IN the corner of the room was a marble and ivory necklace given to Pandora by Michael.Michael was her close friend in the campus.He had given her the ivory lace on her 23rd birthday.Pandora couldn't express her joy when she saw it in a red square box.According to him, he said it costs twenty dollars.Why would he spend such amount of money to get this for her?she thought.But nevertheless, she loved it.The door opened and it was her mother.Now she won't disturb her to wake up for lectures since they are on break."Mom, see" she said as she showed her the fancy lace."Wow, who gave you. It would rather fit me.""No mummy, it's mine forever.Well, Macho gave me.""Alright then, it's yours. This girl, you won't stop calling this guy's name like that.""Is there anything wrong with that?""Noo, no , Not at all.......Come down and take some breakfast.Its your favourite today. Scrambled eggs, ha ha , They will make your day.""Thanks mom. Will be down soon."She still admired the lace.Maybe , Michael loved her but there was a girl too in the same lodge with her who always taunted whenever he came in search of Pandora.Her name was Michelle.She was tall, dark skinned, and too skinny , slim fit.Of which, Michael never loved such Body type.She had shown up one particular special day, when he came to hand Pandora a bag of snacks.She started interrogation with Pandora."Hey you! What's all these for.""Ugh! Sorry, Do u u mean me?""Yeah you pig! Is there any other person facing me if not you. By the way, Girl, Don't be greedy and selfish, We are gonna eat this together.""No, Am sorry, First of all, I am not a pig.And secondly, I do t think it will go well by sharing it with you.""Keep shut and answer me, Why is he always coming here , every second, minute and maybe hours."" I don't know why but Maybe he wants to friend me"."You? Why you? That's not possible.Now listen, From this very minute, I don't want to see you around him or even accepting gifts from him talkless of being paired with him.""Uggh!!!!!!""If I do, You are not gonna survive it. It's either you die and I live or I die and you live.And I believe Number One is gonna work out well. Don't say I did not warn you.And there, Pandora stood speechless..........--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------––----------------—------------------...........................................................................................................As Pandora remember that, she couldn't help but feel a wave of fear over her.She didn't come to campus to fight over a guy but to accomplish a purpose.To her, going to warn Michael to stay away from her looked stupid.She decided to avoid him and spoke with caution.Her life can't be cut short at this point.On thinking about death, she got more frightened."My studies is my priority bit those guys out there." And she came downstairs to eat."Since I called you, it's over thirty minutes.So, what kept you. Or you wanted to eat the lace?""No mum, Just packing out some stuffs. The meal is quite a fine one"They ate quietly and discussed more other topics in lodge and went for retirement.Pandora's father , Mr. Clement Santa had died in a airplane crash.He had a company that imported and exported goods into the city and that was what made him rich and wealthy.The company's name was Santa Duels marketing Ltd.They dealt with importation and exportation of rubber tyres, oil, foams, chairs, electronic gadgets, cars of all models and brands. and so on and so forth.But since he died, it's his wife that took over the company.She was popularly known as the billionaire's wife AKA, SHE MONEY.Her name was Sheena.The next day as Pandora went of the supermarket, she decided to get some groceries. As she approached the young damsel that was in charge of selling foodstuffs, she saw some kids around a woman who was telling them a story.She loved kids so she smiled when they laughed together at the woman's funny tales."Young lady, Aren't you from Jetta?"the seller asked "No but I live in Jetta .I am from Popsipo..And you.?""I am from Jetta. Why I asked cos your face looks familiar.""Really? Well I don't think so. What's your name""I am Ritta Bells and you""Ohh am Clement Pandora.""Nice to meet you, Dora. Whenever you feel like coming to purchase any goods , feel free to come over here. Am the assistant in this hall .....ok?""Yesss, I will . thanks for these"And Pandora left happily.Little did she know that Ritta Bells was Michelle's cousin.She was sent on a mission to get information about Dora and her relationship with the guy.And then, they would kidnap her and her mother and steal their riches.That was their plan.Ritta Bells went home and told her cousin that she had found her .Michelle told her to still get more information about the girl so they start their plan so fast.Pandora was not aware.....
