Steemit Challenge S26-w6 : Two-timing
John was very comfortable when he saw a beautiful lady sitting beside him, so he looked into the young lady's eyes and thought, 'Wow.' John began to introduce himself to her, telling her his name as well as where he came from, which involved taking a bus. The girl smiled at him with pleasant eyes, welcoming him and introducing herself as Tina.
She began the conversation by telling him, 'Has anyone told you how beautiful you are? If not, I am the first person to say it.' The lady smiled. During that moment, they discussed various topics about life, including her educational career and her family.
As a young boy who likes good things, he asked for her number, but the lady refused, saying she didn't like to give her phone number to strangers. As she was about to leave, she gave it a second thought and handed him her card in order to enjoy this beautiful moment together again. Then the bus stopped, and the lady moved to her destination.
John notified the driver to stop the bus as he had reached his final destination. He took out all the luggage from the bus and stopped a cab to take him to the nearest hotel since he was there for 3 weeks conference organized in the town. He successfully booked a nice room and moved his luggage to the room. During the night, he could not sleep and was always thinking about Tina and the beautiful moments they shared together.
He called her to express how much he missed her, and the lady smiled. They both fixed an appointment at an exact location. When John reached the location, he noticed five bodyguards escorting her to the place. John believed without having second thoughts that Tina was from a rich family.
They chatted for about two hours before everyone departed to attend to some urgent matters. John, who was a poor man always looking for an opportunity to escape poverty, did not tell Tina that he was married with kids. Their relationship became stronger, and Tina continued to have affection towards John.
In two weeks' time, John asked Tina to send him 50 million naira that he wanted to use for a business from which she would make a profit, and he told her the month he would repay the money to her. Tina asked her father to lend her the money, assuring him that she would repay it back in the next six months. Her father loved her and sent her the money. When John received the money, he ran away to meet his wife and children.
When it was time to repay the money, John was nowhere to be found. She reported to the police station, where they tracked his number, and John was officially arrested at his wife's house. When Tina found out that he already had a wife and a child, she fainted and rushed to the hospital.
The court ordered John to pay a large amount of money to bail himself out or spend five years in prison. Since John did not have any money left, and the money he fraudulently collected had been seized, John had no options but to go to jail.

Dear @, here is the detailed assessment of your submission:
Your story was okay as thriller but deviated a little too much from the contest prompt.
Your story was centered around business deal rather than based on prompt's basic idea.
