I'm sure she found him with one of his flings and I'm thinkin in a compromising position. Linda should pls take her time and not give more kids to a man who isn't ready to be a responsible husband. I wonder why men are callously selfish @times.

Nice update TiffanyJ

Some men not all. Don't also forget that it takes the grace of God for personalty like that of Henry to change overnight. And personally I feel marrying Henry might not end up being a best option for Linda but let's wait and see how things unfold
Re: A Man To Call Her Own by TiffanyJ(f): 11:14am On Jul 31, 2014
Linda stared in horror as Henry and a lady kissed pationately. She must be an employee in the agency because she was putting on their tag.
The two were so engrossed in what they were doing they didn't hear her come in.
She watched as Henry tried to unbutton her shirt. It wasn't until the lady moaned that Linda let go of the lunch box she was holding.
The noise startled the two lovers. Henry turned towards it and found his wife in tears.
'Sweetypie'
'don't call me that'
she said before blindly running out of the office.
'come back here Linda'
Henry shouted but he might as well be talking to himself because Linda was already gone.
He looked at the lady in front of him. The lust he was feeling a few minutes ago was no more.
'get out of here'
he told her
'but my love i...'
'i said you should get the hell out of this place'
he shouted her. The lady picked her things and walked out.
'Esther'
Henry shouted his secretary name. The woman appeared in a few seconds.
'I'm sorry sir, she...'
'Esther for goodness sake send someone to clean up this mess'
he said as he indicated the food on the rich carpet.
He picked his phone and dailled Linda's line. It was ringing in the office. It was at that moment that his secretary saw the clutch bag on the floor.
She picked it up and handed it to Henry. He unlucked the bag and found her cellphone inside.
'cancel all my schedules for the day. I'm going home'
He picked Linda's bag, his laptop and briefcase out. At his car, a thought came to him.
He opened Linda's bag and found her car keys. He looked around and sighted her car in the parking lot.
Henry drove home with mixed feelings. The security man informed him that his wife wasn't at home.
He walked to their room and changed into a casual set of clothes. Where the hell was Daisy? Henry wondered.
He drove to his sister's house and confirmed that neither his wife nor daughter was there.
He tried his last destination; his father's house and found Daisy with a maid. His wife was no where to be found.
He quietly returned home and await her returned.

* * *
Linda had ran out of the building into the street. She had forgotten she owned a car.
She ran down the street without stopping. It wasn't until she began finding it difficult to breath that she finally stopped.
It didn't even mattered that her toes hurt, her heart hurts much more. She walked for over an hour before she found a place to sit down.
'how can you treat me so Henry, don't you know that i love you to a fault?'
she sobbed quitely. It began raining heavily. Linda didn't even look for shelter. She didn't care. She was already regreting her marriage to Henry Joseph.
She vowed to continue on her pills. She couldn't risk taking in again, not with the way her husband is behaving.
It rained for over two hours. Linda sat in the rain. Soon, it was drizzling and she was very cold and shivering.
It was getting dark when she began sluggishly walking back home.
Home to a cheating husband. It didn't sound like a place to call home again.
She knocked on the gate by 8: 15pm feeling alone, cold and betrayed.
The securityman quitely let her in. She kicked off her shoes and went into the house.
Henry quickly went on his feet on seeing her. She walked up the stairs to their room. She was freezing and her teeth were chattering.
She stood staring at herself in a mirror. She looked horrible. Her eyes were swollen. She might actually fall ill.
Henry walked into the room. He quietly unbuttoned her shirt and helped her out of her skirt.
Linda didn't have the strenght to protest. He carried her to the bathroom and gently lay her in the bathtub filled with hot water.
After a few minutes, he help her out of the tub and into a simple nightie.
Henry made a cup of tea for her but Linda couldn't swallow it. He helped her into bed and slipped in beside her.
He pulled her to him and whispered quietly in her ears.
'I'm sorry Linda, I'm really sorry'
a tear rolled down her cheeks. She was still shivering.
'Linda, you are shivering, i need to keep you warm. Please don't protest'
Henry told her. She felt him remove his clothes. He went for her own nightie, she remembered what she had witness earlia in his office and stiffened.
'please Linda, you are shivering'
She didn't care

