When he remained silent, I resorted to threats.
"If you don't tell me the truth, Tobi, I swear that I will hate you, for as long as I live. I will fucking hate you, do you understand?" I hissed.
That seemed to do it. My threat brought him out of his silence, forcing him to speak up.
"Okay, fine! The truth is... I never felt love for you, Chisom. Yes, I liked you, but it wasn't love. It was mostly lust," He said, sounding withdrawn.
"Wh-what?" I blubbered as my eyes brimmed with tears.
I hung up the phone immediately I noticed a sob rising in my throat.
I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of hearing me cry.
I wouldn't further humiliate myself by letting him hear me cry.
First, he said I was bad luck and now, when I demanded the truth, he told me that he never loved me?
What the hell was wrong with me?
