Unfulfilled Love Promises (Part 5)

Unfulfilled Love Promises (Part 5)

She stood up and ordered me out, I told her to be calm that I mean no harm, I said I didn’t expect her to be surprised because I thought Marcus already told her. She said I’m lying to her, and I told her to call Marcus in my presence, give the phone to me to talk to him. That was when she believed I was telling the truth and she asked if I have come to hurt her, I said No, just wanted her to know that we are both married to a devil, I told her I was coincidentally present at the wedding. The next few seconds, I saw her going down gradually, she slumped. Madam, Madam, I called her but was already on the floor before I could do anything. As I shouted for help, the other man in the house ran out and together we rushed her to the hospital, though I asked myself if it was normal for me to care for her, but I didn’t want anyone’s death to come from me.

Mike told us to leave because I needed to get back to Lagos before Marcus finds out about his wife’s condition, but I waited until the doctor confirmed that she’s stabilizing but her condition needs immediate attention. I heard the doctor asking one of her family members where the husband is, but didn’t know what they discussed after then. So, I went back to the car and we headed for Lagos. Mike was on a very high speed because we needed to meet Marcus at home, and he needs to sleep in that house that night.

Fortunately for me, I met Marcus when I got back, and I saw him looking so disturbed. Oh! Honey, you’re home. Sorry I had to rush to get some things, I’m sure he was not even bothered about me not being at home, because he was looking so disturbed and bothered about something else. I kept watching his actions, so I asked if everything was fine, but he told me he is OK, just that there is an issue with a contract that was almost approved for him, and he doesn’t know how to take care of the situation. I told him he needs to be calm that if he loses this, he can always get another. He kept receiving calls, so he told me he needs to travel very early in the morning to take care of the issue, I told him I’m OK with that, and gave him a kiss. I had my own mission that night, truly I loved Marcus from the depth of my heart, I didn’t wish for what I was about to do.

That night, we went to bed, Marcus couldn’t sleep, he only closed his eyes looking for that sleep that he couldn’t find. Around 03:15 AM in the morning, I stood up beside him, I did everything possible to make sure Marcus wasn’t sleeping, and also made sure he followed me, when I knew he was stylishly monitoring me,  I went to Mike’s room, laid on his bed, and Mike laid on me. Few minutes later, Marcus walked right in, and saw us in that position. He got really mad, I still didn’t get up from that bed, just to show him that I don’t really give a damn, I needed to frustrate him more, Mike was just quiet in a corner of the room. Marcus began to call me names, called me a whore, a slut, a bitch, he said I have no shame, and I could stoop so low to sleep with my brother. He said if I don’t leave that house that minute, he’ll be forced to do the unthinkable. He left the room, and immediately, Mike and I left the house that very night. On getting outside the compound, Gabriel, Mike’s partner was parked outside as planned, we entered the car and zoomed off. At that point, Mike and Gabriel’s job was done.

I called my parent’s immediately and explained all that happened in details, they were quite displeased with me that I schemed something like that without their notice. At dawn my Mum called Marcus, told him I already called home, and she requested for an audience, a meeting between the two families so that both parties can be heard from, both parties you said Ma, said Marcus. I caught your daughter sleeping with his brother, and you can still request for a kind of reconciliation meeting, my Dad took the from my Mum, spoke to Marcus himself, and he agreed. He told my dad that he’ll be travelling, and if he’s able to get back that very day, he’ll let them know when to come. That day Marcus went to Ibadan as expected, got back that same day but I wasn’t sure if he has been able to talk to his wife, but I believed at the moment he couldn’t have known I met with his wife already. Both our parents were present and some other family members, Marcus explained everything I did, told them what he has been suspecting before he finally caught me and Mike together, and told them he cautioned me many times before that night he saw us. Everyone looked at me despicably. My dad asked me who Mike was exactly, Marcus was surprised that my parent’s could ask that kind of question, when it was my Mum that called to tell us Mike would be living with us. I was later given an opportunity to explain myself and the reason for my dirty act.

I told them it wasn’t Mum that called, the call was faked, it was Mike that called himself, saved his number with MUM, I hired him, paid him to come to this house and act like a brother, everybody were shocked, and Marcus’s father asked why I did that. I told them everything was staged from the moment I discovered this, discovered what? They asked, I dropped all the pictures of Marcus and his wife, Mike and Gabriel  took at Ibadan, I told them if they still have doubts, I have saved videos and if they won’t mind, they can all get a copy. The room became very quiet. I didn’t even know when I began to cry again. I told them that night he saw me and Mike together, I knew he was following me, just what I wanted, because I wanted this moment to come, where everybody will be present to see the silent devil he is.  I said I didn’t try to set up this gathering to beg to stay in his house, but just for people to know what’s happening, and from that moment I cease to be his wife. His parent’s begged, persuaded me, but I turned deaf ears. I said I’ll remain with my parents for some time until I decide what to do. I said I have left him for God, and the fact that I am looking for a child won’t be forever, and everybody went their separate ways.

Days passed by, weeks passed by, I was planning to move on with my life, suddenly Marcus called and begin to beg me to come back, he told me he filed a divorce with his wife, I asked him why, he said he got to know that the child she carried then was not his. Because of the sudden shock she had when I visited her at Ibadan, she had to be operated, and the baby had anemia because she was premature. I was asked to donate my blood for her, and later I was told that my blood was not compatible with hers. I argued  with the doctors, told them we went for compatibility tests before the wedding and we were both confirmed rhesus positive Rh⁺, and the baby turned out to be rhesus negative. I threatened her to talk, and she confessed she had another boyfriend before the wedding, when she discovered she was pregnant, she wasn’t sure of who was responsible, but she believed the baby was mine. For weeks, Marcus begged me to comeback. Can I forgive my husband? Will our relationship be like it used to be? Should I go ahead and abort the baby and move on with my life, I’m already seven weeks pregnant for Marcus and I didn’t notice I was pregnant all along. I’m confused, but God will see me through.

THE END!
