JEFFREY- Yes mama. Have found a good girl from a good background.

JOHN- Whose daughter is she?
JEFFREY- Papa, she is the daughter of Babra, the wife of late mr Damina.
STELLA- Oh...oh. Now I remember, the welder. He was such a nice man. Everyone likes him. I knew you won't make mistake. Her name is Kate...
JEFFREY- [cut in]Katerina

JEFFREY- papa, that daughter of a poor welder is my heartbeat. Is the one I want to marry. I love her. I love her even more than my own life. I love Katerina Damina.
JOHN- (stand) I will never allow that to happen and that is final.
JEFFREY- (stand) Never papa. Have always been obedient to you but this time, am very sorry, you don't have a say. I won't allow you or anyone to jeopardize my fututre with Katerina
JOHN- What future? Both of you have no future of being together. She isn't your class.
JEFFREY- Then who is my class?
JOHN- Belinda Michael. I promise his father that I will merge the two of you And that will bind our political relationship and further...
STELLA- (Protest) No, I won't sit here and watch you bring that spoilt brat into this family. Is marriage politics?
JOHN- (angry) woman...

STELLA- (But in) There is no but. Let them get marry as soon as possible.
JOHN- Is going to ruin my political relationship with Michael.
JEFFREY-father, if I am your true son and you love me, please grant my heart desire. I love her. It takes two good years before she accepted my proposal. I promise her everything. I can bear to betray. She doesn't deserve any of this. She is an exceptionally woman.
JOHN- She is a wolf in sheep clothing. She is only after your money. You need a woman who can assist you financially and not a woman who keeps demanding. I know her type. Slow poison. She is going to wretch your life.
JEFFREY- papa, don't do this to me.
STELLA- So you marry me because of my money?
JOHN- Honey please don't start it. You know I love you. I have...
STELLA- (weep) when I marry you, you had nothing. I introduced you to my family. They accepted you the way you were. They gave you connection. They make you who you are today. So you were after my money, afterall and you want my son to leave his heart desire and go after money?
JOHN- (try to pat her but stella dodge and hug his son) Is not what want you are thinking. I love you. I really do and...
STELLA- (interrupt) Then if you love me as you say and you want me to be happy, make my son happy.

+++ACT 2- SCENE 1+++
(Oscar came back from U.S.A together with Belinda. They had been dating for four years. They sat in Elshadi restaurant licking vanilla ice cream silently)
OSCAR- Belinda (he hold her hand but Belinda remove her hand from the table and frown)
BELINDA- What is it? Why did you bring me here?
OSCAR- Hey calm down. I brought you here to remind you that I love and that, am ready to spend eternity with you.
BELINDA-(gasped) what!
OSCAR- Yes dear, have been trying to reach out to you but you have been ignoring my calls. I don't know what is going on but all I know is that I love you. You are the air that I breath.
BELINDA- you have not arrive at a point yet.
OSCAR- Marry me, Belinda. (he genuflected and bring out a ring)
BELINDA- (stand)This is ridiculous. Please stand. You are embarrassing me. People are watching us.
OSCAR- But I love you.
BELINDA- Stop it. Please sit. Let's talk like mature people.
(they both sit)
BELINDA- Listen to me Oscar, I love you but that doesn't mean I have to end up with someone like you. Whatever we had together was just for fun...
OSCAR- (Surprise)What!
BELINDA- (gather courage) yes, I can't marry you. When I needed you, you were not there for me. You were busy with your so called contract. I need a man who desperately want me not the other way.
OSCAR- I'm sorry, Belinda. The contract was for the benefit of both of us. I want us to live a better life. To build a palace together, where servant will be at our beck and call. You will not suffer. I want you to live a happy life. I want the best for you, Belinda.
BELINDA- (Controlling her emotion) Am sorry, Oscar. You are dreaming. Please wake up and face reality. I will not disgrace my family by marrying you. The fact that the government gave you a scholarship to study abroad doesn't make us to be in the same class. We are world apart.
OSCAR- Belinda, I can't believe you are saying this after everything we share together.
BELINDA- Why are you being so annoying? Which is so hard for you to understand? Is it, I don't want you in my life or we are world apart?
OSCAR- I'm not going to give up on you. I know someone is been advising you.
BELINDA-(Stand) who could that be? I won't sit here and watch you insult me. Excuse me. (she walk out on him)

