Sandra had went to the beach to grieve over her cheating fiance and ends up receiving a bouqet of flowers.
"Wipe your tears.....Someone still cares alot about you, Sandy" Sandra wondered who the person could be.
"I don't need anyone else in my life now" She said to herself."Admirer or no Admirer, its all tricks"
"Once they get what they wanted from you, you become worthless to them"
She threw the bunch to a side and fetch her phone from her purse. Scrolled the contacts to 'MY MUM' and dialled.
"Hello Mum, how are you doing?"
"Yeah, I'm fine"
"I-uhm-i'm wondering if i could stay at your place for a few days"
"I can't explain on phone, but i would tell you when i arrive"
"Would be there in 30 minutes"
She ended the call, stood up, re-apply her make-up and sashayed toward the roadside.
"Wale isn't worthy of my tears truly, maybe Silent Admirer is right, whoever he is"
She went to the taxi rank and took a cab.She gave the driver the address of her mother's house and he sped off.
A man who has been watching her from a distance ensure the taxi leave before leaving his hiding spot.
"That's the first, Sandy. There're still more to come till you agree to be mine"
He got into his car and hit the asphalt in opposite direction
