[STORY] MY AFRICAN WIFE (Episode 10)

Episode 10.

Danny was so happy when he saw how beautiful his wife looked, he ate the dinner enthusiastically. He ate gently and stared at her at every seconds just wondering the misery behind her beauty.

After the dinner he showered and joined her on the bed. She was so happy but upset when she thought about sex. She still don’t want to do it.

The two were so fond of each other that night, they engaged in a deep kiss. Edith was so carried away but Danny was not in the mood, he was really stressed up. She had forgotten about the request he promised her earlier.

He kissed her. Soon he stopped and pleaded with her that during the weekend he is going to make love to her. She is the patient type so she accepted hoping during the week she would tell him about Anabel.

They slept peacefully like babies holding each other. Her mind was at rest, all thanks to her mother but she never knew she was taking things slow while Annabel was fast and smart.

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

It was morning already, she made hot tea for her husband. He was happy seeing how free his wife was and wondered who had changed her overnight. “get ready for work. It will soon be time ” she teased him while he was making fun of her.

(Gift Pov)

I came to work very early, Annabel was at work already looking at me and smiling mischievously.

I thought of what was making her to smile but I couldn’t figure it out, I walked to my office not minding her. I sat on my rocking chair bowing my head to pray when my phone rang, it was a message alert.

I exercised patience to finish praying before I check the message. After I finished praying Anabel entered my office this time laughing uncontrollably “what’s the problem? ” I asked in annoyance.
“Your boss asked me to call you and mind you don’t you ever speak to me in such an annoying tone because I’m not your type ” she said.

I was surprised at her, as I always act, silence is the best answer. I was quiet until she left my office then I went after her wondering why my boss want to see me and why he was at work so early.

I walked to his office, immediately he saw me he started smiling. I was happy to see him smiling so I smiled back “didn’t you see the unusual alert? ” he asked
“no sir” I answered
“alright take this to your office and read it, the alert is double of your salary ” he said.

I thought it was a promotion later but when I went outside his office Anabel broke into another segment of laughter, this time I was uncomfortable and began to pray.

I got to my office and prayed before opening the letter. It reads :

Danny Benson
Managing Director

Tears dropped down from my eyes, no wonder she was laughing. I’ve been working in this company for 8yrs before Mr Benson handed over the company to his son. I’ve been promoted several times because of my hardworking towards the progress of the organization. I shouldn’t be dismissed in such a way.

I thought of who has poisoned my boss’ heart to be against me then I remember his wife, it might be her because of what I told he. I know my boss will not listen to the cheap s–t he called PA but was I wrong for telling her the truth?

I was so confused and devastated, I never knew such would befall me so soon. The sack was like a slack cause it came as a bombshell.

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

Mrs Alex and her mother in-law were on their usual strolling when they experienced something unusual. Her mother in-law noticed reddish stain on her dress. “what is this? ” she asked trying to check the stain.

Rose quickly turned her dress towards her to see what was that. She opened her mouth wide “it’s blood, you have lost your baby” her mother in-law said.

Rose fell and fainted immediately hearing she had lost her baby. Her mother-in-law was helpless. She ran and called people who came to her aid. They helped her by taking her to the hospital.

Mr Alex rushed to the hospital on hearing about the state of his wife. He rushed to the doctor “Doctor! Doctor!! where is my wife ” he asked
“calm down she will be fine, she is in the theater ” he said and walked out.

Alex was crying already “calm down, you have to be a man for once. She is not going to die ” his mum console him.

Soon the doctor arrived and asked them to go and see her.
