HIS SECRET WIFE 93. EXTORTION
“How is my son?” My hands clenched and unclenched, my stomach turning and threatening to spill out everything I had eaten. And I just stood there, leaning against the sink, just staring at him in disbelief. The lowest of people that would ever walk this earth. His beauty was a facade for the rotten person inside. There was no one I hated more in life. The worst scum and my worst mistake. I found myself heaving in nothing but hate. “How old is he now?” Damon stepped closer and I pressed back to the sink, my mind rattling. I could not believe he was here. I could not believe he had the audacity to even ask me about Blue. How many times had I called him asking for help for his son? At first he wouldn’t pick up then he would let his fucking girlfriend pick up. She would throw every insult known to man yet I would hold on until she was done because my baby needed supplies which he as the father had the means to provide but he chose not. He had made so many promises only to turn and

My eyes opened and I froze, blinking a few times to clear the fatigue away. My heart skipped a beat before it settled and I forced myself not to move an inch. My fingers itched but I was afraid I would wake him if I shifted. Never in my life had I slept with a man in bed, not counting my brother. My face was just a few inches from him, feeling his warmth, feeling his alcoholic breath on my skin. I did not mind that the scent was so heavy it was as if the alcohol was pouring from his pores. It should have left me cringing in disgust but I was in a trap because I had never seen a grown man as beautiful as him. He looked so innocent in his sleep, so angelic. His skin looked so smooth, his lips perched out, wet and pink. Our feet were entangled, his arm heavy on my hip where he held me directly on my skin because the t-shirt had shifted up, exposing some of my waist to him. It took seconds for my skin to begin tingling. I was torn between closing my eyes and feeling through this exper

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

HIS SECRET WIFE 92. VULTURES
Hendrix was leading me to someone. The whispers followed us. It was when I saw his father and brother in a group that dread fell on me but I held my face and didn’t let it fall. We joined the group and stood as the older gentlemen talked about something. Then my father-in-law suddenly turned and his eyes widened which scared me and I couldn’t help grip more onto Hendrix. “Aahh, you have arrived. Gentlemen,” Mr Williams said to the men he was with, holding out his arm to us. “This is my youngest son, Hendrix and his lovely wife, Ruth. She is Gambino's only daughter.” My father-in-law introduced, all the men turning to me. Some gave disapproving stares while others gaped. I knew most of them from these gatherings but not the usual men my dad associated with. “Miss Gambino,” One of the older men said, holding out his hand. I shook it, shaking the others after. It was weird, all eyes on me. I felt as if I was at an auction. I could just see the crazy in their eyes from hearing my su
HIS SECRET WIFE 91. BACK IN SOCIETY
Fifteen dresses were lined up for me and I had to try all of them. He was seated on the couch directly facing the dressing room in the backroom of the designer shop. It was when I slipped the dress that I realised why these dresses were so expensive. The material definitely wasn’t the same and they just made you feel as if you were on top of the word. But the cost of living in the two lives were just drastic to me. Pulling the curtain away and walking out in each dress, my heart drummed as my eyes fell on my husband who had decided to give all his attention to me and my dress fittings. The way his eyes would move from my very feet and slowly up until they held my eyes. The decision on the dresses was completely taken out of my hands and I did not mind at all. He would stare for long minutes before pointing to another. The way he took charge did something to me. So, as if we had all the time in the world, I wore each dress for him, even finding myself dizzily anticipating what he
HIS SECRET WIFE 90. THE INVITATION
School wasn’t all rainbows and sunshine but who cared, I was there to learn and I was doing just that. Being the oldest person there, married too just left me an outcast and a cause for ridicule. I was just happy they did not have the balls to say it to my face or try stupid bullying tactics because I was not beneath smacking little spoilt brats and teaching them respect. I would crush them like insects. All my spare time was spent studying. I studied as if my life depended on it. There was a lot I had to learn. All my previous grades from my old school were bought so I knew basically nothing. I got myself a laptop and an ipad which helped a lot as I was doing a lot of note taking. I watched teaching videos online, set tests for myself every week and just went hard on it. Maths was my worst nightmare so I got a tutor who was really helping me through it. All this left little time to spend with Blue. I told myself we would have a lifetime together but as of then I was building our fu
HIS SECRET WIFE 89. SECOND CHANCES
For the first month, besides being a mother, my life had no meaning. Samantha was always with Blue. She daunted on him, showered him with love, and devotion. They played, she sang, she read, she bathed him, dressed him, slept with him in the nursery, took walks, fed him, the list was endless. I tagged along in all the activities but it soon seemed as if I was a third party, like I was a leech to Samantha, as if I was monitoring or keeping an eye on her. It made us rigid with each other and the easygoing conversations and friendship turned sour. The jealousy I felt did not help at all because I realized it was showing on my face every time Blue clung to Samantha, how he always looked for her with his eyes and soon wanted no one else but Samantha. It was like a knife to the heart. How crazy was it to inwardly blackmail a baby? I just couldn’t help the thoughts. After everything we went through together, he just turned on me like that. I was losing my mind, I knew it. Everyone had so
HIS SECRET WIFE 88. GOODBYE
In a million years I never thought this would happen. Well, there are so many things I had never thought would ever happen to me so this was just a new addition to the list. I took the chance to steal a glance before fixing my eyes back on the road. Being dumped in a country house and left to your own devices was a husband’s punishment to older wives they nolonger wanted but could not divorce or women who had done unspeakable things.I had done unspeakable things and Hendrix was saving me. I was happy and grateful yet that did not stop this from feeling like a punishment, not from Hendrix, but from the universe for what I had done. The car was filled with silence and it had me check on Hendrix now and again. I don’t know why he had decided to sit at the back. Did he not trust my driving? It was one of the very few things I was good at. Stealing a glance at the review mirror told me he was asleep. I could not take my eyes away but I had to. He looked so peaceful though, watching h
HIS SECRET WIFE 87. THIS MIGHT BE GOODBYE
The silence in the car nearly killed me and I kept beating myself up on why I had hopped on the back seat with Samantha. Hendrix had just looked so angry that I had been afraid of the confrontation but at this point I preferred it than the deafening silence. “Just there,” Samantha pointed, Hendrix turning the car to the restaurant Samantha had recommended. He parked in the parking lot and Samantha soon hopped out. I wanted to say something to diffuse the situation but found my brain blank of words. Was he angry because we kept him waiting or did he think I spent so much because of all the paper bags filling the car? The money spent would shock him, very low compared to what I had thought. But we had been wrong to keep him waiting for so long in the parking lot. I was sure he had other things to do. I closed the door and followed Samantha who was already leading the way to the shops lining the street. People turned as we passed, most greeting Samantha with smiles. I had already esta
HIS SECRET WIFE 86. JUST LIKE OLD TIMES
“You can use this card. Here’s the pin,” Hendrix said, holding it out. “Buy anything you will need; clothes, toiletries, hair, and makeup staff.” I took the card into my sweaty palms. “But…” He trailed away, staring at me intensely, which made me more nervous. “This card doesn’t have millions in it.” With each word I felt as if he was watching my reaction. “ I will give you a spending limit. For now…..” He swallowed his words, blinking as if nervous himself now. “I will not buy much, I promise,” I saved him from whatever he had not wanted to say out loud. He nodded his head. “I know it’s not much but for now I would appreciate it if you did not exceed twenty thousand at most.” “Thank you,” I said back. I had never gone shopping and spent less than a hundred thousand. I was not sure I could pull it off but I was definitely cutting makeup out. My make up alone would not fit in the twenty thousand. I did not need it anyway. Just some toiletries. I had seen a very cheap lotion at
