Episode one
*
Walking into my office in the early hours of
Monday 5th January 2015 was this young man.
Dark, tall, strongly built and handsome. But one
quick look at him, I noticed he was very troubled.
He looked very shaken and nervous.
I smiled politely, offering him a chair.
*
‘’good morning sir’’ I greeted, wondering what
was troubling such a strong dude this early in the
day.
*
‘’I guess you are diva?. The lady I always read
his stories online?’’ he asked, forcing out a smile.
I nodded, smiling back.
*
‘’yes sir, but you can call me valentine’’ I replied
quickly. He breathed deeply and shrugged.
*
‘’well I’m here to tell you a story. I’m here to pour
out my heart so that you can write it down and
share it out to the world . I want people to read
my story and probably learn from it. This is a
story of love, hopes and betrayal. This is a story
that most unmarried guys out there, especially in
Nigeria can relate to. It’s a story of my
relationship with a young lady called
CASSANDRA. A girl that sent me crashing down
with love’’ he said with such a strong spirit, his
eyes turning dark red as he cleared his throat to
start one of the passionate stories I have ever
heard.
*
———————————————
———————————————–
*
My name is David Odueke. A native of Imo state,
Nigeria. I’m thirty three years old and also the
first son in a family of three boys and a girl. Now
here is my story…
*
On 30th December 2013, my younger sister got
married to the love of her life. It was a very
happy and festive day for every member of my
family and it equally was the day I made up my
mind to do everything necessary to get married,
since God in his infinite mercy was blessing me
tremendously.
.
*
Being the first son in a very poor family, I left the
village at a very young age to serve one of my
uncles in Onitsha. I served him for five years
before I was settled with a well stocked shop. I
was twenty five years by then and just like I
promised my father, I quickly brought my
immediate younger brother to the city and
together we worked hard to provide for our last
two siblings. I made sure they got the education
that I was denied due to poverty and God being
merciful made my business to boom so much
that in five years I had three shops in Onitsha
plus two new shops in Owerri. I was dealing in
house rugs, carpet and electronics. A very
profitable business that swelled my bank
accounts the way I never imagined. And with
that kind of money under my control, I began
dreaming big. I planned erecting a big house in
my village and equally planned marrying a
beautiful well educated girl, preferably a doctor,
nurse or a banker.
*
In order to fulfill my aim, I relocated to Owerri in
September 2013 from where I controlled my
business empire. I relocated to Owerri because I
felt, getting an educated girl would be much
easier in such town than in a commercial city
like Onitsha. My hopes were totally up but
unfortunately December soon arrived without me
winning any girl. But it never brought down my
spirit because I felt good things do take time to
come.
*
Christmas arrived and I traveled to the village to
celebrate with my family, especially with my
sister who was getting married that Christmas.
*
As the marriage ceremony went on that fateful
day, I slowly screened the crowd, searching for a
lady that would gain my attention. In no time, I
spotted this fair beautiful damsel. Very tall,
graceful and super hot. She looked like a sea
goddess , her smiles very electrifying and
stunning. I gazed in wonder at the marvelous
beauty before me.
*
‘’dear lord. I hope, she’s the one. I pray she
accepts me.’’ I prayed as I quickly made my way
to where she stood chatting with her friend.
*
‘’excuse me, please can I have a word with you?’’
I asked politely. She threw a quick look at her
friend who nodded in approval. She smiled and
drew closer to me while her friend took some
steps back.
*
‘’my name is David, Amara’s elder brother. The
girl getting married is my sister’’ I nervously
introduced myself. She smiled once again,
throwing the killing smile that attracted me to
her.
*
‘’I know already. Your sister and I are in the
same school’’ she replied, encouraging me with
her sweet reply.
*
‘’really!, so what’s your name and what course
are you studying in the university?’’ I asked
breathlessly.
*
‘’my name is CASSANDRA. I’m a medical
student’’ she quickly answered. My heart
instantly overflowed with great joy like someone
who just won a jackpot.
*
‘’she’s definitely the one. She’s the wife God
destined for me’’ I reasoned with great joy.
*
I was the happiest man on earth that very
moment.

