Beyond the Continent

Rebecca had gone through an agonizing break up with the love of her childhood. She decided to give love a second chance by getting married to a military officer Robert. They had two beautiful children together. He had asked her to walk the journey of life with him and be his best friend when he proposed to her. She accepted his proposal, and they had gotten secretly engaged without her parents knowing. Eventually he proposed officially to her again in the traditional way by carrying wine to her family. Her mother Naomi investigated his background and was not happy with what she found out. Robert had been a lady's man and not faithful to any of the women. Rebecca's mother questioned his fidelity as a husband and worried for her daughter. She advised her daughter against the marriage. Rebecca disobeyed her parents and had the rest of her life to regret her decision as Robert betrayed her trust in him. She ran away with their two children when they argued, and Robert threatened to take their children away from her. The story continues with the setting in the continent of Africa.
