It was security I never realized I craved.

The curve of my fingers on his shirt.

His warmth sifted through the hospital sweats I had been gifted.

It was his scent flowing through my nostrils and somehow I could feel it’s effect down to my toes.

I picked it apart ingredient by ingredient as if I were suddenly an expert on scents.

It was the feel of his muscles just fabrics away.

It was always romantic when a guy carried a woman in the movies and I had always scoffed because I was convinced no man would carry me.

Storm held me to him even in the car. I lay on him fighting the clouds of fatigue with exhaustion wilting me away.

It was just after midnight, the day finally gone with a new one upon us. The date would be marked in my journal because of how eventful it was.

I held on as if he was my life line.

I won’t lie, for me it was magical breathing his scent in, held like a baby by my husband.

“You want to get food?”

Food was the very reason we were in the predicament we wer

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   142. FINALLY HAPPY

    Six Years Later “Blue, Royal, come in, the guests will arrive soon!” I called, the sky darkening as I stared into the vast grassland stretching from our back yard.I could hear Royal talking fitfully. “Blue, Royal!” I shouted again. The boys liked disappearing for hours in the day, God knows what adventures they went on. We bought a large farm, the boys liked exploring it, and Royal got to talk our ears off at dinner on everything they saw. I shook my head just thinking of Royal. He was loud, a very happy child, and had a completely different personality to Blue. My heart clenched every time I thought of my oldest son. You only got one word answers out of him, he was always guarded, always watching the room as if expecting something bad to happen. Royal’s voice got louder, him giggling, then they came to view. I was beginning to think Blue only went out with Royal just to keep guard of him. I loved my babies so much and I could not help smiling wider as they approached. Royal

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   141. FOREVER HOME

    The noodles nearly choked me, bent over my tiny trash can, bowl of noodles in my hand while weeping out a storm. Noodles were the only thing I could keep down and could afford. One bowl per day to keep me alive. Fuck, I was such a mess, weeping even harder and I am sure the sound could be heard through the paper thin walls. At that point the noodles were being marinated by my tears. I finally finished the bowl, sniffling as I moved to the tiny sink which was barely holding it together. I washed and dried the bowl, stuffing it in the cardboard before wiping my face. I hoped that crying session was enough because I had tutoring sessions in a few minutes. I would not have survived without my English tutoring jobs. I had spent the last of my savings buying a good computer, microphone, and a desk so I could apply to teach English online. It was bringing in enough money to support myself and send to my brother for Blue. But I had to take in more students now, I had to prepare for August.

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   140. BELOW ROCK BOTTOM

    Three months later“Ruth, it’s busy tonight, join the kitchen.” “Okay.” I closed the ledger and pushed up from the chair in my little stuffy corner office. I pushed my hair up, slipping my ribbon to hold it together and wrapped the tail into a tight bun. I switched the short heels for my socks and sneakers which I kept under my table for nights like these. I turned the corner, seeing tonight’s crowd. The diner was packed full. Eddie wasn’t good with the books, when I showed him my high school results he promoted me to the accountant so he wouldn’t have to deal with the numbers and procurement. The pay bump wasn’t much but I did not have to deal with the irritating customers. I was very irritable and preferred being left alone all day long anyway. Thank God for Maggie’s cooking skills. It made it easy for me to get a job. If someone had told me four years back that I would end up where I was, I would have laughed my ass off. Getting into the busy kitchen, I took over the fryer. I

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   139. DEADLY AND PAINFUL GOODBYE

    Hendrix and Neria were in surgery. My baby had been checked by the doctor. Blue had been hit, his ear had been bleeding. The doctor attended to him then advised what medicine he would need at home. We needed to bring Bue back in two weeks to check if his hearing had been affected. The morning could not get any worse. I sat by the theatre where my friend, who I had dragged into this, was being operated on along with my husband. No word had been said on them, how bad their conditions were. Ryan’s men filled the hall, all looking pale as if their lives were on the line.I ran my hand through my hair again, tears having dried, my well dry and used up. I had said so many prayers and I was raw. The pacing did not help and sitting down did not help either. I did not know what to do with myself. In my head I kept playing it back, what could I have done for us not to end up here? Each time my brain hit a dead end. I could not think, my bran tired yet I could not stop torturing it. I had clea

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   138. CREATING BLOODY ART

    I opened the door and took the steps one at a time, the gun held with both hands, having reloaded it. The music was loud, making it impossible to hear anything. I reached the steel door at the top, placing my bloody hand on it then pushed the handle down slowly. I jerked the door open, sliding in with my finger on the trigger, ready to make it rain. My eyes fell on a kitchen island, the kitchen empty, bottles of beer and trash everywhere, a stink in the air. Slowly, I went through, leaning against the wall. I slid down then peeped into the living room where they all were. Smoke filled the room, the stench of alcohol heavy. I could hear women moaning. “What are you going to do with the kid?!” “Fucking sell him ofcourse, I already have a buyer, fucking good money too! Gave me a business idea!” “You are so fucked up!”“Not as much as I am about to fuck this whore!” Laughter and giggles filled the room then the moans. I tightened my grip on the gun, closing my eyes, saying my fina

  • HIS SECRET WIFE   137. ATTACK

    “You know it’s four a.m right?” “I am five minutes away, please alert the guards I am coming, open the gate and garage” Was all I said as I took the sharp corner up to Ryan's house, cutting the call. I pressed harder on the gas, the car not able to go any faster than it already was. My hands clenched, pale, and burning from the pain of the tight grip. The lights from the house came to view, bright. I dared take a look again at Hendrix’s dot on the map, my chest clenching even more, my jaw set. The dot still hadn’t moved, wanting to not think the worst but it was hard to ignore the fact now.The gates opened as I approached and I was afraid, if not, I would have run them through. I turned, going straight to the garage and slid in the open spot. I did not even turn off the car; jumped off, and ran for the door to the house, running in. I nearly hit Neria while turning the corner. “Girl!” She exclaimed, stepping back. I was shaking, could barely even speak. “I need guns,” Was all I
