15th of July 2002. The worse day of my life, the best day of my life, the day it all began. Ben, a young student of University of Nsukka full of life wondering if he will find love or end up being a flirt. His life has been full of strange women, a lot came and left, some stayed and it ended up being about sex. And in case you are wondering, he can never count the number of girls he has had sex with from his year one to year three. He asked Is my life a porn story? While sitting on the pavement he wondered. Then she passed by, all of the sudden all his thoughts began to drift away. She was the lady of my dreams, don't think it was because of her amazing height but because she was the most intelligent girl in my faculty, also God fearing, he thought that's what he loved most about her. She walked into the Law faculty for a fellowship then he guessed something asked him to follow her. Luckily for him the usher directed him to a seat close to her. Couldn’t stop staring at her, she was an amazing creature. They went for offering but when he came back he couldn't find her. Why did I go for offering? he thought. He left the service, walking sadly until someone called to his attention behold it was her. I think you left your keys back at the auditorium she said handing him a bunch of keys, the joy in his heart wasn't about finding the keys he was unaware was missing but the fact that she was around and she talked to him. Thank you, may I know the name of the beautiful lady that saved my day? He asked. Sarah, she answered. Can I walk you to your hostel? He asked hoping she won't decline. Sure, she answered. They got closer as the days pass by, being there for each other. She actually made him change his evil ways. Their relationship was sex free because Sarah wanted to keep herself till her wedding night.
After graduation was then NYSC (National Youth Service Corps). It was worked out in such a way they got posted to the same state. Then, he turned a new leaf completely and was called to minister the word of God. He began a ministry and also preached at public centers, winning souls for God, living a righteous life with his beautiful Sarah by his side.
Two years after service they got married. The first few years was amazing, a family filled with love and compassion. The Lord decided to bless them with twins, a boy and a girl. They raised their kids according to the teachings of God. If anyone that had known him back in university won't believe he was the one with such beautiful family. They lived happily, until tragedy struck.
One fateful Saturday, Sarah decided to take the kids to the beach to have fun. Her attention shifted away from them when she met an old friend and started chatting, the kids played their way to the sea and drowned. Sarah was devastated, she was never herself. She felt responsible for the death of her kids, she felt her life was over. Her husband was disappointed in her actions, he also blamed her for their death, he didn't help matters. The love they shared diminished, the happy family disappeared, hatred came into the picture.
Six months after the incident, a new attorney was transferred to the firm where she works. Good day, we are behind schedule on the abduction case. We need to have a board meeting concerning this case, he said to Sarah. Tolu, I know. Can you please do me a favour? She asked. Yes sure, anything, she said. Tolu please I need you to send letters to the members of the board to inform them about the meeting, fix a date and let me know also, she said. Okay, no problem. But are you okay? He asked. Yes I am, thank you. Okay, if you say so, he replied.
Tolu and Sarah worked on several cases together, this drew them closer. Sarah received attention and care that was derived from her by her husband from Tolu. She grew feelings for him, and Tolu also had feelings for her despite the fact he knows that she’s married.
Tolu invited Sarah to his apartment for a friendly visit. After sometime he decided to have a shower, he shouted which made Sarah to rush into the room. On getting there, she saw Tolu on the bath floor half naked. She asked what happened and he said he slipped. Helping him up on his feet, he kissed her. She enjoyed it and couldn't resist his hot body. Should I allow him to continue?  Should I cheat on my husband? She thought.
