Shades Of Lust

Episode Twelve (12) – “Pain and Agony”
What the hell was he doing here? I asked myself.
Ampofo looked surprised to see me and coincidentally, he is also the second task on the psychologist list.
“What a surprise to see you here” AK asked.
“Well, we have my brother to thank for that, and how the hell do you two know each other” I asked.
“Why would you ask that question. I’m more into this case than you think” AK said.
Miz T, felt lost about the whole thing and all she had to do was excuse herself with her son leaving me with my two so called lovers.
“Anyway, you got to pull some strings and bail my brother out. He has been arrested for the murder of Vanessa….” I said
“We know that” Ampofo interrupted. “We were planning to see you though. There’s something you need to know about your friend’s demise”
“He’s right. I think you should sit down and listen to this” Ak said.
I immediately sat down and Ampofo brought out a phone. I immediately recognized that it was that of Vanessa.
He pressed a button and placed it on a table for me to listen to a recording that Vanessa did before she died.
“If you are listening to this, then I guess I’m no more” – From recorded Voice
I immediately noticed it was Vanessa’s voice. I kept on listening attentively.
“I have lived my life in full smiles. Smiles that covered the true pains I felt within. Pains and agony that was built on a foundation of love. It was my love that brought me this pain.
“My first Love, who happened to be my best friend’s step brother – Vanderwal, treated me like a queen and respected me for the woman that I am.
Until I betrayed his trust and cheated on him with Ampofo. And that was enough to bring out the beast in him. He beat me up out of the pain I put him through.
He couldn’t take it any longer. I damaged him beyond repairs.
He then decided to move on with life and live abroad. All because of me, he couldn’t take the pains of loosing me that he got himself into drugs.
He swore never to tell anyone about what I did to him. He felt I was his weakness. I wasn’t proud of what I did, I had been living with this guilt till now.
I thought my friend was deliberately dating Ampofo just because she wanted to avenge what I did to his brother but again I was wrong.
I put my friend in pains just because I was selfish. I am the problem and I don’t think I can even forgive myself for this. I can’t anymore, that’s why I’m choosing to end this.
I’m sorry that I have to take everyone close to me through pains. It’s all over now. I’m ending it all.
I don’t deserve to be among the living.” – Recorded Voice.
Tears rolled down my cheeks. How could She have done that. All along I thought, the problem was my brother and someone was behind her death not knowing, it was a suicide.
