The Secret Final Part 3 – Emeka Edozie.
After taking my bath, I joined my wife in the bedroom, but my heart wasn’t at rest. I was drying my body with the towel, when my wife walked towards me and said.
“Honey, is everything alright? I noticed your sudden change of mood immediately you entered the house. What is it? You know that, you can always tell me anything”
“Eerrrm, it is nothing serious. It’s just about my job, but I will sort everything out. Don’t bother yourself”, I stuttered.
We gisted and talked about the training before we slept off that night.
I decided that I will do everything humanly possible to solve the problem myself without involving my wife.
Moreover, telling Clara, my wife, would raise suspicions. I know my wife very well. She would investigate it; till she finds out why I told her to sack Lina, the maid.
Two weeks after Lina became our maid, I discovered that she has suddenly become too close to my wife.
My wife doesn’t stay a day without mentioning Lina in our conversation.
It was becoming increasingly tiring and frustrating to watch Lina take my place in my wife’s life. When it was becoming unbearable for me, I decided to speak to my wife.
“Honey, I don’t understand what’s happening in this house”
“What is the problem?”
“Why is it that you’re always with our maid, talking with her while neglecting me? I don’t understand you anymore”
” Honey, I see her like my sister. She’s first a human being before being our maid. Have you forgotten?”, she quizzed.
“I know but,…..”
She moved closer to me and assured me that nobody would ever take my place in her life and I don’t have any reason to suspect anything.
Since she had never given me any reason to doubt her, I believed her although the presence of Lina in our home was giving me a big concern.
The next day while at the office, I called Lina on phone.
“Hello Lina, meet me by 5pm at Moli restaurant. I want to discuss something with you”.
“Alright. I will be there”, she responded before ending the call abruptly.
Immediately I closed from work that day, I hurriedly drove to the restaurant to wait for Lina, my ex-girlfriend.
Barely 15 minutes after I got to the restaurant, she walked into the restaurant, looking dazzling in her pink gown. She was looking so beautiful as she walked briskly towards the my table.
“Good evening Emmy”
“Welcome. You look good”
“Thanks so much”, she blushed before she settled on her seat.
“Lina, why are you doing this? Why are you deceiving my wife? Why are you hellbent on destroying my marriage?”
“Emmy, don’t you understand? I still love you. Have you forgotten what we shared? Our beautiful moments?”
“Lina, I remember all these things but you need to know that I can never be yøurs again. I’m now a married man. Don’t you get it? When we were dating years ago, did I ever huurt you?”
“Emmy, I know you didn’t huurt me and that’s why I still want you. I don’t want to marry you. No, I just want to be with you”, she said as she held my hands.
“It can never be possible. I’m going home right now to tell my wife about you. I can’t let you deßtroy my beautiful home”
As I was about to open the door and leave the restaurant, she stood up and said.
“If you dare tell your wife, I will show her our son”
“Our son? How?”
“I found out that I was pregnant for you some months after we left the university. I tried reaching you but I couldn’t. So I ran away from home to a friend’s place, till I gave birth to our son”.
I froze.
I froze when she told me how she gave birth to a son. Due to the shock, I couldn’t leave the restaurant anymore. I came back and sat down, staring into thin air as train of thoughts took over me.
“But Lina, why didn’t you tell me all these years? How do you want my wife to handle all these if she eventually gets to hear it?”, I broke down in tears.
“Listen, our son is in the village and I won’t bring him to your house. At least, not for now”
“Lina, what do you want from me?”
“Emmy, I need 2∅ million naira and I will leave your life forever. In fact, you won’t see me anymore. I promise!”
“Where do you want me to get that kind of money?”
“Aside that money, I also want us to make løve again even if it is once. Send me a message whenever you’re ready with the two demands”, she said before leaving the restaurant.
Right before me, my wørld crumbled. It was so difficult to believe that my past has finally come to destrøoy my marriage.
Instantly, I called my friend, Fred and narrated my ordeal to him so that he will proffer solution to me.
“My guy, just do what she said so as to save your marriage. Your wife doesn’t deserve to hear such news”
On my way home that evening, I decided that I will do what Fred advised me to do without hesitation. Telling Clara, my wife, will lead to breakdown of peace in my home ans that was the last thing on my mind.
Even as I got home, I couldn’t concentrate anymore. When Clara tried to find out what the problem was, I feigned that I wasn’t feeling well.
“Honey, I guess it was because of the stressful day you had at the office. Please, go and sleep so that you will be okay in the morning”, she said before planting a kîsss on my lips.
I made up my mind that I was going to have séx with Lina since my wife wouldn’t be at home. Grabbing my phone, I sent a message to Lina.
“Get ready tomorrow. Let’s do this once and for all. After this, I don’t want to ever sét my eyes on you ever again”.
Just as I was about to sleep, I got a reply from her.
“I will be waiting earnestly for you”.
As I woke up in the morning, I felt happy probably because everything was going to end that day. At least, Lina won’t interfere in my marriage ever again.
That evening, as my wife was preparing for her night shift, my heart kept thumping.
It felt as if I was going to betray her but I quickly waved it off since it would be the last time.
When she dressed up, I drove her to the office and bade her farewell but as I was about to go, I had a change of mind.
“Babe, I’m going to leave the car for you. You can come back with it in the morning”
“Awwwwn, thanks honey. I love you. Anyways, I will come back very early”
I boarded a tricycle which brought me home.
On getting home, I decided to go to the back of the house and pack the clothes since it was drizzling.
As I was approaching Lina’s window, I overheard her taking to someone on the phone. Since it was on loudspeaker, I discovered the caller was Fred, my best friend.
“Listen, make sure you record everything that will happen between you and my friend tonight. In the morning, make sure you come to my house with the 20 million so that we can start processing our visa immediately. Remember that we will need the videos to get more money from him in future”.
“Alright, I love you Fred”, Lina said.
“I love you too”, he replied.
I couldn’t believe what I heard.
How could my best friend plan with my ex- girlfriend to dèstrøy my life, after everything I’ve done for him?
I phoned the police and both of them were arrestedd.
During the course of the interrogation, I discovered that Lina was never pregnant for me.
Fred also hæted me because I got married to Clara, the woman he loved for years but couldn’t open up and tell her what he felt for her.
