[STORY] THE UNFAITHFUL WIFE (Episode 16)

Episode 16.

My wife had me cornered and I knew it. She was a very cunning woman. “Peter, your mother asked you to call and say what you are saying, right? And I am sure she is standing by you right now, gesturing to you” I said. My son said he was alone with his sister and that they were at a public pay phone. They had sneaked out of the house: that their mother was not aware that they had sneaked out to call me I believed him. I knew Peter very well. He was terrible when it comes to lying. I was in a fix. My children loved their mother to a fault just as they loved me.

Now, to have their mother jailed would have an adverse effect on them. I asked myself what is going to be my gain, if i jailed the Mother of my Children. And, I guess they will never forgive me for it. “Daddy, are you there?” he asked me. “Yes I am here” I said

“Daddy, do this for Pamela and me. We beg you in the name of God” he pleaded once more. I could feel the passion in his voice. I also knew he was crying.

“Okay, for the sake of the two of you and God, I have forgiven her” I said “ Daddy! Are you sure?” he asked.” Are you sure you have forgiven our mummy?

“I have. I love the two of you so much” “So Daddy, will you take mummy back in our home? Will she be your wife once again” he asked. I remember when I was dating Nora, I remember the day of our wedding, I remember my vow I made in the present of God ( for better for worse ). I said she will. I heard him scream in joy and narrate what I had said to her younger sister. She screamed and asked to talk to me.

“Daddy?” she asked. Her innocent and soft voice immediately set my heart racing. How I missed her! “Daddy, I love you. Let us see you soon!” she said, giggling happily.

“I love you too, Pamela” I responded. Then the connection went off. I sighed as tears began to trickle down my cheeks. I took a handkerchief and wiped it off. Then I got my car going once more. Suddenly, I wished I had made John drive me to work.

By the time I arrived home, I was at peace with myself, having decided not to pursue the case in court. Once I was in the privacy of my bedroom, I phoned my lawyer to tell him I was no longer interested in pursuing the case in court. I explained to him that my wife had confessed to me that she lied to the court concerning the DNA and once she had pleaded for forgiveness, I was no longer interested.

“Wow! She confessed to perjury. That is an offence for which she can be jailed. You have a golden opportunity to put your wife away for a long time” he said. I repeated that I was no longer interested in the case. He was stunned. Apparently, he saw the news twist as an opportunity to make money.

“Doctor, you are throwing away an opportunity to make some cool money” he said, I asked by sending my wife to jail? frantically. However, I stuck to my guns. That ended it.

John and Efe, my driver and house-help respectively were stunned when I later told them, after supper, about my wife’s confession.

“Jesus Christ!” John exclaimed. “So Madam concocted all that lies against you?” Efe, though stunned, spoke up, saying that many a woman would do what my wife did to ensure no one takestheir children away from them.

“So, you mean Nora acted right?” I asked Efe.

“Daddy, I am not saying Madam’s actions were right. I am only saying most women will do anything to ensure that their children are not taken away from them” Efe replied. Then I dropped the second bombshell of the evening.
