HIS SECRET WIFE 78. SACRIFICES
HENDRIX’S P.O.V. ‘The first son can’t have tainted goods so I am left drawing the short end of the stick.’ I could not shake that thought away days after being forced into this situation. It left a bad taste in my mouth. How easy it was for the responsibility to be thrown at me after her parents stated that she had a child. Their exact words were ‘She is ruined, she is tainted, and has carried another man’s child’. How could a man utter such words about his daughter? I turned, not that I was any better. The groan nearly escaped as I forced my eyes to stay closed, trying with everything in me to at least get two hours of sleep. If I wasn’t thinking about one of the very worst days of my life, ‘my wedding’, then my thoughts ran back to how baby Blue was barely responsive. The scene would haunt me for months. The way his body was so hot as if he would erupt. Holding them in my arms, both of them seeming to be at death’s gate, would haunt me.I shook my head once again, internally groa

BRANDY“You are getting married in three days.” Three days later and I still couldn’t believe it. Have you ever been stuffed in a car? Four bulky men stuffing me in the backseat of the car like a filling in a turkey. I did not know if to scream, cry or laugh, shocked to the core. “Brandy, It’s not that bad.” My sister Beaula said, and I could hear the lie, ripping a shiver from me. “Well, she shouldn’t have eaten so much if she wanted to look good for her wedding.” “I doubt she even thought she would marry.” Anna chuckled, our eyes caught on the review mirror. I had barely dropped my bags in my room when the news were sprung on me and Anna was right, I never thought I would ever see the day when someone called me their wife. The revelation had left me scattered in confused emotions. For one, a thing I had never thought would happen to me was happening, and secondly, I was being married off without my consent. “Be nice.” Emily threw daggers at Anna before she ran her hands dow

I felt him as he got near. All hairs in my body soared up with his approach and I wanted to run out yet my legs failed me. My brain short circuited and it was when a hand firmly grabbed me that I snapped from the shock but the fear slapped me dead faced. The hand was foreign. The grip was so tight it was like he wanted to break my hand. A pull told me he wanted me forward so I quickly moved up and nearly tripped on the stupid dress that was too hot. My father was gone, just a stranger before me but to be honest they were all strangers. He pulled me to the position he wanted me and the tension in the room told you that this wasn’t a happy wedding. This wasn’t a wedding at all, it was a funeral, mine. All I saw were dress shoes, such large dress shoes!He was tall, way taller than me. The man was bulky, ‘crush me with his thumb’ bulky. The air about him preceded danger, so much danger. His cologne was strong, expensive, and smelled deadly too. At that point everything about him

Tiles so sparkly they looked like glass. Eerie silence greeted my ears, two guards at my side but they didn’t step further in because a lady in a uniform stood with a bowed head. The security was tight, so many guards canvasing the grounds. I wondered if the house would be my new home. Somehow, I was disappointed it was so near to my dad’s house. “Ma’am.” The woman greeted, she looking to be around her late thirties or early forties. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail so tight it gave her a painful facelift. Her hands were clasped together, posture strong but slightly bent in a respectful manner. “Hello.” My voice came out so firm I was grateful. “Would you like me to show you to your room?” She asked. “I would appreciate it.” I said with her quickly turning and led me to an elevator. It was my first time seeing an elevator in a house. Actually, it was my first time being in a house that did not belong to my father. Reflective glass was all that surrounded us until we step

STORMAll that could be heard was the sound of our fast patting feet as we marched through the quiet halls to the door. My father and I took the steps two at a time, our cars waiting with the doors opened wide for us. “Come in for a second.” I followed my father into his car, the door closing us in the dark confinement. “Are you sure you don’t want to switch?” I thought over my father’s words and chewed on them but I was too tired to even think. “As much as it was to Madroi’s favor, he didn’t have to give us the ugly one, any of the other girls would do. I can get him to switch with one of the older sisters.” A sigh pulled from me, sitting back and closing my eyes. The image of my new wife drifted into my head and a shiver ran through my body but I had more important issues to worry about so I couldn’t spend more time there. “No father, she is fine.” I said , sitting up and turning to stare at the man I looked up to for so long but I was not sure if I still did. He seemed to

