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?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gr4z7x1kU
“I went to see a friend.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TX4phHErJ
“And you missed a test today?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbXrVyeQDy
Abioye shrugged and said, “And so what? It’s not like it’s the end of the world, is it?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPwlHpcuuN
Mercy shook her head. “I hope you realize you're making the worst mistake of your life by hanging out with that Bamidele.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMeqIC83bv
Abioye rolled her eyes and walked inside. Mercy stood there, thinking, This girl is making a terrible mistake.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MBY9L366n
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?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD4RGlw7M2
“I’m here to see Abioye. Is she around?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31A5IRZJcO
“No, she’s not,” Mercy replied flatly.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuBtkgIDvd
Just then, Abioye rushed out. “I’m around, Mercy! Why did you tell him I’m not around?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rCKmq3ycQ
Mercy quietly returned to her room while Abioye welcomed Bamidele into the house. She took him to her room and offered him a seat.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd3PWLCFxz
“What can I offer you?” she asked.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XZWBa5ij1
“Anything is fine,” he said.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemZBtXll9f
She brought him juice from the fridge.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySSobvWq6M
“I didn’t know you were coming to see me.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa03ewhr2l6
“I just wanted to check up on you,” he replied.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKllroxzKrR
“Aww, that’s so sweet,” Abioye said, giving him a hug.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1UhDSgyvt
Then Bamidele looked at her seriously. “But Abioye, why is your friend so jealous of our relationship?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDHuVe3YeD
“Jealous?” Abioye asked, surprised.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qlCOXl67h
“Yes. She hates to see me with you—because I rejected her when she confessed her feelings to me.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTiAw6ij1e
“What?!” Abioye gasped, confused. “She asked you out?”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy56VMbaPiI
“Yes, she did. But I rejected her for you. You need to be careful of her,she’s dangerous.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1CT3JepRp
“I will,” she said, nodding with assurance.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcHB2oIeGG
They chatted for a while before he left.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeYDii2qsD
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.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SfXFmIn87
“Or should I say you’re jealous!” Abioye snapped with sarcasm.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiHv7f0VLc
“What?” Mercy asked, surprised.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbRsGcKQBe
“You think I don’t know you have eyes for Bamidele? Guess what—he’ll never look at you!”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U32JZwqn0
Mercy laughed. “I don’t need a playboy by my side. And you? You’ve started believing that player over your own friend.”
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxX7qT6hYa
“Oh please! I’m not friends with a jealous person!” Abioye fired back.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtzAtEkhH6
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwACKt9hoyp
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PgWOrGbif
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1W2Pbiu7v
Unknown to her, he spiked her drink—with both a high-sexual-drive pill and a drowsy sedative.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZEdFQbFGB
She drank it all.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9TtICHA76
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XDQMwW02S
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT6KrfmZ98
He drove her home and bade her goodnight.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW6UUta77p
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SkXUhj7jV
She dismissed the thoughts and went to sleep.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp4e6eJfTr
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3uWrSNsKt
Mercy tried to talk to her, but it only led to another fight.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42XP6ubvYv
But will Abioye survive what is coming for her?
