Love Or Money – Fake Love Story
Jane’s childhood was anything but ordinary. Her father didn’t marry for love; he married for the promise of a family, while her mother married for money. Jane grew up hearing her mother say, “Love with your head, not your heart,” and to always prioritize financial stability over romantic whims. It’s no wonder Jane is conflicted about love. Enter Damian, a man who challenges everything Jane thought she knew about relationships. Will she follow her mother’s advice or risk it all for a chance at real love? Let’s find out!
Episode 1 : Jane’s Conflicted Childhood
Growing up I was taught money was actually everything in life, and my teachers weren’t wrong, we all need money to survive the hardship of the world’s economy.,
Heard my father countless times always saying he didn’t marry my mother cause he loved her, he married her to bear children for him.. funny right??
When I asked my mother why she married him, her reply was always the same, “he had money and I love him” look Jane, I married your father cause I do not want my children to suffer what I suffered..
It’s fine! You did the right thing mum, you and dad have different perspectives, I thought love is the greatest, so you both did not really marry for love… he married you cause he needs children and you married him cause he had money and you partially love him right??
Jane.. I had to put you and your siblings interest first okay, no doubt, I and your dad were inlove but the love lasted cause there’s money to keep it going.
You have to love with your head and not your heart, you shouldn’t fall inlove with a man that’s still struggling to survive, it will make you age easily and when they eventually make money they’ll leave you Jane.. I’ve been there before and I know how this things work..
So, love your man and also love money..
So why did you divorce my father?
It’s not my fault it had to happen like this.. your father loves to flirt cause he’s rich and most women love money too.. he got someone pregnant, he stopped giving me attention and I couldn’t stay, he took your siblings leaving you with me cause you were still tender.
I didn’t separate you from him, you have access to him and both of you always communicate right??
You wanted his attention??
Yes of course.. Every woman loves attention.. if there’s no attention then there’s no love.. do not let them deceive you. I’ve been through worse.
So what’s your advice for me as a mother?
Fall in love with a man that has a future and also money.. love his money first… if he loves you he’ll put the ring on your finger.
How do I know he loves me?
You’ll know.. True love is hard to find… you just have to keep searching..
I’ll be visiting my siblings and my father tomorrow.
Why?
He called, he said he needs to see me..Are you coming??
No..
Okay, I’ll send your greetings..
Jane, be careful, do not allow him tell you lies.. what about our failed marriage, remember he cheated.
I believe you mum..
Each time I want to meet with my father I always feel nervous, having cold feet, I miss my siblings, so it was worth the feeling..
On Sunday morning exactly 10am I had prepared to see my father and my siblings again, It was a journey of 6 and half hours, I still know my way around the place.
I got to my fathers house, it was like they were already waiting for me..
I saw my father and hugged him, I actually missed the father and daughter relationship..
Meeting my stepmom was awful, she snatched my father from my mother. I had to pretend to get along with her, I wouldn’t want to miss the goodies in stock for me.. so I am playing cool.
Jane, I never knew you’d be here soo early, I miss you little sister, how’s mum??
She’s fine Joseph, I miss you too big bro.. we have a lot to talk about..where’s big sis?
She is with her friend inside her room.
Seems dad is hosting a party for your sake Jane..
That’s what he always do each time you’re coming.. so tell me about your relationship Jane.
Relationship? I’ve been single for like three to four months now.
Why? What happend??
Joseph, I can’t settle for less, I’m good looking right?
You didn’t know he was broke before accepting him?
He lied about his financial status anyway.. he couldn’t meet up my needs..
How many relationships have you been so far?
It’s my private life Joseph.. thanks for asking..
Well, the table is ready.. Joseph call your sister Mary.
My fathered wife which is my step mum was trying so hard to create a conversation with me.. I ignored.
We ate, laughed, play games, and danced, I couldn’t believe I was happy again..
Jane, can I talk to you? My father asked.
Yes father..
How’s your mother and how have you both been coping alone?
You should ask about my mother, if you cared so much about her you wouldn’t have left.
I did not leave Jane, your mother left with you..
That’s cause you asked her to leave..
