Chapter 159
159 Yellow’s story (2)
“1 grew up in a family where boys were loved. One day, I killed my cousin brother who had been taking
advantage of me for years. My family knew he was sexually abusing me but no one did or said
anything. They said he was the breadwinner of the family and for that, I have to sacrifice myself. I got
pregnant for him a few times, but each time, my mom terminates the pregnancy. 1
My other rtives insulted me and called me names, saying I was the one seducing my older cousin.
The secret was revealed to everyone in ourmunity by my older cousin’s girlfriend and I became a
laughingstock, still, no one did anything.
One day, I grew tired of living and wanted to end my life but then, I saw your husband in a rare
interview. He said some words but the only thing I remembered was him saying; “ruin he who annoys
you instead of ruining yourself.”
After that, I returned home and waited until he had gone to sleep after he had his way with me again,
then killed him. After I killed him, my family no longer had a backbone to stand against other families
that had their eyes on our properties, so my grandfather sent me to a Don. The guy said he wanted me
as an exchange for the loan my older cousin brother took. Nobody stopped my grandfather…”
“What about your mom?” Jeslyn felt sad hearing her story.
“She had no power over anything. She was just like them, only cared about my brothers… I ran away
from the Don who made it apulsory task to have my body daily but he still found me…”
“How old were you?”
“16.” 1
“That’s…”
“Little bunny, don’t pity me. Some people in Country M have it worse. My life is considered good
because I met Pink when I was seventeen. We met at a club where Don wanted to trade me for a
business deal. I had no idea at first, so when Don’s business partner was touching me inappropriately, I
pped him. The man then said he liked fierce girls and wanted to ruin me in the
of presence everyone. As he was tearing off my dress with the intention of having his way with me right
there and then, Pink burst the door open and without a word or second wasted, she opened fire at
everyone. She killed them all and turned around to leave but I begged her to help me and she did.”
“Wow,” Jeslyn felt like crying but remembered that Yellow had told her not to pity her. Again, she wasn’t
telling the story like it was hers.
“Little bunny, we are here.”
Yellow stopped the car and waited for Jeslyn to get down before she drove off. Instead of going home,
she drove out of the Estate and went straight to an underground club.
She entered a boot and sat on a couch, then she brought out a pack of cigarettes and lighter.
She took out a stick of cigarette and was about to light it when her mind shed.
“You said you won’t smoke anymore, what are you doing? Is your past haunting you?”
Yellow sighed and broke the cigarette into two, just in time for a waiter to walk in with a tray of drink.
Why did she tell Jeslyn all that?It was to remind her that there was no good person in Country M.
Everyone only cares about themselves and wouldn’t mind sacrificing their family for their own good.
She hopes that Jeslyn would remember this story when she finds out the mistake Maverick had made.
Meanwhile, Jeslyn’s phone kept beeping with new messages as she talked to her friends.
“What’s going on? Who is messaging you so much? Why don’t you just reply to make them stop?”
Lolita asked.
“Don’t bother, it’s some nuisance.”
“Then block them.” Ruben chimed in.
“Have you checked your Email? Teacher sent a list ofpanies that we should sign with.” Lolita said.
“Oh? Let me see,” Jeslyn opened her mail and saw the message. After going through it, she smiled. “I
will go with this newpany… Fearless entertainment.” Jeslyn smiled.
“That’s my pick too…. Why didn’t you choose sparkle or Velvet entertainment? Those two are the top
entertainment in the world.” Lolita asked.
“I’m not interested in unhealthypetition with fellow artists. Sparkle entertainment was Ms.
Celestine’spany. Although they didn’t treat her badly, there are too many hungry wolves there. As
for Velvet entertainment, they are known for overworking their artists and using underhanded means to
get rid of artists they are tired of.”
“That’s true, I didn’t think too deeply like you but I did think that starting with a newpany might get
me more opportunities because thepany would really put in their all to groom me and secondly,
once thepany grows bigger, I will be recognised as the foremother of thepany. Am I not
brilliant?” Lolita beamed.
“Of course,” Ruben sneered.
“Do your face like that again and see how I redesign it with a p,” Lolita dared.
“Go fight outside. I need to practice my notes before Ms Celestine arrives.” Jeslyn shooed Lolita out of
her seat before sitting down.
“By the way, Rossa, where do you go? I kept calling you all throughst week. Your response was even

weirder.”
“M- me too. You read my messages but didn’t respond.”
Jeslyn didn’t look at them but she answered; “let’s just say, I was overwhelmed by the…”
“Your problems!” Lolita interrupted her. “You were thinking about your problems that you isted
yourself and didn’t want to rte with anyone… I understand. I feel that way sometimes too.”
“You are right. That’s what happened.” Jeslyn smiled.
However, Ruben was thoughtful. He wanted to tell Jeslyn what happened at the Karaoke but couldn’t
voice it out, so he stayed silent.
A whileter, Celestine walked into the ss.
“Good morning,” she greeted and they responded.
“Aboutst week, something urgent came up, so we bad to skipst week. Hope you all saw the mail?”
Seeing them nodding, she continued; “whatpanies did you choose?”
The students all responded. They all chose samepany.
“You made a weird choice, but that’s fine. If you can raise thepany, then it’s excellent. But it will
take time. That’s that. As for the party, it’s happening tomorrow night, so make sure you are all ready
and rock the dresses you choose.”
