” Why the hell did you jump into the water with a guy? Were you planning to die?” Alora scolded
” I didn’t, the fool got cheated on and wanted to die, I was just gonna help him fasten his dead but I had no idea we’ll end up in the water together”
” Why would you even think of doing something like that? You want to give him a faster dead? Did he beg you for it? You’re so unbelievable”
” Wow.. see the brother I thought was worried sick about me ” Godiva scoffed loudly
” Why would I worry about you.. I rather poke my eyes with needless?” Vespertine rolled his eyes, standing on his feet
” I need to rest, you can die for all I care ” he hissed, walking to his room with a broad smile displaying on his face
” Did you hear that Lora? He just told me to die ”
” Let him be Diva, he’s just being childish ” Alora chuckled as she watch Godiva glare at Vespertine as he left

Raphael slumped on the couch tiredly as soon as he got home
He sigh sadly when his mind drifted to Cerlia. What surprise him was he really didn’t feel heartbroken about the event while in the woods. He needed to feel heartbroken cos he loved Cerlia alot but reverse was the case
” Why would I when I was literally walking with a witch in the woods…” He muttered standing. He entered his room and got into the bathroom
He left the room minutes later all dressed, before proceeding to the kitchen when Cerlia walked in
” Raphael ” she called lowly while he just stared at her
” I’m sorry Raphael, I really didn’t mean to cheat on you. It’s just… I wasn’t just happy I couldn’t get what I want the very moment I wanted them, I had no choice.. ” she said tears dropping down her cheeks
” Cerlia, can you please leave… It’s not the right time to talk. When it’s time, I will call you over..” Raphael replied and made to proceed to the kitchen but she hugged him from behind
He blinked continuously before removing her hands around his waist
” Leave Cerlia ” he said calmly, fighting back his tears
” I’m sorry..”
” Sorry? you’re sorry Cerlia?” He almost yelled but suddenly took in deep breaths, trying to calm his nerves
” Right fine, so for how long have you been dating this guy?” He asked but she kept mute, picking on her fingers
” You became dumb right? After everything I did for you Cerlia, how could you? I know I haven’t been the best lover but I made sure I gave you everything single thing you’ve always wanted even when I didn’t have enough ” He shouted but she just bent her head, unable to look him in the face
” How old was the pregnancy? ” He asked again
” T.. Two months..” she replied in tears
” Two months.. he laughed
” Two months and we had sèx just two weeks ago!!! You cheated on me Cerlia, you f*cking cheated on me, you took my love for granted and made a fóol outta me!! ”
” Please Raphael, I’m sorry, give me another chance. It’s never gonna happen again, I swear”
” I know it’s not gonna happen again and that’s why I don’t want you in my life anymore. I don’t want to see you around the house. I know it’s small compared to yours so it won’t be able to accommodate two people any longer ” he said and with that he walked into the kitchen shutting the door
Cerlia stood on the spot, crying her eyes out..
how was she gonna get him to forgive her? She couldn’t ask Arnold for help cos she knew he didn’t like her anymore. She was confused and sad at the same time
Her once loving boyfriend who only had eyes for her now detest her so much..
Tears left her eyes as she walked out of the house.
Raphael sat on the floor in his kitchen as he cried his eyes out..