I never asked her to leave, I wanted her to stay and I wanted to raise you but she insisted.
You gave her no choice, you got your wife pregnant, you were cheating on her
She made me cheat.
How? You married my mother and the next thing you could think of is cheat , you cheated till you got your mistress pregnant, what if she had AIDS? My mother would have been infected.
Jane, your mother has brainwashed you with lies.. she never loved me.. she married me cause of my money.
You married her cause you wanted children, isn’t that what you always tell me?? Or is there anything I need to know?
It is her duty to bear children for me as a married woman, I loved her but she wasn’t too serious about the whole thing, I had to marry her cause I also needed her to give birth, I thought giving me children would make her love me more but no, it was always about money.
And this your new wife doesn’t love money?
Everyone loves money Jane.. but your mother’s own is a curse.. you shouldn’t be like her..it will ruin you..
Did she tell you she cheated first cause I refused to give her the huge amount of money she asked for?
I’ve never heard of that dad.. do not tell me my mum cheated and you tried to pay her back by cheating and getting another woman pregnant.. you’re a liar.. looking back my whole life without my complete family has done more harm than good to me.. most times I am depressed
Jane, you can come stay with us. Your step mother is a nice person.
I don’t like her..and I can’t stay..
Your siblings needs you here.. your mother will only make things worse and your life miserable.
Father, I am sorry to say but you’re the person making my life miserable, you left me when I was a baby. Do you know how my mother struggled to take care of me?
I supported her. , she was depriving me from seeing you.. I had to sue her.. I gave her the privilege to have custody of you cause you were still feeding from her breast..
I’m grown now and I can decide who I want to stay with.. I cannot stay here.. I’m sorry..
I already have a cheque for you and your mother, you can always call me when you need anything, you can also visit without me asking you to come..
Jane, I really do not like your response towards your step sister and brother.
I don’t like their mother and I don’t like her offsprings.. she divided our family.. I do not want to talk about it.
Aside the Cheque, I need money to put my room in order..
Joseph your brother will give you some cash..
I have one advice for you Jane, do not take your mothers advice.. find a man who love you and who you love also.. money isn’t everything.. love cannot be bought.
I can’t date a man with little money, I have needs and I have a mother to care for. If they do not have money they shouldn’t come close.
Your wife is still here cause of the money you have father. Love is money.
It’s not true Jane, I love your father..
How long have you been here my fathers mistress turned wife… I asked.
She’s not my mistress, she’s my wife..
She was your mistress father, you were married and having an affair with her,
Didn’t you know he was married??
I knew he was married..
You see! My mother was right..
Everything happened for a reason Jane, I did not ask for this.. I am sorry it has to be this way, it’s in the past..
I was still a child when you decided to take my father away from me.
Jane, calm down. My brother said holding me.
Do you know the pains and trauma I went through when I found out I had siblings and a father?
You have to let everything go, I understand your pain. My sister said.
It is easy for you to say Mary because you grew up with the one that has the money, have any of you visited us?
So just shut up, You don’t understand anything.. You all should leave me alone.
Jane you’re going crazy..
I’ll be leaving in minutes, dad please the cheque and the money.. my anger doesn’t reject money.. if there’s anything I’m taking home, I’ll be needing them too.
I’m outside..
I’ll drop her in the park. Joseph said.
Episode 2 : A Tense Family Reunion and Lessons on Love
There are some things you really do not have to say anymore Jane, what happend should be thrown in the trash, talking to your father, our father like that is soo annoying and it means mum hasn’t been raising you well.
Joseph, just drive me to the park then go back home, cause I really do not understand why it is difficult for you and Mary to understand what our father did.
Let me tell you something now, am I living the life you’re living now?
But dad sends you money, he takes good care of you.
That’s what y’all will say… still doesn’t change the fact that all of you do not want to know where me and mum live.
I know how hard it is for you Jane but you have to think and rethink before saying or doing anything. Dads wife is the best woman ever she’s humble and she gives good advice.
A snatcher gives good advice..? Are you trying to say mum wasn’t a good wife?
I never said that!
