”My madam,are you alright”…Seyi my Driver asked.

I was sitting at the back of my car crying and I couldn’t help myself. I was trying not to but here I was crying uncontrollably. Again,I had just had my heart broken after I had invested everything I had into my relationship with Ayo.

This is the story of my life. I am 39 years old. A very successful top manager in one of Nigeria’s top FMCG companies. I was unhappy,frustrated,single and heartbroken!

I have been in several relationships over the years but it always turns out to be heartbreaking for me. It appears that men do not want to be in relationship. They just want to have their way with you along side other ladies. I have had my share of pain from these men.

Even after I took the advice of my friends to come to the level of some of these men. Some believe that being a successful career woman makes it difficult for me to find a responsible man to marry me. Hence,I was advised to come down to the level of the men.

I met Ayo a year ago at a party. We got talking and I found out that he was a Marketer with an insurance company. He didnt earn much but he was a nice person. We started dating not too long. I was cautious knowing that Ayo was just coming up. So I didnt want to rush him. But two months into our relationship,he asked me to marry him. I thought he was joking but he planned a surprise engagement party for me with mt friends and family. Some thought he was a gold digger after my money. I didnt care,I was happy to spend on him after all,I was in love and he asked me to marry him.

Ayo moved out of his one room apartment in Surulere and moved in with me in my duplex in VGC. I was really in love and we were living like a couple. For his birthday,I bought Ayo a car as I wanted him to have his own instead of driving mine and stop him from feeling ashamed sometimes.

Our wedding plans started in earnest. We were preparing for our introduction. My family was overjoyed for me . I was finally getting married! Asoebi plans were in place. I was meeting with event planners,talking to the wedding IV printers,etc.

I got back home that evening to discover that Ayo had moved his things out of the apartment. I was in shock. I though the house was burgled but apparently,only Ayo’s things were missing. I tried to call his line but I couldnt connect. That was when my gateman came in with a note that Ayo had left for me.

Basically,Ayo broke up with me with a note.I couldnt believe what was happening. I coulnt make sense of it. I cried all through the night. My friend Jena had to come to be with me. At some point,everyone thought I was going to commit suicide. I actually contemplated it. I was too ashamed to leave the house for days after the break up.

I thought about what could have made Ayo do such a thing and I couldnt come up with anything. Jena did some digging and found out that Ayo had gotten a transfer on his job which promoted him to Deputy Branch Manager in their Port Harcourt branch. It was also discovered that Ayos promotion was facilitated with his female boss whom he was sleeping with. Both of them were transferred to Port Harcourt it turns out.

The first day I left the house to go to work after all these drama,I was crying in my car when my driver noticed me. He stopped the car and came right back to comfort me. I was surprised but Seyi was very kind to me. He told me he had been watching me and he feels that I have been taken advantage of by men because of my kind heart. Seyi started preaching to me. I was impressed that he was born again as he claimed. He made me give my life to God. Seyi,my Driver whom I hardly noticed gradually...See more
