SallyThis is my story, my life. The twists and turns of a thirty-year-old woman. If you'd listen or rather read then you might just be able to imagine being in my shoes.You might be able to see and feel all that happened in my life. There's nothing worse than being in love with someone, exchanging vows with that someone, loving that someone for over ten tears only to find out that it was all a fake. Ten years of marriage was all fake.****I was on my way back home from a wedding Liz invited me to. I initially did not want to go, but after much pressure from her, I finally got dressed for the wedding.I decided to use this as an opportunity to have some fun. Having been too occupied with work for months, this was a perfect opportunity to let out some steam.We got to the church just as the ceremony was about to start. The wedding ceremony wasn't luxurious, it was rather low-key.The church was on the outskirts of town. Maybe they were a humble couple and didn't want a showy wedding.
Sally Pamela was a skinny big-eyed lady, short with very slim legs, short brown hair and a face that looked like a flattened O. Her skin colour was dark brown, and her big brown eyes looked like they were going to pop out of their socket anytime soon. It's been seven days since I attended my husband's wedding, and today, I was at a cafe with Liz. I had to leave the house to clear my head and lessen the pain I felt in my heart. We just sat there, and Liz kept whistling, trying to soothe the tense atmosphere. I hadn't done anything, I didn't go to work. I couldn't eat, I just stayed up in my room staring at the ceiling while my girls kept me company. Iris wasn't particularly happy about the fact that a stranger was living with us. She was ten and she understood what the situation was. Her sisters were either oblivious or simply just didn't care. "I think you should get a divorce, no, you're getting a divorce," Liz said. I had thought about it but I didn't want to be a d
Sally I got home late and met Cisco sitting on the balcony; Pamela was sitting on his lap. She was equally flirting with him; they were both laughing so loud that the sound of their voice felt like needles in my ears. It pained me so much to see them together. I still couldn't imagine that Cisco just threw away ten wonderful years of marriage. We even had three children! He should have at least thought about how the girls would feel. I shook my head, ignoring them and went straight into my bedroom and to bed. I'm still living in this house for revenge. Revenge! That's what's keeping me going. The next day, I was in the kitchen with Iris, preparing breakfast. I was going to play the good wife with a hidden agenda. I was just in the mood for a little evil. "Iris!" I called. Iris dropped the carrot she was chewing on and ran over to me. "Yes, Mum?" "Help me set the table " As much as I didn't want; to, I had to. She gave me a weird look. "Mum, I'm sorry, but I ca
Sally " I don't know what to do."Pam said. "why don't you find a way to contact your fiancee and tell him about your situation." I suggested. " I can't do that." She looked away. I became suspicious" And why is that ?" " Because Cisco threatened to harm him if I tried to seek his help. That's why I'm coming to you."Pam said in anguish. I furrowed my brows, something doesn't add up here." Are you trying to say that your fiancee hasn't called you for the past two weeks." " Well.... he has."she finally replied reasonably. " Soo....?what did you tell him about your whereabouts?" She sighed heavily." Cisco made me lie to him the first time he called,I told him that I was attending a distant relative's funeral in Asia and I would be back before our wedding." " Wow !!..... I have to hand it to him, he's really good at lying." "Sally you have to help me soon." She took hold of my hand again and squeezed it . "I have to get back to Nigeria for my wedding,he was already r
Sally I was getting dressed in my room, my three daughters were sitting on the bed as they watched me get dressed. I was preparing to go out with Pamela. I now regretted telling Pamela that we would talk somewhere else. The weather was So nice today and perfect for a nap, but I couldn't sleep because of my plans with Pamela. "Mum I kinda like Pamela." Mia, my second daughter, said. " I don't want you to like her, "I replied sternly. They hadn't even met properly, and Mia was the type of child who was over-friendly and jovial. " But why? Nora said she talked with her yesterday and she seemed nice." She pouted. "We just met her, she might be nice on the outside but not on the inside. Whenever I'm away, stay in your rooms till I return okay? " "Yes mum," they replied in unison. "Now help me pick a dress, do you think I Should wear black or red?" I changed the topic quickly. "Black looks pretty good to me ".Iris complimented. "Yeah me too," Mia added. " What about y
SallyIn a classy restaurant, we were seated in a private room for a VVIP session. The room was well furnished; we waited for the food to be served before talking.I adjusted on my chair "Now let's talk, tell me all you know.""Okay, um so when I went back to Nigeria, that's before Cisco came, I um." She paused, swallowing." When Cisco came to.. my home asking me to marry him, my uncle whom I'm living with agreed and he......."I furrowed my brows."Wait...your uncle agreed to someone he didn't know?" I interrupted, I really did not understand why Pamela was hesitant to speak. She talked pretty fluently yesterday and her words were genuine, but now it felt like she was being forced to speak.She was stammering every second, was she playing with me?"No, I mean Yes! He agreed and I did too."She started fidgeting with her fork."What! You agreed?" I shouted, hitting my hand on the table.It was just an exaggerated reaction so that she'll think I'm buying the bullshit she's telling