I’ll come visit you and mum soon okay, here’s the cash and here’s your cheque.. one last advice for you, “reduce your love for money” that was mums lifestyle..
Take care and take good care of yourself and mother..bye, see you soon.
I booked my ticket back home…
I wasn’t expecting you now Jane, what happend?
I had a fight with dad, each time I see him I always remember everything you’ve told me soo far.. he gave us some money
Ehen mum! He said you cheated first.
Jane, your father is a liar. He should enjoy his life with his wife.. it’s been years without him in my Life and also your life..
I pray you do not make a mistake..
Phone rings,
Hello, what’s up?
I’m fine Jane, can we see?? Right now??
I’m very tired, I’ll see you tomorrow .
Who’s that Jane? My mum asked with a smile on her face.
It’s a guy I just met.. I’ll meet up with him tomorow..
Make sure he gives you money.
Are you telling me to sleep with him?
No Jane..
Mum, guys do not just give you money without sleeping with you.. you give to receive..
Oh! It’s normal Jane.
I can’t do that mum.. Inasmuch as money is good I can’t sell my body for it…
Do not bring a poor man home, if I didn’t marry your father you wouldn’t be enjoying what you’re enjoying now, can you see the amount on that cheque, the goodies you brought home? It was the sacrifice I made till that woman came and took him away from me..
goodnight mum… I have a date tomorow, I heard everything you’ve said soo far.
I’ll be going to my friends place mum, he’ll come pick me there..
Be careful Jane.. bring something back home.
I will mother, trust me..
I met with the new guy I just met, he’s good looking with black hair, broad shoulders and very tall with a nice body..
Hello Jane.. thanks for showing up, where would you want us to hang out?
I think I’d prefer to go the British restaurant. Are you okay with that?
Erm.. scratches head, okay, fine. Let’s go..
We got there , the menu was brought and I ordered the food and drink i want, my order was expensive..
Jane, I know we just met and I like you but, don’t you think this place is too expensive for a start?
I don’t understand, you asked me where I wanted to go, like hang out with you and I decided we come here, you should have picked a place yourself, wait! Were you going to take me to a cheap place?
Emmanuel, can you rate me? I don’t do basics, if you can’t afford my lifestyle then you shouldn’t talk about love okay? I can pay for my food if you cannot afford it..
That’s an insult Jane! Well it’s okay, just eat up let’s go. One thing you must know is you shouldn’t be like this..
Where are we going after here?
My apartment..
Why?
Should we lodge?
I don’t get it, you want to have s*x with me cause you bought me this? Pointing to the food and drink on the table.
It’s obvious you’re after the money..
I haven’t asked you for a penny..
I can actually foot your bills Jane, if it’s just business then let’s do business.. I’ll pay you any amount of money you want and we’ll have sx.. are you in? I’m not in.. just drop me off when we’re done.. you can’t buy me.. you think I owe you my body cause you got me a meal? Yeah, obviously.I think you should refund me everything. Take me to jail Emmanuel, I will do no such thing, all men are same, only one thing all of you want. What do we men want? Sx…
And women wants money.. measuring love by money isn’t love.
If it’s not love then I do not know what else to call it..Money is love Emmanuel.
I liked you when we met but I do not think I can cope with your lifestyle. No man will, you are clouded with the thought of money.. maybe you’ve never been loved.
you’re not capable Emmanuel.. I totally understand..you can’t afford me..
I’m done, we should leave.
You should book a ride home Jane. I’m not dropping you, A man who cannot afford you has a car and you don’t..
I can get a car if I want, if I do, it will be intimidating, and never again call this a car..
I already booked my ride back home, I need more of this food 🍱
I got extra food, I also watch Emmanuel drive out without me after paying.
My ride came and I went home to meet my mother, I couldn’t wait to give her the gist of what happend.
I thought you’re sleeping over.
He left me alone in the restaurant mum.
What happend Jane?
You told me it’s always money first, I took him to a British restaurant, he complained, I guess he noticed I am not cheap.
Did he pay for what you ate?
Yeah, he did.
Wow! He must be rich.
Yeah, he is rich. He wanted me to follow him home so he could take me to bed and pay me any amount I ask tell him.
