Chapter 1

Kiara's POV

I lazily got off my bed, one look at the mirror, my head was just as bad.

I splashed some water on my face to feel refreshing and bitterly wished I could wash my brains free from toxins...

I don't drink much but yesterday I couldn't help it. Yesterday was supposed to be the best day of my life. I was finally graduating from college but things didn't go as I expected.

I thought my dad would forgive me for changing my course from engineering to fashion designer without his consent after he saw I got first-class honors but an African dad is an African dad.

All I received was a hot slap and disappointment. Yeah, let me spell it out loud... My dad disowned me when he found out that being a celebrity designer was not only a part-time job but something I planned to do for the rest of my life.

You know with African parents, they want you to fulfill their dreams without minding what you want... but my parents didn't get that liberty cause nobody controls my life apart from me.

my life my rules.

And don't ask if I feel bad. yes, I do but shit happens and all I have to do now is move on and focus on my career.

I retreated under the Duvet trying to call David for the tenth time now but he wasn't picking up.

When I don't need him, he keeps following me like a dog but when I need some hugs and cuddles he's nowhere to be found...

I slept till late afternoon since I felt the blackest clouds over my head and had no intention of clearing.

So I dragged myself up, took a quick shower, and ransacked my disorganized closet to find some decent thing to wear. I couldn't tell if I had some clean clothes left since it had been a month since I did my laundering last.

Yeah, am disorganized, very disorganized.

It took like forever to dress up, my clothes were mixed up so I had to smell them up to find out which were clean and which were not.

Finally, I came across a clean pair of tights and a black crop top... shrugging, I took the bra I had worn yesterday from the floor, wore it, and dressed myself up. Put on my wig, and a slight touch of lip gloss and I was good to go...

Max and Jane were watching a repeat episode of Selina on Dstv holding each other so close.

Who were Max and Jane?? They were my roommates and also my best friends. Don't get things twisted, I live with them because I hate loneliness not because I can't afford to live on my own.

"Hey lovebirds, I can't believe you guys are watching this episode again.

"I love Selina so much... " Max stated.

"And I love Biko a lot... "Jane added acting all emotional.

"Okay, as for me I am heading to David's house. That fool ain't picking my calls."

Please be lenient with him, don't let hell break loose...

"Max wore a worried look " I will try...."

When I arrived at David's house, I could hear noise from the other side...

I just hope that son of a mother is not cheating on me because his next destination would be hell...

I gathered all the courage I needed and knocked on the door.

Guess, who opened it? A beautiful petite who had the guts to wear my favorite T-shirt.

My blood began to heat with rage and jealousy.

"And you are??" she asked chewing her gum very irritatingly.

Excuse me??" I looked at her with burning reproachful eyes...

"Honey you have a visitor"... she said turning around.

My head was calling all the Catholic saints to forgive me for what I was to do next...

I pulled her by her hair and dragged her inside.

" Where is David??" I asked before throwing her on the floor...

"Baby, what's wrong?"

David came running with only underwear on, showing off his perfect body, wait my perfect body, it belonged to me.

"Baby?" I questioned disbelievingly.

"Kiara, what are you doing here?"

"You would have known I was coming if you had the nerve to pick up my calls you fool...."

He began stammering, scratching his head.

"David, what is this??"

He didn't reply but helped the girl and pushed her behind him...

"You are not going to answer me??" I took the flower vase beside me and threw it on the floor.

"I told you if I ever find out you were cheating on me I would kill you...

I began throwing tantrums and insults at him together with pillows and everything that was around me...

" Kaira, calm down... it's not what you think..."

"Not what I think?, she's in your house, putting on my favorite T-shirt".

My anger was a scalding fury.....

" But I will teach you two a lesson... " I threatened ready to bounce on her but David held me back.

"David I want this girl out of here, I am your girlfriend.." I tried reminding him because it seemed he wasn't sure who I was to him.

But he just held me back as I tried throwing kicks and slapping that girl but she was out of reach...

"Baby, go to the room, I will deal with this..."

David shamelessly stated and the girl shamelessly nodded.

"You called her baby?" I murmured sadly dropping my hand that was suspended in the air...

"Yes, she's pregnant for me...."

I pushed him away and staggered back. I was trying to understand what exactly he meant when he used the word "pregnant". I was half blanked out cause I couldn't alter a word... then I managed to ask him. " I thought you understood why I didn't want to have babies.

"It's not that, it's her I love....."

"What are you talking about David?"

"what about me? what about us?." I thought we had a future.... common David...

"I am sorry but I can't keep up with your craziness anymore. You are too crazy for me"

I could feel tears burning behind my eyes but I wasn't the kind to cry...

I draw my sadness, sing my sadness, and drink my sadness...

"I hate you..." I began slapping his chest and trying so hard to bite him but the effort was meaningless...

"You are crazy. Just get out of my house..." David yelled pushing me out. " I don't ever want to see you again" He slammed the door in my face.

"I hope that baby dies. I wish you two never be happy.." I shouted behind the closed door and the next thing that followed was him throwing my things at me, " just go...."
