Chapter 2 SUICIDE NOTE

"Dear mother, you'll always be my heartbeat. And I love daddy even if he doesn't give me any attention. I really miss all those moments we shared but Prince was a whole new love to me."

"Who is Prince?" Her mother asked facing her husband.

"That should be the murderer who took my daughter's life in the name of love." Rose's father was red with tears welling up."

"Hmmm, it'll not be well with him." His wife cursed as they continued reading in grief.

"Prince made me feel like a woman. Though scared to disappoint you because I was brought up by a godly mother and a nonchalant father, I had my first kiss and sex with him in his car.

I was deflowered and wanted to tell you about it, but was scared I might hurt you. We were besties and I wanted it to last that way.

After some days, I discovered I was pregnant. I told Prince about it, which he advised me to abort it. I was scared but the fear of facing you with a protruding shame wasn't in my diary.

You were my gold, but somehow I felt I had gone astray with my pretty boy. I kept my relationship with him a secret because it was the poison I enjoyed taking. I was encouraged to have series of abortions in high school until when the doctor told me that I may never be able to conceive a child again if I did the last abortion.

I made up my mind to tell you about it, but Prince discouraged me. He had his way around me as the most sought-after boy in high school. I wanted him badly and did bad things only for him. I told him about the doctor's warning concerning my frequent abortions and he promised we'd stop unprotected sex.

But during his birthday, he damn wanted to fuck me and he never liked using a condom. He was in the heat already and I didn't want to spoil his birthday. He fucked me that night and nut in me with joy. I later discovered I was pregnant. The naive me didn't know he only wanted to use and dump me.

He told me he would marry me and give me so much happiness. I wanted to introduce him to you as my suitor when the time comes. Prince assured me that he would take me to the best doctor and after abortion; I'd still have my womb.

But my leaf left its branch and my kingdom collapsed when the doctor told me that I might never carry a baby in my womb again. Prince cried along with me only to tell all his friends about my misdeeds. I was the mockery of my class as he openly said in class that he couldn't marry his grandma.

I would've committed suicide in high school or the forest but there's no place like home. And I know Dad would judge me very badly and I didn't want to rent our bond apart. Prince traveled overseas to further his studies and abandoned me with great shame in high school. I became an open wound.

Mother, please forgive me. Dad, please still love me as your daughter. I'm sorry to leave you like this."

Grief forced tears from her parents feeble eyes as they wanted to know more about this Prince. They started raining curses on him wherever he was and wishing the same fate for every woman that came from him.

Rose's parents took the story of her death to the media and it spread like wildfire. It was the top of every headline. There was hardly anyone who would say he/she wasn't aware of her story.
