After three days, since Grace gave her beloved boyfriend money, she started getting worried. Jackson had promised her that he would return the money after two days but he hadn’t paid her back and it was the third day already. When she called him he did not answer or return her calls. That’s when she thought that something was wrong and she decided to go to his house.

When she got there, the gates and the door weren’t locked. She opened the door and found a woman’s underwear on the floor. She went upstairs to his bedroom to see what was going on and sadly she found her boyfriend in bed with another woman.

She almost had a heart attack after finding her one and only boyfriend in bed with another woman. When she tried confronting him about that woman and when he was going to pay her money back, Jackson kicked her out and told her to never ever come back to his house ever again. If you could have seen how he kicked her out, you would cry. He chased her out like a dog caught trying to steal. He even told her that he never loved her and does not want to see her ever again.

Poor Grace had no words. All she ever did was cry until she got to where she was staying. She was miserable and the pain was too much for her. She cried like a new born baby who was sick. She did not know what to do. She wanted to kill herself and she felt so stupid and useless for trusting a man again. She was angry at herself for letting a man make her a fool again. But above all that; she was heartbroken because not only did she lose someone she loved, she also lost the money she worked hard for and she would never get it back. Poor Grace was really in pain and did not know what to do to stop the pain.

This was really hard for her, she prayed everyday asking God what had she ever done to deserve that kind of pain. How can every man she met tend to use and hurt her? She even struggled to sleep. She even remembered when her friends tried to warn her but she did not listen to them. She wished to turn back the time and change everything. She regretted meeting Jackson but he also taught her a lesson that when you meet someone, do not rush things. Just take your time to get to know them better, let them show you who they really are.

As they all say: time heals everything. Grace spent two years without being with a man (I guess she wanted to take a long break). She was fully healed and had forgotten about those men who hurt her. She was no longer interested in men, she was unable to love because the men she met after her two failed relationships did not make her want to be in a relationship again. So after two years of being single she met another guy again, his name was Elton. She thought he was different from the others but yet again, she was wrong.

While she was on a lunch break she told herself that the man she was going to meet was the one who would marry her after everything she went through.

“God cannot throw all useless men to me. I have a feeling that Elton is the one,” she said.

Tell us what you think: What do you think is Grace’s problem? Are men that devious or is she refusing to learn?
