I Found Out My Boyfriend Was Paying My Rent With His Wife's Money

Two years ago I was dating this guy, Olu Jacobs, no not the actor, another one. He was older, had money, and I was tired of struggling in Lekki. He offered to pay my rent. ₦1.2 million for the year. I said yes because I was drowning.

Three months later, his wife showed up at my gate with a printout of the transfer. She didn't shout. She just said, "You are the fourth one this year." My legs were shaking. I packed out that same week.

I never told anyone. Not even my mother. The shame was too much. I learned that money from a married man is never free. It comes with a receipt you will pay for later. God forgive me.
