cheating

I went to visit my second boyfriend in his apartment. He is not my real boyfriend, but I call him my second boyfriend. While I was there, my real boyfriend suddenly called me. My heart skipped. He asked where I was. I lied and told him I was at my family house. He then said we should do a video call because we were supposed to meet that weekend. The truth was, I couldn’t meet him because I had already gone to see the other guy. The second guy lives in an apartment with other guys. I was scared my boyfriend would notice something strange, so I started lying more. I told him my family members were not around and that only my cousin brother was at home. Before the video call, I begged one of the guys there to pretend to be my cousin brother. I whispered to him to play along. He agreed. When my boyfriend called, the guy answered, greeted him confidently, and acted like a real cousin. They exchanged greetings like nothing was wrong. My boyfriend believed everything. When the phone came back to me, I felt relieved but still very nervous. I then told my boyfriend I was hungry and that there was no food at home. I added another lie, saying my aunt had gone to the market and my cousin brother was very broke. I even said he didn’t have money to help me. My boyfriend felt bad for me. He sent me ₦20,000 and told me to use it for food for now. He asked when I would come to see him. I lied again and said next week, maybe Monday. He said he would still send me more money and told me to take care of myself. That night, I couldn’t sleep. My heart was racing because of all the lies. The next day, I followed the other guy to a pool bar where he was going to hang out. As I walked in, laughing and pretending everything was fine, I lifted my head… And that’s when I saw him. My boyfriend. Standing right there. My heart stopped, my hands went cold, and in that moment, I knew my life was about to change…
