Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 58

THENEXTDAY

Later that evening, Everyone in Abuja tunes in to Hermione’s TV show to listen to Linda’s confession, Everyone had been anxious to hear the real thing from Linda’s mouth, Hermione didn’t waste time to circulate the news of Linda’s interview earlier that morning.

At About 7:00pm, the interview starts finally and Linda spills everything out in the open…

.

Hermione So Linda.. Welcome once again to the talk show.

.

Linda Thanks Hermione.

.

Hermione So tell us Linda… Is it true that you were once a prostitute?

.

Linda …… Yes.

.

Hermione That’s interesting.. And can you tell us the reason why you became one?

.

Linda It pains me to talk about it but I will since you asked.. You know the condition people of this country face, My parents died when I was young leaving me alone with me and my brother, we had no family except our uncle who would maltreat us, day and night, we spent most of our lives suffering under this man’s roof, while other kids were enjoying their childhood, we were being brutalized and treated like slaves.. One day, my uncle went far in his atrocities, that he.. He…. he.. (cries)

.

Hermione Calm down Linda.. Take your time.. What did he do?

.

Linda Sniff.. He tried.. to.. to.. rape me, He was tearing off my clothes and was about to do his sinful act, when my brother came to my rescue, but that came with a price, as my brother saved me from my uncles grasp, Our uncle pushed him so hard, he hit his back on an iron rod that hit his spinal cord, My brother became paralyzed as a result of that, I was so angry when I saw that, I took that same rod and hit my uncle knocking him out, after that, I escaped with my brother..

.

Hermione Ohhh, that’s tragic.. And what happened after that?

.

Linda My brother and I started to look for a place to stay, luckily for us, my friend Regina gave us her place to stay, of course I couldn’t rely on her to feed us so I had to go out and hustle, there was no job and the worst part was my brother was dying due to his spinal injury, I couldn’t let him die, if only I had the money I could save his life.. So seeing that there was no I could find a means to get money, I decided to go into prostitution.

.

Hermione My God… Your story is just sad.. I’m sorry you had to go through all this, but if I may ask.. How long were you a prostitute?

.

Linda For six months.. I quit the job when my Friend Regina got me a job as a maid in Tony’s house.

.

Hermione That is wonderful, See your God works.. So where is your brother now? Is he okay and well?

.

Linda No he died the day he was discharged from the hospital..

.

Hermione (shocked) Jesus.. How did he die?

.

Linda He was knocked down by a.. car.

.

Hermione I’m so sorry for your loss… I really am.. Its a shame the way some people use your past as some kind of joke.. Some people are just so heartless and cruel.. I’m sorry you had to come all the way up here and tell your tragic story. So if I may ask Linda.. Was it your past that drove you to be helping out people the way you’re doing now?

.

Linda As a matter of fact, yes.. Since God made elevated my life, I’ve decided to help out people especially those like me who are helpless out there, I don’t want anyone to go through this painful and tragic path as I did.

.

Hermione Such compassion and care.. You’re truly a wonderful person Linda.. And I’m sure God will continue to bless you and reward your deeds and may your brother rest in peace. Alright then.. I’m afraid time isn’t on our side.. Thank you for your time, Linda.

.

Linda You’re welcome.

.

TONY

After the interview, I waited for Linda to come out, I felt sorry as I watched her spill everything out about herself, Moments later, Linda came out and we both left the place, The press and paparazzi were already outside waiting for us, As we came out they were busy taking pictures and asking us annoying questions.. In that moment, Faruk’s car parked in front of us, We quickly entered and drove away from the place…

.

Linda Tony, where are we going?

.

Tony Somewhere to meet someone.

.

Linda And who’s this someone?

.

Tony Don’t worry,… You’ll see.

.

Moments later, we arrived at a luxurious house within the Gwarimpa vicinity… After we were checked by the security, we drove into the house… The place was nice really… Whoever that owns the place is crazy rich.

After parking our car, Faruk led us into the house, as we got in, we met the lady that Faruk wanted us to see, She was wearing a sexy bikini and a long robe covered in fur and was busy enjoying her expensive pot of shisha which she was smoking with delight.

Linda stayed close to me holding my arm, she was surprised when she saw the lady in front of us… As the lady saw us, she adjusted her self and welcomed us warmly and then she ordered one of her servants to bring us something to eat and drink, Minutes later, the servants brought before us, a plate filled with fried chicken and pepper, and a bucket of champagne .

