CHAPTER TWELVEMICHAELBefore the guys arrived, I needed to do something. I know my guys and they knew me. If care wasn’t taken, they would know that I was not in a real marriage and I needed to make this façade I was in look real. I just didn’t know how well Tina will cooperate. As we started washing the used utensil, waiting for the jollof rice to cook, I asked her if she was okay with my friends knowing about our current situation or if she wanted us to pretend that we were a loving couple. She told me we shouldn’t let others see our dirty laundry so we should pretend. I knew we she would say that.“So, you will be okay with me touching you and all that because, we are newlyweds and we should act all lovey dovely.” I asked.“Um okay.” She said.“It will just be till they are gone and I will leave right after.” I said to ease her.“Okay.”“Let’s practice now so that we won’t be awkward later. What do you say?” I asked carefully.“Okay I guess.” Not really sure of what she was sayin

CHAPTER ELEVENMIKEI was done with all these petty fight and hateful words. I had had enough of this. fighting for something you know you can win is entirely different from fighting for something or someone who doesn’t even want you. That is just a losing battle.

I didn’t see anything I had that made me stand out among the two of us. Truth be told, she deserved better and I knew it.

CHAPTER TENTINAGetting inside my office, I asked my manager to hire a lawyer for me. My manager was very good at his job so I trusted that he would get me a good lawyer. I wonder if I have to pay this lawyer every month or I have to pay him when he does something worth his pay. I love spending on food stuffs but I don’t like spending on things I don’t see necessary. Thinking about it again, I thought of calling back my manger and asking him to stop but before I could do that, he said he had already contacted someone and the lawyer will come over the next week. My manager is too efficient, note the sarcasm.I took my mind off it just like I had taken my mind off my current predicament. I concentrated on what I was supposed to do for the day and when I was done for the day, I wondered where I was supposed to go. Should I go to my new home or go back to my own house. I got inside my car and went to my own house. Getting there, I realized that the door wasn’t locked. I panicked because

CHAPTER NINEMICHAELI sat down on the red leather coach in the living room staring at the 64 inches led screen, wondering how I got here. The tv wasn’t on because I didn’t want any noise and I doubted I would be able to concentrate on anything at the moment. I just wanted a peace of mind. One of the reasons why I didn’t want to marry was that I didn’t want a woman to come into my life to disturb me and, here I was. I was married to a woman who wanted nothing to do with me. My God, this was not what I prayed for. It wasn't that I didn’t want my wife to talk to me and have a conversation with me, I just didn’t want a nagging woman. I am aware I said I could cook for myself so I didn’t need a woman to do that but, I am currently married to a famous chef and I was actually expecting breakfast. I mean she also has to eat right? What was so wrong in me asking her that simple question? All she had to do was cook for herself and add a little more to what she would cook so that I could also

I could have injured her and I knew mother knew that I would never do that to her."Must you make me marry someone I don’t know? Someone you don’t even know? Someone I don’t love and would never love? Someone I hate more than anything right now? Don’t you care for me anymore? Doesn’t my happiness matter anymore? Why in God’s name are you so adamant about this? tell me, what at all did he give you to make you go through all these lengths just to make me marry him? what has he done to you or for you force this on me?” I broke down and started to cry.
