Episode 17
“please you should leave now. Let
her be please” my mother in law
pleaded as she dutifully attended
to Jessica who managed to sit up
with great pain.
“please dear, i’m so sorry” i
apologized to her slowly, very
confused on what to do next.
“please leave right now. I beg of
you” my mother in law begged
once again. I shrugged, breathed
deeply and left without another
word.

I returned to my apartment to see
Comfort looking very worried and
scared. She heaved a sigh of relief
as she opened the door for me.
“you left me very worried and
scared. You left without telling me
where you were going” she asked
unhappily. I ignored her, went to
my bedroom, undressed, took a
quick shower and retired to my
bed for a cool night rest. She
however showed up minutes later
to disturb me.
Comfort walked into my room,
turned on the lights and sat beside
me on the bed. I stared back at
her, saying nothing.
“are you not hungry?” she asked,
placing her right hand on my
chest.
“no i’m not” i answered coldly.
“i want to be sharing the same bed
with you” She suddenly muttered,
shocking me with her words.
“it’s for the baby. Don’t tell me
you don’t understand” she added,
forcing me up with her words. I
quickly sat up and stared at her
with disgust.
“don’t be ridiculous” i breathed.
“c’mon” she scoffed.
“my mother is coming over
tomorrow to stay with me. So
better start preparing your mind
about the new plans she’s going to
make for you” i said with a smile,
unsettling her with the revelation.
She drew back with shock, frowned
and quickly smiled to conceal her
feelings. But i wasn’t a kid. I knew
the last thing she wanted was my
mother’s presence.
“so how do we go about getting
your job back?” she suddenly
asked, changing the topic. I
breathed deeply , stared at her for
some seconds before replying.
“i have the contact of one Mr
Moses, he works for Vanguard
newspaper. The same paper that
covered our story very vigorously.
I will invite him over to come chat
with you. All you have to tell him
is that i never took advantage of
you. That we were dating before i
left the country for my masters
degree. When i returned, we
continued the affair, not minding i
was married to another lady.
Anyway we have all of tomorrow
to go through the story” i said
easily.
“and you think it’s going to be
convincing?, remember i’m in your
house.” she asked curiously.
“don’t worry, just go to bed. We
have all of tomorrow to plan
things” i answered with a smile.
She shrugged, got up and left
without another word.
___
As early as 6am the next day, i
was in my father in law’s house to
see if i could talk to Jessica one
more time. I badly needed to
settle things with her and put my
mind at ease.
Jessica and her mum were already
set to head out of the city when i
arrived. They really were in the
process of getting into one of the
family cars when i showed up, and
of course they were very surprised
to see me.
“my love please don’t leave
without at least hugging me.
Please” i begged as i advanced
towards them. Jessica stared at me
and waited, while her mum went
ahead and got into the car.
“my love, please just a hug. I need
it” i begged solemnly. She stared
at me for some seconds, breathed
deeply, drew close and hugged
me, settling my spirit.
“my love, i’m going to return with
your son. I love you. Please don’t
let me down” she breathed with
great passion, broke away from
me, and quickly joined her mother
in the chauffeur driven car which
sped off immediately. I was close
to tears as i watched the car sped
away…
“i pray you return with my son” i
prayed with great emotion.
