I CAN OFFER YOU MY HUSBAND
(FINAL Episode)
“i don’t understand, Survived what janet?”
Ray held her arms firmly and looked into her eyes.
“Let go of my hands”
janet managed to drag her hands out and looked at him.
“you mean you planned my accident?” he asked.
“worry less my dear, with time you will know” janet replied him and walked towards the stairs approaching her room.
Ray stood there looking so dissapointed.
The night was uncomfortable for ray so he decided to move himself to his sitting room inorder to have a sound sleep; janet cared less.
The following day ; i was at home all alone ; lilian was in her boyfriend’s house ,
i was in my sitting room watching movie when i heard a knock
i quickly stood up to go and open.
i wasn’t expecting anyone ; i was curious so i opened the door to my surprise it was janet.
“wow come in ma, you’re welcome” i smiled.
but she kept mute and didn’t reciprocate my kind gestures.
she walked in majestically and stood there gazing around.
“welcome to my humble abode ma”
she looked at me from head to toe
i was curious to know why she acted that way, that was so unlike her.
“is there any problem ma” i asked.
she smiled and said
“Not at all but theres a bigger problem”
my heart beat increased i couldn’t utter a word.
“You think i wouldn’t find out?”
I asked her what she meant by that.
“you think you can come into my home and take away everything including what i cherished the most? you think you can walk away like nothing really happened” she added.
“i don’t understand ma, what have i taken away from you, please tell me because all i know is that you’re a good woman and i can’t hurt you”
she didn’t wait for me to drop my last wordshe sh*ut me up.
“you’re asking me what you’ve done? oohh stop pretending; we both know you’re the reason why my husband was hospitalized”
I was shocked on hearing that.
she walked closer to me and said
“you’re not smart enough you should have covered all your tracks”
“But ma i don’t underst….”
she couldn’t wait for me to complete what i wanted to say she sl**apped me.
“Just shut up or i’ll slap you again and again”
i stepped back and romanced my cheeks.
“So after trying to lur*e my husband into marrying you; after trying to get him all to yourself , you failed and then choosed to end his life right?”
I turned and back her, i couldn’t believe she actually said that to me.
“One more lies from you and i will trangle you to dea*th, I’m way smarter than you can ever imagine so don’t try acting innocent here” she added.
I’m sorry i have to say this; well she is right ; i don’t care what you think about me now, no need to pretend anymore. i’ll have to admit i did it.
“Yes i did it! i wanted him dead. i mean if i can’t have him all to myself then no one would. i mean…who wouldn’t want a handsome guy like him coupled with all his good attributes; he’s just what every woman craves including you. so tell me who wouldn’t”
Janet said nothing and was still listening to me.
I walked around and continued
“you know i thought i could make things work between i and ray , i thought i could have him easily, but he refused letting go of you; i was so annoyed so much that i wanted him dead at all cost. I mean if i can’t have him nobody will; unluckily for me he survived the accident but i wanted him dead, never knew good people took him to the hospital; the hired assas*ins should have sent me his pictures to confirm his death; i blame them sha if i had known they failed i wouldn’t have given them their balance.
Remember the day you called and broke the news to me that he was alive, i was so dissapointed and devastated; i had no other option than to play along pretending to be his cousin so you won’t suspect he had a girlfriend; i really wanted to see him, kudos to you, i said to myself since he is alive , we can still make things work. but i failed the second time and here you are.
i finally sat down comfortable after speaking.
“you know you should rot in jail” she said
I laughed and continued
“you have no evidence against me , ray deserves it you should be grateful i did it ; after all he cheated on you and that hurts the most; i can remember whenever i and your husband are discussing; your name always comes up.
i felt like i was some kind of a second hand product. i felt jeal*ous . I gave this man 2 years of my life; i rejected other men just to be with him . i gave him all the attention he needed, not to talk of best styles on bed then all he could do for me is to put you first in everything so i decided that since i can’t convince him to divorce you, I must end his life but wait o am just curious here; you said you knew about this from the beginning; why were you acting friendly and why the pretense?”
“youre so du*mb you know, i knew you were dating my husband right from the onset i knew he was cheating on me; i hired someone to monitor your footsteps because i don’t trust a lady that’s so obsessed over a man, she can do and undo.
I wanted to deal with him my own way not until i was informed by my agent that he deposited a camera in your car; don’t ask me how he did it. i hired a professional you know;
you succeeded in getting a guy to sneak into my husband’s compound just to tamper with his steering ; well i allowed that to happen only because iwanted to see the end of your evil plan.
I was two steps ahead of you; the following morning when my husband left to work i drove behind him incase his car got faulty;
I only wanted you to succeed with your evil plans because i wanted ray to pass through all these; atleast that will serve as a lesson to a cheating man.
“you’re joking” i was shocked but she continued.
“i had a plan b and that was to get closer to you, thank God you played along am sure you thought you were the smart one ; claiming to be his cousin, that was fun you know…you acted so well”
i got an*gry at that instance i stoodup to slap janet but she held my hand firmly
“Don’t you da*re” she warned and continued
“i called you to come to the hospital, i knew you would definitely come because you loved ray so much even after wanting him dead”
I flamed up but she kept talking.
“i wanted that closeness i knew it will help in my plans .
Janet walked around
and continued
“vivian you know if i had alerted the police immediately and they ask for evidence , i don’t think you would have r*ot in jail for a long time so i had to come here and play mind games with you and i have succeeed”
I looked around and peep through my window to see if anyone is around but i saw no one, i heaved a sigh of relieve.
“relax my dear, i’ve recorded everything in here” janet opened her purse and brought out a recorder and waved it on the air.
i was shocked i didn’t know when i fell to the ground , i told her everything because i thought she doesn’t have any evidence against me and even if i was jailed i had people that would have gotten me out but never knew she recorded everything.
“you know i really wanted to get words out of your mouth because the police wanted full evidence and it worked, listen babygirl i have recorded everything you’ve just said in here ; you can now look outside, they’re waiting for you.
I’ve told ray everything, and i have forgiven him, no need to be angry atleast he has passed through alot and that serves him right, ray is a changed man now”
The door flu*ng open, the police came in; that moment my heart skipped i stoodup.
“madam you’re under arrest for attempted mu*rder, remain silence or anything you do or say will be used against you in the court of law”
i was handcuffed immediately; tears rolled down my eyes , i should have let that family be. lilian warned me.
The police dra*gged me outside , i turned and saw ray looking so disapointed he couldn’t utter a word; am sure his heart was shattered because it was from someone he loved.
“R*ot in jail babygirl”
janet shouted and walked closer to ray and they hugged eachother and kissed.
I was pushed into the police vehicle, the driver drove off.
My name is Vivian and this my story.
THE END