Back in the house, Iris was busy watching a cartoon on her tab when Mia came in. "Iris, please can you help me do my homework?" "Nope, as you can see, I'm busy.Besides, you're already seven, right ?So you're old enough to do your homework yourself." " Are you so busy that you can't help your sister with her homework?"Mia said ,pouting her lips. " Ugh ........just go meet Dad. I'm sure he'll help you." " I can't go alone; come with me please." "He's your dad Mia, you're not supposed to be afraid of him." "I don't know why, but ever since Aunt Pamela came, Daddy has been acting weird." " What do you mean weird?" " Daddy doesn't reply to my greetings, and the last time I asked him to do my homework, he shouted at me and told me to leave his room and never come back. He also had that alcoholic smell." " He's drinking again."Iris sighed. "Don't you think we should tell Mum?" " No, don't tell her; we're the only one who knows about it, so if any word goes out, you
SallyI went home to meet a tense atmosphere, I don't know how, but I had those icy feelings crawling up my skin as I climbed up the stairs.I entered my room after leaving Pamela in the living room to meet my girls, all sleeping on the bed. It warmed my heart and, at the same time, made me feel like the worst woman on earth. Most people won't tolerate their husbands cheating or even choose to remain in the same house as him and his whore but look at me. I sighed, tossing my bag on the side of the bed and then scrutinizing my children. I furrowed my brows.Iris was looking fine, but Mia's neck was kind of red and swollen, while Nora looked like she had been crying. I should wait till they wake up before asking them what happened and why Mia's neck was bruised."Mummy, you're back. Did you get ice cream for me?"Nora spoke, rubbing her eyes.I patted her head ."I'm sorry, Pookie. I totally forgot, but I brought something even better."She pouted ."There's nothing better than strawb
Sally I coughed and quickly covered my eyes. " I'm sorry for interrupting." I grinned. "No...no...no,you were not interrupting. I was just about to leave."Mr double H said and scrambled to his feet only to be pushed back down by Liz. " Yes! You were interrupting; I'll meet you in five." Liz said, smiling devilishly. I peeked between my fingers to take one last look at them. " I should get going now." I gave them a thumbs-up and finally left the room From behind the closed door, I could hear muffled voices. I actually pitied the poor guy for falling into the wrong hands. A few minutes later, Liz came out I didn't question her till I got into the car and started driving. " Soo...what's up with you and your new friend?" She gave me a cold look. " We're not friends, okay !" I laughed. " Then what was that all about? " " Stop getting wrong ideas, that was all nothing." She said and looked out the window, she was avoiding my gaze. "Gosh, Liz!!.... You only
Sally I grabbed my car keys and headed towards the parking lot. I had to give my statement at the precinct, and I was going alone. According to Cisco, I got her arrested so I should go alone. Last night, he didn't give me an answer. I waited and waited, and we stared at each other for like forever! His mood completely changed as soon as the police van drove out of our lawn. Cisco told me to my face that he was married to both of us, and he didn't Intend to divorce any of us, so he wasn't going to choose. It was then I realized that maybe it was hard for him to choose, that maybe he wanted me but could not let her go. But I already vowed not to share him so I wasn't going to agree with him on that. I would just wait till Pamela's case was settled then have a proper talk with him. It was actually strange that he looked kind of frustrated or rather angry. After I left him in the garden, he stayed there for way longer than expected. I even got worried and went down to check o
Sally I watched as my children fell asleep. It took a while before they finally slept off after the police left. I could sense that they were finally at peace, the relieved expression on their faces told me that they were more than happy to have Pamela gone for good. I was really surprised ....rather overjoyed at what Iris told me before going to bed. Pamela was probably planning to hide it from all of us. Iris told me she had burnt her skin with the iron. At first, I didn't believe it, but Nora and Mia both confirmed it. I had a triumphant smile on my face, knowing that my kids were able to defend themselves made me happy. At least Pamela would be groaning in pain behind bars. I just hoped the burn was big enough to leave a scar just like the little scars she left on my kids skins. Just as I finished tucking them in bed Cisco walked Into the room with a cup in his hand. I could see the steam coming out of the cup so I assumed it was a cup of