And…
I rejected his offer.
Why? It’s not as if you’re still pure, you should have let him in and take the money Home.
No mum..
Jane,you need money to maintain yourself and take care of things.
I don’t like Emmanuel. And I can’t go to bed with him.
You don’t need to like him,you need to love his money.
Mum, I haven’t had s*x in a while cause I need to like the person too even if it’s a little.
I loved your father cause of his money, money brings love.
Love cannot you get you good hairs , facial treatments, clothes,just mention them.. love cannot give you all that, money gives you your material things.
Don’t let any man fool you, your father claimed to love me but cheated..
I loved his money and I was still with him till he fucked up.
Whatever you do, your happiness first, and your happiness is money.
A poor man is not happy if he doesn’t have money.
The rich people are still working to earn more, they’re securing their childrens future. You should secure yours as I have secured for you but circumstances cut it short.
It’s your time and your turn to determine if you still want the “so called love” or money,,.
Haven’t you wondered why your siblings are still with their father.
They’re with him cause he’s the one with the money not me..
I hear you mother.
I was alone in my room thinking about everything my mother said to me when my phone rang, it was my friend jennifer (jenny)
Hello twinny, are you coming?
Coming to where?
You love money Jane, we’re going for a party to meet big boys and big men from all over the world.. we’ve been invited
Sooo..
This is your chance to meet with cool, handsome and rich guys..This is not a love affair thing.. are you in for the money?
I’m in..
Episode 3 : First Date (Fake Relationship)
I got dressed told my mother where I am going to ,she gave me her own advice, you know her advice has always been the same..
“ don’t forget to bring a man home with money”.
Jane ,to make it easy for you, start a relationship with a rich guy okay? You can pretend to love him while he spends on us..
Let me get there first.. see ya later.
I went to meet Jenny, she and others were already waiting for me.. none of us had cars so we booked a ride to the venue of the party..
A very big luxurious hotel.
Everywhere was colourful, everyone dressed their best, it is really a night for we ladies.
This one cars are being parked here and more cars are tripping in, do you think this space will contain the cars??
Why are you worried about peoples problem? They’ll sort themselves out..
Omg! I love this car, God please the owner of this car should take me home.. Jenny said.
We meet the rich guys, start a relationship with them and make them spend on us..that’s my motto.
Sounds like your mothers quote.. Jenny laughed out.
But she’s right.
Jane, I’m not here for the love affair thing, one night stand with lots of money is cool, if he eventually likes me he will take my number and we’ll do business.
It is still the same thing Jenny.
It’s not, Jane wants a relationship with a big boy and I don’t.. what even happened between you and Emma’s date?
He wanted us to do business..
Sooo?
I refused.
You should have gotten something now, you’ve fucked up jane. Well another opportunity is here let’s grab it.
We went in, sat down and ordered our drink.
I saw more than I expected, the place was filled with lots of handsome and stinky rich guys..
Some were spraying the dancers money.. others were asking girls out.
The ones with the revealing clothes got more attention.
Guys!
The vibration of the music was really disturbing me as it was too loud..
My friends already met people that offered to pay them for the night.
I refused giving in, I really do not like the one night stand of a thing..
I met a guy that came to me and offered to pay me lots of money, the money was way bigger than the cheque my father gave me.
I wanted to give in, but no.. it’s just a day thing..
I love money ,cool, but I really do not sleep around with people I just met.
Jenny came back to me, showed me her money and said, “we just did it in the restroom” and I am waiting for another catch
Awwwwwn, congratulations.
Jane, are you here for money or love?
I’m here for money but not a one night stand thing. Am I not supposed to know who I am giving my body?
If he likes you he can call you again. Most girls get married to people they meet in a club.
Jenny, allow me, I’m here for the money, atleast I need to establish a relationship first.
Hello! 👋
Hello, Jenny responded to the stranger.
Can I talk to you for a moment? He asked.
Yeah, sure.. Jenny responded .
I’m sorry, I was talking to your friend.. he said pointing at me.
Jenny whispers * Jane, this one smells nice’ he has money follow him.*
I’m Damian.