true talk.
Re: A Man To Call Her Own by TiffanyJ(f): 11:23pm On Jul 31, 2014
* * *
Linda forced her eyes opened. Her mouth felt dry and her body felt so fatique.
'You are awake sweetypie'
Henry walked into the room with a breakfast table. He placed it beside the bed. He kissed her on the cheeks.
'come on Linda, it's time for breakfast'
she realised she didn't have apetite for anything.
'I'm not hungry'
'but you have to eat. I don't want you falling ill'
'i'm not hungry Henry, please take whatever you've brought away from me'
'Linda, you are my wife, those other ladies can never take your place in my life'
Two fat tears rolled down her cheeks. If only he knew just how hurtful his words were.
'please eat'
she forced herself to chew on the bread then quickly gulped down the tea.
'Daisy?'
she asked him.
'in the nursery. We short father on an emplooyee. One of his maids is now her nanny'
She sighed. What if he began an affair with this lady. Henry must have read her mind.
'I promise you sweetypie, there won't ever be anything between me and her'
'okay, that lady i saw you with, transfer her to another state'
'but she worked for my father not me'
'just do it and i don't care how'
'hy you...'
'don't talk to me and don't touch me until the transfer is issued'
He bath and went to his office.

* * *
The Nicholas paid them a visit on sunday afternoon.
'Linda, you've emaciated. What is the problem?'
Tara asked her
'just adjusting to married life. How are Shan and Eugene doing?'
'They are doing great. So how is marriage treating you?'
'good'
the two women prepared dinner of semovita and egusi soup. The four ate in silent.
'how about we try our luck for another child?'
Tara asked her husband
'no'
'Eugene is over two'
'i said no Tara and i'm damn serious'
His face really sound serious. He angrily left the dining table. He had lost apetite.
Tara ignored him, she munched on her food with full vigor. Henry and Linda ate quietly. They had their own problems to think off. Neither Tara nor Jordan seemed to notice the unusual silent between them.
Soon after the Nicholas left, Linda went upstairs to bed. She looked at the irony of life; Henry wanted a child while she didn't meanwhile Tara wanted one and her husband didn't.

* * *
'Linda, i need to talk to you. Please'
Tara told her the next day. She had visited Linda from school. The two were sitting on Linda's bed.
'I'm all ears Tara'
'Henry will soon be back. I need to talk with you privately'
'Henry won't be back for another thirty minutes'
'lets take a stroll Linda. I really need to talk to someone. Can you give me an hour of your time?'
'okey'
she picked her purse and phone from the dressing mirror. The two left the house and began walking down the street.
Tara was chattering a bit too much. Linda wondered what Tara so desperately want to talk about.
After walking for close to thirty minutes, Linda was about to suggest they went back when Tara sighted a bar.
'come Linda, i need a drink'
Linda was astounded. Tara doesn't drink. She watched as Tara ran into the bar like a child who had just been offered a pack of candy.
The two women were all in jeans trousers. While Tara wore a yellow blouse, Linda wore a green T-shirt.
Linda followed Tara into the bar. She found her seated in a chair close to the window. Linda sat opposit her.
'Tara, what are we doing here?'
Tara ordered for two bottles of red wine.
'Linda, i left my bag at your house, hope you have some cash in that purse of yours'
Linda nodded a yes. Tara unsealed a bottle, pour some into a cup and gulped it down her stomach.
Linda followed suit. After all, she too had issues in her marriage. Soon the two women were competing. The ordered for two more bottles.
Both were already drunk. They were into the second bottled when Tara made an announcement.
'Jordan will surely kill me Linda'
'And i want to kill Henry over and over again'
'why?'
Tara asked
'He is cheating on me'
she blurted out while laughing.
'while, i'm pregnant Linda'
'you are kidding'
'i'm not. Tell me who that woman that your husband was cheating on you with. I will make her pay'
'rilly?'
The two totally forgot the time. It was already 9pm. And they drunkenly plotted against their husbands

Re: A Man To Call Her Own by mikedimeji(m): 4:07am On Aug 01, 2014
Am surprise everybody is castigating Henry and I believe we've been following the story closely. Henry had numerous girl friends out of which Linda was one of them. Linda ran away and later discovered she was pregnant. From the storyline am sure u will agree with me that Henry got married to Linda not Becos he loved her that much to marry her but Becos she already has a baby for him after all, all along that they were dating he kept on reiterating that he wasn't ready for marriage. So if Linda feels between the twinkling of an eye a 32yrs old man that has numerous girl friend will suddenly marry and then settledown for his wife alone then she must be a joker. Let's not deceive ourselves it takes the grace of God for a guy to marry one out of his numerous girl friend at hand and later stick to only his wife. Had it been he used to have girl friends before and later decided to stick to only one them for a long time and they both got married is a different thing entirely. But what Henry did was marrying one of his numerous girl friends that has a baby for him Becos he feels he should have a family, and remember his father actually asked him whether or not he was sure he want to get married. So for me I blame Linda knowing the kind of person Henry is and still going ahead to marry him. Mind u am not saying what Henry is doing or has done is a good thing but don't u think it's very difficult to seperate Dog from bone.
Nice job TiffanyJ. Still expecting ur mail so I can connect with u before leaving Z town.

