I am a medical practitioner, a medical doctor to be precise. I attended the best university in town because my parents could afford it I graduated with first-class I was retained by my university but I wanted to further my studies so I spent only two month to work with them before finally leaving after I finish my education and established my old hospital and employed many qualified workers.

It was time to get married. I prayed and God led me to Joyce from my place of worship. I told her about my feelings for her and after some months, she agreed to marry me. Preparations began in earnestafter our introduction.

John is the only son of our pastor. He is a very wayward boy. He was excommunicated from the University after spending three years to study law. He has been at home since last year. His parents are fed up of his bad behaviours but they have tried all their best to no avail. Even in church, he puts on his earpiece and doesn't take to corrections.

I called her in the evening to ask if she was back but I noticed she was weeping. I asked her why and she couldn't say anything. I went to her house to see her but she didn't tell me the reason for weeping and then I suggested we go to our pastor and she agreed. When we got our pastor's house, he asked what I did to Joyce that made her to be crying but I told him that I was amazed too.

Mummy even suggested if she will want to talk to her privately but she shook her head. Pastor suspected I have done something but I told him she has been crying since she came back from the outreach. It was then she stood up and knelt before me. She said she is not worthy to be my wife anymore and that this relationship has to end. I opened my mouth in surprise. My pastor's wife then called called her to sit beside her and explain what she means.
