Her best friend was a very beautiful woman
The type whose iconic beauty was grudgingly acknowledged by other ladies
She didnt let the looks get into her head
She was easily the most beautiful girl on campus when they were in school
Beauty desires to be possessed by many for different reasons
For some of the men just boasting that they were wooing her was a feather in their cap
Her friend was cordial to all the men who showed interest in her
She had a good eye for
They were on holidays when her best friend called her up and told her about a guy
Her best friend said the guy was a great guy
Her best friend said the guy asked her to introduce him to a good lady with whom he can build a life
Would she be interested?
She really didn't fancy the idea of dating one of her friend's admirers but she didnt want to seem snobbish
Findig herself in a tight corner, she agreed to a date!
He invited her to his school's departmental dinner at a golf course in Osun State
Everything turned when the organizers started doling out awards
He won everything
Mr Brain!
Most sought after
Problem solver
Egg head
Paper tiger
Mr Selfless
He was also voted "First to become a SAN' by his colleagues
Wow!
She was swept off her feet
He was humble, willing to share the stage, grateful and even cried at a point!
She forgot all about her reservation
Her friend had offered her a gold mine
After that night, he took her out on two more dates before asking her formally to be his woman
She accepted!
He graduated that year and went off to law school
She still had a year of schooling to do
As predicted, he was destined for a golden future
The stars lined up
The wedding was glorious
They had their first child within a year of getting married
He started his chambers
She also became a chartered accountant and landed a good job at a top firm
Her husband went to Florida for a conference
It was a three weeks event
They had video calls daily
He was always mindful of his family
Focused and dedicated
He returned with gifts
He told her he met her best friend
Life has not been kind to her
She had someone gotten into drugs recreationally and gotten hooked on heroine
She was a shadow of herself
She was broken and battered
She slept with all sorts of men just to have a decent meal and a roof over her head
It was horrible
They did
They sent some money and helped her get into rehabilitation
They called her daily
Helped her through the tough time
She mended
Her husband also made some calls and got her best friend a job
Something to keep body and soul together
The firm in California invited him again
He took time out to see her friend
He returned a changed man
Suddenly he stopped paying attention to the things that used to matter
He started travelling more frequently
She didn't pay attention
She waited in vain for his usual "I have arrived safely message"
She called his number
It was switched off
She assumed something had happened
She called her best friend's number
It was also switched off
She called and called
She didnt mention that she was his wife
She said she just wanted to know if he would be speaking at their event
The receptionist put her through to another lawyer
She was told he was not scheduled to speak at their event for that year
She called the family that her husband discussed with to get her best friend a job!
They informed her that her best friend had resigned and gone off to Vegas to get married!
It was as she suspected!
She just knew something was off!
She reached out to
My husband is getting married to my best friend in Las Vegas
He had been acting strange but I paid it no attention
The marriage was supposed to hold in three days
I have made calls and gotten all the details
Please! God should not let this happen
Perhaps it was the lack of sleep due to worry and detective duty over the last few days
She dozed off!
She saw her husband, wearing a feminine waistbead on his neck like a noose
Walking, no, wandering and stumbling through a fog!
She woke up drenched in cold sweat!
"This is what I saw
I believe he had been enchanted!
I want him free today!
Once the wedding is done, it becomes another matter!"
They prayed again
After the prayer, she picked her phone and called her best friend's mother and father!
She told them she had pictures, embarrassing pictures of their daughter as a prostitute in Florida, pictures of their daughter on drugs, evidence of payment for rehabilitation etc
(She said it was the only play she believed she had!)
He was as mad as a hatter!
He just rambled and cursed and vented
She kept her cool!
The wedding didnt hold!
Her friend somehow got a call from home and relapsed into drug use
She overdosed and was returned to rehab!
Her husband returned
He just kept to himself
She gave him his space too
She was hurt and felt heavily betrayed!
Eventually, he came to ask her for forgiveness
She invited the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt to their home the next day
She just wanted him to pray for them
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt led him to Christ
He got filled with the Holy Spirit
His eyes became as clear as day!
The one's peddled on the internet by demonic agents selling enchanted waistbeads, powders, rings and so on to hopeless ladies aiming to enslave men rather than find love
As intelligent as he was he had no resistance
You need Jesus!
