Chapter 28: Chapter 28

To fall in love with someone Is a beautiful feeling, but to stay in love with that person makes your whole life heavenly.

I was forced to go see Iyke in his office after I left David's school. I went to See my son In school and he told me he was angry at me because I rarely went and Precious did. It was the same IK that told me not to go disturb the boy, he said it would make him long for home if he gets to see me regularly and would not concentrate. But he went regularly and also with Precious too.

What is Precious doing in Nigeria and why is she after my son? Iyke has some explanations to make.

I eagerly drove into his park lot and was unfortunately told my husband had left the office with some clients since the early hours of the day. Austin, his friend told me to go check the hideout. It was a small building where he normally go when he has loads of work and didn't want to be disturbed. I remember him telling me this morning that he might not come home today.

Oh! And that was where he proposed to me. So I didn't need to be directed.

Pulling into the drive way, a smile spread on my face as I realized his car was there. But there was this unfamiliar vehicle parked behind my husband's car. 'That's odd' he doesn't bring people here, he even refuses me coming over especially when he is working.

I got out of the car and walked up to the door with a strange feeling passing over me. Something was off. I cautiously walked inside as the door was slightly opened. WEIRD.

Everything looked normal as I strolled from the living room to the kitchen and rooms but no one was there. I was relieved of my crazy imaginations but something still wasn't right. Then I decided to go to the bar, it was at the backyard. Maybe he was there cooling himself off work or probably still working.

Seeing what was happening in front of me made nearly gasp in alarm. My eyes widened in surprise. My heart broke, seeing him intimate with someone else. My husband was bending some other woman over the bar counter. 'HOW COULD HE?'

Precious! I screamed.

They both tore apart like they had seen a ghost. I don't know what else to do, never expected something like this to happen.

I was too disgusted to do anything. I slowly backed away in disbelief and shock.

I thought we loved each other; we still kissed and he told me he loved me this morning.

Is this the reason he kept postponing our wedding ceremony? even tho we had gone to Court. I trusted him. My chest feeling like it was going to explode as if a cement truck just ran over it. It was too hard to breathe.

I ran out of their sight with tears running down my face.

IYKE

Floating in pool of emotions, hot tears poured down my cheeks. I had no words to say; I never was the type of person to lack words but I did when my wife and mother of my son just caught me cheating.

Sandra was always this strong woman, even when she lost her baby she wasn't this broken. I had crossed the line.

All Precious did was put on her clothes and walk away too.

For the first time in my life, I was truly lost. How would I explain? She wouldn't want to see me again. I hurt her. She loves me and I hurt her in return.

-----------------

I got home

I rushed putting my clothes on, so I could meet Sandra at home. I didn't know how I got home but thank God I did but she hasn't gotten home. What a fool I am! The Sandra I know wouldn't want to see me or even my shadow now, so I am not surprised she isn't here.

I've been pacing around and calling constantly but she isn't picking the calls. At a point she switched it off.

What if something happened? Or she hurt herself? Anxiety and fear ripping through my stomach. She just have to forgive me.

Not thinking twice, I'm leaving the house too, I can't sleep here without my Sandra. I'd better sleep on the couch or floor in the office.

Precious has ruined me.

************

I have to leave him, not because I don't love him but because he hurt me.

I slept in the car, going to sleep in that house would hurt me more. Of all people, why does this happen to me. He made me leave the ones I value most, thinking he loved me more and everything he did was for my good but NO. Every word he said on the day he proposed and even in Court was meaningless. He is not the person I thought he is and I don't want to be with a cheat.

I refuse to stay; it is for the better. He has been breaking me bit by bit this past weeks but he had finally done the worse. He broke our love, our family and broke the 'bended' me.

Precious! the same woman I loved and cherished for taking care of my son and she was also taking care of him as well.... I never knew

Was I a bad wife?

Was it my fault?

-------------

I drove to David's school and took him home; our ex-home to get our stuffs and we are moving back to Lagos.