.

Kate Welcome to my humble shack… I hope you like this little display of mine it was the best I could do at the moment..

.

I couldn’t believe it when I heard that… First she called this magnificent house a shack and now she’s calling this feast a little display… Though I’m rich.. This statement was making me look poor.

.

Faruk No.. It’s okay, madam Kate..

.

Kate Hmm, So this is Linda.. You’re more beautiful in person.. Nice to see you.

.

Linda Thank you..

.

Kate And Mr. Tony.. It’s nice to see you again..

.

Tony The pleasure is mine as well.

.

Kate So… Faruk here tells me you have a problem that needs handling..

.

Tony Yes… I believe you know Funke Adejumo!?

.

Kate Of course.. That pompous b*tch that shows off at the TV… If I’m correct, wasn’t she your fiance once? I’m guessing she’s sore about you breaking up with her and replacing her with sweet Linda here.

.

Tony That’s correct…

.

Kate Let me guess… You want her off your back?

.

Tony Precisely!

.

Kate Hmm, that’s easy… I could have her killed…

.

Linda NO!!!

.

Tony Linda… Calm down.

.

Linda Is this why you brought us here… So you could kill Funke.. Sorry I won’t have blood on my hands.. Funke may be a bad person but she’s a human being.

.

Kate (laughs) Relax Linda… I was only joking.. My aren’t you something else.

.

Faruk So what are we going to do about her?

.

Kate Simple, do to her what she did to Linda.. Expose her biles deeds to the public.. I’ve done some checking on Funke and she’s being hanging around with a bad bunch.. And that includes her father… That old goat has been playing dirty for some time now.

.

Tony So you’re going to expose them?

.

Kate Yes.. But first let me see what Linda thinks..

.

Linda I think this is all bad.. There’s no need for this!

.

Kate Linda.. You’re sweet and soft but you’re naive.. Women like Funke won’t leave you alone, She’ll do whatever it takes to spoil your life.. Consider this a better way to keep her off your back.. And besides after this she won’t bother you again..

.

Linda Okay, its fine as long as you don’t kill her….

.

Kate Trust me I won’t.. (Yeah right)

.

Tony Okay then… How much do we pay you?

.

Kate Do I look let I need your chicken change? I’m just doing you a favor..

.

Faruk Thank you Madam Kate..

.

Tony Thank you for doing this for us..

.

Linda Thank you..

.

After that, we left her house without touching the food, In that moment, Kate ordered her servants to feed the chickens to her dogs.. I couldn’t believe this lady.. Does she grow money on trees.

Moments later, we left the place, entered our car and drove home.

.

FUNKE.

That Linda…. I’m going to kill her…. Just when I was having fun humiliating her, she turns the table back on me… Her confession made me look like a fool and because of that, I got a lot of insults and mocking gestures… As if that wasn’t enough, something terrible happened.. Someone reported and leaked my father’s shady business to the media and he was arrested.. All his friends involved in it were caught as well…. This men were my source of income but now they’re all arrested and shortly after that, Cecilia posted on her Instagram page about my secret dealings with men… also exposing to the world about the reason why tony broke off with me..

Her post were viral, making me look like a laughing stock… I wanted to consult Frank if he could help me tackle the situation but he ignored me, in fact, he blocked my contact. Even when I went to his house, he would make his guards to send me away.

I did all I could to get my father out but due to the evidence gathered against him, I couldn’t do so and besides the lawyers told me that someone very powerful had made sure, he wouldn’t come out ever..

I felt alone and unwanted, I had no one and there was nobody I could turn to.

One morning, as I arrived at work, I saw a notice sign in front of the building that said the building has been confiscated by the government and that my News station has been shut down.. And the building is to be teared down in a couple of days.. , I couldn’t believe it.. I had to drive to the local government administration to ask the reason behind all this, as I got there, I was told it was shut down due to the illegal information I broadcasted…

Later that night, I watched with tears as the closure of my news station was announced on TV.. I was filled with Rage when I heard my building was going to be used for Linda’s entrepreneurship center.. Not only did this btch steal my love life but now she’s also taking away my life as well… I’ll be damned if I’m going to let her live to enjoy all this… If I’m going to lose everything.. She’s going to lose her life as well. It’s time for this ghetto btch to meet her maker…
