After pushing her into the hands of another man he now regained his senses, this is how some men pushed away the women that loves them and then go into the hands of women that will skin them alive. Hmmmmm

The attraction btw the va.gina and pe. nis is the cause of majority of the problems in marriage and the world in general.

if there was no sex,marriage would have been without many problems.

Nice story,so far.

Awaiting continuation.

Re: Love, Lies And Divorce(lld) by olayinkaj2(m): 1:28pm On Apr 24, 2017
Wow! Interesting story. Zainab is gradually loosing her man, she shouldn't have rejected her husband's advances when he requested to have her. The shock that will hit her when she finally finds out that Abdul is having an affair with Lola is still doing press up on benin-ore road. Amaka should better not mess up herself with Ben because Sly will be so mad at the two of them.

Edima should just take it easy with Omale, Jun is just jealous and wanting to ruin her new found happiness. As for Femi, he has just lost something precious. We want the concluding part please, biko.... Nice job.

‘what do you have to say Femi? Is your girlfriend pregnant for you? What do you want…just bring me the damn divorce papers and let me sign and end my misery…’ she folded her arms waiting for him to speak up…

‘I don’t want the divorce no more Lola, I have been a fool, I don’t know why I became this egocentric person…I am sorry for all the things I did to you…please forgive me and take me back…I swear never to hurt you again…’ he went on his knees….

‘Bleep! What’s this Femi? Is this some joke to humiliate me further? What are you talking about’? she bit her lip and gazed out the window like the answers to this lay there…

‘I know I messed up big time, allowing my relatives talk you down, bringing women home…I was just being stupid…but I promise to do anything for you…please baby…’ he held unto her hand….

‘Femi, I am quite sure that woman you travelled with has jilted you…now get out of my room, I don’t have time for this…I’ll be heading out…I want to see those papers by evening else I would be the one filing for divorce and you know what that means…I could win everything’ she gestured with her hands…

‘no, Lola …you can’t do that to me…I regret my actions deeply but believe in me…I am changed…’ he wondered what had changed in her…

‘I don’t have time for this…just get out…’ she opened the door and beckoned on him to move out…

‘I love you Lola…please don’t lose faith in me…’ he walked out dejectedly…

‘no this cannot be happening…this isn’t real…’ she sobbed…what was going on here? why was Femi acting all nice?
And to think that she’d done the very same thing she was judging him for, made her feel sick…she wasn’t a saint too….she was sleeping with her friend’s husband….
***
‘so you’re saying he kissed you on the lips’? Zainab arched her brow as Amy narrated her story…

‘yes Zee, right here…’ she pressed her fingers to her lips, getting more confused by the hour…

‘so how did you feel when he kissed you…’? Zainab dropped the tray of biscuits and focused on her friend…

‘I don’t know Zee, I felt this connection…I actually liked it and I can’t get it out of my mind….’ Amy replied exasperatedly
What had she gotten herself into?

‘hey, it’s okay, don’t be too hard on yourself…remember what you and Sly are going through? Maybe this was an outlet for your anger…don’t you think’?Zee rubbed her shoulders affectionately…

‘I don’t know Zee, why should I enjoy another man’s kiss’? she closed her eyes briefly…

‘now that’s the problem, I think you should forgive Sly and mend things with him before a big crack opens in your marriage, something you’ll never be able to fix…’ Zee poured them some juice…

‘whoa wait, you think I could actually sleep with another man, is that what you’re saying’? Amaka’s eyes went wild…

‘don’t be offended but these things happen, you are still holding a grudge against your husband, that need to revenge is still buried inside you and if you don’t solve this problem, you’re going to listen to that need, you’ll satisfy it and you’ll be miserable…’Zee held out a glass to her…

‘I can never sleep with another man, I’m wired differently…it’s just that Ben is hot and he is a flirt, he was the one that kissed me and not the other way round…’ Amy tried to defend herself…

‘so what? What’s your point? I have a feeling you are attracted to this guy…but you know me, I don’t support what’s bad….call Sly right now and fix a date with him…go out and talk about your feelings, forgive him and move on…you’re even lucky this man confessed to cheating…you’re being immature to me…just accept this, deal with this and move on or you get a divorce…’ Zee blurted out in irritation…

They’d been talking about this issue for weeks now, why couldn’t Amy get over it?