I’m Jane.
Can we talk outside?
Yeah sure..
We went outside.
You smell nice, I said to him moving closer to him.
Thank you, you smell nice too.
Who invited you here?
My friends. Why?
Nothing really, I’ve been watching you and you’ve been rejecting all the guys that came to you..I was scared of coming close initially.
Oh!
Why were you rejecting them? They didn’t match you? Or they were not offering much?
Damian, I didn’t come here to have s*x with a guy I’m meeting for the first time.
What are you here for?
I came to have fun..I lied.
Okay, let me have your number, I’ll call you tomorrow..
Go back inside you and your friends should take anything you want, I’ll pay.. you can sleep here too, I’ll foot the bills.
Just tell the waitress or the waiter.. Damian said he’ll pay.
Okay, Thank you..
I went back inside and told Jenny and the other girls what he told me.
Jane, you’re lucky.. Jenny said.
I told you.. I know my worth. Guess what.
He took my number.. I’m soo gonna start a fake relationship with him and wreck him.
I signaled the waitress with my fingers and she came.
We began to order expensive food and drinks from the menu, I asked for take away, my mother needs to enjoy too.
I’m sorry ma, who’s paying? The waitress asked.
Damian, , Damian will pay, I said with pride.
Okay, but I need to confirm from him.
There’s no need, he’s coming already.
Sir, you asked….
Yeah, give them anything they want, if they decide to sleep over, tell the house keepers to arrange the suite for them.
He whispered something in the ears of the waitress..
Thank you Damian. I said smiling.
You’re welcome, I’ll see you tomorow .
You’re leaving? Jenny asked.
Yes, I am.. enjoy your stay.. I’ll call you Jane.
Damian left.
I called the waitress and her what he whispered to her?
It’s our private discussion ma.
Who is Damian and where does he work? I asked.
He’s our regular customer and I do not know where he works.
It’s fine.. let’s enjoy ourselves.. tell the house Keeper to arrange the suite.
I am tired of sitting here, let’s go to the room and check everything out.
Wow, this room is soo beautiful, I can actually see the pool from here..
Everything here is beautiful, jane come and see the bathroom..
This Damian of a guy looks like a ritualist .
You speak from jealousy Jenny,
But you know he came to me first.
He wasn’t talking to you, he was talking to me. Let’s not argue I want to sleep.
Phone rings.
Hello, it’s Damian
Oh! Damian.. wasup?
Cool, hope there’s no problem?
No, not at all, we’re fine.
Goodnight.
My mothers advice kept me awake, I had to follow Damian up.
We left the hotel as early as 8am, I got home and gave my mother the things I got for her,
Told her about Damian and how he spends his Money.
You must draw him close Jane. No affection just his money.
His money is the only thing I think about.. he said he’s coming today or tomorow.
Good..let’s expect him then.
Episode 4 : The Beginning of a Complex Relationship
Jane, but do you know Damian is the only person that has done this for you without asking for anything?
Yeah mum, I am surprised as you..
That’s why you do not let him slip off your fingers. Finally you’re going to be a wealthy woman.. is he still coming today?
I have no idea, he said he’ll call me.
Since he hasn’t called you should call him.
No, I don’t wanna seem desperate, he’ll call if he wants to see me..
That day passed and I did not receive any call from him, I still did not call him.. I thought about calling him though due to the pressure my mother was giving me, but, I had to control myself..
I called my father and asked for another money, my mother was using my debit card and most times we quarell about it.
Your mother will wreck you Jane.. hide your debit card from her.
There’s no need for that I’ll just tell her to stop using it.
Mum, I understand you need money but the debit I’ve been receiving lately has become too much, can you reduce the way you use my card please?
I’m sorry Jane but I also need money for the project I’m working on.
You should let me know, I can easily make transfer for you.. I already budgeted what I needed to buy..
Call your friends, the rich ones, they will definitely send you some money..
I can’t call anyone for money..
Call Damian.
I can’t..
Two days passed no call from Damian..On the third day I was with my mother in the living room seeing a movie together when he called.
Mum, Damian is calling…
Finally. She said jumping up with excitement and covering her mouth .
