Anthony looked at the clock on the
wall…it was past 11:00pm…he was furious…where could she be…why would she stay out this late and with a strange man….then the events of that morning came to his mind…she had
caught him having s-x with a lady…he felt bad…he knows the contract states they were allowed to see other people but why was
he feeling guilty now…he didn’t feel guilty when he did it before…what changed…it
became worse when he saw tears in her eyes….it only meant that she was hurt and it made him feel worse…knowing that he hurt her…since her arrival she had been nothing but an angel…she
took care of him and his father…it was like having a mother again…he recalled the
time they suffered a huge loss due to the fact that the aircraft delivering crashed…she spent time with them and made sure they were happy again and with time they forged on…she
had been a blessing to him and his
dad…and he hurt her…. 。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

ify entered into donalds car and drove off
“ifaechi….its been a while…how have you been…i can see life has been good to you..” he said as he drove….

“what do you want donald..why were you in my husband’s work place..?” she asked
“ooh…you’re married..i didn’t

back into my life to collect money…but you’ve failed..infact stop the car….stop it now..”
she yelled…

Donald stopped the car and ify came down…Donald came down too “ify…please..
.you’re getting this wrong….i
only want to apologise for the way i treated you and to tell you that i still love you…all these
years i never stopped thinking about you…i still love
you…please lets start over..” he pleaded
“love…??…wait…what made you think i would forgive you after that humiliation…you dumped me publicly…humiliated me and
called me a village girl….a bush

Donald stood transfixed…ify had never insulted him before…its just the first try…he’ll get
her…he thought…although he didn’t quite get their conversation cos they spoke in
whispers but it was obvious from ify’s expression that she was hurting…it has always been difficult for her to hide how she feels because her eyes easily gives her away…he just had to
come up with perfect plan…he needed to get money off
her…he smiled as something came to him…he entered the car he borrowed from his friend so he’d impress ify and drove off |℃|℃|℃|℃|℃|℃|℃|℃|℃|℃

ferdnardo sat quietly at the corner of the bar…he had arranged a meeting with someone
that’ll help him carry out his plan but he was delaying…he soon noticed a lady walk in…she
sat beside him….it was quite dark so he couldn’t make out her face….she seemed troubled and his heart went out to her…he felt the need to console her…

“hi young lady…how are you..??” he asked with concern…ifaechi stared at the man who spoke to her…it was dark and she was unable to make out his face….it wouldn’t hurt talking to
someone…she thought..

“i’m fine sir..” she responded
“it doesn’t seem so…you look responsible…you wouldn’t be here if you’re okay…talk to me…i’ll listen.”

“(sighs)…..i think i’m in love with my husband..” she said
“(laughing)…but that is a good thing.right..??”

“not in my situation….not with the condition the marriage is based on…if i fall in love with
him i’ll be hurting myself..” she lamented “(sighs)….i really don’t understand your situation but it’ll be okay…it always
is..?” mr ferdnardo said
“thank you sir…what’s your own
story..why are you here..?” ify asked “my dear…my case is a lot tougher…i’m meeting with someone who will help me eliminate my competition”
“(shocked)….eliminate..??…as in kill..??” ify asked “yes…this guy is making my business slow and
on top of it he insults my with my
childlessness each chance he gets..”

“but its not reason to kill anyone…what will you gain from his death..?”
“money…lots of money..”
“and after the money..??…you just said something about being childless…who inherits it all after you..” ify asked silence
“sir…i’d advice you to stop your plan…i’m very sure that man you want to kill has a child or children..what happens to them
then..??…sir please…instead of all this hate you’re carrying inside..why don’t you adopt a
child and transform the hate into love and pour it on him….killing him will not do you good sir..”

“hmmmmmm….my dear you are
wise….you are a good person…i never saw things this way..i was blinded by my greed….you know…you remind me of someone i met years ago….she..

beep beep a text entered her phone…
“please come home….i’m worried”…it was from tony….she looked at her wristwatch…it
was past 11
“i have to go sir…its late.” she said standing up “ok dear…you have a beautiful heart…no
matter the condition surrounding your marriage…if that man doesn’t love you.he must be an idiot….take care dear..”

ify just smiled and left
