Hello my eSTEEMed STEEMians... It's been a while since I posted here due to some health issues, but thank God I'm okay now.

As you all know, I specify in giving you all fictional stories that sounds like real ones.

Today, we will focus on "stop hiding, part one."

Don't forget, this is fictional.... but it will look like real to you. Keep reading.
Stop hiding.

I live in Accra, Ghana. My parents lived in Arizona in the United States. I would love to share with you all a little of what happened to me while in Ghana.

My name is Jennifer, and I'm 24 years old. I'm beautiful, hard working and a very vibrant individual. While in the university, I felt in love with Victor, a Nigerian.

We loved each other and promised never to be separated. Victor was very rich, handsome and intelligent. He knows how to love a lady, and I was very proud of being his girlfriend.

We do almost everything together. But there is something I never knew about Victor, he had another girlfriend..... Wow!! I couldn't believe it myself.

This young man has promised me heaven and Earth. He don't look like someone who is double dating, and he has always devoted his time to only me.

Before I knew he was having another girlfriend, we had the best time of our lives. We attended different parties together and had always been the sweetest couple. But then, my 23th birthday, I would never forget it.

My 23th birthday.
On the 8th of August 2012, something bad happened, something I never expected. That day was the day of my 23th birthday. I invited a lot of people, including Victor's friends. It was a house party...

Linda was there also, Victor's other girlfriend. But at first, I didn't know she was his girlfriend. During the party and every other program that happened that day, we were just together.

Exactly 8:30pm, Victor requested for food and I went to get it for him. I had already kept his food in my room, and when I went to get it, I found it just the way I kept it. While bringing the food, mom called me and I had to take the call.

I ran to Victor and gave him his food before going out to talk with Mom since the house was noisy.
Mom called to tell me that they will be coming back in two weeks time. I couldn't wait to see them, I missed them so much.

We discussed for a very long time, and by the time I got back, Victor was done with his food. "The food was delicious" he said. We talked about our future and how we want to raise our kids.

"All these things never happened. I really missed Victor very much"

Victor's death.
Thirty minutes later Victor was vomiting some whitish foam from his mouth, and was very weak. I didn't know what the problem was. I called out for help and we took him to a hospital. I can feel Victor's heart beating heavily and this time around, he was vomiting blood on our way to the hospital.

When we got there, the nurses rushed him to the treatment room to commence treatment. They tried their best but couldn't save his life. Victor died that night and left me alone. I cried bitterly and swore to find the route of his death.

I saw how the nurses fixed his body to be taken to the mortuary. I cried out loud, but that didn't bring him back.

When I got home that night, I couldn't sleep..... I just pictured everything like it was an imaginary event and that his death was not real. My eyes were red and my face swollen.

I got arrested.
The next morning, his news got to his family and they asked the police to arrest the celebrant of the birthday party, which was me. I calmly followed them to the station and I was thoroughly interrogated and investigated.

I was tortured, and kept under close observation. I had to call my parents and tell them the situation on ground. They had to come back to Accra the next day. They met me at home, under house arrest. After being delt with at the police station.

I told my mom I didn't do it and she believed me. Dad also believed me and they both cheered me up. My papa also called his lawyer for me since the case was to be taken to the court.

At the court.
After two weeks, I was taken to the court where I have to defend myself. It wasn't easy at all. A lot of people where at the court, Jennifer was there also.

Nikki was taken as an eye witness who saw when I gave Victor the food. She openly told the court that I was the last person with Victor before his death. She testified against me...

When it was my turn to talk, just before I could say anything, Linda came up to the front and said she have something serious to say. What was that?? I don't know...

She confessed that she caused the death of Victor. That night, when she entered the room, she saw the food and thought it was mine. She was very furious and jealous of the fact that I was with Victor. So she poisoned the food thinking that I will be the one to eat it.

She also told the court how Victor lied to her that he had no girlfriend apart from her. That he told her that I was forcing myself on him... Me?? I thought what we had with Victor was a mutual feelings. So Victor had another girlfriend and I wasn't aware of it.

The judge confirmed everything she said and found out that it was all correct. He called the attention of the two lawyers before passing his verdict.

I was restless inside of me. I couldn't believe my ears and eyes. I really loved Victor, but he was busy cheating on me all this time.

I was released and asked to go home. My mom was very happy and Victor's parents came to apologise to me and my parents. It was easy for us to forgive them since it was a death issue, concerning their only son.

Nikki also came to me and pleaded that she never wanted to testify but she was the only person who saw us together before he died and she had no other choice, though she didn't say that i killed him.

I was free again..... I was restless before that day. I thought of running away and living my family behind. But I got to learn something, the truth shall always set you free.

Till this day, I can't forget Victor... He really meant a lot to me. He was the only man who showered me with love, even though he wasn't faithful.

Part two coming soon....
Thank you all for ready my fictional story about Jennifer and Victor. Thanks... Love you all
