#diary of a bitch

**********

Kelvin untied my hands and gave me water,he did it very gently,I would have loved this man if all this didn't have to happen, I remembered all the lovely things we shared, but unfortunately, it was all an act...I remembered the night it all began, I remembered the night I was raped,it would have been the happiest day of my life,but it turned out to be the opposite, I stared at who I used to adore, and I hated myself for being cheap,I didn't know if I should believe him or not

Kelvin: according to what Susan told me, it all started precisely thirty three years ago,Susan was a teenager when she met Edward, they met in the university, Edward was in his final year while Susan was a fresher, sooner than later their love story started, so much so that Susan happily gave away I'llher virtue to Eddy, and like other love stories,there came a twist...Susan became pregnant, he stood by her though because he promised he'll never be a part of abortion, when Susan's strict parents found out, they disowned her immediately,Eddy's parents did the same,so Susan had to drop out but luckily for them,Eddy graduated before they got into the whole mess... With great difficulty, Eddy got a job as an accountant in a good company with a Sizable salary, things started to look less difficult, they rented a small apartment, had a small company car and had a kid,so they were comfortable as a family,even Susan started to run a petty business, everything was good, so Susan forgot the fact that they weren't legally married, she gave birth to two more lovely sons to a man she loved but wasn't married to,then Eddy came home from work one day with a shocker

****

Susan: welcome honey,how was work today,you don't look happy to me,is it stress

Edward: I got sacked

And that was the beginning of their plight, within a week everything went haywire, food shortage, rent due,school fees,cooperation money,everything, then eddy fessed up to his wife.....sorry to his baby mama,he would be retained if he agrees to date the boss's daughter, at that point Susan didn't mind,she only wanted everything to go back to normal and if that's what it takes then she's ready to make the sacrifice... He got back his job,with a better car and a nicer apartment, but he didn't move there with his family, he moved there alone so the boss's daughter would have the impression that he's single, everything happened accordingly, more money came in for Susan so she was happy then another shocker surfaced,the boss wanted his daughter to get married to Eddy, he would have all the riches and fortune meant for his daughter,he sold the idea Susan, she didn't agree at first but greed made her say yes,after all she wanted a good life for her kids,so months later,she watched the man she bore her children for got married to another woman right before her eyes,she struggled with tears as she saw the moment she had always craved for stolen from her,afterwards she got close to his wife,really close,you'd even mistake them for sisters, and it shattered her to pieces when she got to know that they were going to have a baby,Eddy wasn't even the one who broke the news to her,it was his wife...and she was 3months gone

When she confronted Eddy he told her a smart story that his boss wouldn't handover anything until his wife becomes a mother and produces a heir,so she couldn't fight back, she was helpless she had no one to turn to,she was broken and nobody was there to console her,so she plotted revenge,she helped her "friend" Eddy's wife in her first few months of motherhood, she loved the baby,it was a girl,the baby was even attached to her than her mother,so her mother employed her as a Nanny,she had always wanted a baby girl so she took care of the little boy like her very own child,a year later she overheard a phone conversation between Eddy's wife and her lawyer,she had put all her fortune and inheritance in Susan's name till the baby grows up,because she suspects that Eddy just got married to her for the money and maybe he has s family somewhere,and she trusted that Becky would take care of her baby after her demise,little did she know that she's giving it all to her husband's mistress, she ended the call on the note that she'll make sure he gets nothing at her death

She turned to see Susan,and had no choice but to explain to her that she had a terminal disease and will die really soon,she made Susan promise to take care of her baby. Afterwards Susan pushed her, sending her down to death,she didn't want her to live and find out she was the mistress and change her will so she did what she had to do

That baby is Viviana -you

And that woman that was killed is your mother