Sally The only thing I heard were screams, screams from that monster. I wasn't going to stop till I broke through her skull and forced her to eat her brains. What she did was unforgivable; I would kick her out of my house today! That was it! I would never let her stay in my house; in fact, she would spend half of her life in jail. I couldn't send Cisco to jail when he abused our children but this....I would never let this woman go free, Never! I was about to smash her head on the railing again when someone grabbed my hands and pulled me forcibly away from her. " Let me go!!!" I screamed, I knew it was Cisco who pulled me away. He was the only one strong enough to lift me. I struggled to get free from his hold, I wasn't done with Pam yet. This was just the beginning. Pamela squatted on the floor, holding her head, which was bleeding; she was crying loudly. I scoffed, this was nothing compared to what she did to my children. The mar
Sally We finally drove into our home, my mind still thinking and anticipating what would unfold in Cisco's room. I kept telling myself that I was doing this because I wanted to put on a façade, but deep down, I knew that it wasn't. My face had been red throughout the journey home I couldn't seem to get my mind off him. As soon as the car stopped, I rushed out and headed inside, grabbing the bags of gifts with me. I needed a cold bath to cool my burning cheeks before anything happened between us. I entered the sitting room and took a moment to look around. It was quiet. Maybe Pamela left the house, I wasn't so sure because I think I caught a glimpse of her car in the garage. Taking another step forward I almost toppled over. I looked down and saw that I had stepped on a sachet, and some of the creamy stuff inside it was spilt on the floor. Thank goodness I didn't fall and I was actually wearing heels! Who would throw an almost empty sachet of concealer on the
Francisco Watching her sip on the fruit juice mix we made, lightened the heavy weight in my chest a little. We had mixed different fruit extracts together ...it was actually her idea and I found it quite tasty. Just merely watching her made me feel less worried. Ever since the issue with Pamela came up, I hadn't slept properly, not of course she slept with me. It was hard to believe that she still had some effect on me just like back then. It had even become stronger. I knew very well what this was turning into, I thought I had succeeded in getting rid of my feelings for her; I even thought marrying Pamela would help, but I was wrong.....I was always wrong. Maybe if I had listened to Pamela back then and remained as a trusted friend and not let it cross the friend zone then I wouldn't have been in this kind of situation where I had to choose between my wife, another wife and money. I knew I was greedy, that was second nature to me. I mean, who wouldn't be greedy for something
Sally We finally drove home after many hours of spending time together. It wasn't what I had anticipated, to be honest. I really had a good time, but I didn't let myself get carried away by the extremely romantic atmosphere back at the restaurant. There was still some tension between us but it was manageable. I watched Cisco closely and made sure even his tiniest movement didn't escape my notice. His action seemed quite natural, though; I didn't see anything suspicious. It felt like he was actually genuine, no arriere pensee. I still didn't let my guard down even after concluding that this might just be a normal date like every other married couple do, I just wished he would stop his greedy quest and come back to us, to me. He still had access to my wealth as long as we were married, but what's getting me confused is why he's still after something that's already his. Thinking about it made my head hurt; I had to shove all misun
The old lady sighed as she watched Pamela enter her car so quickly as if she were being chased. She turned around and headed towards the bus stop to take the bus. She wondered why Pamela was so against seeing her, at least no one would suspect a thing. They couldn't just avoid each other forever. She had tried calling her several times, but she always ended the call; she even sent text messages to her, but she didn't reply to any of them. The last attempt she made to see her caused a big fight between them. She had gone to Sally's company hoping that she would perhaps see Pamela there but it turns out that she doesn't even work there. She even brought along the little boy in hopes that it would at least soften her heart and make her change her mind and return home but it all proved futile. Instead of meeting Pamela, she meets Sally, and that causes a big quarrel between Pamela and her. She had tried so hard to stop Pamela from chasing after Cisc
Pamela I rushed into my room to put on a jacket. I couldn't possibly take off my dress without the doctor's help, or I might worsen the burn. I had to get to the hospital and get back in time before Sally and her husband returned. Those brats were lucky; what I initially had in mind was to give them a taste of their own medicine. I had earlier gone into Sally's room to get the iron; I was actually waiting for it to get extremely hot. My plan was to burn their skins and make sure they peeled off; I was in pain because of Iris. I was planning to ruin her face and burn off her skin. I had to calm myself, or I would have ended up doing something that would put me in jail, and then I would lose everything. Whipping them was the best option I had, and that was a pretty good idea the only problem was that the concealer wouldn't stay forever on their skins. Their mother would probably find out sooner or later. I don't care actually...I already have a plan t