Episode 2
*
‘’I spotted you from afar and your beauty
instantly attracted me’’ I said softly, drawing out
another smile from Cassandra. Oh you should
have seen how my entire body shook with joy
and satisfaction as I chatted with the beautiful
damsel. In my mind she was already mine. All
that was left was to propose and get married to
her as quickly as possible. I felt like running
home to my parents, screaming that i have found
a wife. Yea that was exactly how I felt. I felt like
a virgin boy who just got his first girlfriend and to
be sincere she was the first classy girl or should
I say sophisticated girl I was chatting up in such
fashion. My head just swelled with lots of plans.
*
‘’I really will love to have your phone number so
that we could chat up later’’ I finally demanded
with great hopes. She instantly obliged, giving
me her phone number which I saved in my
phone, complimented her looks one more time
before walking away with great happiness.
*
‘’thank you God’’ I breathed happily.
*
——————————————————————
*
Very early the next day, after a very restless
night filled with dreams, I called Cassandra on
phone for the first time. My heart pounded
furiously as I waited for her to pick up.
*
‘’hey good morning, it’s David, Amara’s brother’’ I
quickly greeted and soon as she picked up the
call.
*
‘’hey good morning, what’s up’’ she replied lively,
encouraging me with her reply.
*
‘’hope you got home on time yesterday?’’ I asked,
*
‘’yep’’ she answered,
*
‘’hope your people are cool?’’ I asked,
*
‘’yep’’ she answered,
*
‘’so how are you going to spend the day?’’ I
asked,
*
‘’hmmmm, nothing much’’ she muttered with
slight hesitation.
*
‘’how about we meet today?’’ I asked. She kept
quiet for a while.
*
‘’come on say something please?’’ I urged,
*
‘’is it really necessary?’’ she asked,
*
‘’yes oooo. I really will do anything to be with you
today’’ I chipped in. she laughed out.
*
‘’so where do you want us to meet?’’ she asked,
*
‘’hmmm, I actually don’t know the place that will
be convenient for you since you are in the
village’’ I stammered.
*
‘’Owerri will be great. Just pick anywhere in
Owerri’’ she added, leaving a great smile on my
face.
*
‘’okay that’s cool. Let’s meet in Crunches by
3pm’’ I said quickly.
*
‘’Crunches?. As in the fast food opposite Mbari
kitchen?’’ she asked innocently,
*
‘’exactly’’ I answered with great spirit.
*
———————————————
——————————————
*
By 3pm the fateful day, I was already in
Crunches restaurant, very nervous and excited. I
really was all out to impress the beautiful girl
who was such a big catch to me.
Believe it or not, I even did a short English
practice at home in order to impress her with my
good command of the language. My dressing
that evening was equally superb. An expensive
stripped shirt, plain matching trouser and black
shoes.
*
My heart throbbed loudly as I nervously waited
for Cassandra who showed up by 3:30pm ,
apologizing politely.
*
‘’I’m so sorry for being late. The bus i boarded,
broke down on the way and the driver refused
refunding us’’ she explained but I never cared for
the explanation. Her presence was all I needed.
*
In no time I ordered for food and drinks which we
devoured gracefully. I used the opportunity to
study her more appropriately and i was
convinced with no doubt that she had the grace,
manners and air of a sophisticated lady. The
type of woman I wanted as a wife.
*
‘’so tell me about yourself?. You speak as if you
studied in England’’ she suddenly demanded,
leaving me a bit uncomfortable with the
question.
*
‘’actually I’m self employed’’ I answered slowly,
drawing out a sharp inquisitive gaze from her.
*
‘’really!, so what exactly do you do?’’ she asked
curiously.
*
‘’I’m a business man. I sell electronics, rugs and
house stuffs. I have shops in Onitsha and Owerri’’
I answered truthfully but I couldn’t help but
notice her lively eyes drop even though she
quickly forced out a smile to hide her true
feelings.
*
I paid no heed to her initial reaction. I simply
was blinded with love and such a costly mistake
it was.
*
Each time I remember that moment , the way
she reacted when I told her my occupation, I feel
like crying because I had every opportunity to
walk away but I didn’t because I was so much in
love.
*

Episode 3
*
‘’so what actually do you want from me?’’
Cassandra suddenly asked, leaving her beautiful
eyes on me. I tried to relax as I met her gaze,
breathing heavily as I quickly formed an answer
in my mind.
*
‘’I know you probably must be hearing what I’m
about telling you everyday but I beg of you to
believe me. I’m not a kid and I’m equally not
getting younger. I’m at the ripe age to settle
down and I’m here with you today because you
have all the qualities I need in a wife. I really
would so much appreciate if you will consider
me much more than a friend. Let’s make things
happen together. Let’s fix our future together’’ I
answered solemnly, my heart pounding furiously
as I watched her reaction. She simply smiled
and shrugged.
