Secret Betrayal

Episode 38

Continuation
On arrival at the airport,
Desmond was waiting. After
we exchanged​ pleasantries,
he smiled and announced.
“Someone is here to say
welcome.”

I shot him an inquisitive stare
before I spotted d!ckson
walking through the busy
glass doors.

“Did you come with
d!ckson?” I asked Desmond
who shared a knowing smile
with his wife. “You guys are
mischievous finally.”

They burst into laughter as
d!ckson arrived and gave me
a hug after a brief moment of
don’t-know-what-to-do’s.
…
I never returned to my
estranged husband at least
not until the court case for a
divorce commenced a few
months later.

Three months into the case,
he was reported to have
committed suicide with a
suicide note explaining his
dwindling life. I quickly
withdrew my court case and
claimed all his properties
which were left to me as his
direct beneficiary. I sold off
the already waning company
and other properties which he
owned including the flat in
which we had lived and
moved to Port-Harcourt to
start my pharmaceutical
company.

The money was unbelievably
huge, I realised, after selling
off the properties. Vera
suggested we rather
partnered to knock off other
competitors and I quickly
bought the idea. I invested
half of the money in Vera’s
business and we became
50-50 partners in a global
pharmaceutical business.