KATERINA- How is your relationship with Jeff?
KATERINA- Everything is smooth. He introduced me to his parent. His mother really likes me but I saw something on his father's eyes. It seem they force him to accept me. You know how rich people really value class or background.
BABRA- (Touch her cheek) don't worry Agnes. When he knows the kind of lovely angel you are, he will come around. He will accept you into their family and will no longer see you as a gold digger but as a blessing.

(Belinda and her mother plan on how to take over Katerina's place)
BELINDA- Mother, am tired of all this. Jeff doesn't love me but Oscar does. Even with the false evidence I have against him, he is not tame. He promise to make life miserable for me if he does't have Katerina. And Katerina is my Bff. I can't bear to betray her. This is getting...
BOSE- (cut in) she is the one betraying you. She took Jeff away from you and she deserve to pay for all this.
BELINDA- But she is innocent. She doesn't know I was betroth to jeff from childhood.
BOSE- that is the more reason you have to tell her the truth. I believe she will understand you.
BELINDA- But I love Oscar. Am even carrying his child.
BOSE- What!
BELINDA- Yes mother. Am six weeks pregnant for Oscar.
BOSE- Does he knows?

I guess this story is too boring. 2 many viewers but no comment

BOSE- Does he knows?
BELINDA- No, mother.
BOSE- Good thing he doesn't know and he must not know. You can't have a child for that bastard. He doesn't have background. He has no class. No child from the orphanage will be my son in-law.
BELINDA- So what will I do?
BOSE- you will go straight to Jeff and tell him you are pregnant for him.
BELINDA- What!
BOSE- Do you know the risk I took before marrying your father?
BELINDA- What risk, mother?
BOSE- It was the same case you are having. Your father was betroth to Emerald Denis, the daughter of late professor Mark. Your father is a kind of man who likes enjoying life to the fullest. He kept cheating on her until one fateful day, Emerald got the two of us in bed. And that was the end of their relationship. I took over from Emerald.
BELINDA- That was absurd. How could you do a thing like that?
BOSE- That is because, I was smarter than her. My dear, this world is the survival of the fittest.
BOSE- So father is cheating on you and you are not doing anything about it.
BOSE-What do you expect me to do? He is free to do whatever he likes so far he is taking care of me.
BELINDA- But I don't want to be like you. I want to marry a man who loves me and just me alone.
BOSE- That is fairytale. Such love doesn't exist. It is just a mere word that men used to deceive women. All men are cheater.
BELINDA- But Oscar never cheat on me.
BOSE- That is because he is careful. Do you know what he is doing right now? No, you don't. It is only the back that deceive people. Men can never be trusted.

OSCAR- What!

BABRA- What has he done this time?
KATERINA- He is asking for my hand in marriage when he knows am engage to Jeff and our wedding is around the corner. I had to resign to avoid complication.

(Belinda and Jeffrey at Bose's restaurant)
BELINDA- Why did you keep me waiting?
JEFFREY- (adjust the chair and sit) say what you want to say or I walk out.
BELINDA- Waiter.
WAITER-(approach them) Madam
BELINDA- Give my fiance whatever he want and...
JEFFREY- (cut in) And then drug me. It won't work for you this time.
BELINDA- (blush) Excuse us, Mr man. (The waiter leaves) I'm sorry for what happen that day. Believe me Jeff, I did not drugged you. Why should I do a thing like that to you. The wine you took that day was alcoholic.
JEFFREY- Are you through? (Belinda nodded) Tell me what a desperate woman cannot do?
BELINDA- I beg your pardon.
JEFFREY- You are very good at confabulating story. Why didn't you read mass communication, so you can lie to your readers instead of studying medicine and surgery. You are such a waste.
BELINDA- What type of monster are you? Don't you have any dignity left in you?
JEFFREY- Am a monster who hate you to the core. And you asking me about dignity left in me. What right do you have to ask me such silly question? What dignity is there in seducing a gentleman who has been celibating for more than five years. (Belinda gasped) you are such a cheap girl. After flirting to your satisfaction, now you are looking for a husband. Am not cheap. Am for Katerina and only Katerina will I give my heart to and not someone who had tour the whole U.S.A.
(Belinda slap him)
CURTAIN FALL

