“But dad, i need some privacy with my wife,… “Richard told his father

” I understand, but we’re used with the kids being around us,… This house is big to accommodate all of us,.. I want to watch your wife put to bed, “his grandmother begged him


” Richie, mama is right,….if you leave with your wife, the house will be boring for us,… Remember how much she adores your wife,… “his father cut in


” I’ll talk to my wife about this,… I need to discuss it with her,… ”

After they all retired to bed,… Richie decided to talk to his wife about his decision of them leaving the house,….


“My Angel “he called her pecking her on the cheek as they la!d on their bed under the warmth of the blanket watching television in their room …


” I’m thinking of us getting our own apartment,…since you’ll soon put to bed,,….. “he continued

” Baby, i’ll take it slowly,…. I don’t want to hurt our baby,…. “he said trying to enter her

It was a miracle how she recovered,… A man of God on hospital visitation told her that God gave her a second chance to correct all her past mistakes and to stay away from evil,… She was warned against plotting evil against an innocent soul cause that will bring her doom…. .. She was finally discharged from the hospital,… She sat down in her sitting room thinking deeply …..


“So these children played with my intelligence,…. Richard and his sister have ended up destroying me,.. I dont even know how they managed to meet their grandmother,..just look at that man, Johnson, looking happy and fulfilled and i’m here suffering…. .. I need to act fast,…. I cant just surrender so easily,… I cant allow these kids to win,…… I must bring back my lost glory either by force or by war,…. The war have just began,…… They should be ready for my strike,…… “she thought to herself
She quickly picked her car key and drove out,…….
The continuous ringing of Angela’s phone woke her up from slumber,. She was enjoying her nap,.she lazily grabbed her phone and checked her caller.. On seeing the caller id, she smiled and picked it….


“Hello Tope,.. Longest time,…. You forgot me na”

“How can i forget you,….. My phone was stolen and i lost most of my contacts,it took me long before i found where i wrote your number down in my diary,.. I’m sorry you didn’t hear from me for this long ,….. “she lied


” Na wa oooo,…… And you couldn’t visit me to know how i’ve been faring,…… ”

” My dear, i’ve been away for a while,.. So tell me how’re you doing?,…..

“I’m fine, i was calling to tell you about my marriage,…i got married last month,… ”

Tope could not believe what she just heard,…


” To who? “she threw back at her

” Haba,.. Easy na,…. Guess who? ”
Tope’s heart was beating faster,…. She was overwhelmed with anxiety


” who na,……. Ok cut the suspense,…. I’ll come to your village tomorrow to visit you, just text the direction to your husband’s house to me,. ”

” Village? ”

” Yeah,i mean,….. A good hearted guy in your village pitied your condition and saved you from the shame of giving birth to a b-----d,… I really need to meet this brave guy and show my appreciation ”

Angela felt bad at her friend’s choice of words but she gladdened up remembering those were in the past, at least she’s now married to her heart throb and her child is not a babstard after all.she decided to ignore what her friend said,……. She smiled,..


” Richard is my husband,…. “she blunted at her friend


” what!,…….? Is this a prank or what? “Tope asked


“A prank?,… We’ve had our traditional marriage,….. As i’m talking to you, i’m in his house, we now leave as husband and wife,…..”

“How come?,….. I thought you never wanted him around you,… Dont allow that boy to take advantage of your memory loss,…. And now he has succeeded in tying you in a marriage,.. “Tope blunted at her friend

” Why are you taking this personal,.. “Angela asked her


” Anyway i’m on my way to your house, i want to confirm what you just told me,….. ”

” Ok, i’ll be waiting for you,…. ”
Amgela cut the call and la!d on her back,. She wondered why her friend is acting funny because she got married to Richard,….. She noticed Tope was screaming over the phone like a jealous lover,…. She was still wondering, when her husband returned,… He has been returning home earlier than before since the doctor told them that she would put to bed any moment,…she was in her ninth month,….

He walked to her and pecked her
“Baby i’m famished,…… “he told his wife who was helping him remove his suit,..


” I prepared your favourite,……. Baby ever since Vanessa and her family moved to Lagos, this house is now lonely for me,… Daddy is not around and grandma spends most of her day in the church,.. I dont have anyone to talk to you,. “she lamented


” Dont worry, soon our baby will arrive and you wont be bored anymore,….. Motherhood can never be boring,…. To lighten your mood, we shall go shopping for more baby things,.. ”

Haven’t we bought enough,.? .. We already have more than enough for the baby,…. Let’s save the money”she advised him

“This is my first child and i won’t mind spending my last penny,.. So get ready,….. ”
He had a cold shower and went down to eat,…….. The cooked helped Angela serve the food,…. They were about eating when the doorbell rang,…. The cook answered the door,… Tope walked in to see Angela and Richard eating together,…..


” Oooooh, Tope, how’re you? “Angela asked her


” I’m fine,.. So it’s true,… You didn’t even bother telling me about your marriage,…. It’s unfair oooo, ”

Tope greeted Richard who ignored her,.. He begged his wife to allow him feed her,…. Angela called her to join them but she declined,…. She watched them in anger as they continued with their lovey dovey game,..

She was served juice and snacks in the sitting room,…. She peeped from time to time to check on what the couples are doing,….. When they finished eating, they joined her in the sitting room,.. Richie excused himself and went upstairs


“So Tope how’ s your family? “Angela broke the silence


” They’re fine,… My dear i’m still baffled at the way you rushed your marriage,…… You didnt invite anybody,…. You know fully well that i’m the only trusted person you have,. You should ‘ve confided in me before rushing into this marriage “she said bitterly,……


” But i love him,… I dont know why you suddenly hate Richie this much,.. I know i had a memory loss, but i’m OK now,… I remember everything him and i shared before my accident, the baby i’m carrying belongs to him,….. Just start to accept the fact that i’m married to him,…. ”


” Memory loss?,… Whoever told you that,… Who told you that you had a memory loss”

“I dont want to remember those horrible days i treated Richie badly,… ”

Tope was not comfortable with what Angela told her,…. She became restless,.. She suddenly announced her exit,…. Angela stood up and walked her to the door,……
