Episode 13

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

MRS. SMITH’ S POV

“What’s taking Ella so long to bring the girl, or is she still sleeping by this time, I thought checking the time. This is just seven in the morning”

“Let’s just wait for them, they will be here….. oh I guess they are here already” Linda said pointing to them

“Oh I hate delays” I said puffing out the smoke my mouth and nostril

“Wow she is pretty” she smirk starring lustfully at Maria, who was walking sluggishly, she doesn’t seem her usual self

“Well you are here as their trainer and nothing else, lesbian freak” I snap rolling my eyes

“Chill ma’am, I know and whereas she doesn’t look like my type” she chuckled

Getting into the room, Maria greeted, while I waved my hand as a sign for Ella to leave us and wait outside

“Good morning ma” Maria greeted with difficulty, I guess it’s because of the cigarette smoke

“Morning dear how was your night” I asked puffing out more smoke

“it was fine ma” she mumbled

“Ok now let’s get down to business, you know why I brought you here and that is for you to learn a trade, but before I go into that, what happened to your friend last night, I want you to tell me every bit of it” I asked

“Ermmm….m.. I …. She,,,,,I don’t really know ma” she stammered

“Maria, I do not want you to see the other side of me, tell me now” I yelled

“Well she had a nightmare”

“How long has that been going on”

“I don’t know ma”

“I thought she is your friend” I asked

“Yessss….but I don’t know but I guess it’s because of stress”

“Stress? Hmm, okay I hope she is not sick mentally, because I want healthy ladies for this work”

“Ok ma, but ma can I know the type of work we want to take part in” she asked a little panicking

“Well Linda here will be the one to tell you all about the job, and everything you need to know, but before she start your friend needs to be here too, by the way why are you shivering or perhaps panicking? I asked

“No…thing ma, I am fine ma”

“Ok, Ella!! Call me Eliza”

“Ok ma, I will call her immediately” she replied.

1. SMITH’S POV

If I were told that I won’t get married to the love of my life, I would doubt it” I thought starring at the picture of a young lady, although she would have become a full grown woman now perhaps with kids or so.

The lady in the picture, known as grace use to be my girlfriend then in school at Dorma, I can’t believe she cheated on me with that bas***d.

Despite the fact that she cheated, I still love her even up till now, but because of my pride then, I left her for one of her friends, which is now my wife today.

I still regret my action, because I never loved Debbie one bit, but because her father is rich and being a guy from a wealthy I had to marry her, but not without much pressure from my parent. My mother, promise to disown me, if I go back to Grace, who they consider to be a cheat.

Debbie and I were sent to the state to further our education and afterward we got married, but up till today, the so responsible woman hasn’t drop an heir to my properties, if I leave this world today.

Instead of giving birth to a child, she prefer going to party, clubs, shopping, and outing with her friends, at times I feel like am not having a wife, because she fails in performing most of her duties.

But I have no choice, I’m suffering the consequences of my action, I should have forgiven Grace when she pleaded for mercy, she seems sincere with every word she told me then, I would have been a happy man.

I didn’t know I was crying already until I saw a drop of my tear on the picture, I feel pained so much seeing my mates with children why I have none, that’s why I adopted Eric, but lied to my wife that he is the child of one of my friend who died and I’m taking responsibility, because my wife won’t allow him to stay if she finds out that he was taken from the orphanage.

I was still in thought when I heard a knock on the door, I quickly rub off the tears on my face and hid the picture under a file.

“Come in” I beckoned and my secretary stride into the office

“Good day Sir, you called for me”

“Yes, I will be going back to Nigeria soon, so I want you to book a flight for me and make the necessary arrangement, I will be leaving tomorrow”

“Okay sir, but sir what about the board meeting that will be coming up next week”

“ Well Henry will handled the meeting, the contract we are having with the other company worth a huge amount of money, so I want you and my P.A to handle it, I want to go home, I have missed my family, let’s say I’m going on a vacation”

“No problem sir, enjoy your stay over there in Nigeria” she said with a bit of british accent

“Thanks Patricia”

“You are welcome sir, I will take my leave now” she said and walk out of the office

“Hmmmm, I guess a little surprise won’t be bad, my wife will be shock to see me though. This is the first time I will be visiting Nigeria without letting her know” I thought…
