The only way we can truly bond in this relationship is this way,” Charles said. “I don’t like how uncomfortable you get when I touch you. You can’t even look into my eyes properly.
Our wedding is close… let us enjoy ourselves a little.”
Blessing looked at him in shock. They were both youth leaders in church.
“I don’t believe we need s*x to bond,” she said. “I even invited you to a relationship seminar in my church, but you refused and said you were busy.”
“I didn’t go because I already knew what they would say,” Charles replied.
“I want our relationship to be different. I want something special, not a relationship where we act like strangers even after marriage.
All I’m saying is, I want to feel close to you. Let us bond deeply so nothing can separate us. Haven’t you heard of oxytocin?”
Blessing frowned. “What is that?”
“Oxytocin is called the ‘love hormone,’” Charles explained. “It is released when people hug, touch, or have s*x.
It helps people feel close, safe, and connected. It even reduces stress.
That’s why people say it helps relationships grow stronger.”
Blessing listened quietly.
“It’s natural,” he continued. “God created us to connect with each other. So, what I’m asking for is not too much. You are my wife-to-be, after all. Let’s just try it…” 🥺
Blessing was confused, but his words stayed in her mind all day.
She even asked other people about oxytocin, and they confirmed it was real.
“Maybe he is right,” she thought. “After all, we are getting married soon…”
A few days later, she went to Charles’ house.
They were watching TV when Charles suddenly turned it off.
“I’m stressed,” he said softly. “I just need your touch.”
Blessing felt uneasy. “Are you sure nothing will go wrong?” she asked.
“Nothing will happen,” he replied quickly. “I just want us to bond more.”
Slowly, she gave in.
What started that day did not happen just once. It continued again and again.
Weeks later, Blessing walked into the room holding a pregnancy test.
“I’m pregnant,” she said quietly.
Charles froze.
“I told you!” Blessing cried. “But you didn’t listen. Now look at what has happened! The church will not allow us to marry like this. We will be punished!”
“Stop crying!” Charles snapped. “Let me think.
This was a mistake. We need to fix it. You know my position in church. I can’t face disgrace. Go and remove it.”
Blessing shook her head. “No! Abortion is a sin. I can’t do it.”
“Then you are on your own,” Charles said coldly. “I’m not involved.”
He walked away.
Blessing felt lost and afraid. She didn’t know what to do. The fear of shame and losing her position in church pushed her into a wrong decision.
A few days later, she went for an abortion.
But something went terribly wrong.
She began to bleed heavily… and she died.
All because of one wrong decision.
One moment of pleasure destroyed her future.
Engagement is not marriage! Wait until you are truly married! Sexual purity rocks!
Stay pure! Flee immorality!
