BEHIND THE SMILE by Amah Heart

Episode 12.
By AMAH’S HEART.

After two days she try calling him again but no response came.
She wondered why he haven’t showed up and was eager to know what was going on.
She will wait until tomorrow and if he still did not show up she will have to search him out.
Not seeing or hearing from him was driving her insane and she can’t keep calm anymore.

The following day Bianca was in school on time and kept looking out for Prof Benny’s arrival.

She saw Geni approaching her and sighed angrily.

“What do you want now…? She barked at Geni who was several feet away from her.
Geni ignored until she was close enough.

“Hey Bianca, I have been searching all over the school for you. What are you doing here…in the staff car park? Are you aware that we will be sitting for the general test today and it comes with several marks for the next level. Today is the day and students are getting into class and getting ready for that while you’re out here for… Prof Benny, I guess…?

“I hate your audacity and the way you throw words to my face without fear. If I were you I will be very careful. Yes, I’m waiting for Benny again and you already know why or do you care for details I will be glad to feed you some more. As for the test, you already know what to do Geni. Do the normal thing as usual and stop pestering my life. I accommodate, feed and take care of your needs. The little you can do is to tidy up my mess and help with my school runs. That shouldn’t be difficult or is it? Please Geni, disappear from here because I’m not in the right mood for your nonsense talk. And make sure I pass the general test. I don’t know how you’re to do it but make sure I’m well graded. Even if you don’t pass yours but be sure I do…byeee”.

Geni shakes her head, turned and left.

Bianca kept waiting, it was after ten minutes that Geni left that Bianca saw Benny driving in
He parked exactly at his parking slot.
Bianca watched and waited for him to come down from his car.
Just when she was about walking up to him he opened the door and stepped down.
She quickly went to him

“Good morning sir…How’re you doing? I was worried when I didn’t see you yesterday and…”

She paused as Benny picked up his back pack, locked his car and started walking away while Bianca followed.

“I’m not in the right frame of mind Bianca and if not for the general test I was supposed to conduct, I probably wouldn’t even be here…”

“Maybe we can talk either in your car or somewhere safer for your personality sake… that’s if you don’t feel okay with me walking beside you…”

Benny kept walking “I don’t really care about anything right now. What I was so much afraid off happened, so nothing else matters. You assured me that you’re going to take care of it, I was hoping truly you will without it getting to my wife but I was wrong…”

Bianca appeared surprised

“Oh my goodness…whaaat? He sent it to your wife? Jeeezzzzz! I’m really sorry. That must be before I closed and deactivate the webs. I’m sure of it…he probably sensed that and sent it or it could be from already saved ones in either his phone or somewhere else. I don’t have control over that if it was already saved outside the link that I was trying to dismantle. I’m sorry Prof, I was so worried when I didn’t hearing from you and you didn’t show up. How’s your wife, the baby…hope everything is fine…?

Benny didn’t answer immediately as he turned to the road that leads to his office.
He later spoke
“Nothin… nothing is fine. As sad as it is we losed the baby. Life haven’t been the same ever since and I don’t know if it will ever be. I’m not even in talking terms with my wife. The anger… the pain, the heaviness of everything weigh down on my heart. I feel deeply bruised… unexplainable pain. Is all my fault… totally. Whoever this blackmailer is, he won’t get away with any this, that I promise. Thanks Bianca but if you can dig up this person for me, it will make me very happy…”

Bianca felt like jumping for joy.
Hearing that there is no more baby and he wasn’t in good terms with his wife means everything.
This was a great opportunity.
She will use it well and hope it keep getting better from now onwards until the relationship between them waxed even stronger.
Is time to shoot her shot because soon Benny will be fully hers and Dorcas will disappear into thin air.

“I will try my best sir. I was able to stop it from spreading to the public though. If you really want to talk about anything I’m always available. I will call to check up later. I’m sorry Prof…I wish I can take away your pain. I care about you and hate whoever that’s behind your sadness. Please, give it time because time heals all wound. I’m deeply sorry.

Prof Benny looked over at Bianca. She was acting weird.
Even though she appeared to care but there was something off about her.

He silently nodded without a word.
Bianca kept shooting her shot.
She sieze the opportunity to also talk down on his wife, poisoning Benny’s mind the more.

“…but your wife should have trusted you. What is marriage without love and trust. I’m sure you must have explained and pleaded with her but she still didn’t believe you. You don’t really have to blame yourself. Is not your fault at all. Unfortunate things do occur in life but how we with our partners handles it makes the difference. You’re innocent in all of this and never planned for any of that to happen. You try your best to hide it from your wife because of the baby mostly. Your wife neither cares about you or the baby because if she do the baby should still be alive. For the sake of the child she will control her blood pressure. That’s by avoiding anything that will lead to losing the child. I’m angry because I was really working hard for this same thing so that it won’t get bad but it seems my efforts were in vain. She wanted to spite you and that why she deliberately lose the baby knowing very well how much you wanted this child. Please, don’t misunderstand me… my whole point is that your wife has the ability to save the child but she choose not to. I’m sorry Prof Benny… she’s still your wife but she needs to work on her temper to avoid future reoccurrence…”

Benny got to his office door and Bianca wanted to follow him inside.
He paused at the door and said

“You have a point Bianca’.. Thanks. You’re supposed to be getting ready for the general test and should be in the hall by now… right?”

Bianca acted as if she was shocked. She checked the time and exclaimed
“Oh…oh. jeeeezzz! I was really worried about you, that’s why I decided to wait and see you first. Yeah, I need to run now…I will see you later Benny. Hope you don’t mind me calling you Benny…”

Benny told her that is fine by him.
She waved him goodbye as he entered his office and close the door.

Bianca was jumping for joy. She was making headway. Finally, she is achieving all she had dreamt of. Having Benny is a lifetime achievement for her.

She has one more thing to do.

She was going to use a hidden number and call Dorcas to inform her that her husband was having affair with a young beautiful model in school.

That will quickly throw them apart and scatter their marriage.

She quickly drove to the house, and got ready for the next mission.

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

A call came into Dorcas phone, she didn’t pick up after seeing it was a hidden number.
The caller kept calling.

she reluctantly picked up and didn’t say a word as she waited for whoever it was to speak first…