BRANDYDeath came for me in the shape of a loud blurring sound. I groaned out loudly, the throb in my head deadly itself. As I drifted more into consciousness, the pain grew and the sound grew impossibly irritating. “Can you move?” A voice came, so near. I groaned again, wanting to move but my body felt like concrete. It was a debate between switching the alarm off or staying exactly where I was and the alarm soon gave me no choice. “Hell.” I groaned out, nausea hitting me hard and taking my mind from the hard object poking my abdomen. I rolled so fast jumping out of bed to stop and bend as the room span so hard. There was no escaping it so I hit with all fours and quickly crawled away to the bathroom where I threw up in the toilet bowl. The smell of wine hit hard and it smelled fermented and awful. I quickly flushed, feeling a bit lighter. A heave pulled from me, my hair sticking to my forehead. I crawled to the sink, pulling myself up before I rinsed my mouth then brushed
Last Updated : 2024-04-11HIS SECRET WIFE 6. SHE HAS TO GO
STORMMy wife was a strange creature.I didn’t know if to be angry or amused. I knew women who could shop but never fifteen thousand dollars in six hours. My eyes were still wide. Of course it was nothing to me but still, a tough pill to swallow. She had no care, moving her head and shoulders as she drew on her iPad and typed on her laptop. In a way she looked in a zone, absorbed. What was she doing? I tried to recall the little I knew about her only to recall a name. Her hair was better, her face not bad. A frown was inched deep in my face, being disturbed by a text buzzing my phone. I snapped back to work. I had to bare five more hours before getting to the house to sleep. I was at my sleep deprived breaking point, barely concentrating. Once again I found my eyes on the creature I was tied to. Her hand was greedy, crumbs on the corner of her lips as she chewed only for her to take another large bite at her pie. She loved food, just devouring it all to take a cookie next. M

BRANDYSomething was poking me. I quickly scrambled up, ready to fight. Music blurred, vision blurry with everything aching on my body. I pushed up, pulling the headphones from my ears, leaving them throbbing from the abuse. “Shit.” I huffed out. “We are leaving at six, be ready with your packed bag.” I jumped, turning around to find a huge man standing next to me. I couldn’t help but scurry back only to stop and realize he was my husband. I was married now. I sighed, a hand running over my face. I felt as bad as he looked. His under eyes weren’t better at all, as if he hadn’t slept at all. “Okay. I will borrow a packing bag though since I doubt you will be landing me your card anytime soon?” I gave him an eye, testing my luck in case he changed his mind and gave me the card again. My smile wasn’t returned, Husband turning and walking away. He looked pissy as hell, leaving me fearful for those who would spend the day with him. “Have a great day!” I screamed as the door cl

