REGRETFUL VALENTINE - PART 1





I was told the bed in his son’s room cost nothing less than 4 million Naira. I wonder what his pairs of shoes will amount to let alone the clothing in his wardrobe.

Anyways, who won’t lavish such wealth on his one and only child, the very child they waited to have for 24 years after several failed attempts at different IVF centers. So he was ready to give his child anything. Who will dare reprimand him especially when there’s money “to waste”. Sorry, I mean “to use “

Bernard was spoiled to the core. One would have thought that one of his parents will be on the cautioning side but the case was peculiar in the sense that both parents contributed to the rottenness they now regretfully sulk in.

Who would have thought that a family once ranked as one of the wealthiest in the continent would suddenly have a descendant that is now a pauper. Not just a pauper but a wretched fellow with nothing to add to this life except newly invented problems.

Bernard had flaunted his family riches. He made a big mess of things. The meaningful part of his life was last seen was when he was in primary school. He barely scaled through high school. He battled with several repeats of classes. His university education was a total waste of time and resources. Had that opportunity been given to some hard working, diligent, less privileged students; there brilliance would have been encouraged greatly.

Ben hardly goes for lectures. He hands his assignments to be done for him since he can pay for it. He sometimes gets machinery to do his exams and other times he buys the integrity of some morally decadent lecturers.

Amidst his several misbehavior was threatening guys whose girlfriends were the object of his lust. Some guys, even willingly, sell their so call babes out when Ben’s offer was so good to be true, so tempting to be rejected especially in this economic recession.

No one knew the extent of his immoral escapade until he began to chase after Abigail. She was his next target.


To be continued ...

Part Two...



Apparently, Abigail and Ben were course mates and have been often grouped together for some assignments and practical classes, so he had had his insatiable covetous eyes on her. He had thought, “I’ll have my way soonest with this piece of meat. Her toughness will soon be melted”.