Ronke001: Why is pregnant Tara consuming alcohol?

Exactly the same thing I thought. I also do not blame Henry for his character seeing the type of home he came from which gave him a bad notion about marriage neither do I blame Linda for loving him blindly even with his silly behaviour. Tiffany ur work is really a lovely piece which is y I think u re really rushing it . Some chapters were like u were writing a summary or simply not giving us the details. Aside few typos ur work is great n ur story line superb. More ideas to u dear.
Re: A Man To Call Her Own by TiffanyJ(f): 1:09pm On Aug 01, 2014
'Tara, your last pregnancy nearly killed you'
Linda told her.
'does that mean i can't have any children?'
Linda ordered for another bottle. She was in her third. Tara picked challenge and ordered for another.
'can i tell you a secret?'
'you should'
'i'm already regreting the fact that i married your brother'
'hmmm. I'm sorry Linda'
'don't be. But i promise you Tara, i will get even with Henry'
'Jordan forced me into going for birth control. Can you imagined that? Well, i've stopped and i'm pregnant and i don't know how to let him know'
'you had better tell him. Meanwhile, your cheat of a brother is trying to force me into having another child'
a man in black T-shirt and a white pants appeared at their table. He looked at the two drunken women before him and nearly laughed.
'ladies, we are closing the bar for the day. Can you settle your bills and go home?'
'go home? But we just arrived here'
Tara shouted at him.
'it's already 11:30pm'
Linda fumbled through her purse, she managed to remove the whole money in it and handed it to the bartender. He smiled up at her and left.
'Linda, call your husband to come pick us up'
'no, you call your husband'
it never occur to the women that not once had Linda's phone rang since they left home or their husbands were worried sick that their wives were no where to be found.
It didn't even occur to them that a search party had been combing the streets of Abuja for them.
'okay, i have an idea, since it's your phone, call your husband. We are really stranded here'
Tara told Linda amidst laughter.
'no, you call him, afterall, he is your beloved brother and i'm still not talking to him'
Tara snatched the phone from Linda. She discovered that it was switched off.
'Linda, why did you switched off your phone'
'i didn't switch it off. Just accept the fact that you don't want to make the call'
She snatched the phone from Tara and stared in horror at it.
'don't give me that i told you so look'
she switched on the phone. Immediately, Henry's call came in. She handed the phone to Tara.
'hello'
'good God Tara what happened'
'nothing'
'are you drunk?'
'maybe'
'Linda?'
'right here. We are stranded. Please come and pick us up'
Jordan snatched the phone from Henry. As soon as she heard his voice, she swiftly gave the phone to Linda
'Tara, i will beat you'
'sorry Jo, it's Linda not Tara'
'tell her i said i will definately beat her up'
'okay'
'where are you now'
'at a bar'
'what's the name'
'bartender, what's the name of this bar?'
she shouted. The man told her.
'I think he said the orbit'
'you think? You are not even sure?'
'Linda!'
it was Henry's voice. She quickly gave the phone to Tara.
'Henry the bar is closing stop wasting time'
she said and managed to cut the call. The two stared at each other and burst into laughter.
'Ladies, you have to leave'
the bartender told them again.
'we are waiting for our husbands'
Linda shouted. Two men came to their table. The fair of the two stood behind Linda while the dark behind Tara.
'Hy Ladies, my friend and i will escort you home'
'No, thanks'
Linda snapped
'why ever not'
'we are waiting for our husbands'
Tara shouted.
'you ladies are not married. Just come with us'
the tall fair man told them. Linda and Tara raised their right hands to the air.
'can you see our rings?'
'it doesn't matter. Even married women have affairs. You two won't regret knowing us'
'our husbands won't take it likely with you'
The two men forced Linda and Tara away from their seats. The two women struggled in vain to flee from them but they were drunk and witless.
two men walked into the bar at that point in time. Two tired and angry looking men.
'get your hands off my wife'
Jordan shouted. The two men released Tara and Linda.
'we told you they will come'
Tara laughed. Jordan went to her. He felt like slapping her. He would have actually done that if she had not went on her knees and threw up the alchohol she digested.
He removed some money from his wallet and dropped it on the table for the bartender before leading her away.
Henry quitely pick Linda and swung her over his shoulder. The four of them boarded Jordan's car to Henry's and Linda's duplex.
The men were all quite while the women chatter away. They were both thinking of the most possible way to punish their wayward wives.
