A Fall From The Sky

by Gerald Chukwu

Supermodel and beauty queen Maureen came from a rich family. All looked to be going well for her until she met poor orphan, and taxi driver, Kelvin, in very awkward circumstances. All the more made awkward by the conniving activities of her kid sister Chinny. Maureen under pressure from the demanding nature of her work and status as national pageant winner, considered Kelvin as a stain to her grace and opulence and avoided him like the plague. But when Chinny's schemes culminated in her dancing with him at her birthday party in the full glare of the press, Maureen decided to teach him a lesson by getting him flogged, and thrown out of the residence. By a stroke of fate, Kelvin won a scholarship to be trained by a prestigious company and Maureen's nude picture was exposed by her managers after they quarreled. Disowned by her parents and disgraced by everyone she knew, Maureen hid in the ghetto part of town where she led the life of an urchin. There she met a fine young man that recently returned from his studies and employed with the shipping company that trained him. They ran into one another numerous times and had some odd awkward encounters that made him feel he knew her before. A totally disguised Maureen did all she could to make sure he did not recognize her. But fate is a cruel manipulator, and kept bringing them together. And with a growing love threatened by the shadow of past animosity, and Maureen's past about to catch up with her, history was about repeating itself...
