Why is such existing? He asked rhetorically looking
at his old ceiling fan rotating sluggishly, He couldn't comprehend his current situation, He couldn't understand the reason for his predicament.
He was a king in his own mansion, parked in his
garage were different exotic cars, Is it the respect
he earned from giving a helping hand to others, is it
the huge sum of money he pays to his employees as
salary, is it the calmness in him, He's got everything, He possesses all what his generation and generations to come will enjoy even without them getting to do any job.
Jason was born 30 years ago to a very wealthy parents, He was the only son of his parents, all the love and care of the world was showered on him. He
was loved not only by his parents but by everybody
who knows him. There's something triggering this love
towards him; as wealthy as his parents are, you can't find him stepping on others or misbehaving, He wasn't a
spoilt child, He will always make people understand not all child from a wealthy home is a spoilt brat.

Jason sat down staring at her, He gazed passionately at her beautiful countenance, his ability to be aware of things and to think and reason brought forth an erotic thoughts, He was willing to have her instantly, she lay horizontally on her mattress with her both legs vertically placed on her cupboard, she noticed David staring at her, "it is better you take your mind off that, it won't do you any good but leave you in trauma" she said jokingly. He smiled broadly and moved over to her side pretending not to have heard what she said. He lay on her back using his tongue to lick her ears romantically, she turned around facing him, her heart was craving for that French kiss, "what are you waiting for?" She said, he smiled and gave her a hot kiss, rolling and biting her tongue passionately with his. They were undressing themselves when a sudden bang was heard at the door, Jason felt like the world is going to end, "who is that again" she pushed him away and stood, getting
dressed and heading straight to the door.

Jason was a 300 level student of literature in Afe
Babalola University when he met Kate, it was at the school library, Kate had come to look for a particular reference book to back up her team explanation on a particular term paper given to them by one of their lecturers.
On sighting Kate, He couldn't concentrate anymore, no girl on campus has ever turn him on like this one, is it the beautiful countenance, is it the majestic footsteps, is it the beautiful dress she was putting on, she's got
everything. Jason's friend were getting sick of him, "if you really need her then go to her" one of them said. He stood, walking towards her like a king "He's got this charming smile and good physique you love, just look at him, he's the perfect guy for you" This thoughts were running to and fro in her head.
" Hi, I am Jason, a 300 level student of literature
and you are", "Kate, a 200 level student of fine art" she turned around looking closely at the books in the shelves. "Yes, I found it", "found what" Jason said, she turned around smiling looking at his face "I found the reference book we are to use on a term paper".
Jason was astonished, he was in love, just look at her
smile, killer smile, a smile that could bring the universe to obey her command, he finally met someone whose smile is more killing than his, he can't just afford to lose her. "Can I be your friend?" he asked looking closely at her cleavage, "of course you can Mr. Jason" she said packing her bag.

Two weeks had passed since they met, the whole student on campus have heard about Jason's new girlfriend, A rich gentleman and a beautiful young lady is the talk on campus, Jason would flaunt her always and so does she, they were perfect, very perfect for each other.


Jason, who was still standing, feeling very sad, wouldn't afford to lose his cleaning job at a nearby hotel, He took his cup and spoon, pouring into the cup the rain water he had gotten from a heavy rainfall last night. He opened his cupboard located beside his bed, out of it he brought out a black nylon containing the cassava flakes he had bought from a neighbouring provision shop, he poured the cassava flakes into the cup of water and drank it like he has not eaten for the past thirty days.
"Good morning sir" Jason said, greeting the manager of the hotel who is a tall dark bearded man in his late fifties, "Thank God you came early today, get to work"


Her love for him is increasing day by day, their love
story remains the trending topic radiating the school
campus. Jason was preparing to graduate, he couldn't
afford to lose Kate, how could their love end here, how is he going to manage his life without Kate by his side, He decided to give Kate a surprise visit.
Kate, who was listening to music using her headphone
happen to hear a loud bang at her door, she could hear it because she had reduces the volume of her headphone. "Who is it" she said while heading towards the door, on opening the door, she came in contact with a beautiful smile on a very handsome face. "Jason, I am not expecting you here today, hope all is well" without minding what she had said, he kissed her on the forehead and headed straight to her bed, he jumped and landed on her mattress.
"What do you have, I am very hungry" she headed for the kitchen and brought him the remaining fried rice she cooked in the morning. "So why this surprise visit?" Kate said stretching her hands towards his cup of fruit juice, "I am actually not happy, I think I can't live without you by my side" she smiled and said to him "don't worry, my heart belongs to you alone".
Jason was very scared he might lose Kate, so he asked her to take a love covenant with him, without thinking twice, she agreed. They took a love covenant promising not to marry another person neither will they fall in love with another person staking their lives on it.


Jason, been a graduate now manages one of his father's
company, his kind heart and generosity has really gone a long way in winning contracts for the company through the employees. They have been working harder to keep Jason very close to them.

Jason was busy washing the car of the manager when a range rover sport drove into the hotel compound, his
kind of range rover he once had. "Madam, you're welcome ma" the manager said smiling broadly at her,
"I want to hold a meeting with you and all those
working here" she said.
Such an angelic voices, one wouldn't forget easily, there's one person in the world who has such voice, "Kate!" Jason yelled, with tears rolling down his cheek, "who are you calling Kate, she's our madam here, the owner of this hotel, apply some respect man" The manager said to Jason. Kate couldn't believed her eyes, she couldn't understand what is really happening. "Manager, cancel the meeting, I need to talk to this guy" she said with her eyes filled with tears.


One major problem he normally encounter is issue of
seduction from his female employees, it is becoming too much that he couldn't resist any longer. He hasn't seen Kate for three years now, her phone number is no longer going through, he can't hold himself any longer, he really want to get laid.
It happened on his bed that look just like a royal
chamber, he got laid for two hours non-stop. Shortly
after the done deed, he felt as if he's no more complete, he felt something tangible has been taken out from his body and soul.
Two months had passed, his parents were sick. the ordered goods from abroad which was transported on a
ship sank deep into the sea, on hearing the news, his
father collapsed and was struck with a stroke, his mum who couldn't help the situation fell sick.
Debts came calling, they had to sell their property to
settle all debts, Jason been the only child had to
take care of his sick parents from the money he got
after selling most of his father's property, everything was becoming worst.
He was in deep thoughts when his phone rang, it was
the doctor taking care of his parents, he rushed to the hospital only to be informed about the death of his parents, he was so bitter.

"So all this happened!" Kate said, she feel very sad
and bad. "We relocated to Ghana and that has automatically get my phone number changed, I lost all my contact including yours" she hold his hands and asked "Do you have a girlfriend?" He answered and said "no" feeling very devastated. "Did you had sex or fall in love with anyone after you left school?" "Yes I did".
Ohh!! He remembered, it rang in his head, the love
covenant they took, it was his decision, how could he
have forgotten such thing.
"That is it Jason, I kept to my words because I know
the gravity of the love covenant we took, remember
we staked our lives, I had hope I'll find you again
but you, what did you do?
You're the cause of your predicament Jason, You're the murderer of your parents, you are the cause of your fall, the fall that has brought you down to my hotel to be a cleaner". She was heartbroken and bitter.

Jason couldn't utter a word, he cursed the day he got
laid, that laid had cause his fall, he cursed himself,
he felt like giving up the ghost, maybe all his
predicament has been exchanged with his life, maybe
he was given another grace to live.

THE END.
