Episode 13
I roughly grabbed Comfort,
opened my apartment and
dragged her inside.
“what are you doing here?, how
many people saw you?, why are
you so keen in destroying my
life?” i asked angrily. She drew
back and shrugged.
“my parents threw me out, i have
no where else to go. Don’t you see
my condition?” she muttered,
touching her stomach and smiling
confidently.
I bit my lips as i stared at her
with rage. I was so confused on
what to do with her. Her presence
was very much unexpected.
“i feel like killing you right now” i
breathed.
“c’mon you very much know that
i’m very useful to you alive than
dead. So stop the wishes, let’s talk
something better” she said with a
mockery tone that pushed my
patience to the edge. I grabbed
her by the throat, pushing her
against the wall and tightening
my grip as if i was about
strangling her to dead. She tried
to struggle but my grasp only got
stronger. Tears quickly fell from
her eyes, forcing me to release my
hold a bit which gave her the
opportunity to breathe.
“i have lost everything already.
Killing you won’t change a thing”
i threatened murderously.
“Everyone is being so hard on me.
My parents, my friends, your wife.
Even you. We made this mistake
together. I’m also a human being.
I have feelings. I want a good
life” she sobbed.
“will killing me turn your life
around. Will it make you happy?.
I’m pregnant. I’m sick. I’m tired
of life. I haven’t even eaten since
morning. You are not the only one
that lost something” she added
with a broken voice, leaving me
with no choice than to release my
hold on her. I breathed deeply
and backed her.
“where is your wife?” she asked
softly.
“she’s staying with her parents” i
answered.
“i don’t mind being your house
girl, so long as i’m with you. You
are the father of this child i’m
carrying. And you very much know
you have some roles to play for
me and the baby. It’s not all
about money” she added.
“you aren’t staying in this house. I
will get a good self contained
room for you. At least i can still
afford it” i breathed coldly. She
said nothing, instead went and
settled down on my couch. An
action that provoked me once
again.
I left the house for her and went
in search of some estate agents i
had their contacts but
unfortunately none of them had
any self contained room available.
The one i managed to see was in
campus vicinity. A place that
wasn’t favourable to me. I came
back home late in the evening
very tired and aghast.

7:10pm, Caleb’s Apartment
I returned home to find Comfort
in the kitchen. My stomach
growled as i perceived the aroma
of fried plantain and well cooked
rice. At first i stared at her angrily
but couldn’t get myself to shout at
her because i was very hungry.
“i’m sorry for being in your wife’s
kitchen. I couldn’t find any
prepared food, so i decided to
prepare one” she explained as
soon as she noticed my presence.
But before i could get to say
anything, my phone rang and it
was Jessica calling.
“hey my love what’s up. You
promised to call me when you get
back to the city but you didn’t. Is
everything alright?” she asked.
“i’m sorry my dear. I’m just
getting home now. My car broke
down on the way. Faulty gear
box” i lied.
“hmmm, you sound so tense. Are
you okay?” she asked.
“yes i’m fine” i replied nervously.
“my love i know you very well.
You are not sounding fine. Did
anything happen in the village.
Are you hiding something from
me?” she asked once again,
forcing me to lie one more time.
An action i regretted from the
bottom of my heart.
I felt telling my wife about
Comfort’s presence in the house
was a very bad idea because it
would definitely raise her blood
pressure and leave her totally
down and sick. Something her
doctor advised against.. Moreover
i wasn’t going to allow Comfort to
stay more than two days with me.
So i never saw it necessary
troubling the poor lady with such
news.
Unfortunately things never went
as i wanted. I woke up in the
middle of the night to hear
Comfort coughing and calling my
name. I ran to the guest room to
see her vommitting. Her body
temperature very high.
