She is the only daughter of her parents, her parents think if she had a younger brother she would have no choice but to get used to the ways of guys but they tried all they could do to have a male child but all to no avail. Her mother would sit her down and talk to her and also enlighten her that there is no way as a woman she must have to deal with men at some stage of her life.
Apart from her upbringing, she grew to have hatred towards men right from her first experience in her college days. She encountered a guy called Maxwell who had expressed love towards her, he made her realize what love is and how it does feel.

After reading the letter she couldn’t hold her tears. She was emotionally unstable for days until her friend at the university told her more about her encounter with guys so it’s never something new. She advises her to go on with her life and make sure she doesn't fall for guys so easily again.
She was done with her undergraduate degree and remained single. Many guys had approached her but her first experience remained in her heart like a mark carved on a rock. Pressure has been coming from her parents on who she would marry. But she told them she never got a choice yet.

She got a change of mind and also reneged on her promises not to get herself engaged with any man again. A few months after the wedding ceremony she met Richard who promised to love her for who she is. It wasn’t easy for her at first because her mind already gotten poisoned and it must take time to heal. She finally gets to put him on various tests to prove his loyalty and love towards her.
Richard did not know about her experience and he was placed on a test for months. Sarah made ways to offend him and see his reactions but he would reciprocate with care and affection. She tried to distance herself from him for months and see how he would feel. He would always call on her and want her to accept him to come over to her place even just for once.
She finally accepted him to be the man in her life, then she briefed him about her past experiences and he also told he his part too, the mistakes he had made with his past lover and how he promised never to allow such repetition.
They planned marriage after courtship for a year and a half. It was a merry ceremony for the two families. Sarah never expected to see herself in a wedding gown with the love of her life. Her life transformed totally as she began to realize how much she need a man in her life.