Hello Jane, I’m sorry I haven’t been able to call and see you as promised I’ve been soo busy .
It’s alright!
I’m off today , can we spend some time together??
My mum was whispering in the background.. tell him yes. Tell him yes was the words she kept whispering .
Okay, location??
Give me your home adress I’ll come pick you up now..
I’ll text it to you..bye..
I texted him my address .
Mum, spending time with him means only one thing and you know it.
Jane, do not let your heart fool you, he will give you money, you told me how much he spent on what you and your friends ate, have you forgotten the room you guys slept that night? You better shine your eyes and take your money, I am not asking you to sleep with him.
But mum, that’s what you’ve been trying to say..
Go change your clothes and wait for him to arrive..
Damian called again , he was already outside waiting for me to bring him in.
I brought him in, he met with my mother and they had a little chat.
I guess you’re a very social person..
Hmmm, not really, I just like the connection.. shall we??
Yeah..
Mr Damian, can you help me with some money to buy food?
Mum, please, use my debit card.
It’s okay Jane, take this money ma.. Damian said giving her a huge amount of money.
My mothers eye popped out like she wasn’t expecting such amount of cash.
He took me to another place, A place I’ve never been, the restaurant isn’t your regular restaurant..
We sat down, I ordered for my favorite, it was expensive but I had to.
I said” God has answered my prayers”.
So, what do you do? Just tell me all about you.
I’m planning to be my own boss, I want to own a business, I am single,, my parents are divorced, I grew up with my mother..
Oh! I’m sorry to hear that, my parents are divorced too, my father raised me..life wasn’t easy but I scaled through, and I am single too..
Why are single Jane? Tell me all about it.
My last relationship wasn’t genuine, I had to end it..
Seems we’re on same page.
So why are you single Damian?
Every lady wants money.. they do not put love first, I give when necessary, and when I love a woman I make sure I go extra miles for her, I provide anything, everything to make her comfortable….my previous relationships wasn’t about love anyway, they love money . I just want to be loved.
Most of the girls I’ve met are just after my money, they do not even care if you don’t give them attention, just send them money.
But, Money is also the foundation of a long lasting relationship. I said sipping my drink from my glass 🥤
Money is not stable Jane, money can make you fall into the wrong hands.
Money is not stable, it can come and disappear like the wind, but love doesn’t.
Love disappear too..
It doesn’t…
It does,if it doesn’t then our parents would have still be together.
They didn’t fall out of love, something made them divorce.
Damian, this is a topic for another day..
What’s your ideal man..what do you like?
I love money, my man should be able to provide my needs, i love a man that gives without condition,I love attention, I also want to be loved, haven’t really been loved,, I guess it’s cause I didn’t grow up with my complete family.. what about you?
I love attention too, money is not a must for me, and I do not want my woman to cheat on me cause I do not cheat, I am jealous too.. and I can be crazy.. soo we’re a match?
No. What do you really want? You talked about spending some time with me.
I know what you’re thinking Jane but that’s not why I called you.. I can’t pay you for s*x. I don’t do that..
I was attracted to you days ago, most ladies came for hookup, but I saw the way you rejected all the guys that came for you..
I didn’t reject them cause of anything though, they were trying to persuade me to follow them.. I really do not give myself to guys easily, I know my worth.
They were doing that cause your friend proved them right.. I saw everything that was going on.
You’re not like your friend right? I saw her in the restroom with a random guy .
That’s her fiancé Damian.
It’s not her fiancé, you’re trying to cover up for her, I understand. What friends do.
What were you doing at the club alone?
I went to have fun too..
I think we have to leave now, I got an emergency text. I’ll see you in the evening okay?
Take this money for your time.. and give this to your mother.. let me drop you off.
I was speechless, “finally he has entered the trap I set for him”. My mother will be soo happy.
He dropped me at home and drove off immediately, I handed my mothers money to her.
This is a dream come true Jane.. you’ve met the man I’ve been praying for you to meet.. A man bigger than your father.. now you can tell him to keep his change.
No mum, I still need my fathers money.
So what does he wants?
He wants love.
