WIFE MATERIAL
Episode 6
One week later, Ikenna and his wife resumed work at their different workplaces.
They would leave together in the morning after having breakfast. Ikenna would drop his wife at her workplace before leaving for his. In the evening, he would go and pick her up after work and they would go home together.
A few days later, Ikenna was in his office going through some files on his desk when his phone started ringing. He checked his phone and it was Sandra. He refused to pick up the call. Her calls came in several times but he didn’t pick up.
Later that day, after the close of work, Ikenna went to pick up his wife at her workplace.
When he got there, he saw her standing outside and already waiting for him.
Amara got closer, opened the car and entered.
“Good evening baby,” Amara greeted her husband.
“Good evening My love, how was work today?”
“Fine and yours?”
“Good,” Ikenna replied and drove off.
Some minutes later, they got to their house and both alighted.
Amara quickly left for the bedroom and changed. She entered the kitchen as her husband was entering the bedroom.
“My love, I can’t wait to taste that food. You never disappoint with cooking.”
Amara smiled.
“Thanks, baby,” she said from the kitchen.
Later on, Ikenna was in the bedroom going through his laptop while Amara was getting the dining table ready for the already-prepared dinner.
Suddenly the doorbell started ringing.
She looked up at the wall clock and it was a few minutes past 10 pm.
“Who could this be, at this time of the night?” she said and left for the door.
She opened the door and saw a lady with heavy makeup and in a skimpy dress. She was carrying a travelling bag and a handbag.
“Good evening madam,” Amara greeted.
Sandra started gazing at her without replying.
“I’m here to see Ikenna,” she later said.
“Ikenna? Please who are you?”
“I’m his girlfriend and I came to spend the night here.”
“Spend the night where? In my house?”
“My friend get out of my way,” Sandra shouted while pushing her aside and forcing herself in.
Ikenna heard the noise and ran out
“My love, what’s going on there?”
“I don’t know what this lady is talking about.”
He came closer and saw Sandra with bags and was dumbfounded.
He turned to his wife.
“My love, wait here let me handle this.”
Amara stepped aside.
He then turned to Sandra.
“Let’s go outside and talk.”
“What’s the meaning of this nonsense?”
“Can we go outside?”
He persuaded her more and she moved out with her bags.
Amara then went and sat on a couch in the living room.
Her husband closed the door behind them.
“Who is she?” Sandra angrily asked.
“My wife,” Ikenna replied.
“Your wife? Since when?”
“Over a month.”
“Really, you suddenly went and got married when I was away. You used and dumped me, right.”
“Don’t ever say that. We both benefited from each other. Besides, I never promised to marry you. You can move on with your life.”
Tears started dropping from Sandra’s eyes.
“You are heartless Ikenna. I should move on with my life. I will never forgive you,” she said and angrily left.
Ikenna turned and went back to the house.
Amara was seated in the living room still waiting for him.
“Baby, what’s going on? She said she was your girlfriend.”
“Whose girlfriend? She’s the one forcing herself on me. Someone who’s wayward, I don’t even like her. We were just friends like you and Paul.”
“Why will she claim she was your girlfriend?”
“You know how some girls behave, just because I’m being nice to her. She thought I was doing it for a purpose.”
“Okay.”
“Forget that drama. I need to have a taste of the food with this sweet aroma.”
“Alright, let me get the food.”
She stood up and left for the kitchen.
