Siting on the bench waiting for my big brother to come in his school compound and a guy came to approach me. He was looking awkward, rough, and unkempt, Can you be my girl and get married to me and we should live a happy life?
I thought within me that's who exactly is talking I insulted him and dismiss from his sight. I saw my brother, and I told him about the guy that came to me. "Ohh Stanley He is my friend and I think you should accept him, he has money" he said. I became annoyed because my bother want me to date this guy he call his friend.
I went to meet my best friend Cynthia, anytime I'm in state of confusion I run to my bestie because I think she is the best to fix it in. I told her about the guy that and ask her "does he worth me"?
"Stanley is a terrible person I know him well, I don't think he loves you he might just want to take an advantage of you. Don't mind your brother he want to lead you to the wrong direction" Cynthia said.
I now look confused, I don't know what to do anymore and everytime I see him he always say "I know I will marry you one day" and he will smile devilishly.
I sat recumbent on the couch, thinking about the horrible words my brother's friend told me.
"I can't stop loathing on you babes, you dare rejected my proposal? Hahaha ask ladies outside there no one dares to turn me down!"
Truly with the words I heard, any girl he approach he will always date them but they will all leave him. No one knows why 😑😑
I tried hard to fall asleep, no avail I became bemused, hurl of fear gripped me thought of Stanley's threat made my hair on the skin stood, what should I do? I'm confused, scared and afraid.
"Stanley is a very dangerous and terrible person, whatever he wants he can take it at all risk. Someone the cops are scared of, even when an incident happen they reported him he went to the police station and came back again and deal with those who reported him" I reasoned.
"I don't think there is anything you can do to it, just accept the proposal" said the tiny voice in my head. That's the best opinion I don't want to die now.
I went straight to big brother room in the evening, even though he was tired and also feeling dizzy. I told him have something to tell to him that he have to listen to what I have to tell him.
"What"? And you kept this away from me all this while....."Come here darling I'm happy for you". Thanks bro.
Indeed planning a wedding is a very hectic, stressful thing have ever experienced in my life but it worth it. Because hubby and I rocked that day, looking beautiful and handsome. Looking forward to honeymoon have always dreamt of. Getting married to Stanley is like the biggest of all achievements I have made this year, because staying in a big mansion driving cars, eating the food I want is really a nice thing. He changed to a responsible, caring and loving husband, yes this is actually my prayer every morning and night all.
I was very happy and I told my friends about it, but no one believed. I also informed his friends that know all about him, but they also didn't believe. I did not force anyone to believe but I know I'm enjoying my husband when I got married to him.

Tradegy struck, in our honeymoon hubby attitude to me all changed. I asked what's the matter he didn't talk or even give a respond. In the next morning when hubby said it's all a BET. Stanley said "I and my friends had a BET because they dare me that I can't date you or not even get married to you, so I thought of also accepting the BET".
My world came crumbling, what will my friends say? My poor brother how will he feel? I only got married to the piece of durk to liberate my brother from poverty and low key life but see what I get in return. Even my own life is ruined, I couldn't hold the tears in my eyes anymore.
"Stanley you are a bastard, I thought you loved me, I thought you actually wanted to marry me because you cherish me. So it's was all a bet" ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜. I cried. I regret falling in love with a wrong man, thinking I already found the one who will make me happy and comfortable forever I met with a beast. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
I don't know what to do any longer, because I was confused. "Should I go back home, or go back to my friends house"? "You will be mocked don't forget they ask you not to get married to Stanley from day one so if you go there you will be mocked" said my tiny voice in my head.
I was thinking he was actually going to change to being responsible and caring but I did not know his type can never change. I sobbed, mucus flowing through my nose to mouth, I was hurt, cheated and used.....I screamed his name "Stanley" with a solemnity look. You will regret this and I left his house.

Two weeks later, I saw Stanley in the television handcuffed. That's served him right that what I was saying until I heard he was given life imprisonment. They said they saw like three dead bodies in his building.
I know I said he was going to regret it but the this harsh and cruel way but this tiny voice in my head said "he deserve it".
Meanwhile my brother admitted he also played a role with the BET game and right now he is terribly sick..... Could it be my anger has power even more than imagination? 🤔🤔
