"yet u can't even prove it? Why are u lying? Tell me the truth Ifeoma." he said. The moment he called me with my full name I knew he was serious. I had no choice so I told him the truth.

Husband's POV:I must confess Ify is the most adorable lady I've ever known and that's why I married her. She's a blessing. Just after I got married to her I got promoted at work. A promotion that I've been waiting for quite some time now.At least now I understand why the bible says he who finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtain favor from the Lord (Prov 18:22). She's everything a man wants in a woman. I met her during our love feast in church, she was in the hospitality unit while I was a choir master in church. I didn't know she had eyes on me anytime I went on the altar to minister, until that day God brought us together. That day, Pastor said get a partner to pray with, I ignored my neighbor who was sleeping beside me and looked round the whole congregation looking for someone to hold, just then I sighted the damsel, she too was looking for who to hold hands with, that was how we started.I didn't even know that she had heard my naūghty chats with my friends about me not b

After a minute, I decided to get so as not to give her high BP. I stood up, she started saying thank you Jesus, waving her hands to heaven"Baby you scared me, I thought you are gone" she said. "You thought I was gone? So that's what you want. U want to ki-ll me" I said. "No. baby I'm sorry". I didn't listen to her, I just carried the blanket and pillow straight to the sitting room to sleep. She followed me. "Baby I'm sorry naw, I'm sorry" she pleaded." Ify just leave me alone please" I said. "I'm sorry, it won't happen again" she begged. "Okay I've heard you but this is where I want to sleep tonight" I insisted. She tried to convince me to go back to the room but I refused. "Ify just go and sleep I'm fine". I said. "Are you sure?" she asked. "yes I'm sure just go" I replied. "I love you" she said. "I love you too..... but go and sleep" I responded.Ever since that day my wife has calmed down oday marks 9 months since my wife took in. We were together in the kitchen, I was cookin

Mandy and I boarded a cab and headed for the venue of the party which was taking place in a classic event center."Thank goodness we're not too late. Thank your stars, Zoey" Mandy said as we stepped into what looked like a club to me.Geez! A loud pop-up music was being played and almost everyone seemed to be dancing."Wohoo!" Mandy threw her hands in the air and screamed.Geez!"Mandy" I slapped her arm.Crazy.We walked pass the numerous dancing people till we got to a table which was empty."Where could Donna be?" I asked as Mandy took a glass of wine from the table and started gulping it down."Well...she's the celebrant. What do you expect?" She asked and took in more wine.Gosh! This place is damn too noisy. This is actually my first time attending such a party, so you wouldn't really blame me. If not for the fact that the celebrant's a close friend, I'd never had agreed to come."Come on, Zoey; let's dance" Mandy said as she started moving her body crazily."You know me, Mandy

I opened my eyes blearily and the first blur sight I caught was the ceiling.I shut my eyes and opened them again and my vision became more clear.The scene was different -Iike that of medicines and all that.“Zoey?” I heard a familiar voice and turned to see mum sitting beside me.“Mum?” I called weakly and her eyes beamed“Oh, my! You’re awake! You…are you okay? I’ll get the doctor” she giggled and hurried out of the room before I could say a word.I looked at at ceiling again and tried sitting up – and I did.What the hell happened?My head kinda ached as I tried to remember.The lady! The wounded lady! What happened to her? And how come I passed out?Mum came rushing in with the doctor not long after.“Please doctor; how’s she?” She asked even before he got to touch me.He brought out his stethoscope and placed it on my hand and chest.“She’s fine, ma’am. I told you. There are no physical injuries. So, you have nothing to worry about” he turned to mum and said and she heaved a hug
