Francis called me a Prostitute..

Francis and I were in a relationship. I cooked for him, prayed for him, supported him when he had nothing. I was that woman the one who believed in her man even when the world didn't. So when Francis came to me with his plan, I listened. I trusted him. That was my biggest mistake.

His company was hosting an end-of-year party. Francis knew his boss had noticed me he had seen the way the man looked whenever I came up in conversation. So Francis dressed me up, took me to that party, and introduced me to his boss. Not as his girlfriend. Not as the woman who had been by his side through everything. He introduced me as his cousin, I was confused, but I played along because I trusted him. The boss was charmed. He spent the whole evening by my side. And Francis? Francis watched from across the room smiling, networking, shaking hands while his boss got closer and closer to me.

One thing led to another. And Francis knew exactly what he was setting up.

Months passed. I noticed Francis changing his attitude, the way he spoke to me, the way he looked at me. Something was different. He became cold, distant, arrogant. I kept asking myself what I did wrong. I kept trying harder, loving harder, praying harder. Then one day, Francis got his promotion. General Manager. The position he had been chasing for years. He was celebrated at work, praised by everyone. And I thanked God because I thought finally, we made it. What I didn't know what I found out later was what his boss had told him privately after signing those promotion papers.

You gave me your cousin, so I gave you the position. The girl was good to me.

His boss said it like a transaction. Like I was currency. Like Francis had handed over something that belonged to him and received his reward in return.And Francis? Francis didn't defend me. He didn't correct him. He laughed, shook his hand, and went home to start planning his wedding. To another woman.

When I confronted him, when I stood in front of the man I had loved with everything I had, he looked me dead in the eyes and said You are a prostitute. I could never marry someone like you. Francis. The same man who planned the whole thing. The same man who chose my outfit, drove me to the party, made the introduction, and stepped back while his boss moved in. He designed every single step and then used what happened to disqualify me as a wife.

I want every girl reading this to understand something a man who truly loves you will never put you in a position where your dignity is the price of his success. Never. Not once. Not for any promotion, any contract, any opportunity on this earth.
