THE TRIUMPH OF MY CHEATING HUSBAND Freedom at last
CIARAI didn’t know if leaving my phone with me after she made me transfer such huge amount of money to her was a dare, or, she forgot to take my phone and leave me here to rot in chains.I waited for her to trudge down the stairs, and for the sound of her feet to die down, before I did what I guess she wouldn't expected me to do.I dialed Ryan’s number.He had been visiting me all the while I was in the rehab facility, and he always come with my son, Herzl, but I had never done the good of calling him after the doctor’s put me on test to confirm that I had fallen back to sanity.I knew he would be shocked to see my name of the screen of his phone, because it had been years I last tried his number, after everything I went through in his hands, but I guess he had gotten better, and he should feel lucky to have me call him, and he should understand that there is indeed an emergency.He picked up, and I placed my ear to the phone, putting the phone in speak out, because I can’t take it

CIARAI didn’t go after him because he was armed. Had it been he was not armed, I could have gone after him, and push him down the staircase.I went under the bed and found my phone, then, I rushed to the window, and from there, I took a video record of their car pulling out of my property the way kidnappers’ car does when they go pick someone up.I was kidnapped and brought to my house, then, I was robbed by my own aunt, whom I accepted into my house and my heart.Gosh, that was too much for me to bear.She must refund my money to me, and she must rot in jail for daring to do such as she just did at the first place.I dialed Ryan’s number the second time, and placed the phone to my ears.He picked up.“Hello, Ryan.” I was the one speaking on high pitched voice now, because I was desperate to know if he was able to get the police to the airport, to wait for Aunt Elsie and pick her up as soon as she enters the airport to do her trip to wherever in the world, she wanted to go to with m

ELSIETwenty million bucks is a lot, but I got it, and I’m leaving the country with it.No one would believe Ciara if she points at me tomorrow and claim I abducted her and stole from her, because she already had a record for mental issues.And by the way, that should be after she must have recovered from the shock of betrayal, and find those she would cry out to, and suffer the pain of being ignored for being a one-time mental impotency patient.I relaxed my head on the headrest of the car that was getting me ferried to the airport. I had the good of telling her I was going to the airport, and also telling the boys to free her and leave before she realizes the helpless situation, I had tossed her into.“Don’t you have a good music, man?” I posed.The driver shot me a glance through the head mirror and turned on the stereo. I slipped on my sun glasses and smiled while the stereo blessed me with Adele’s, I can’t love you in the dark.That was exactly the kind of music I need at this ve

CIARA“I just got report about Elsie.”Ryan from the onset doesn’t call her aunt, though he knew she was my aunt and I like referring to her with the due honors that should be accorded to her, and by the way, she had been there like a mother to me, until she went bad recently.I spurned to him.I was making some quick delicacy up for us both in the kitchen when he walked in and announced the good news. “Was she nabbed?” I posed.I knew that was what he was going to tell me, but I wanted to hear it from him. I wanted to hear that the cops either got her out of the plane she boarded, or, they caught her before she could walk into the airfield.“Yes, she was nabbed in the airport.”That was such good news. The wolf in sheep’s clothing had been caught by the hunters who amble the jungle all day and night.I didn’t wish to have them do anything inhuman to her, but I wanted my money back, and by the way, the rest is left for the law which would always do its toll after she must have return
Last Updated : 2023-09-30THE TRIUMPH OF MY CHEATING HUSBAND About last night
CIARAWe didn’t have meal tonight.I was so sad I even broke off from his embrace while we were in the kitchen, and he, too, lost his appetite, and thus turned off the stove.I busied myself with my phone, going through the reports online on the event, and he busied himself with a bottle of vodka in the room.That was his way of dealing with sadness, especially when his sadness involves me. Because me being sad, meant the night was totally useless, because though he's yet to earn a place in my heart, I would let him have my body under this situation.The media is indeed a monster.First, it started with the clips of men and women of the stone age, then it matured into writing as early as when choreographs came into existence in the earliest civilizations of man, but now, it had exceeded the speed of the lips and inks.It had become really worse because anyone could access it at their comfort zone without putting in some energy or stress.I bumped into the page of one of the best inves

CIARAWaking up in the living room was the least thing I planned for myself when I was making meal for us in the kitchen last night before the bad news came.I had dreamt of waking up in his embrace and curdle, but I just woke up on the couch with my bones and muscles aching.It wasn’t supposed to be this way, but fate made it this way, and I wasn’t ready to fight fate either.I was just ready to go through life the way fate made it, and that means going to Ryan’s mother’s house and bringing my son, Herzl back to my care.I knew Ryan wouldn’t bring him to me even if I threaten to kill him if he fails to bring him back to me. He had been without him for long, so, I shouldn’t expect him to give Herzl back with such ease now that fate had been changed to have him by his side.I rose from the sofa and stretched my arms, yawning as I did so. Gone were the days when I have people who come to me in bed every morning to ask questions of how the day would go, because Aunt Elsie had done the bi

