Episode 2

Camila went to her father and requested for a huge amount of money.
"Dad, please, I need 500,000 thousand naira" Camila said in a low Tone.
Camila's father was speechless for a while.
"Dad please, it's important" Camila added.

Camila's father still didn't utter a word immediately, he wondered what was going on with his only daughter, because lately she had became too demanding.
"Camila I thought you had more than 3 million in your account, don't tell me you have exhausted all that money in just a month" Camila's father finally said.

Camila couldn't respond, she stared at her father Speechlessly.
"Tell me my daughter what is going on, just last week your mom told me she transferred 800 hundred thousand to your account, that's a total sum of 3.8million, if I don't know you well, I would have thought that you are doing drugs" Camila's father continued.
Shared on whatsapp by Martino.
"Dad I can never do drugs, God forbid, Dad I'm running a charity event, to assist the sick and the poor, you and mom have always encouraged me to help others and that I should never feel that I'm better than anyone" Camila lied.
"Really? That's good... I'm proud of you my girl" Camila's father entered and he promised to transfer more 10 million naira to Camila's bank account the next day.
Camila was so excited but when her father walked away, her smile turned in to a quick frown.

Camila who had never lied to her parents felt guilty but she didn't do anything about it, her love for Emmanuel couldn't let her do things right.

Camila couldn't forget the SADDEST THING that happened to her, was losing her parents to the cold hands of death. They had only gone to Abuja for a wedding ceremony, Camila remembered how she almost went along with them but at the last minute, her mother told her to stay behind.
"Camila you are just recovering from an illness, it's not a good idea if you come along with us, you need to rest my child" Camila's mother had said.

"Mom no, I want to come along, please mom, I will be very lonely" Camila said she was almost shedding tears.
'sweet heart before you know it we will be back from Abuja, you are recovering from a terrible illness that knocked your system down " Camila's mother had said and Camila's father nodded in agreement.

"We will be back tomorrow, please take care of yourself my dear" Camila's father concluded and hugged her so tightly, it was indeed a last hug.
The lovely couple headed to the airport to catch their flight to Abuja.
But it was a pity that they never got to their destination, as thier flight crashed on their way to Abuja.

Camila cried like she was going to die, she couldn't be consoled. She almost lost her mind.

Six months after she lost her parents, her father's relatives almost took everything Camila's parents left behind but thank God they left their last will with their attorney, according to the will Camila inherited all her parents had respectively, making her the wealthiest young lady in africa.

Camila and Vivian had arrived at the gate, Vivian who was at the steering at just horned at the gate, bringing Camila back to her senses.
"Oh where is your security man, he kept us hanging here in the gate for close to 5 minutes now" Vivian said calmly and at the same time she stared into her best friend's eyes.
"Really?" Camila managed to respond.
"Yes,... Camila, you didn't utter a word all through the drive home, even when I raised a conversation, you didn't respond, " Vivian complained.

"I'm sorry my friend, I was lost in my own thought, I wish my parents are here with me, I miss them so much, when they died, I ran into marriage with Emmanuel thinking that he would fill that void they left in my heart, I gave Emmanuel my heart and everything I had but what did he do, he broke me, my life will never remain the same, I married him one year after I lost my parents, gradually I began to observe that he was more interested in my money, he is more loving when I give him money but when I don't, he will be so upset that he would threatened to be with another woman who would give him lots of money... I shouldn't have gotten married to him, he ruined my life, I have lost my self esteem because of that stupid marriage and even ending it couldn't bring me peace" Camila said calmly and she wiped tears from her eyes.
Vivian who couldn't bear to watch her best friend suffer, hugged her and she tried her best to console Camila.

Each passing day, Camila became very depressed, she had tried her best to hide her feelings from everyone especially her best friend vivian, she was tired of being pitied.

Camila gradually turned to alcohol as she began to visit bars for couple of drinks. The more she tried to forget her sorrow with bottles of alcohol, the more she became addicted to drinking.

One evening, Camila was at the bar as usual drinking her sorrows away, when a young man walked up to her table.
"Hello beautiful" the young man entered.
"Who... Are ... You?" Camila asked in her drunken state.
