Tragedy in the STADIUM

The state sports stadium seemed magnetic to the socialites in the state that Saturday. All well dressed in about the most expensive and classy outfits they could lay their hands on, they drove into the parking lot with their beautiful cars to witness what would go down as one of the most expensive weddings of the year and it was between rich CEO and business magnate Charles Isong and successful banker Iquo Amenam. Before these esteemed guests, they exchanged their vows and began a journey to what they expected to be a blissful marriage.

They had met a year earlier in Charles’ company where Iquo went for her marketing job. When Charles saw her, he had that ‘butterfly-in-your-tummy’ feeling. She had the perfect smile and her politeness and courtesy was the best he had seen from a young lady at her age. He knew it was not just because she needed to have his money in her bank, because he had seen many bankers before her and she was obviously different. He made some enquiries, got to find out she was a church girl and within months, he had become a committed member of her church.

As expected, Iquo was happy, she had one of her biggest accounts as a member of her church and now, her friend; what she did not expect was that he would want to marry her. He is CHARLES ISONG and he is one of the most eligible bachelors in this part of the country. He is rich, tall, dark, handsome and most of all, he is nice. With these reasons, coupled with the fact that he was now a member of her church, she agreed to marry him.

She could not think of any good reason why she should refuse to marry and she felt delay was dangerous because of the many girls Charles had in his office as his staff; so she agreed to marry him and went on to ask God to support their union. Her pastor had seen the brother’s commitment to church activities and made no objections to their union. It seemed it had pleased God to settle sister iquo for her commitment to the work of The Lord and the pastor was happy for her.
