I sat in that position for over 7 mins analyzing what my best option was. With hands like Jelly, I picked up my phone and I found myself dialing Larryās number. That was the only person I could think of calling. It rang just twiceā¦
ā So?ā What is your conclusionā¦. ?ā. He said with the most emotionless voice I have ever heard from his mouthā¦
ā Daniel is dyingā I summoned all the strength to say itā¦
ā You did it?ā¦ what did you use? Rat poison?ā¦ I knew you could do it, I will be on my way right now, to help you finish it upā¦ We will make His death clean without implicating youā¦. ā I couldnāt believe the words pouring out of his mouth and for the first time it seem like I saw who Larry wasā¦ He was the devil sent to finish meā¦ The love I felt for him suddenly became hatred and fearā¦
Larryās place was just 10 minutes drive from my place. It suddenly hit me, Larry was on his way to kill Danielā¦ Was that what I wanted?ā¦ I think I must have heard the Holy Spirit, because ever since that night in Room 401, the voice of the Holy Spirit was farā¦
I heard ā Get Daniel out of here fastāā¦How was I going to get my big sized husband out of this houseā¦ ? At this pointā¦ I was not sure I could driveā¦. My legs felt like Ironā¦
I decided to call our doctor to send the ambulance, which I did, but he told me it would take about 25 mins because of the distanceā¦
As I rounded up the call with my doctor, I heard the banging of the gateā¦ I frozeā¦ Larry was around already? ā¦ I curled up beside Daniel saying the only prayer that I could utterā¦ ā God, please donāt let Daniel dieā¦please send Larry away ā
My phone started ringing, I didnāt have to check the screen to know who it wasā¦ Suddenly, the banging stopped, I heaved a sigh of relief. Larry was goneā¦.
Or so I thought until I heard a loud thud, Larry had jumped the fence into the compoundā¦ Oh my, there was no stopping him.. As a close family friend, he knew our emergency entrance into the house through the roofā¦ Larry was going to kill Danielā¦
I sat down defeated on the floor, as I heard his footsteps on the roof, ā¦The doorā¦ Yes!ā¦ The door to the room. I jumped up and locked the bedroom door. Larry got into the house and was calling my name in the most loving way I have ever heardā¦
ā Graceā¦ Baeā¦.Where are you?ā¦I know You are scaredā¦We can handle this togetherā¦ Sometimes bad things have to happen to others, for us to be happyā
By this time, he was at the door of the bedroomā¦
ā Open Graceā¦Letās do this before the day breaks..
You know I love you baby, this is for us, When we are done with this, I will divorce my wife, so we can be togetherā¦ ā
I didnāt move an inchā¦ I sat beside Daniel who was already in a coma, as I kept checking if he was breathingā¦
ā Larry, please leave me, I donāt love you any moreā I said with the little strength in meā¦ My eyes were gushing out tears on its own accordā¦
ā No you do, You love me and I love youā¦ you are just stressed upāā¦ He said trying to convince meā¦
ā Larry you are destroying me, Is that what you came for?ā¦I thought you came to help my music, but my music does not mean anything to me any moreā¦ , If you want to finish me, please do, not my husband, he is a Good manā¦ ā I cried bitterly
ā I love you, is that a crime, we are soul mates, if you had not married early, may we would be married ā Larry was saying using his sweet cajoling voice, but I noticed Larry was moving around as he spokeā¦ I didnāt understand why until I saw the door knob movingā¦ He was obviously trying to break in with a knife or somethingā¦
Larry was going to kill Daniel ā¦. Just then a Miracle happenedā¦ We heard the siren of the ambulanceā¦
ā You called the police on me, Grace? ā Larry asked with disbelief
ā NOā¦I mean it isā¦ ā I tried explaining it was an ambulance, but them it hit meā¦ This was the way outā¦ Larry thought the ambulance was the police, this was the best opportunity ā¦ I didnāt utter any more wordā¦ Larry got furiousā¦
ā Grace you are going to pay for this, You called the police on me? ā He left the door, opened the Back door of the kitchen and jumped out through the fenceā¦
With shaky hands and feet, I went out to open the gate for the ambulance. We got to the hospital in timeā¦ But it was too lateā¦
Daniel was already a vegetableā¦.Alive but no more activeā¦ My one night of adultery was giving way to more than I bargained forā¦
I had two problems nowā¦ First, What do I tell my Igbo in-lawsā¦.? Secondly, I have to face Larry ās wrathā¦, Larry, the handsome devil I thought I knew before, at that moment I didnāt know what he was capable of doing nextā¦