HIS SECRET WIFE 77. BEGGING DEATH
I drifted into consciousness, every part of my body aching. My eyes were swollen and burning. Rubbing them only made it worse. My head was pounding, a groan escaping my lips as I pushed up from the awkward position I was in. ‘What happened?’ I pressed my hand to the side of my head as if that would make it hurt less. I turned, the room so dark. I pushed forward to turn on the side lamp. I was still in my clothes, I must have passed out. Then it hit and I turned so fast my waist nearly snapped into half. Wild eyes scanned the bed. My heart stopped and I swear I died for a second as my eyes lay on bed. Blue had fallen over from the position I had sat him in. He lay on his stomach. I jumped and picked him up only to gasp, his body burning hot. He was as light as a paper and as I turned him, I found his face red, eyes closed, a trail of tears left on his cheeks. “Blue?” I placed my hand on his chest and shook, getting no response. No. No. No. He was too light, his head rolling bac
HIS SECRET WIFE 76. A NEW LOW
Mr Williams was the first to push his chair back and stand up. The room was left in deadly silence with my heart so loud I was afraid they would all hear it drum wildly. I was scared that somehow I was glued to the chair, a chill running through my body and leaving me cold. It took minutes to process the words and from there my mind was thrown into a whirlwind. Around me, I could barely register the chairs being pushed back, and the people in the room standing up to leave. What I had been waiting for since the beginning of the dinner suddenly seemed unreachable. There was no way my legs could carry me. I did not know what to do? I was defeated, my brain running to different directions and hitting a wall. I could barely register the hand on my shoulder, just staring ahead, trying to find a way out. If I ran away, how far could I go? Where would I go? With a child, it would leave me homeless in the streets. “Daphne, assist my wife to my room.” I heard the words and they just rang in
HIS SECRET WIFE 75. FINAL WARNING
When the chair to my right was pulled I nearly fainted. My body was having multiple chemical reactions all at once, making my palms sweaty. “Thank you, Brenda.” And I watched as my husband slipped into the chair next to mine, his thick thighs covered by navy blue suit pants, seeing the flap of his matching jacket which he soon pulled off, draping it at the back of his seat with such grace. “Wife,” My hand froze behind Blue’s back, hoping Hendrix hadn’t seen it. Words were beyond my capabilities for that night, not able to offer a greeting back. His voice was firm and washed over me like a blanket. “Mother, Sir, Henry. My apologies for being late.” I felt safe, I felt as if I had been handed Captain America’s shield. I finally had the courage to push my head up, thankfully because my neck had been killing me. A cologne hit my nostrils. It made sense coming from him. Somehow I had got it from the source but it smelt better from the owner. Slowly, I shifted my gaze past my husban
HIS SECRET WIFE 74. MY HUSBAND IS HOME
It was exactly four pm when a knock came at the door. I was used to this by then, even dared to look forward to what I was getting. Things were not as bad, something was bound to give. I perched Blue on the bed and rushed to the door, cracking it slightly open before I peaked my head out, getting some relief when I saw that it was two members of the staff. I opened the door ajar, taking note they were not carrying anything. “Good afternoon Ma’am, the master has invited you to dinner tonight at seven pm, at the dining room.” The lady finished with a slight bow. “We will come to escort you.” The other lady added before also bowing and like that they turned and made their way back. I closed the door in a state of shock. Well, I knew the day would come. I was just not prepared for it. I had three hours to make an escape plan. Why did they invite me? Could it just be them extending an olive branch?Maybe this was good. They were my family now, I had to make nice. But I was not that n
HIS SECRET WIFE 73. SHORT END OF THE STICK
Hendrix did not come back that night and the next. At that point I was dizzy and weak. Walking out of the room would soon become a need. I kept telling myself ‘one more day’, as if that would make them forget I was harbouring a whole baby in their home.On the fourth day a knock came from the door.“Can we clean the room ma’am?”I reluctantly unlocked the door and walked to sit on the couch with Blue. I watched them change the sheets and blankets, took out the trash and the laundry. The floors were scrubbed clean, no part of the room except the couch I sat on was left uncleaned.Just as they were gathering their equipment I stood and walked closer.“Can you com
HIS SECRET WIFE 72. IN HIDING
I could not help the soft laugh that escaped. Sprawled on the floor, having gone through all the paper bags. Once again I was in tears, shaking hand over my mouth. Hendrix bought different brands and different sizes of diapers because he was not sure which was suitable. A large pile of clothes and baby products sat next to me. He even bought different kinds of formulas and a machine to which I unboxed and pulled out the manual to weep even more. It was a baby formula making machine. Warmth spread in my chest, not sure how I could thank him. Knowing my baby was hungry, I did not waste anymore time. I plugged the machine to an outlet and read through the instructions. I got water and put in the said scoops then stood back and watched the baby bottle fill slowly. When I was sure everything was going as it should, I took my baby to the bathroom and gave him a proper bath. I oiled his skin, brushed his soft hair and got him warmly dressed. For once we had toys. I scattered them on the fl
HIS SECRET WIFE 71. ON MY OWN
I did not dare leave that bathroom. I wrapped my son in a gown and settled in a corner, him patched to my chest. In my head I kept playing the scene of me nudging Hendrix and grabbing Blue. The guilt did not lower and it felt as if I would die from it. It did not allow me an ounce of sleep. The sun rose and the smell told me Blue needed a change. I pushed up, my body aching as if I was run through by a truck. I filled the tub with water then attempted to undress Blue on the closed toilet seat. It was then I realized I had nothing with me. It was then I realized I had no diapers, I had no clothes for my child or any of his toiletries. Everything had been left back at home. The realization left me drained. What was I going to do? I did not have a single penny on me and even if I did, how would I buy the things I needed? I pushed up, hands on my waist, staring down at Blue in defeat. No one said motherhood would be so hard. Storm’s words echoed in my head but I pushed them awa
HIS SECRET WIFE 70. THE FIRST NIGHT
While my husband took a shower I quickly looked for a place I could put Blue. The floor won, not risking him rolling off the chair at night. I took the cushions and made a boundary for him. I dared take the throw blanket on the bed and folded it before laying it on the floor. If Hendrix decided to crucify me for going into his closet then I would face his wrath head on. I looked through the shelves until I saw the spare blankets. I took one, rushing back before he came out of the bathroom. I wrapped my baby with the blanket before lowering him to the makeshift bed. I could not take my eyes off him, scared something would happen. My shoes were kicked off and I sat on the chair right in front of Blue. I folded my legs up on the chair and lay my head on my knees, staring at him sleep. He looked so small as if to be swallowed by the blanket. Was it normal for one year olds to be that tiny? He was barely putting any weight on, as light as a feather. I chewed on my bottom lip. If I gave