CIARAThe compound and the big house in it had not changed a bit. The maids were still dunned in their usual black silk uniforms, and the guards were just three as always, but they handle heavy riffles now.I don’t know why they had to go for such big guns that scared my guts, but I had to man up and act fearless. By the way, I came for my kid, not for their lives.The maids greeted me when they saw me approaching, but I ignored them. I didn’t come here to take greetings and pleasantries. I came for one thing, picking up my son, and that’s all.I made into the big house, and there, I saw Herzl washing Anime movies, and smiling at the current scene on display.“Herzl.” I called on him and he turned to me.I stretched out my hands towards him, and he ran to me and tossed his body into my hands, sparing me the grace to carry him the way infants are carried around by their parents.I kissed his cheek as I took him into my arms, and rubbed his hair with my warm palms. His head was warm, to

CIARA“Look, Herzl, this is not where you are meant to be, and we have no time to waste. We are leaving, so, I guess you should go get the things you need to go along with.” I wasn’t supposed to let him down, but I had to because I want to caution Ryan who was standing by the staircase adding more fuel to the tripod and causing the yellow flames to darken the pot with soot.“I’m not getting anything from inside. This is my home, I’m going nowhere, mom.” He said and sat on the floor, focused on his anime movie.Indeed, these guys had spilled stuffs into my son’s mouth, and forced him to down it without spitting a bit of it out like kids do when you give them syrup medications that doesn’t taste really good.My face burned with rage, and the thumping of my heart against my chest increased by three folds, making me breath faster than normal.I could bear anything, but having my most treasured jewel turn me down in the presence of my adversaries is the worse feeling that would ever be in

"There she is..." Jamel whispered but audible enough to Alex's hearing, who only nodded with out a reply as he strode towards Ms. Carter. They both exchanged pleasantries before he had his seat opposite her."It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Carter." Alex said as he sat down. Ms. Carter looked at him with an inscrutable expression, her green eyes glittering."The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Alex." she replied, her voice smooth and calm. "I understand you're the CEO of The Williams cooperation. It's quite an impressive company, I've heard lots about it."Alex smiled slightly but it was enough to brighten the atmosphere. "Thank you, but I'm hardly the only one responsible for its success. I'm lucky to have a great team." He uttered, still maintaining his slight smile. "A great team, and a great leader." Ms. Carter vocalized with a few head nod. With out much further ado, she cleared her throat, deciding to go straight to the point. "I supposed you are yet to find a shareholder yet, or ha

The long ride was slow and as well as a quiet one too. Alex sighed for the umpteenth times, unable to fathom the reason behind his sigh that seems not to be coming to an end — of course, he has many reasons for his continuous sigh, but he could not pinpoint which one of it was gnawing at him.Though his mind and thoughts seems to be in fuzzy, he managed to forced his focus on the wheels —he can't repeat the same mistakes twice and this time, he might not be lucky enough and might lose his life. Alex did not want that to happen to me once again, he dreaded the thought of it. He had almost seen death once —he won't face it this time.He's currently facing a lot but losing his life shouldn't be the thought on his mind. His mother —he had stressed her enough with his continuous and never seems to end escapades lately, should he add more to it? No, right? And his daughter too, what would happen to her if she's left behind? Times like this, Alex wished he could turn the hand of time and go

When Lisa walked into her office, she was surprised to find that Judas was not there. On a normal day, Judas would be the first one to greet her upon her arrival. But today, he was nowhere to be found. Lisa was confused and concerned, so she decided to call him to find out what was going on.When she pulled out her phone, she quickly dialed Judas's number. The phone rang and rang, but there was no answer after two try. She had wanted to dial the number for the third time but shrug it off, and decided to keep her phone.Just when she was about to do as thought, the phone rang, vibrating softly in her grip. She checked the caller — it was Judas. With a deep frown settling on her face, she reluctantly picked the call. "Hey..." Judas hailed dryly from the other end. "Sorry, I screened your call. I was about parking when you called so I couldn't answer the phone." "Where are you?" Lisa questioned instead, ignoring his excuses. "I just entered my office and find it empty — you aren't her
THE TRIUMPH OF MY CHEATING HUSBAND 067
"I know what I'm saying is true, Lisa." Andy insisted, seeing the doubt in Lisa's eyes. "Since you left for Los Angeles and made me the acting chairman, my father has been pressuring me to take over the company." Andy went as far as explaining every little detail to Lisa not leaving one out of it. He went as far as telling her how Xavier left home since he refuse to dance to his tunes and even him going to apologize to his father thinking maybe he had change. Lisa was dumbfounded after listening to all what Andy had said, even though she had expected those cunning men not to back away easily. The one she mostly find hard to believe was Xavier cutting ties with his son over his petty greed but since it's coming out from Andy's mouth, she has no other choice than to believe it. "— I shouldn't be saying this, but I can't let them hurt you. I've watched you grown up and I see how kind and considerate you've been..." Andy muttered slowly in conclusion. "I won't possibly be at peace if I

