Immediately Richard agreed to Stella's request to employ Tochuckwu as her driver, she passed a call to him when she got to the office and told him about the news. "Come in," Stella replied in regard to the knock on the door."Good morning, ma." Tochuckwu greeted as he walked inside."Ehiy! That was so quick, I called you just now and you are here already," Stella said as she picked up her phone to check her call logs and she confirmed that she called him a minute ago."Hmm! Let's just say I was expectant. I have been checking my phone from time to time expecting your call. Boom, your call came through, so why should I hesitate? especially when it's my first day at work." "Oh! wow.""Yes, ma." He said with a bow. Stella gave him a long stare making him tilt his head in confusion."Is there anything on my face ma?" He asked rubbing his palm on his face."No, not at all. I was just thinking about something. I'm sure you will agree with me when I say this will be awkward. You know?" S

A few weeks after Tochuckwu started working with Stella, rumors began to fly around about Stella Jacob having extramarital affairs. At first, Stella did not pay much attention to it, because she believed she was not doing anything wrong and there was no need to be worried about such misconception. "Babe, when last did you log into your social media accounts?" Richard questioned all of a sudden, making Stella glance back at him. "Hmm! Yesterday, I think. Yeah, yesterday." "You haven't logged in at all today?" "Yes, I was busy all through. Why are you asking this question all of a sudden?" "Babe, come and see this." Richard blurted out making her drop the cloth she was arranging on the bed to check what he was talking about. "Uh! What's it?" She questioned. "Just come and see with your eyes." He prompted. Stella walked up to him and peeped into his phone. "What?" She exclaimed in utter disbelief. "Who made up this story?" She questioned staring at Richard. "Are you asking

Amidst the incident that caused an uproar on the internet, Stella was compelled to go live on her official page to clear whatever misconceptions the post has triggered. Of course, few people believed her and a lot of them did otherwise. It was indeed a tough time for her, she was forced to stop Tochuckwu from working with her for the main time since it was the architect of whatever problem the post caused."Babe, I just received a mail from Mr. Williams. He is inviting me to his annual marriage conference as a guest speaker." Stella uttered in bewilderment as she glanced through the message again. "Wow! When is the conference?""On the 24th of this month, that's in one week time. No way! I am not going anywhere, I will rather decline the invitation." "Huh! Why?" Richard questioned raising his brow."No, I am not going to any seminar for now, most of these people inviting me to their program find it easy to believe that post without waiting to hear my side of the story.

Within twenty minutes, Richard was already at Lagos University Teaching Hospital."Good evening, I'm here to see the patient that was rushed here a few minutes ago." He said to the nurse at the reception counter."Oh! You're related to the patient right?" "Yes.""Good! You will have to see the doctor first." "Oh my... Hope my wife is fine." He asked with a look of doubt and fright on his face."Yes, sir, they're in safe hands already."

"Ehiy! you came late, I'm mad at you." Stella said with a frown Immediately Richard stepped inside her ward. "I am sorry, babe, I had to complete my work at the office before coming down here and the traffic congestion too made the matter worse." He replied as he moved closer to her and placed a soft kiss on her cheeks."Yeah, whatever! I'm sick and tired of this place. I want to go home." She said grumpily, placing her pillow so close to her chest and hugging it. "Yeah, we are leaving this place right away." "Okay, let me go say goodbye to Mr. Tochuckwu." "Yeah, let's go together then," he replied. Stella hopped down from the bed and they both strolled out of the ward. "Hi, Mr. Tochuckwu, Good Evening." They greeted in unison as they got to his ward. "Evening, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob. You're leaving already?" He queried. "Yeah, I'm leaving." "Ouh! I hope to get out of this place too soon." He said with a sulk.

As Stella was heading to the grocery store that morning, she decided to stop at Tochuckwu's place and drop off the already packaged food she prepared for him. She came up with that plan since he was not fit enough to prepare his food by himself then she thought it would be better if she can help him with breakfast once in a while. As she stepped out of the car, she walked towards the main gate, after placing a few knocks, the gatekeeper opened the gate and they exchanged pleasantries. "Who is there?" She heard the feminine voice from the other side as she placed a knock on his door. "Who could that be? Maybe one of his family members," she mulled over as she waited for someone to open the door, though she didn't inform Tochuckwu that she will be stopping by. The door creaked open, revealing that familiar face, she was quite surprised by who she saw. The lady standing before her was tying a white towel across her chest with a turban on her head as if she was about to take her

She questioned rolling her eyeballs. "Yes, he has been rushed to the hospital just now. His nanny said he slumped on his way to the bathroom." "Okay." "Come on, babe, don't tell me you are not concerned about this matter." " Why should I be bothered? That's your palaver, so you people should sort it out without calling me." "Stella, why now? Must you act hostile to him every time? why don't you just consider him for once and be concerned about his well-being." "Please, Richard, telling me this won't solve anything, don't stress yourself." "Whatever! He's at St. Nicholas hospital once you're ready, you can come and check on him. Bye."

~Recap" My God! What did we do to deserve all these from you? What was our offense?" Richard questioned in disbelief."I'm sorry I don't know, I was just following the instructions given to me.""Who instructed you?""Bella. Bella Jonathan did.""What!""Yes, Bella. Everything was Bella's plan, I only helped her to carry out the plan.""What!" They exclaimed in unison."No, this is not true. Impossible! I don't believe any of this. Why will Bella even do this to me?" Stella questioned, refusing to believe what Tochukwu just divulged. Richard did not find it hard to speculate, he has a gut feeling against Tochukwu right from time and he was aware of the obsessed love Bella has for him, but he never think Bella could take it to this extent.No! This is outrageous.""I see no reason why I should lie, the last thing I can do right now is to uncover the truth. And yes, this is true, you deserve to know the truth.

