I became entirely numb, I couldn't think, couldn't say anything. I have never felt like dying before, but I can see myself dying. I felt helpless, I was damn scared of the known and unknown. I just wished I could just close my eyes and then open them back to see everything is back to normal. But who am I kidding. Everything that happened right from the beginning, the drunken night, waking up naked in the hands of Niyi, my screams, the tears when I realized what happened, every bit of it kept flashing and replaying.
I grabbed onto my head, holding it tightly as if that will rid off the horrible things it stored. I made an effort to move, but I couldn't. Everything became blurry and I began to sway from left and right, staggering like a drunkard. Acting insane. Suddenly I let out a frightful scream. The tears began spilling uncontrollably, the hiccups kept coming through. I collapsed on the hard tile floor not minding the pain that came from th
Different thoughts kept running through my mind as Bayo drove us down to the hospital, what have I done? The voices in my head kept pointing accusing fingers at me. I became more scared, I couldn't really place what was going on in my head. I was at fault, I caused all this.I couldn't wait to get to the hospital, I just hoped Kene was going to be fine, I closed my eyes tightly offering prayers to God."Oh lord, please let my husband survive this." I prayed."Amen!" Bayo and Seyi responded.I became nervous and restless as we got to the hospital, the giant hospital with the bold inscription of General inscribed on the upper walls of the building. I flew out of the car right before it could stop at the parking lodge, I fell down immediately, hitting my knee on the hard concrete, a wave of pain jostled into my knee but that didn't stop me, I limped hurriedly into the hospi
I could see Uchechi staring at me from my side view, She cocked her eyebrows in a subtle way of asking me what was wrong. After the encounter with Tatiana, I left the hospital immediately without checking up on my husband, I was scared of the unknown and known. I ran out the hospital got a taxify and here am I in Uchechi's house.But how do I tell my best friend I'm dead meat. How do I tell my best friend my husband was in the hospital, and he will probably not remember he has a wife or kids. How do I explain to her I was the cause of it all, how do I open my mouth to tell her I was drugged and raped by one of my husband's friends ? To cap it all how do I even tell her my husband might not even be the father of my children or that he has baby mama who just insulted and threatened me not to long ago. How? My life was just in chaos, I'm exasperated.I rolled my eyes in a way I hoped made me appear nonchalant. I
My kids were missing, my husband was awake. I didn't know what to do. I got more confused as I paced round Uchechi's. We already went to the police station to report the missing kids, I and their grandparents gave the police our statements before leaving them to do their job.I was like a dead woman living, nothing else bothered me than my missing children. I just wished it was a game of hide and seek. I kept hoping they will come out of their hiding place telling me it was all a play. But no matter how I wished, it didn't happen. Where as it became more painful."Sewa, I think you need to go to the hospital to see your husband," Uchechi broke into my thoughts, but I ignored her entirely."Sewa!" she screamed.I jerked up in fear, my eyes widening. I shut my eyes close when I saw she was only trying to get my attention."Uchechi
Two months laterKene was finally back home and of course he was getting better, the injuries he sustained from the accident were already healing up, but he was yet to recover his memory. He didn't even remember he had kids and I didn't bother mentioning it to him, I've been keeping him at arm's length since he came home with Tatiana, yeah that psycho. Talking about the kids, I'm just glad they have been found. Every morning I woke up with relief knowing my kids were safe with my father.Thanks to Ada, yeah the crazy one. We were able to trace the kidnappers Tatiana probably hired with the help of an insider. I'm still shocked Ada still has a good blood in her, well people change, but what made Ada actually change ? I smiled in relief, we did the DNA test of the triplets and it marched correctly with Kene's. He was the father of those kids, an amazing thing. But the most amazing thing was that Niyi absolutely confessed, he narrat
"Wow, what a good storyteller" Tatiana said as she came into the kitchen, still clapping her hands. I have feeling she must have been outside for a while."Tatiana, enough of this. Stay out of this. I'm here discussing with my wife. Whatever she tells me is not of your business, I asked for it and I choose to believe it." Kene said, facing Tatiana.I watched Tatiana as she moved round the kitchen, I could read the anger in her eyes."What am I? I'm I not your wife too?" she asked Kene.I felt tempted to scream 'No' but I had to restrain the urge."I don't know, that's what you told me, that is what you made me believe,""But I don't think I can stoop so low to marry a second wife, I know our daughter looks exactly like me, but what I don't understand is how,""The truth is I don't trust you Tatiana, I don't know why but
Years later."Mum, I need your help over here, please. I have a speech to deliver on Social's day. " Tami my sixteen years old daughter shouted.I chuckled softly as I gently untangled myself from Kene's hold. He groaned in protest."Anytime I am enjoying my wife's company, that little girl keeps disturbing." he moaned."Stop acting like a big baby," I whispered, pecking him on his lips."And you know she hates it when you call her little." I whispered, slapping his hands that were cupping my breasts away.I walked out of our room barefooted, heading over to my daughters room to have a mother to daughter conversation with her. She was probably about to tell my crush.I believe parents, most especially mothers are meant to and should establish a good communication channel with their children. They must be able to express
Jobs! One of the things that were hard to get in Nigeria was a job. My heart kept beating fast as I awaited my interview, in a few minutes time I will be called into the CEO's office and that scared me senselessly. Unlike others applicants, my interview was different. I was to be interviewed by the CEO of Ian's company, since I applied for the position of a personal secretary.I looked around the waiting room, shivering a bit. I glanced around with an impatient frown on my face. A young man in grey tuxedo came in, holding tightly to a newspaper. I could see his face was striking. The wide cheek bones and sensuous lips were noticeable. His eyebrows and lashes were as dark as his hair. I couldn't help but imagine, does he have wife? Or was he engaged? My curiosity was just aroused.Then unexpectedly, he looked up and our eyes met. His eyes didn't have a moody or bored look. They were sharply alert, a tremour ran through my spine at
In spite of the rate of unemployment in the country, I still got a job and not just an ordinary job. A job in one of the top five companies in Nigeria. A personal secretary to Mr Ian, the CEO of the well known Ian's companies. The man who has chains of a plethora of businesses in Nigeria.After an hectic preparation of making sure I was looking smoking hot for the club's outing and getting things ready for tomorrow's resumption. I was ready to go out to party.I was wearing a silver glittering mini gown and a black knee strap boots, with my black hair running down my shoulders in a curly wave. I applied a dark red lipstick to my lips to touch up my makeup. I looked perfect, the eyeliner brought out my almond shaped eyes. I flipped my hair over my right shoulder.I looked smoking hot, I giggled as I practiced seduction."It's time to party." I muttered under my breath.