‘whoa slow down, are you okay’? Zainab had never been this harsh with words…something wasn’t going on well with her…

‘I’m sorry I sounded that way…I’m just in a bad place’ she sighed and faced the wall. No, her friends couldn’t see her like this, she was the perfect one, with the perfect home and the perfect husband…

‘maybe you are right, maybe I am immature…it just hurts so much…’ Amy allowed Zee’s words to sink in…

‘okay…I’m glad you finally get the point…’Zee took a seat…

‘so what’s wrong with you, talk to me’ Amaka was curious…

‘I don’t know if this sounds weird, but deep down I feel I and Abdul have drifted apart…like we’ve lost each other…I don’t seem to understand him anymore and I feel he is cheating on me as crazy as that sounds….’ She rolled her eyes, maybe she was being paranoid but she just had this hunch…

‘wow, you’re right…it’s really crazy….Abdul is the perfect man…he would never cheat on you in a million years, if he wanted to, he would’ve gotten another wife already….wait, where is this coming from? Do you have evidence’? Amaka shook her head…

‘not really, it’s just…’ Zainab hesitated…

‘just what ?’ Amy widened her eyes, just as Zee was about to speak, the door flung wide open and a happy looking Lola walked in…

‘Lola!’ her two friends gasped….

‘my God, it’s been ages…I miss you so much…’ Amy rose and embraced her…

‘wow somebody looks happy…’ Zee hugged her and rubbed her hair…

‘thanks to You Zainab, I’m now back on my feet….i’m totally excited…’ Lola poured herself a drink…

‘wow, it’s nice to meet you guys again, I wasn’t expecting you…where’s Edima’? Lola had hoped only Zee would be around but she was surprised to see her other friend Amaka…

‘Oh Edima called hours ago…she’s fine…you should return her calls or text her back…’ Zainab advised Lola…

‘yes I would…so what were you two discussing about…’ Sitting there right in front of the woman’s husband she was bleeping made her feel weird….how could she do this to Zainab?

‘Zainab thinks Abdul is cheating…can you imagine that’? Amaka filled her in….

Lola didn’t speak, her face went white and her fingers trembled…had Zainab caught wind of her affair with Abdul…she would be dead…

‘are you okay Lola’? Zainab wondered why her friend looked so terrified…

‘oh, I’m fine…it’s just that I had a fever…’ Lola lied and averted her eyes from Zainab’s…she couldn’t do this, she couldn’t be this mean person to such a beautiful soul…

‘so you were saying something before Lola walked in….’ Amy carefully reminded her…

‘yes, there’s this young lady that came visiting, she said she worked with Abdul at the office and she was extremely pretty…..i just got scared…could he handle that? Working with such a pretty girl’? She hoped she wasn’t sounding crazy…

‘so you got intimidated by another woman’s beauty and you feel Abdul is sleeping with her…I guess you don’t have real problems Zee…’ Amaka smiled to herself…

‘no, I just know something isn’t right with him…’ Zainab insisted…

‘say something Lola…are you okay’? Amaka faced her…

‘you see, I think you got that idea that your husband is unfaithful simply because mine slept with his secretary…don’t you see the dots? Just forget it Zee, it’s all in your head, Abdul would never cheat on you…’ Amy was sure of this…

‘Sly cheated on you’? it was Lola’s turn to be shocked…

‘yes, and his cousin kissed me yesterday…’ Amaka cut in…

‘wow, have I been gone that long’? Lola smiled and reached out for some biscuits…she knew she had made a mistake by sleeping with Abdul…her friends meant the whole world to her and she’d betrayed one of them…

‘yes, and Edima likes this guy who doesn’t feel the same way…’ Zee added…

‘fill me in girls…I’ve been a lost sheep…’Lola chewed

‘before then, what has been up with you…you never really talked to me about Femi…why don’t you tell us about you…we’ve missed you Lola….’ Zainab felt her friend was avoiding the subject…

‘I can’t…it’s complicated…I feel stupid…’ yes, she was stupid for sleeping with Abdul…how on earth would she ever forgive herself…

He’d told her he loved her…but was it real? He’d cajoled her to pay Zainab a visit like nothing had happened….but who was he kidding? Sitting close to Zainab made her feel very guilty and she knew for sure that she would never return to this house…

‘go on dear…we can handle anything….’ Amaka saw the tears that had welled up in her eyes…

‘Femi came up with this crazy idea that he wanted a divorce, he travelled some days ago and returned today claiming he was sorry and he didn’t want no divorce again…I am confused, I don’t know what to do…’ she cried…

‘hey it’ s very simple…don’t cry, don’t let that bastard ruin you’ Amaka bit her lip as Zee’s eyes cautioned her…

‘well, tell him to prove it…if he really wants you to be together…he needs to work hard for it…okay’? Zainab ruffled her hair…

‘you think so’?More tears streamed down her face, tears of regret, tears of pain….how on earth did she get here….

‘I know so…’ Zee hugged her reassuringly …

***

‘what were you thinking coming over to my house like that’? Abdul thundered…what game was Farida trying to play with him?