Then give him love Jane. He has money and he will take good care of us especially you..
Pretend to Love him, don’t be scared to ask.. remember this is a game, no affection till you find the right and perfect man.
I do not believe he is single.. A man with such money has numerous women fooling around him.. he just want to taste you Jane..
This type of man already have someone serious.. so play along with him for his money sake.. you can use him to get a car and other luxury items, travel round the world with me your mother..
I’ll take care of you mummy, he’s coming back in the evening.
Isn’t it right to ask him the kind of job he does.
No need for that Jane, he’ll think you want to rate him with his kind of job.. you’re not interested in his job. You are interested in his money..
I want to visit Jenny I’ll see you later..
What about Damian jane?
We’ll come home together..
Jane, what are doing here?
It’s still my apartment Jenny, I came to talk to you
What’s wrong?
It’s about my mother.
What about her?
The way she talks about money all the time is something else.
Damian came to visit me and she begged him for money, I was ashamed,
Damian gave her?
Yeah, without hesitating, then we went out and he gave me money for myself and my mother..
Isn’t it money you want?
It is but..
But what jane?
I’ll break his heart, I’m just after his money, and we’ve not started any relationship he is already giving without me asking..
Jenny.. I am scared..
Then, don’t listen to your mother’ I am even surprised a mother advices her daughter to follow money..
You’re not a saint babe.
I know I do hookups and you don’t, but my mother will never advice me to follow a man for his money, she will freak out and disown me if she eventually find out the type of life I am living.
You’ve never really loved a man, that’s why you always have short term relationships.
This money thing has eaten you up.. had it been my fiancé is rich I wouldn’t be doing this .
But you, your father is rich and rich guys come for you all the time, your love for money is chasing them away..
Jenny, I’ll just play along with Damian.
Jane, you were not listening to me?
I heard all you said, one thing is for sure, my mother wants the best for me..
I feel she wants me to acquire properties, you cannot tell if Damian will be faithful…
Girls love rich guys and Damian will not control himself, he will always have lots of girlfriends..
In order words let me enjoy his money while it lasts.. in few hours time he’ll be here.
I’ll follow you this time… it’s already evening..which means Damian will be here soon.
I and Jenny kept talking, she was telling me how she had a twosome last night.
I laughed soo hard.. I can’t imagine myself doing that.
Jane, I need the money to sort out some bills.
You were advising me few minutes ago, Jenny you’re worse. You see, that’s why I do not bring myself soo low when choosing a partner.
There are some things you have to consider when choosing a partner..
If he doesn’t have money do not accept him, if you do and he doesn’t meet up your expectations you’ll start cheating on him and start having s*x for money. That’s what you’re doing right now Jenny .
My mother is still right, “get the rich guy and secure your future”..
What if you see someone richer than Damian?
I’ll still be with him, and follow the one that’s more wealthy.
That’s cheating too Jane. *laughs*.
I said to Jenny smiling and picking up my phone “Damian is calling””.
Hello Jane.. where are you?
I’m with my friend, are you free now?
Yeah. I am.. I’ll book a ride from my end to where you are, text me your location.
Can I come with my friend?
Of course you can.. just text your location..
Omg! Jane this Damian guy is very serious .
At least my mothers advice is paying off.. I know my worth Jenny.
Episode 5 : Balancing Expectations and Emotions
We got to where Damian is, unfortunately he was with a friend..
It was a fun filled day.. we played games together, ate together, I felt loved for a moment..
The connection we had was more than a chemistry, but I didn’t sign up for this..
I thought he was making me fall for him..
Can we swim together?? His friend said.
Oh yea, why not..let’s have fun..
Jennifer was busy enjoying herself and making eye contact with Damian’s friend..
Tell your friend not to do that jane, this guy is married… Damian whispered to me..
We got into the pool, the bikini 👙 I wore was too revealing, I liked it..
People are here jane, you should have taken another bikini..
The way he held me on the pool was lovely.. Damian kept pouring water on my body.. When I asked why he kept doing that he said “ I love it when the water is dripping from your back downwards”.
That’s crazy you know..
