Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 55

They waited for me to make a decision. Monica stood quietly by her car talking with Mercy. I asked to speak alone with Monica.

Mercy moved away to join the others. I stood in front of Monica.

‘I’m sorry about the pain I caused you by hooking up with your husband. I was stupid and foolish. I hope you find a place in your heart to forgive me.’

Monica folded her hands. ‘Ex-husband.’ She moved closer. ‘Did he ever hit you?’

I nodded. ‘Yes he did. Several times. He did worse than that. He made a sex video of us and threatened he’ll upload it if I leave him.’

‘Stupid man. I wonder what made me hold on to him for that long. I saw it coming even while we were dating but I was just too dumb to call off the relationship. Ranti made me feel like a woman and I just couldn’t leave him. After the divorce, I went through depression that almost killed me. I had no friend in the US I could confide in and I was too ashamed to talk to my friends here. I pleaded with Ranti to come over. I wanted him so bad. He came and hurt me again. I was pregnant when I saw your pictures on his phone. I just went crazy.’

I sighed. ‘I’m really sorry Monica.’

‘He made me feel I was ugly and he was the only one who could accept me. I believed him. I needed him. I gave him whatever he wanted. He lived off me Tinuke. Thank God I reached out to a Christian psychiatrist. I don’t want to bore you with my horrible past. I just want to say I don’t have anything against you. You can continue to live in the apartment as long as you want.’

I shook my head. ‘I can’t stay there anymore. Too many painful memories.’

‘I understand.’

Monica stretched out her hand. ‘It’s nice meeting you Tinuke.’

I took it. ‘Same here.’