The news hit them like a huge bomb, it was too complex to take in. Of course, they had their doubt and were strongly against such news that it was far from being possible. They went to another standard Hospital just to confirm the uncanny revelation but unfortunately, the result was the same.Richard and the kids were compelled to conduct the test just to clear all their doubts but strangely, they tested Negative which means Stella is the only one with the deadly disease. How she contracted the virus was baffling at first, but after different investigations were made, it was traced back to the one-night stand she had with Tochukwu, which revealed that she got the deadly transmitted disease from him. "Ha! All this misfortune for ten minutes pleasure? I'm doomed!" Stella lamented biting her fingers in regret, wishing she could change back the hand of time to amend things. It was hard for her to accept the fact that she was truly an HIV patient, never in her wildest dreams has she e

Stella's entire body was in the blaze as several thoughts ran through her head. To say she was confused would be an understatement; one voice was supporting the idea, the other was defying, and another one was taking both sides. Her heart kept thumping with great ounce as if she was having a heart seizure. Yet, a rain of hot tears gushed down heavily from her eyes. Without giving it a second thought, she darted back and scampered to where her father was sitting. Went down on her knees, hugged his legs, and placed her head on his knees."Father, I'm sorry.""I'm so..rry.""I'm sorry." This was the only sentence that escaped Stella's lip."No, Stella. Please forgive me, I have wronged you, wreak havoc on your life, and caused you pain. I don't know if there is still space in your heart for you to set me free?" Mr. Busari voiced, with tears trickling down his cheeks.They remained in that position, pouring out their encaged emotions. The only sound that could be heard was Stella's huf
For Better or For Worse Confusion
As Stella stepped out of the car, she stood transfixed on a point contemplating whether she was making the right decision. Coming to the house that haunted her does not seem like a good idea but then, Richard stood his ground reiterating that if she was not ready to come there then definitely he was not going to discuss anything with her again even though he was fully aware of the pains this vicinage caused her. "Well, I'm ready to do anything to save my marriage and if it means coming to this place then I am ready.""I have got to try this, without further ado," she muttered and with that, she walked towards the gate. After pressing the doorbell, a few seconds later the door creaked open revealing a young lady probably In her early thirties."Hi, good morning.""Oh! Miss Stella, Good evening, ma." the lady greeted with a smile plastered on her face. "Yes, ma'am, please, is Richard in?

They waited eagerly at the reception for the doctor to step out of the ward where Janice was been treated. Stella sat down at the far edge of the chair, her head dropped down in sorrow. Richard was pacing around, while Bella just froze to a point not knowing what to do. They were all on tenterhooks.After several minutes of waiting restively, the doctor walked out making all of them jolt out of their worry land. "Doctor, how is my baby?" Stella was the first to throw the question at him."Hmm, we thank God, she's stable for now," he replied simply."Oh! Thank you, Jesus." Stella exclaimed jumping up in relief."For now?" Richard questioned as he reasoned on the doctor's reply."Yeah, thank God she was brought here quickly before the matter got worse, she lost a lot of blood as a result of the shock she went through. Right now, we need to donate blood to her.""Doctor, I'm available."Stella volunteered, stepping forward."But, you're pregnant, ma'am. You're not eligible." The d

"I am sorry about the news, sir." Bella blurted, breaking the deafening silence between them as they were riding back home in Richard's car. "What news?" He befuddled."About the scandal that surfaced last night, I mean about your family..." "Oh!" He murmured in a low voice. "Yeah, it's sad and those mendacious bloggers have made a compulsive, heart-rending story out of it. They're the sole reason why this is trending.""That's not even the problem, I wonder who has been prying into our family matter and then taking it over to social media. This is not the kind of life I want for myself, I cannot even walk freely; you'd see them pointing at me and saying all sorts of filthy things. Honestly, I'm tired, confused, and..."

The following day, Richard was in his office busy sorting out his work that afternoon when a knock came through on his door."Come in," he ushered."Good afternoon, sir," Bella greeted immediately as she stepped in. "Oh, Bella! I never knew you came to work today, I thought your manager gave you leave?" He asked quite surprised because she just lost her father."Yes, she did sir, but I don't want to stay at home. I am not used to that kind of lifestyle and staying alone will make me start thinking of uncanny things.""Yeah, I think you're right. Hope you're doing well.""Yes, sir, I'm fine.""Hmm, it's lunchtime already, I guess you're busy, sir?" she asked with a slight grin. "Erhm, not really, I'm just trying to round up with this."

Everyone who came to the burial rite was dressed in black outfits as they came to mourn with Bella over the death of her father.Just a few of her colleagues at work and Maria's long distant family were there. Bella looked awful and miserable, her eyes were puffy and swollen as a result of too many tears running out of her eyes. She couldn't stop the tears from flowing, as she watched them place him six feet below. She strode forward, clutched the shovel, and pour little sand on it. "Accept my heartfelt condolences," Richard muttered as he walked towards her occupying the sit beside her. Maria stood up and excused them. "Thank you, sir." She muttered sniffing."Please that's enough, cry no more. Life is a bale of tears and losing our loved ones is part of life right?"
