch an emotional stroke, just dump this guy and let him be with Angelina.

Bianca ➡ This is ridiculous… Are you insisting I surrender the love of my life, my soulmate to that b-tch?

Zainab ➡ Look… I know these two longer than you… There’s nothing you can do win. I’m guessing Peter has second thoughts about marrying you.

Though she meant no offense, Zainab’s words pierced my heart, as if I was stabbed with a red hot iron… Dora was right all along, that Angelina was up to no good… All this time she had been smiling like an innocent soul, I never knew she was a devil in disguise.. While my guard was down, She was busy reliving her pasts moments with Peter.

As for that lying b-stard.. He told me they were just childhood buddies but it seems they were more than just friends.. So all this time he was absent, he was with Angelina having the best times of his life with her…… D--N!!! How could I not have noticed this earlier?

Bianca ➡ Thanks for your advice Zee… But I won’t give up Peter.. He’s mine now.. Not hers. I won’t let Angelina take him away from me.

Zainab ➡ Okay o.. Don’t say I didn’t warn you?.. You should quit while you’re ahead.

Bianca ➡ No.. I won’t.. I’ll show that Angelina that I’m just as good as she is for Peter.

Zainab ➡ Okay. If you say so… By the way.. I have to get going now… There are some friends I need to visit.. Good night.. Till we meet again.

Bianca ➡ Okay.. Bye ?.

Zainab left the house afterwards, as soon as she was gone, Dora and I continued from where we stopped.

Dora ➡ My God… What are you going to do now Bianca? As much as I hate to say this, I think you should listen.

Bianca ➡ NO! NO! NO!… I Won’t let that glamouring b-tch steal my man away.. He’s mine.. I’ve already punched my ticket on him… I won’t let her have him.. Giving up Peter would mean she’s a better woman than I am.. And I can’t accept the fact that they can’t be separated.

Dora ➡ So what are you going to do?

Bianca ➡ Do you have your herbalist’s number? I need to get that love portion.