‘sweetheart, you shouldn’t be this worked up about a little stunt I pulled, I only did that caused I waited all day and didn’t see you and what I had to tell you was quite important, please hear me out Abdul…’ she ‘d never seen him this angry…

‘and I had to lie to my wife that you’re my secretary….why did you do something like that Farida…you know what? I think our relationship is over…don’t call me, don’t come to my house ever again, I cannot have a LovePeddler like you break my marriage….’ He cursed…

‘LovePeddler? I’ll pretend I didn’t hear you Abdul…’ she felt stung by his cruelty…how could be so mean?

‘am serious Farida, don’t call me ever again…it’s over…’ he rose from the bed and was about storming out when her words stilled him…

‘no you cannot end this right now sweety, I am pregnant for you….’ Her lips quavered as she spoke the words waiting for his reaction….

‘what?’ he turned around and faced her…

‘yes, my love, I think it’s your baby…’ she rubbed her belly gently…

‘no you cannot be, we always use protection and even if it is, you aren’t a baby, you can take care of yourself…’he saw the determination that blazed in her brown eyes and he knew he’d gotten into trouble…

He knew girls like Farida, very manipulative and overly ambitious…

‘you want me to get rid of this baby? I cannot do such a thing…By Allah, I cannot spill blood…how could you even suggest something like that Abdul’? fear gripped her heart…

‘you heard me…what were you expecting? That I could marry a lowlife like you? I told you earlier, I cannot marry another wife…and you wer just for fun…why did you have to get pregnant…do you think you can ruin my happiness with Zainab’? anger coursed through him, he should’ve seen this coming…


‘I can’t believe this…but you said you loved me…what has changed Abdul’? she gingerly walked towards him…

He regarded her steadily, he didn’t push her away…

‘please don’t do this to me…I cannot have an abortion…I want this child to live…’ she begged him softly…

‘you’re really foolish to think I could ever be serious with a woman of your caliber…you’re a LovePeddler Farida…how many men have you slept with? Surely, I could never take you for a wife…so just go see a doctor and send me the bill….’ She walked gently away from her…

‘me? A LovePeddler?’ she bit her lips …how could he sound so different?

‘I have to go …call me when you see the doctor, he ignored her rants…

‘no, I wouldn’t get rid of this baby…why are you so eager to dump me’? she lifted her brows, she’d been around men enough to know when they got tired of a woman..…

His phone buzzed and he smiled ….

‘Lola….how sweet of you to call…I became worried you’d lost interest in me…’ he ignored Farida’s icy glare completely….

‘we really need to talk Abdul…let’s meet tonight…’ her voice was low and brooding….something was wrong he felt it…

‘okay? Let’s meet up at Blue Mountains Lounge….’ He suggested…

‘okay, time’? she asked…

‘eight would be fine by me…have a nice day love….’ He couldn’t wait to touch her again, Lola left him breathless the night before…

‘who was that Abdul’? Farida stood up to him….this man was a reckless womanizer…how could she have been this blind? He’d professed his love for her many times and here he was fawning over another woman minutes after ending things with her…

‘none of your business Farida, just get rid of that baby and stay away from my family or ….’ He frowned and watched her thoughtfully…

‘or else? You’re gonna kill me? Well bring it on…I’ll be right here waiting for you…but Abdul…you haven’t seen the last of me, I’ll make your life a living hell’ she hissed fiercely…

‘I don’t take the words of whores seriously….’ He smiled….

‘why do you keep calling me that? I never threw myself on you ….you pursued me…you made me fall in love with you with the hopes that you’ll marry me someday, everything I did, I did for you Abdul…and you’re judging me for it…you hurt me deeply with your words….’ He had truly hit a nerve…

‘well, I take it back…just stay away from me and my family…’ he walked out without looking back…

Her knees felt weak and she moved over to the bed, how could Abdul break her heart like this? How could she have been so stupid? So blinded by his charms….

Yes she had agreed to be his mistress, but she’d developed feelings for him along the line…now he would abandon her in her greatest time of need…

‘no, I’m not going to take this…I would ruin your life first….’ She pressed her phone carelessly…she had heard the name of the lounge he would meet his other girlfriend, that wasn’t his wife definitely…

‘hello Faruk, it’s me Fafa….i need you to track someone down for me and take pictures with whoever he is with…’

‘Farida? Ya kike?’ her cousin who majored in computer science at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University inquired…

‘I’m not fine Faruk, remember Abdul? The guy I told you about?....well, he just dumped me for another woman after I told him I’m pregnant …’ she sobbed…

‘yes I remember him, does he know your father is an Imam’? he had always preached to his cousin to shun her mundane ways but she called him old fashioned…now her life was a mess, if her father ever got to learn that she had been sleeping with a married man or being pregnant out of wedlock…she had a lot of explaining to do…

‘no, please help me Faruk, I need you to take pictures of him and this lady…maybe if I threaten to show them to his wife…he could marry me or work out something…you know very well that father would kill me if he ever found out about this…’ she prayed it worked out…

‘Farida…I warned you but you wouldn’t listen…I’m only helping you because I know what the Imam is capable of…I’ll try and take these pictures…you’re quite lucky am still in town, I wanted travelling to Bauchi today but for some reason, I changed my mind…’ he waited for her to speak up…

‘would you help me please or you can ask someone you know can handle this kind of thing to do it for you?

