I eventually found work in a school and began to settle in. Because I was new, some young men and women tried to get close to me.

The headmaster of the school didn’t like that I was making fast friends. He started showing signs of jealousy, even though I had never seen him as a man who was interested in me romantically. To me, he was like a father figure. But he even started fighting with some of the guys in my space.

His wife wasn’t happy to hear that her husband was fighting because of me. When she confronted him, he told me everything. He also confessed that he was in love with me. I was shocked. I tried to turn him down but he pushed, “After everything I have done to help you, you owe it to me to love me back.”

The worst part is, I’ve fallen in love with him.
