Two years ago, I graduated from university and started working for a tourism agency as a digital marketer. It was one of my first serious jobs and I was pretty excited about it since I got to do what I loved. I also got to travel to many places around the country and flaunt my escapades online. Then, one day, I woke up to a message from a politician. I thought that he was interested in my work but when I read the message, it was far from what I expected.
“You look very beautiful. I want to take you out for dinner.” It read.
I know I’m beautiful with a nice body but I didn’t think these kinds of things really happened. For a while, I thought I was being catfished until I told my friend, Stacy, about it.
“This is the message,” I said, showing her my phone.
“He has been verified. How can he be a catfish?” She asked after reading the message. “Reply right now!”
“Being verified doesn’t mean anything.” I protested. “Maybe it’s his intern DMing me.”
“Give me that phone.” She said, grabbing the phone from my hand then proceeded to reply to the message from the politician.
“What have you done?” I asked, reading the message she had sent.
“I’ve done what you should have done when you got the message. Do you think everyone gets this kind of message? I have been on social media for five years and no politician has ever DM’d me.”
After the reality sunk in, I warmed up to the idea of dating a politician. Who didn’t want to fly around the world? Who didn’t want to drive a good car and live in a high-end apartment? Finally, I would get to live the baby girl lifestyle without lifting a finger to work.
Stacy was right. This was an opportunity of a lifetime and I had to act fast before everything fell apart. Later that day, the politician replied to the message and asked to meet him at a private club in the evening.
“Can you come and help me to pick an outfit?” I asked Stacy over the phone.
“Of course. I’ll bring you some of my clothes as well.”
I was happy that she was by my side and willing to help me because I knew that I would fall flat on my face without her. She arrived shortly after carrying a huge bag of clothes. We picked a stunning outfit and I started getting ready for the dinner date.
Stacy offered to take me to the location but I didn’t want to risk annoying the politician so I asked her to stay in my apartment. When I got there, I informed the front desk attendant who I was going to me and she promptly escorted me to a private room.
He was seated in a leather chair near the window drinking a glass of whiskey.
“Good evening,” I said with a smile.
“Linda. You’re even more beautiful in person.” He hugged me and then grabbed my big behind.
“You’re quite handsome too,” I said and he laughed and then pulled out a chair for me to sit.
We talked for almost three hours that night before he realized how much time had passed by.
“Oh my goodness, it’s so late. Do you need a driver to take you home?”
I was confused since I thought he wanted to sleep with me but I didn’t want to seem desperate so I agreed.
“Yes, I do.”
“Okay. My driver will drop you off. Let me know when you get home.” He said and hugged me just as tightly as he did when we met.
“I really like you.” He whispered in my ear before he let me go.
When I got home, the driver handed me a bundle of cash and then drove off before I could react. I put the money in my bag and then went to my apartment where I found my friend watching a movie.
“Tell me everything.” She said excitedly.
I narrated how the night went but I didn’t tell her that he gave me money.
“Maybe he didn’t think you’re pretty.”
“He did. He couldn’t keep his hands off me.”
The following day, he texted me to meet him at the same location. We ended up spending the night together and I missed work the following day. This became a common occurrence. He would call me in the middle of the day and I had to make up an excuse to leave work.
This continued for almost two months until I quit my job altogether. I was making my whole salary in a week so I didn’t need the money. Additionally, it was getting harder to go to work since I was always out of the country.
My friend started getting jealous of my lifestyle even though I always gave her money and bought her expensive gifts when I travelled.
One day, all hell broke loose when I was out of the country. My friend was hosting a birthday party and promised that I would attend. However, I wasn’t even in the country and my social media posts must have caught her attention.
I started getting so many notifications and messages but I didn’t check my phone. Then, the politician came over to where I was and I realized that something was seriously wrong.
“What’s this?” He asked angrily while showing me his phone.
People were calling out the politician online for having an extramarital affair.
“How did they know? Did you tell anyone?” He asked.
“I don’t know. People can find out anything they want nowadays.”
However, after seeing the screenshots of messages between me and the politician, I immediately knew who was behind it. Stacy was the only one who had access to my phone. She used the information to drag me and embarrass me online because I lied to her but she didn’t expect it to get as much attention as it did.
My life changed after that. The politician broke up with me and I lost the lavish lifestyle that I used to live. Luckily, I had saved some money and I started my own business to sustain myself but things were never the same. I remained friends with Stacy but I never forgave her for what she did.