(At Dbest general)
KATERINA- Why did you do that?
BABRA- I did it for the kingdom. Too many chieves were secretly aspiring for your father's throne. Without the heir apparent to the throne, there could have been chaos. I hid your brother and then planted a survilliance camera. After they might have kidnapped you. I followed them until I reached their meeting point. That was when I saw Emerald, the master mind behind the crime. She told Nora to kill you and left. You were so beautiful and innocent. She couldn't bring herself to kill you. She dropped you at Blessed Trinity Orphanage gate. I picked you up and raised you.
KATERINA- (weep into Babra's arm) Oh mother. Thank you for giving me a second chance in life. I can't imagine life in the orphanage.
BABRA- I was supposed to return you to your parent when all the problems were over but due to the fact that my late husband could not put me in the family way, I had to keep you. I hope you understand and forgive us. You were like a prayer answer to us.
KATERINA-Mother, you did the right thing. Who knows, I couldn't have become the woman I am today if I had grown up with my family. Considering how arrogant royalties are. You discipline me. You raise me up with the fear of the lord and am very grateful.
BABRA- (hug Katerina) Thank you for your understanding. Go to my room. Under my bed, you will see a box. It content the video of everything that happened that fateful day. The address of your parent and that of Emerald is in the box.
KATERINA- Mother, what happen to Nora? Is she still serving my parent?
BABRA- God revenge for you. She died after giving birth to her first child, Alberta.
KATERINA- poor girl. Where is she now?
BABRA- Your father adopted her. No one knows who her father is.

JEFFREY- (let go of her hand) That is for underestimating me. Now drop the bomb. Am getting out of here.
BELINDA- (angry) Fine, if that is how you want it. Am pregnant Jeff. Am carrying your child.
(Jeffrey slap her. Costumers turn and watch the scene in amusement)
JEFFREY- I knew it. I knew this was your plan, to ruin my relationship. I will never, ever have anything to do with a prostitute like you. (he walk out)

ACT 3- SCENE 1
(At Emerald home. Denis barge into the sitting room and startle Emerald who had slept off while waiting for him last night)
EMERALD- (rub her blurry eyes with the back of her hand) Oh Denis! You are back.
DENIS- (growl) let me have my breakfast
EMERALD- Oh! Give me few minutes. The table will be set.
DENIS- What! Have you lost your senses? (Emerald tremble) Of what use are you to me? You cannot give me an offspring yet you cannot prepare my breakfast. You are so useless. Barren woman.(he hiss. As he walk toward Emerald, she slap him)
EMERALD- (sob) How dare you say that to me? Am not barren. Am I? Are you not the one who asked me to do family planning because you weren't ready to have a child yet. And how many babies have I aborted because of you. Just to prove that I love you. And now you want to me to bear the burden alone by neglecting me. You are such an ingrate.
(hold his cheek) you slap me, Emerald. You are leaving this house right now.
EMERALD- You rather leave because I own this house.
DENIS- So be it. Am leaving this God forsaking house for you. Am sick and tired of your presence. (he try to leave but Emerald grab his shirt)
EMERALD- (sob) you cannot leave me like this. You did this to me. How do you expect me to survive alone? You are my only family.
DENIS- (growl) I don't care.
EMERALD- How are you going to do without me?
DENIS- What do you mean?
EMERALD- Have frozen your account and rewrite my will. Everything I have now will belong to the orphanage except have seen the son of my Youth.
DENIS- (gasp) What!
EMERALD- Yes Denis, I know you are planning to steal from me.
