LOGINI never asked for this life. I was in love with someone else—someone I believed I’d grow old with. But my father had other plans. He begged me to marry a man I didn’t know, Dexter Cooper, just to keep a promise he made years ago with his rich friend. When I refused, he said he would end his life. I didn’t want that on my conscience. So I agreed. Dexter didn’t want me either. He already had a girlfriend and made it clear that I wasn’t good enough for him. From the first day of our marriage, he hated me. He humiliated me, pushed me aside, and had affairs right in front of me. I had no voice, no one to believe me—not even my father. But then came Derek—Dexter’s younger brother. He noticed me, paid attention to what I said, and took good care of me. I finally felt like I was important. We got closer, and I started to really like him. A single secret moment between us turned things around completely. When the truth emerged about the betrayal and lies, I faced a choice: fight for respect or leave to guard my heart. This is my story of pain, love, and betrayal. I didn’t choose this war, but I won’t be a victim in it.

He wishes to find a way to return to Ciara's house and plead for her forgiveness again. Hopefully, she listens to him and they start their relationship over again.“No, mate,”Parker shrugs off as he pulls himself away from Walters. Despite not hearing from Walters, he already assumed that Walters was never going to make any sense. This goes to show how low he thinks of Walters. “Are you really my friend?” Walters fumed. He didn't expect such an attitude from Parker. He could have sworn that Parker would stand by him in this difficult time. Unfortunately, it doesn't even seem like Parker is loving it. The only reason Parker hasn't kicked Walters out of the car is due to the friendship they share. Parker isn't ready to lose his friendship with Walters. A bond they have shared since they were kids. Unfortunately, Walters is
“How did it go?”Parker asked Walters the moment he got back to the car. “Bad,” Walters answered with regret. “She passed the test. She was too smart to dance to my tune,” Walters answered. Regret is spreading over his face like a wildfire. He thought Ciara would be a walk in the park for him. He has no idea she would turn out to be so smart. “So when do I get credited?” Parker asked. He was damn excited that Ciara turned down Walter's request to rekindle their romance. When Walters talked about it, Parker was the first to kick against it. He warned Walters about the possibility of becoming wiser than before. Walters doubted Parker. He bragged of knowing Ciara better than anyone. Including Kelly, Ciara's father. To prove his claim, Walters suggested a bet of two thousand dollars. Should Ciara turn down Walter's request, Parker wins the bet.Apparently, Ciara didn't dance to Walter's Tune. He was never interested in Ciara. It was all about the bet. The thought of losing on
“You know what?You can leave now. I'm done seeing your ugly face around,” Ciara told Walters. She moves to the doorway, leaving it widened for Walter's exit.“Like seriously?”Walters scoffed.He folds his arms and walks slowly to Ciara, staring directly in her eyes, saying, “You want me to leave?”“Isn't that what you've always wanted? Where's this coming from?” Ciara fumed. A while ago, Walters stressed that he wanted to leave. He wasn't comfortable being around Ciara anymore. Suddenly, he saw the need to stay back. That's something Ciara is yet to understand.“Everything changed, Ciara,” Walters screamed at Ciara.His voice was too loud. Loud enough to make her father want to come fight Walters.Unfortunately, Romeo pulled him back, saying, “Don't do that. Let them be. He won't hurt her."“Are you sure about this? I know Walter better than you,” Kelly protests. He finds it difficult to trust Romeo's suggestion. Kelly's hatred towards Walters has made him turn deaf ears to any g
“Kidnapped?” Ciara muttered to herself in disbelief. She's yet to believe the words from Romeo. She didn't speak afterward because she was trying to believe what she heard wasn't true. A few minutes after Romeo shattered the table, no one said a word. Not even Ciara, who just received the biggest shock of her life.“Didn't you hear what I said?” Romeo rejuvenated her lost mind. He doubted if she heard him the second time. “Of course, I heard you,” she yelled at Romeo.“I'm not deaf.I just wanted to be certain if that was a prank, and you just proved me wrong,” Ciara uttered further. She moves in her father's direction, seeking more explanation, even though Romeo had already done that. She figured that hearing from her father would further satisfy her curiosity.“Dad, is it true what the person is saying?” Ciara asked Kelly.“Like seriously?” Walters sparked outrageously, reminding Ciara that he needs to leave. He can't seem to understand why he's holding him hostage against hi
