Things We Do For Love.

Image
I and James have been married for over 10 years now, and he has been my perfect man in an imperfect world, James was the only man who saw my flaws and was ready to stand by me, but then this deception happened a few hours ago and I started to think things over, "Why did you lie to me?" I asked James while I stood at the door wondering if I should walk out of the door or hear him out, I couldn't stand the thought that our marriage had been built on lies in these years. "Annie, I truly am sorry, please can we talk it out?" James said wearing a remorseful look. "Okay, shoot!" I snapped back. "Annie, while we were in high school, I have always loved you and I notice how you visited the coffee shop beside the school campus, I knew if I could pretend to like coffee we could have a common ground to start up a conversation, so I decided to pay a friend Dan to teach how to make cappuccino and each time I see you come around I ensured I was the one who made...

A Letter By The DoorWay.

Image
All I wanted was for her to reciprocate my love, but she kept hiding in her shell, seven days ago, I found a letter by my  doorway . My name is Daniel and I fell in love with a damsel named Tammy, I and Tammy met on the beachside Eight months ago. I approached her that day because she looked lost in thought, I passed severally to get her attention but she was absent-minded, so I wore a beautiful smile, tapped her, and managed to say a few words to get her attention."Hello, I am Daniel, are you fine? you seem to be lost in thoughts." The only response I got was "Hey, Tammy is my name and I am just fine." That response proved my intuition was right as I felt Tammy's soul was tired, too tired of fighting, tired of trying, and tired of the chaos, she wore a worrisome look and I noticed goosebumps all over her skin, maybe she was cold, maybe someone said something hurtful to her, maybe she lost someone in death or maybe she just came to enjoy her own company, I kept ...

The Commitment.

Image
My name is Benita and this is my story. While growing up, I grew up in a divided home and watched how hard it was for my mom to carter for me and my siblings. I vowed never to get married, because I fear experiencing a similar situation, I turned down so many guys because I was too scared to be hitched, but then I realized that one's grace isn't another's grace. Because it ended badly for my dad and mom doesn't mean it would end badly for me. I decided to have a positive view and mindset after encountering a very happy couple named the "Johnsons". It is not like they never fought they learned how to manage it. Mrs. Johnson taught me the ingredients that could make up a lasting home, commitment, communication, forbearance, tolerance, compromise, taking responsibility for one's actions, gratitude for the little your partner does, and respecting boundaries are the major ingredients of a lasting marriage. " Benita, love is not enough." She said. Late...

Haunted.

It was the honeymoon of Chloe and Dan, and they both agreed to spend their honeymoon at the beach house which is very far from home. After the wedding, Chloe excitedly packed her bag and that of her husband, facing him, she secured her hands on his shoulder, "Hey babe, I can't wait to spend this honeymoon at the Blue-Skye beach, it's gon be so much fun with just you and I", "Yeah, yeah it sure would be the best time of our lives.", he replied, planting a kiss on her forehead. They held hands together and walked right into the car, they drove off shaking their heads to the music from the stereo. It took about 5 hours to get to the "Blue-Skye beach", at about 9:45 pm, the beach was serene and just two buildings which were at two opposite ends were sighted. " Which are we going for, the one on the left or the one on the right?, wearing a wide smile, Chloe excitedly asked, "You choose babe, and is just fine", Dan replied. " Okay the...

A wedding that never happened.

Image
Louisa was a very close friend of Lisa, they shared practically everything. They shared love life stories, and their belongings and they were more like sisters rather than friends. It turned out that, Louisa had finally met the love of her life Jimmy, Jimmy was more like a prayer answered, he was everything Louisa had craved in a man. Jimmy on the other hand showered Louisa with so much love that she never had a moment to doubt all the love and times they'd spent together. One evening, Jimmy had asked to see Lisa,(Louisa's friend) at a resort, the reason was not far-fetched as they began their conversation. "So Lisa, how does Louisa prefer a proposal, private or public?" Jimmy excitedly asked Lisa, knowing she was in the best position to answer since he wanted it to be a surprise. "Private!, she doesn't like too much attention, so make it private, somewhere cozy just both of you," Lisa replied. Three days later. Jimmy had decorated his room with so many ...

Karma is a bitch!

Image
The last time I told you how I craved peace because Jack did me dirty. Source I went to my happy place, the beach to be precise, for the breath of fresh air and to be at peace with myself and the world again. I lay on my back in the water like I was dead, I looked heavenward asking for a wish, my heart is pure so l have no intention to revenge but the law of karma will find him. A few weeks later, I heard how life had turned for Jack, the woman he left me for left him too, isn't karma a bitch? I heard his life has become miserable, he lost a fortune to scammers and now he wants me back. I've made peace with myself and I've moved on. Life is too short to waste it on Jack, I have found my balance once again! Whatever you do, always remember the law of karma, and never do people dirty, it will surely find its way back to you. Read part one  here Thank you for stopping by, till we meet again, this is Amie Geoffrey.

Tatiana's ordeal with Jack

Image
My home was not a haven as many people experienced, ever since I got married to Jack, it's been a hell of a ride, and then I wonder, how will someone who claims to love you intentionally do you wrong? I deserve better, I deserve peace of mind, to think I left Russell for Jack during my prime is what hurts me the most. Jack seems to be very caring and considerate, and Russell too was quite caring but I felt Jack would make a good husband, how I wish I knew he was manipulative just to get what he wants. Jack got what he wanted which was me and then he changed after a year of marriage, just one year, what seems to be a blissful ordeal became my worst nightmare. Jack was violent and insensitive to how I felt, he would abuse me emotionally and physically. I found out the reason he got married to me was because of my wealth, he wanted to have a share, and he cajoled me into changing my property name into his name, I was madly in love and I thought he loved me. A breath of fresh air was w...

Gerald immediately told her his concerns, "Do you know I am a bit nervous about the whole thing, I hope things turn out well, can you please Invite the event planner tomorrow morning?"

Is love enough to sustain a relationship?

This is the link to part 1, in case you missed the story. Click here for Part 1 There are two sides to a story. My name is Jeremy and this is my story. I met Cheryl sometime in November, she was a very vibrant and fun person to be with, I was an introvert while she was more of an ambivert. During our journey, I learned how to communicate a lot, one thing I admired about her was how she would "say it, just how she felt it". Cheryl came into my life when I had been a bachelor for a very long time, I had to unlearn being alone, you see, I was never a fan of love, I had so many short-term relationships, and though a part of me wanted to experience real love while the other part of me was not ready for all of that. We started as very good friends, Cheryl was a very loving lady, she would always check up on me and I loved that a lot. She was the First Lady I have ever had long conversations with, I started to like the fact that I could come out of my shell and I started getting use...

Was it love after all?

Image
The image got from  unsplash All she wanted was clarity and answers to her questions. Why did he have to break her heart after giving him all of her? He was like the largest part of her life, we could say, "her life revolved around him". Cheryl couldn't understand why the man who claims to love her did her wrong. Why does he have to switch up on her and act like it wasn't love after all? She cried, and hope for things to get better. But now, it's obvious he has moved on and she is still stuck thinking if she should still hold on or move on. The image got from  google You see, Jeremy was all she had prayed for, he was a man with a happy vibe, he was romantic and he was cute! Oh, every lady's dream. Jeremy couldn't stay a day without talking to Cheryl and she loved the attention her man was giving her, she turned down so many guys on his behalf, and everything was cool until one fateful morning. Jeremy wouldn't take her calls, he didn't e...