As Andy stood there, staring at his father, he knew that their relationship was irreparably broken. No matter what he said or did, he would never be able to repair the damage that had been done.The man standing in front of him was not the father he had once known and loved. He was a stranger, a man consumed by greed and ambition. He was lost to him forever.Slowly, he turned and began to walk away. He didn't look back, didn't say another word. He simply left, and never looked back.Andy couldn't help but wondered how his father had turned this way — at this stage, he's beyond repair and no matter the amount of words said could bring back his old self which seems to be lost forever.‘Am I really doing the right thing?’ He asked himself, giving his actions a second thought. ‘Leaving him and walking out of his life the moment he's alone and needed someone by his side, is it really okay to desert him like this?’He's not alone, he has his brother who are always supporting him, no matter

"Whether it's sinful or not doesn't matter to me." Xavier cut his son off, matching his angry tone. "Did you think I wish to remain hidden while that bitch enjoy all the luxury to herself and her illegitimate kids?"Andy would have calmed down a bit but his father was only adding more fuel to his anger. "How dare you, father..." He uttered repulsively, trying to defend Lisa. "Why would you speak such ill words of her and her kids who had done nothing wrong against you?""Nothing wrong, eh?" Xavier muttered with a scoff. "Her existence alone has wronged me greatly. Now that I'm into it already, I won't back down until I see her got ruined completely."Andy shook his head sideways, the look of disgust that was on his his face deepen. "You aren't worth living with, Mr. Xavier. It's a good thing you left me on your own." He said with scoff. "I see why mom left you two decades, taking Stephanie along with her.""You..." Xavier yelled with anger written all over him, pointing his index fing
THE TRIUMPH OF MY CHEATING HUSBAND 064
Ever since Andy could remember, he has never been anxious as he is at the moment. He wasn't even sure of the best words to say to his father when he see him. It was at that moment it all dawned on him that he has not planned all of these well enough which made him let out a low but tiring sigh.The moment Andy stepped in and as though his father had been expecting him to come, Andy was welcomed by his father's blazing gaze — if only looks were capable of ending one's life, Andy was sure to have dropped death on spot."What is this ungrateful brat doing here?" Xavier's thundered in anger, his voice laced with hatred and he did not hesitate to give his son that same look as well —hatred, anger, frustration and fury! He turned towards his brother's direction. "Fred, why did you allow this boy in?""I think he has something to say to you." Fred muttered, though audibly to Xavier's hearing with a slight shoulder shrug, collapsing on the nearest couch. "Let's listen to what he has to say. H

It was barely past noon when Andy had returned home from work that afternoon, he couldn't come back home the previous day because it was already late in the night when he finished from the theatre room so he took his rest at the hospital instead. Andy sat on his favorite couch with a heavy sigh of relief but his relief did not last more than a few moment, because his relief was swallowed with his gnawing feeling of emptiness. Everything seems empty to him — and he felt as though he's alone in the whole big world. He knew something was amiss somewhere and tried figuring it out. Alas! He figured out that it was the absence of his father. He had missed his father's presence in the house, his nagging and miss seeing his scowling face as well —all of these had made the past five years bearable for him but for the past one week, he has no one else to do all of these to him. Andy couldn't help but blamed himself for the emptiness he was feeling, he was the one who had sent his own biolog
THE TRIUMPH OF MY CHEATING HUSBAND 062
Once they were gone, Lisa let out a sigh of relief. She was glad to have a moment to herself, and she was looking forward to the peace and quiet. Although she couldn't help but feel a bit guilty about sending the kids away but she had things to discuss about with Judas.Judas moved closer and sat down on the seat opposite Lisa's desk. Lisa, as well, sat down in her usual position, her eyes fixed on the man before her. His facial expression says it all, of course he has a lot o say to Lisa and could not wait to be permitted so he could relay his words. "It seems you have something to say, Judas." Lisa finally voiced out after observing Judas for a while. She's not too blind not to have noticed —she knows Judas too well. "What have you come up with this time around?" "Uh, yeah." He nodded his head in agreement, adjusting slightly on his seat. "You can guess..." his voice was drawling and far from usual.Lisa raised her left brow slightly. "Beats me. What are you up to this time, Jude
