Chapter 2: Toxic love
One morning Faith sat down with Joseph to try and help him see the truth of her honesty. She spoke gently, pouring her heart out expressing her love and commitment to him. She shared stories of their beautiful memories, the laughter they had shared and the dreams they had nurtured together.

"Babe I love you with all my being, I have no eyes for another man, you stole my heart and it only beats for you. So please be at ease babe no one will ever take your special space in my heart."

That was Faith, busy trying to convince Joseph. However, Joseph's mind was clouded with his own made up stories. He couldn't let go of the thought that Faith was being unfaithful, even though there was no evidence to support his claims. It was as if his imagination was trapped in a web of deceit that he couldn't break free from. Well maybe the reason he had all this claims is because they were in a distance relationship and it was difficult for them to meet up regularly since they were both not financially stable. But anyway they never spend a day without calling each other. Faith always make sure that she connects with him even if she don't have the airtime she will beat herself up just to hear her lover's voice.

So the continual accusations made Faith's heart ached as she witnessed the pain and torment Joseph was going through. She knew that she had to find a way to help him see the truth. With determination in her eyes, she decided to find a way to gather evidence that would prove her innocence.