Not as crazy as you think…I like you Jane..
I like you too Damian..
Is there anything you want me to do for you??
Erm, yeah, I want soo many things..
Jane, when are we leaving.. ? Jenny asked.
Anytime I get tired of staying.. I answered holding Damian’s hands.
“God please I don’t want to fall in love with this guy” I said to myself.
We spent more hours having fun, finally we decided to go home.. .. Damian asked for my account details which I sent to him and he transferred some money to me. He always says “it’s an appreciation for your time”” thanks for coming Jane..
And Jenny, this is for you…
Thank you Damain…
Thank you too Jenny for coming around.
Thanks for having us Damian..you can drop us at Jenny’s place..
Why? I thought you’re going home.
It’s already late, let me sleep over with Jenny, I’ll call my mother.
We got to home(Jenny’s place) and you know girls, always want to talk about the day.
I think Damian likes you, he is a nice person..
I know right, I like him too honestly.
What?? You like Damian jane.. how?
It’s not what you think Jenny, I like the fact that he spends his money on me.. you know, he even asked me to tell him what I want him to do for me..
What did you say?
I told him I want many things..
So what’s your plan now??
No plan, just play along with him,, let’s sleep..
The next morning I got home..
My mother was excited about the money,
Has he asked you out yet?
No mum, he hasn’t..
Soon he will and when he ask you out just say yes, don’t hesitate.
It will be suspicious, he already told me his previous relationship ended cause all the girls he dated never loved him but his money..
Money makes the world go around… we’re talking about your future..
But mom, you loved my father cause of his money and It didn’t end well.. I don’t want to make such mistake, I think I need someone who would love me even with the money..
I need to feel what love is all about, I have no idea what it means and how it feels to love someone.
Why are you talking like someone that had s*x last night.
Mum, stop saying all this.. it was a harmless hangout.. I don’t want to break anybodys heart..
Jane, your heart is beginning to play trick with you.. do you think damain loves you? He doesn’t, he is giving you money cause he is trying to impress you.. that’s why you need to benefit from him before he calls it a quit.
I am not saying he loves me, I am only trying to say I need someone to love me and I also want to love the person too.
It is only God that can love you genuinely Jane.. true love doesn’t exist,, don’t be fooled .
If your father can abandon you then who is damain?
Stop hoping to find love cause you’ll never find love.. look for money..
I love you as my daughter and I want the best for you okay? I’ll tell you what to do..
No affection, No love.. stick to the plan Jane.. Men are worthless, your fathers action should be a factor to consider about men..
Say yes to Damain and make him build an empire for you.. if you do not stick to the plan I’ll send you to your fathers place.. I think his wife will raise you.
I hear you mum..
I kept my eyes glued on my phone waiting and expecting Damian’s call, but all to no avail…
Isn’t he supposed to call me??
If he hasn’t called, you can call him, he is your friend too.. my inner voice said to me.
Another voice said” don’t call him, he’ll call you, you’re a woman so have some dignity”
Well, I listened to the second voice as I did not call him..
Almost a week, no call from him.. I got tired… I picked up my phone about to dial his number when his call came in..
Are you home Jane? He asked.
I am..
I’m driving in already..
Mummy, mummy, Damain is here..
Is that why you’re smiling?? Compose yourself silly girl..
Damain, where have you been? My daughter’s been day dreaming about you.
Really?
It’s not true Damain..
Well, I’ve been soo busy with work, I barely have time for myself…
I understand you…
can we go outside,? There’s something I want to tell you. Damain said
We went outside, he opened his car for me and drove me off to a restaurant..
Would you want to love again?
I’ve never been loved before..
Jane, I .. I really like you.. I’d want us to start something together please..
I don’t understand Damain.
I mean, I love you and I want to build with you, I want us to start a relationship..
Damain, I’m not ready for that now, I’ll break your heart.
You’re joking right?
Yeah, I am.. I am joking..
Soo tell me.. LOVE OR MONEY?
LOVE.. I think I’m ready to give it a shot..
So is that a yes from you??
It’s a yes from me…
I got home and told my mother I accepted Damian’s proposal.
Our relationship started.