*
‘’invariably, you want me as a wife and not as a
girlfriend?’’ she asked slowly. I nodded quickly.
*
‘’well just like you said, this isn’t the first, second
nor third time I’m hearing such words. I’m equally
not a kid nor a naive young girl who would shiver
on hearing the word marriage. To win someone
like me, you will have to work hard for it. You will
first work your way into my heart . first as a
friend, then as a lover before I can even consider
you. ‘’ she simply replied, leaving me a bit
excited and confused at the same time.
*
‘’but we are already friends right?’’ I asked with a
smile. She rolled her eyes.
*
‘’well for now, we are mere acquaintances. You
haven’t proved yourself as a friend yet’’ she
answered, leaving me extremely surprised. My
face fell.
*
‘’come on, don’t be like that. You should know
I’m not an easy person. I don’t mess around. So
you have all the time to prove yourself to me.
You are aiming towards marriage and it requires
dedication and commitment’’ she preached while
I shrugged with resignation.
*
‘’so when are we seeing again?’’ I asked.
*
‘’I really don’t know. I’m going back to school on
the third of January’’ she answered.
*
‘’alright. I believe we will be seeing often’’ I
murmured.
*
‘’ I hope so’ she breathed.
*
—————————————————————–
*
I drove her home afterwards, before rushing
home to meet my dad anxiously waiting for me.
*
‘’where went you?’’ dad asked,
*
‘’I went to see a friend’’ I answered with a smile.
*
‘’I hope you didn’t go drinking with friends?’’ he
asked suspiciously. I laughed.
*
‘’come on dad, will I be back this early supposing
I went out drinking with friends. Actually I was
with a woman. A lady I plan to marry’’ I
answered innocently, leaving a great smile on the
old man’s face.
*
‘’now you are talking son. You know I have been
worried that at your age you are yet to bring a
woman home. But why hang out with her
outside?. Why didn’t you bring her home?’’ he
queried with a frown.
*
‘’don’t worry dad. I will soon bring her home. I
promise”. I assured the old man .
*
——————————————————-
*
New year (2013) arrived with me getting more
fond of Cassandra. We spoke on phone almost
four times every day . I couldn’t stay an hour
without thinking about her. She equally
responded and behaved very well to me. Her
responses and everything she did was kind of a
green light to me. I fell madly in love with her. I
never hesitated in telling my friends and
neighbors about my Cassandra even though the
pretty girl was yet to officially say yes to me but
I believed her positive/ encouraging actions
towards me were more than the yes I needed.
I was so ready to do anything for her. I was so
madly in love. Everything was green in my eyes.
*
On the second Thursday of January 2013, she
surprised me with a phone call.
*
‘’hi Dave , what’s up?’’ she greeted.
*
‘’I’m fine very dear’’ I answered with happiness.
*
‘’I will be very free this weekend and I want to
spend it with you. Hope you will be free to pick
me up on Friday evening ?’’ she asked, surprising
me with the unexpected offer. I couldn’t find my
voice for some seconds. I could believe my ears.
I couldn’t believe it was all real.
*
‘’gosh a hot girl like Cassandra offering to spend
a full weekend with me, without me even
asking?’’ I reasoned with great joy.
*
‘’there isn’t any doubt she’s mine. Of course
what is yours is yours’’ I summarized as I l### # d
my lips in anticipation of the great weekend that
awaited me.
*
Just like she promised, by 7pm that fateful
Friday, the pretty girl was well settled in my
apartment, making me the most happiest
bachelor on earth. My mind was so full of
expectations.
*
OH CASSANDRA…. So beautiful, so charming,
well mannered but full of pretense..

Episode 4
*
I took Cassandra out for a wonderful dinner in
one of the new expensive restaurants in town
before we returned to my apartment for a good
night rest.
*
My hormones raged on fire as we settled on my
bed that fateful evening. My heart throbbed
loudly as a thousand and one thoughts raced
through my head. In fact the way I felt was
simply indescribable. Cassandra’s actions were
just totally encouraging.
‘’perhaps I might even get the chance to blow
her tonight’’ I reasoned as I laid beside her,
staring into her beautiful eyes.
