As time went on, Abioye tried to balance schoolwork with her relationship with Bamidele. But he took most of her time, and it became harder to focus on her studies.

One morning, Abioye and Mercy were in class when she received a text from Bamidele, asking her to meet him at the Love Garden. She made an excuse to Mercy and went to spend the day with him. Mercy tried calling her to come back and take a test, but she didn’t answer her calls.

When Abioye got home, Mercy stood by the door and asked, “Where are you coming from, Abioye?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr1n8om3x6
“I went to see a friend.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdykTJDfUl
“And you missed a test today?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nHRwb32dY
Abioye shrugged and said, “And so what? It’s not like it’s the end of the world, is it?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX1Zv4Uw94
Mercy shook her head. “I hope you realize you're making the worst mistake of your life by hanging out with that Bamidele.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx5Ofbqz44
Abioye rolled her eyes and walked inside. Mercy stood there, thinking, This girl is making a terrible mistake.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4VQibPBHy
They spent the night in silence.

The next day, after cleaning the house, the doorbell rang. Mercy went to check who it was—it was Bamidele. She hissed and asked, “What can I do for you?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx3ljttdlP
“I’m here to see Abioye. Is she around?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfiCeo99Jj
“No, she’s not,” Mercy replied flatly.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAe7pp0V0d
Just then, Abioye rushed out. “I’m around, Mercy! Why did you tell him I’m not around?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEDLznelHR
Mercy quietly returned to her room while Abioye welcomed Bamidele into the house. She took him to her room and offered him a seat.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdhncXafzD
“What can I offer you?” she asked.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCietxqI7f
“Anything is fine,” he said.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYyrx1rZFO
She brought him juice from the fridge.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLgxQZ2miS
“I didn’t know you were coming to see me.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF5JxNsAg4
“I just wanted to check up on you,” he replied.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6BYJHr5RD
“Aww, that’s so sweet,” Abioye said, giving him a hug.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G0pW4ctuD
Then Bamidele looked at her seriously. “But Abioye, why is your friend so jealous of our relationship?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWL0NNYrxJ
“Jealous?” Abioye asked, surprised.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcDtrPlZ9D
“Yes. She hates to see me with you—because I rejected her when she confessed her feelings to me.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6uaXwDTaB
“What?!” Abioye gasped, confused. “She asked you out?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYXTQ6Bu6i
“Yes, she did. But I rejected her for you. You need to be careful of her,she’s dangerous.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGTr24S29v
“I will,” she said, nodding with assurance.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMeYb9DVex
They chatted for a while before he left.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB7CvvUTUe
The next morning, Abioye was cooking while on the phone with Bamidele. Mercy walked in and said, “I hope you don’t disappoint your parents because of this guy.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBW8AVeeIZ
“Or should I say you’re jealous!” Abioye snapped with sarcasm.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahWARyGziw
“What?” Mercy asked, surprised.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNuP9DUbv1
“You think I don’t know you have eyes for Bamidele? Guess what—he’ll never look at you!”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJZc2iJQJz
Mercy laughed. “I don’t need a playboy by my side. And you? You’ve started believing that player over your own friend.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgurNVGYRVR
“Oh please! I’m not friends with a jealous person!” Abioye fired back.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0pR2VUzNP
After that argument, the strain in their friendship became obvious. They barely spoke. Abioye avoided Mercy at every chance. The silence and malice in the house became unbearable.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFif3s7Yyjs
One Saturday, Bamidele invited Abioye to a night party. She was reluctant at first, but his sweet words and persuasion wore her down. That night, she snuck out to the party.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKvHhBTbr8
There was loud music, strippers, and an intense, wild vibe. Bamidele took her to meet his friends. They welcomed her warmly and started chatting with her. After a while, Abioye got thirsty and wanted a drink. Bamidele offered to get her one.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUisFXH0Nta
Unknown to her, he spiked her drink—with both a high-sexual-drive pill and a drowsy sedative.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBZkpz3Lmq
She drank it all.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoaAspEoK1
Within an hour, the pills started to take effect. He offered to help her into a room. Once there, he took advantage of her and deflowered her. He left her unconscious.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28JnHzmo5d
When she woke up, Bamidele had returned to the room. She complained of a headache and felt something was off—but she waved it off when Bamidele told her she just got drunk.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lviSyppXV
He drove her home and bade her goodnight.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYSpR3km0S
She snuck back into the house without Mercy noticing. That night, guilt kept her awake. She remembered her parents' warnings, but a voice whispered, He treats me right. He’s the one for me.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUr4m8tORH
She dismissed the thoughts and went to sleep.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpa6JbY5jU
From that day on, Abioye's grades began to fall. She hung out with Bamidele more often. She failed tests and exams. Her CGPA dropped drastically.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaMVZlCGsi
Mercy tried to talk to her, but it only led to another fight.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3UQLB62Ig
But will Abioye survive what is coming for her?
