“No! No!! This can’t happen to me again, please Richmond don’t do this to me “so Tonia tried to call Richmond, but his number wasn’t connecting, she tried his number again, but this time they said the number was not available, which means probably Richmond have blocked her from calling him, not too long her mother walked up to her
“My daughter what is going on with Richmon…….. “Her mother haven’t finished her statement before Tonia handed her the phone to read the text Richmond sent, when her mother finished reading it, she opened her mouth agape
“Ahhh….. Not again, No this can’t be happening again, But have you called him to confirm from him to know if he’s actually the one that sent the text to you? Her mother asked trying to be sure
“I have called his number, but it seems he have blocked me from calling him “A heartbroken Tonia said in a devastated tone
“Ehhh…. This is serious problem, Am finished, my enemies have succeeded again, what are we going to tell the guests, invites, and pastor, how are we going to explain to them, Ah God! Who have we offended “Tonia’s mother said putting her two hands on her head

“Sister tonia! Where is your groom? Pastor Austin angrily asked but Tonia just stood there heartbroken without saying anything
