LOVE IS BLIND (EPISODE 1)

[edited with inshot application]

Richard, a young man, found himself in a tough situation when his father did not show up. It all started with a small, impulsive lie he told after just joining a new school.

“Baby, I’ll get you the iPhone 16. Just give me two weeks.” Those few words set off a series of events that would change his life forever.

Precious was incredibly beautiful—far too alluring for someone like Richard. With her long lashes, captivating shape, and confidence fueled by ambition, she drew everyone's attention.

After months of pursuing her, she finally agreed to date Richard, but only with conditions. He was required to dress well, wear costly colognes, and, most importantly, maintain her social media image. She insisted on regular photos, outings, gifts, and now, the latest iPhone.

“I can’t keep using this old model,” she declared, tossing her iPhone 14 onto the bed in frustration. “Oluchi has the 16, and she's not even that pretty. What are you good for if you can’t provide for me?”

That night, Richard couldn't sleep. His low-paying job at the printing shop barely supported him, and now the woman he loved was threatening to leave him over a phone. He tried to reason with her, but she was already ready to leave.

Then, his friend Daniel called.

“Hey, I know some wealthy people who will pay a lot if you bring someone.” Richard's heart raced as he understood Daniel's implication—it wasn’t about just anyone; it was a disturbing trade—blood for money.

Initially, Richard laughed off the idea. But as the days passed, the pressure mounted. He pleaded with Precious for more time. “Just wait a little longer, please,” he begged.

She stared him down and said, “I won’t be with someone who can't provide. Don’t reach out until you have that phone.”

With that, she blocked him.

Richard was devastated.

He watched his mother in their small kitchen, making ogbono soup. She was the one who raised him after his father passed, taking out loans to support his education. She had once said, “If I ever become a burden to you, end my life, so I don’t suffer in vain.”

He hadn’t meant to remember those words, but they rushed back to him.

He told her he had found a job in another city with a reputable company paying well. Tears of joy filled her eyes as she packed his bag with food and blessed him during their farewell.

When they reached the shrine in the forest and the priest asked, “Are you sure?” Richard answered affirmatively.

No second thoughts.

No tears.

As they bound his hands, he pleaded, watching the woman who had once sheltered him now cry for her own life.

But all that filled his mind was Precious—her figure, her smile, her laughter.

When the priest inquired again, “Are you ready?” he whispered, “Yes. Go ahead.”

The knife drove in.

Blood stained the ground.