The tears he’s been trying to hold and the pain he thought he wouldn’t feel came afresh and they were unbearable
Why would she do that to him? All he did was love her genuinely, then why? He cried

∆SAME DAY, 7PM~ GODIVA’S MANSION
Godiva’s phone blared up and she ruffled her hair, frustrated
It was her mom again
? What do you want again Mrs Moreno? This is the twentieth time you’ve call me in an hour!!! I’m not with your kidney so what else do you want from me? Like I said, I’m fine, sound and healthy so Can you stop calling? I might just switch off my phone if you keep calling ” She said, all in one breath
? I’m just worried Godiva… Larina said from her end
? I know and I’ve told I’m fine countless times!! You know what? Give the phone to dad” she said and her mom did as said
? Mr Alston, tell your wife not to call me anymore today and tell her I’m grateful she cares.. her daughter Godiva is very fine..” She said and ended the call
” Gosh, she’s not gonna be the end of me ” she muttered lying on her bed and her mind drifted to what happened in the woods
” Perfume.. ” she muttered and got down from the bed
” I should still have one at home..” she added, opening her wardrobe
After searching through her wardrobe for minutes, she finally found her previous perfume
” I was fine without the syringe back in the woods, I should be able to wake back to normal without my syringe..” she told herself and with that, she opened the lid of the perfume
She knew she was taking a big risk which could cost her life but she needed to confirm why she was fine without her syringe
” Oh, now I’m scared ” She took in deep breaths before spraying the perfume around her room
She staggered slightly as the scent penetrated her nose greatly. Her eyes turning red which was making her body swollen and Itchy at the same time
She kept groaning in pain as she stared at the syringe on the cupboard but she was determined to endure it
The pain kept doubling but She didn’t bother to get the syringe untill she went unconscious
” Godiva ” Vespertine called, entering her room
” Perfume in her room?” He wondered his heart skipping fearful beats until he sighted her unconscious swollen body on the floor
” GODIVA !! ” He called fearfully, getting her syringe from the cupboard and injecting her at once
He exhaled deeply as he watched her body turned to normal
” What were you thinking?” He asked taking a cloth from her wardrobe to cover her
He carried her out of the room and Lydia and Alora rushed to him
Apart from their parents, Lydia and Alora were the only people who knew of her ailment
” What’s wrong? Why’s she unconscious” Lydia asked and Alora nodded agreeing with her
” She used Perfume ” Vespertine replied, walking out of the house
” Is she nuts? Why would she think of killing herself?” Alora asked, already angry
” She’s crazy, I’ll never get use to her madness ” She shook her head as they left the mansion to the hospital
★
” How’s she ma’am Mary?” Alora asked and she smiled
” If you had brought her here a minute late, then it would have been another story totally ” Doctor Mary replied
She has been the one taking care of Godiva since her ailment
” But I gave her the dose ” Vespertine spoke up
” Yeah but it was kinda late already. We just have to be thankful she’s fine..” Doctor Mary smiled
Godiva snapped her eyes open Only to find her hand connected to an IV drip
” What am I doing here?” She questioned, getting pissed
” You should be grateful they brought you. You would have been death if they had delayed” Doctor Mary said but she ( Godiva ) stared at her confused
‘ I’m sure I was fine back there in that abandoned house then why would I die now?’ She wondered before turning to Vespertine and Alora
” I want to talk with Mary..” she told them and they nodded, leaving the ward.
Doctor Mary sat next to Godiva on the bed. ” Why did you do that diva?” She asked
” I.. she trailed off
” Maybe it was all just a nightmare.. ” she sighed
” I don’t understand.. ” Doctor Mary creased a brow and Godiva had to explain things to her
” Really?” Mary asked shocked while she nodded
” That’s what I was trying to verify but I landed here instead” She muttered
” I think the young guy can help you over come this.. I’m not saying he can but I’m hoping he could ”
” You think so?”
” Maybe ” Mary shrugged
” Why don’t you employ him to work at your home like a personal guard or something..” She suggested and Godiva rolled her eyes
” Nah, I’ll pass. I might just end up killîng the motherFüçker cos he’s disrespectful and rude as f*ck” she replied
” Aren’t you after getting fine? You’re so rude too. It makes more sense if he works at your place”
” I hope you think about it. I’ll never lie to you, you know that” Mary said
” Please don’t tell Larina and her husband I was here..” Godiva said removing the syringe attached to her body
” I will be on my way now..” she said, heading for the door
” I don’t remember discharging you” Mary said
” You don’t have to, I just discharged myself, bye” she replied walking out of the ward
” She’s something else. I wonder when she’s gonna go back to the cool girl I knew five years ago..” Mary smiled
” I should employ him.. Even though he’s rude, he’ll only learn to respect me.. ” she smirked
