Ugochi Alozie was beautiful. Those who knew her marvelled at how one person could be blessed with good looks, exceptional intelligence and a loving heart. The tan-complexioned beauty stood 5 feet 8 inches tall at the age of sixteen. Her heart-shaped face, which radiated innocence and comeliness, was always lit with a smile. Though slender, her full bust and curvaceous hips always invited an extra glance.

At school, she remained top five in class. Her teachers always had commendable reports about her. She had friends who adored her and could testify of her loving nature.

She came from a family of four girls of which she was the third. Having two elder sisters (Adaeze and Uchechi) who were very close and a younger sister (Ogechi) who was very rascally, Ugochi always felt left out making her retire into a world of her own. Because she found it hard confiding in her sisters, her way of communicating her feelings was through writing poems. Whenever she was hurt or angry, she would write a poem about her situation.

She was the apple of her parents’ eyes. Her parents liked her so much because she was reserved, obedient, very hardworking and godly. Her godly nature made her humble despite her beauty, adorable nature and intelligence. She was ignorant of her physical. She had developed a relationship with God where she put Him as number one in her life. Everything centred around Him. Any spare time she had was used to be in His presence either in the church, or worshipping Him, or meditating on His words.

Ugochi was clear on her belief that fornication and adultery were grave sins. She always preached about it to her sisters. Her parents were happy that with the way she was going, she would remain a virgin until she was married. They had plans to take advantage of her innocence and naivety.

But the change in her beliefs began when a family moved in next-door in their neighbourhood…
