A self-confessed lady of the night is threatening to sue her married ex-lover for “seduction damages” and loss of income after he reneged on his promise to marry her.
31-year-old Vimbai Bertha from Hatcliffe in Harare is alleging that Deserve Mugore promised to marry her after lying to her that he was not married.
She claimed that following Deserve’s promises to her, she quit her job as a professional lady of the night as she prepared to settle down.
However, Deserve later reneged on his promise to marry her. Vimbai is now demanding compensation for the revenue she lost out on during the 7-month relationship. She is yet to reveal precisely how much she wants as she is still doing her calculations.
Speaking to daily tabloid H-Metro, the jilted lady of the night said she feels betrayed and used by Deserve, whom she alleges wasted her time.
“I could have moved on with my life. Maybe, dai nditori pari nani because he promised to look after me.
“He forced me out of work since I was into commercial sex work.
“We met at Sunridge Shops along Harare Drive, and he has been paying my bills since June last year, and only dumped me after a confrontation over a certain girl.
“He promised to take care of me and mafirst days aibhadhara kusvika azoti I had to stop clubbing akuda zvekuita mhuri neni,” she said.
She also insisted that she had no idea that Deserve is married and has another mistress elsewhere.
“Little did I know he was married and also had another mistress waari kulojera just like me.
“I discovered it last week after ndatora number dzaingofona asingadaire ndikataura nemusikana wacho, that’s how I came to know ane mukadzi.
“I confronted him pa App achiramba, claiming vakarambana nemunhu iyeye.”
When the tabloid reached out to Deserve he threatened to take unspecified action against both the publication and his former paramour.
“You are lucky ndikudaira ask her zvandakamuudza totangira ipapo. Kana ane evidence nazvo let justice take its course.
“Do your duties professionally. Carry on then totangira ipapo, chete, ndakamuudza wani and I am not threatening her at all,” he said.
