Episode 3: The Pastor's Deception - A Second Betrayal

Stella was on the verge of breaking down. “Can you see what I’ve been through? I’ve promised myself so many times that I wouldn’t go back to that pastor, but somehow I always do.” 

Her voice quivered with pain. “You’ve seen it yourself now.”

I nodded, feeling a mix of sympathy and confusion. 

How had we both ended up in this mess? I’d always been quick to judge others, especially women who fell for men of God, but this was different. 

My advice to my dear sisters reading this is clear: be cautious and guard your heart. 

No one is immune to temptation, especially when it comes disguised as trust.

Back to the main issue—Stella’s pregnancy.

The weight of her secret was bearing down on me. I knew I had to tread carefully. 

Yet, despite everything, the attraction I had toward Pastor Olumodeji still lingered in my mind. Could this really be happening?

Stella was planning to leave town, vanish without a trace. “Where will you go?” I asked.

“I’d rather not tell you. It’s safer that way. I don’t want anyone finding me or the baby.”

Her words stung. What if she didn’t survive? What if she regretted leaving? Fear gripped me.

Reader Interaction:

Do you think Stella's decision to leave was right, or should she have stayed and faced the situation?

What would you have done differently in her shoes?

The days after Stella’s departure were the hardest I’d ever faced. 

My thoughts were consumed with worry for her and my strange pull toward Pastor Olumodeji. 

How could I let myself get wrapped up in this? His constant calls and texts didn’t help.

I had planned a spiritual retreat to get away from it all, to seek clarity. But early one morning, before I could even leave for the mountain, Pastor Olumodeji arrived at my doorstep, unannounced. 

His sudden presence caught me off guard.

“Where is Stella?” he demanded.

I was furious. “You’re the one who should know where she is. 

She’s carrying your child, after all!”

He looked desperate. He knelt down before me, pleading for information. “Please tell me where she is.”

It was unsettling to see him this way. 

I tried to lift him up, but in a moment of clumsiness, we both ended up falling on the bed.

There we were, face to face, and something shifted. Before I knew it, a line had been crossed.

Quick Poll:

Have you ever found yourself in a situation that escalated beyond your control? How did you handle it?

I couldn’t believe what had just happened. 

My mind raced, filled with guilt and confusion. 

How had I let myself fall into this trap? As I sat there, alone in my room, I felt a wave of disgust wash over me. 

The man I once respected as a spiritual leader had just taken advantage of me, but deep down, I knew I hadn’t resisted him.

For days, I isolated myself, refusing to answer calls or leave the house. My emotions were a tangled mess of shame and betrayal. 

Eventually, I fled to my friend Faith’s house, hiding from everyone who knew me. 

But the haunting memory of what had happened wouldn’t let me rest.

When I finally returned home, exhausted and drained, I heard a familiar knock at the door. 

It was him again—Pastor Olumodeji.

“What are you doing here?” I asked, this time with no fear in my voice.

“I’m sorry for everything,” he said. “It was a mistake, the work of the enemy.” But I wasn’t about to fall for his excuses again. 

I demanded he leave, pushing him toward the door. But he wouldn’t budge.

He pleaded once more for Stella’s whereabouts, but I had nothing to offer him. As we stood there, tears filled his eyes. 

For a moment, I felt pity for him. I handed him a handkerchief, and as he reached for it, his touch lingered longer than it should have. 

Before I could react, we were back in that same dangerous place.

It happened again.
