Iby came back with a medium bowl with steams emitting out of it. He dropped it on table in front of her. He went back inside the kitchen and came back with the agege bread.
She watched quietly as he dragged a stool to the table and sat down. They said a little prayer before they started digging into the soft paste which was normally called, "Akamu" by the indigene's of the country.
He moaned to how delicious the meal was. He had added alot of milk and sugar.
"So.. I bought those for you." He finally said, breaking the little silence that had ensued between them.
He scooped a spoon full and pushed it into his mouth when she didn't say anything. "Using those would help you. Maybe remove these pimples off your face and the cream would maintain your skin."
She said nothing. He got tired and dropped his spoon.
"What is it, May? You ain't eating."
"I am
May husband's second mistress —the exact one she had seen the night before— who had come to unlock the door, tried to process what the lady had said. "Wait. Are you sure you're not in the wrong apartment? Cause the owner of this house isn't married yet.""If you're talking about one Mr. Edric David then yes and as I've already said, I'm his wife." She waved the ring, she hadn't had the guts to remove all these years of unhappy marriage, infront of her husband's mistress face. "Can I go in now?"Unexpectedly but thankfully the younger lady who happens to be her husband's mistress, let her in without another word said between them and with a little hesitation at the door, followed behind her into the living room to continue watching the movie.May entered her room to change her clothes. She really needed to remove them before guilty conscience killed her. Even after changing the cl
They were silent for a minute or two until she broke it."To be sincere with you May, you are a strong lady—""I'm not—""At least you've tried to be. If you're not doing it for you, you have been doing so for your child."May gulped. It hasn't been easy."But I think you've been strong for too long, May. As women, we are to stand up for each other. If it's possible that we can put an end to this, I'll be here to give you my full support. I might be just nineteen years old and still in the University but I understand your pain. I do. So many women has been there before. Like, how can we put an end to domestic abuse in this country? It's a serious matter. Men like Edric shouldn't go scot free. They should be taught a lesson." she concluded.May admired her. She wished there were more understanding women like this in the country. Women that are willing t
Edric pushed her away and walked to his room. He couldn't think of something wrong happening between him and Tina. At least not now that he was sexually aroused.For months, He'd fantasied about having her on his bed. Yesterday night, when she had arrived, she refused to sleep with him with the excuse that her journey was a long tiring one. He'd let her be but tonight was the night. He had swallowed tramadol in his office and had even worn a condom there.He meant business.He wasn't going to let today slid. "I'm leaving." was the first words that hit him once he entered the bedroom. She was seated on the bed, looking at th
Edric tore her skirt hungrily, not having the patience to remove it gently like the way lovers do. Her undies flew with it too.When she felt him inside of her, she winced while he moaned heavily. He seemed to be the only one enjoying it whereas May turned her head to the left side and silently cried.Being starved of sex for all these years, she was surprisingly tight. He liked the way it felt like she was squeezing him, crushing his walls. He couldn't believe he had been missing this for six years. Good six years.What was he even thinking? He mentally thanked Tina for making today happen. If she hadn't left, he would have been with her instead of his wife. The difference would have been that, he wouldn't need to struggle his way into her like he was doing with his wife. The foolish woman thought she was a match to have a battle with him. The thought only caused him to move to and fro with great force as he pinned both h
May was sitting on a stool, letting the drops of water, from the shower, to fall on her hair and down her shoulders. Soaking her clothes and making it hug her body. Her eyes were transfixed on the floor and he couldn't tell if she was crying or if it was just the water.Iby stood by the door and watched her wordlessly. He didn't know what he was to say."There is fire. Fire, Iby." She started. Her voice, almost in a whisper.He didn't know which surprised him. If it was the fact that she had noticed him enter the bathroom and decided to pretend she hadn't or what she had just said.He looked around, confusion marred on his face. "Fire? Where?" he asked.She laughed cynically. "You don't get it do you? There is fire in my head, burning in my soul, in my heart. It's burning.. It's destroying everything. I hardly have control over it.""What are you saying?" He asked with wid
"Wake up." a familiar voice whispered. "Please.. Wake up May."She tried to open her eyes as she held unto the green bed sheets tightly with both hands on her sides as if it was stopping her to. "I beg you, May. Please.. I need you. Maryam also needs you." The voice, from a low whisper, began to echo louder. The owner of the voice sounded desperate.She squeezed the bed sheets tighter whilst trying hard to ignore the excruciating pain coming from her injured wrist. "Please.. Stay. Stay with me."She forcefully flew her eyes open on hearing that. Everything was blurry including the figure who was towering above her, looking at her with a sad expressi
"Big sister?" Iby broke the sudden silence by asking, looking from the young lady (who just claimed to be May's younger sister) to May in confusion."May, is this some kind of joke? Is it true?" He asked with disbelief written all over his face. May tried to find her voice which she seem to have lost due to the shock of seeing her younger sister again after all these years.She stammered, "Uh-Uh. Yes, Iby."Iby gave her a disapproved look. "But I thought you said-""I know what I said." She quickly cuts in then, gulped. She looked at anywhere else but him. She didn't want to see the hurt in his eyes. "Ple
"Woman, you better provide your son or else..." the police man threatened, "We've been to his house but he is not there. You have to tell us where he is right now or you would follow us to the police station."Mama Edric panicked as she kept on dialing Edric's phone number but it was switched off."I can't get to him. Please officer.. " She pleaded as beads of sweat covered her face. She wiped it off with the end of her lose wrapper. "He must've travelled to calabar for the couple's get together thing he is having with his siblings. They informed me about it but I can't remember exactly where they are having it and i have been trying to get to any of my sons but their lines are not reachable. Please officer have mercy. I didn't do anything.""Mtcheww.." Tina drawled, eyeing her from her head to her toe. "Wicked woman. Weren't you aware of your sons devilish behavior before? And what did you do about it? You kept quiet but