*
Even though I had three extra rooms in my
apartment, I made Cassandra to sleep in my
room, though with the expectation that she might
decline but surprisingly she made no argument
nor refused sleeping in my room. She accepted
with good faith which made me love her the
more because her behavior made me to see her
as a very matured and respectful lady.
*
‘’why are you staring at me like that?’’ she softly
asked as we exchanged glances. I breathed
deeply and closed my eyes for some seconds.
*
‘’I’m so happy. I really cant believe you are here
with me’’ I confessed. She blushed and shifted
uneasily.
*
‘’come on stop it. Moreover I know you have lots
of girlfriends’’ she breathed.
*
‘’well since I got to this town I haven’t even seen
a lady of my choice, talk more of having her as a
girlfriend. Though my line of business hardly
gives me the opportunity to mingle with ladies.
So you are the only lady in my life right now and
I want you to occupy that position for eternity’’ I
answered. She kept quiet, saying nothing.
*
‘’don’t you like me?’’ I suddenly asked for no
reason, drawing close to caress her face. My
hand trembled as I touched her affectionately.
*
‘’’of course I like you. If not, I wouldn’t be here’’
she answered, melting my heart with her words. I
drew closer, finding her lips and kissing her. She
instantly drew back and sat up.
*
‘’please that should stop. It’s too early for you to
be kissing me. You have to respect me’’ she said
seriously, coloring up and leaving me drawn back
with surprise and regret.
*
‘’I’m sorry dear’’ I stammered, swallowing my
emotions and feelings. Of course the way she
reacted when I kissed her suspended the sexual
plans I had for the night but nevertheless I knew
she had every right to behave the way she did
and my respect for her still remained the same.
*
We slept without making love.
*
—————————————————————————–
*
Cassandra wasn’t only good looking and
sophisticated, she equally was very good with
house chores. The pretty damsel used the later
part of the next day which was Saturday to
prepare a delicious pot of stew and soup for me.
A very tasty meal it was and the aroma was just
enough to attract even enemies to my home.
In my mind, every thing about her was perfect. I
resolved to make her my wife as soon as
possible. I was ready to go through any hurdle
just to wed her.
*
As we settled in my room, that Saturday night. I
stared at her with the urge to make love to her
but I was very scared of upsetting her. I just
didn’t know what to do.
*
‘’there is something that has been bothering me
and I feel like sharing it with you but my fear is
that it isn’t the right time to disturb you with my
problems’’ I heard her say with a soft whisper. I
instantly drew closer to her.
*
‘’what’s the problem my dear?’’ I asked with great
concern.
*
‘’no don’t worry, let’s forget it’’ she breathed. I
held her hands, staring into her eyes.
*
‘’you can trust me with your problems. I can help
in any way possible’’ I urged. She breathed
deeply, hesitating slightly.
*
‘’it’s about my hostel rent’’ she stammered.
*
‘’so what happened ?’’ I asked.
*
‘’things are very hard for my family right now.
Mum hasn’t been paid her salary since last year
October and my dad is really struggling with the
bills and every other thing. My two brothers are
in a private university and their school fees just
drained the little money my dad had left. I’m now
left with no choice than to pack out of my
current lodge and squat with a friend which I’m
not used to. I have been staying in a self
contained room right from my first year in the
university.’’’ She explained, tears dropping from
her eyes as she opened her mind to me. I was
touched.
*
She sounded so real, so genuine , so emotional.
Plus the tears. No I couldn’t bear watching her
cry.
*
‘’so how much is the rent?’’ I asked softly.
*
‘’ ninety thousand naira N90,000 (aprox $450)’’
she answered.
*
‘’hmmm it’s a lot of money but don’t worry. I will
give you the money as you leave for your school
on Sunday’’ I promised, drawing out a great smile
from her. She quickly wiped her tears.
*
‘’oh my God.. thank you dearest”” she beamed
with great joy, throwing herself on my body and
hugging me strongly.
*
However that was all I got from her that fateful
night. I never dared going for s#x, out of fear
that she might interpret it wrongly and very early
on Sunday morning , I made a quick withdrawal
at an ATM machine nearby …..
*
Cassandra left with N95,000 on her first visit to
my house. N90,000 for the hostel rent and
additional N5000 for her upkeep. A huge amount
enough to take my building project in the village
to the next level. But I did it all for love.. I felt
investing in her was much profitable than my
building project at home…