‘I will help you…what’s the address and time for this meeting’? he fetched his notepad…

He was an only child and had gotten very close to ‘Fafa’ as he usually called her, their bond was very strong and they were inseparable…he knew everything about Farida …and from the way she sounded, he knew he had no other option than to help her no matter how much the idea of stalking someone irked him, he just had to do it…

‘nagode, thanks very much…’ she ended the call…

Abdul would beg her soon enough, she hoped it worked out well….

Re: Love, Lies And Divorce(lld) by Stevenbright(m): 8:45am On Apr 30, 2017
Buttersss:
what’? maybe she hadn’t heard him well as the words faded the moment he spoke them….

‘I want my freedom Lola, marriage was never for me…I don’t wanna be with you anymore….so just go wherever…I’m done here….’ he licked his lips and drank some more….


‘no, this cannot be happening , no…Femi? You can’t do this to me…’ her sobbing increased…how could he throw to the birds everything they had shared….

‘it is happening baby…I know you married me because of my wealth….i promise you, you wouldn’t lack anything even after the divorce….i just want to be free…’ he continued and almost chuckled at her dramatic display…

‘no, you are drunk…that’s the beer speaking to me right now….you’re sick, if you think I’m gonna let you dump me just like that…we’re in this together, for better and for worse…please Femi I love you…can’t you see? I loved you from the first day we met in the library….my heart is in your hands, please don’t break it….’ She walked towards him and held his hands….she sought warmth, she yearned for comfort in his hands but they were cold….just like his eyes …

‘I am being honest, what have you offered me Lola? I needed children, this would be our seventh year in marriage and it isn’t working out as we planned, how many doctors? How many hospitals have we visited? Just look at me…look at us we weren’t like this…we need to go to our separate ways…I’ve already called a lawyer….he’s arranged the papers…I just need you to sign it….thank you…’ he released her arms and began walking out the door but her question stopped him…


‘Wait, Femi….are you doing this because of your family? Did you ever love me for real’? her eyes burned with fresh tears as she waited for the truth….


‘no Lola, I am doing this for me…and as for your other question? I once loved you…but love fades….’ He turned around and left….

‘God, let this not be real…where do I start from? How do I get over him’? all her life, she’d lived for this one man and he’d betrayed her…he’d broken his promises to her….

‘I might just have to take Zainab’s offer….’ She whispered fearfully as she tried to shake off the burden that weighed heavily on her…




***
‘you’ve been out all day…you left me and Odinaka alone….’ Sly wondered what had kept his wife this long from home…

She’d told her she had a date with Zainab and the other girls but he never expected it to be this long…he missed her dearly…

Amaka was still mad at him for having an affair with his secretary ….he felt guilty by what he’d done, his conscience pricked him day and night and he had no other option than to speak to their pastor about it…

‘Your wife owns you, she owns your body, and you have soiled it by sharing what belongs to her with another woman…many men wouldn’t do what you’re doing right now….they would neither show remorse or confess their sins to their wives….i’ll advise you to take one day fasting and pray to Jesus about it…tell him to take that judgment from you after which you confess to your wife….make her understand that it happened only once and you’re willing to forgo that secretary of yours….be more careful in future Brother Sylvester…’ Pastor Ike had advised him…

He loved Amaka with his dying breath…she made him happy as she respected him and treated him with utmost love and care…but he’d failed her greatly and he’d regretted it deeply….but the problem was that Amaka was a very unforgiving person…she kept grudges a lot and that was the only flaw in her…

‘and now I am back….sweetheart, did you miss mummy’? she ignored her husband and picked up her little son…

Sly had always been the perfect husband, till he cheated on her with his stupid secretary which he was still shagging for sure…

‘I made us dinner….’ Sly rose to his feet and got her bag….when was she going to get mad at him? When would she cry? …
After taking the advice of the pastor and telling Amaka about his misgivings…she simply looked him in the eye like she hadn’t believed what he told her….

After moments of being silent, her eyes which had turned cold faced him in challenge….

‘well Sly, since you have broken your vows to me…since you now enjoy the company of other women…I think I am also free to enjoy myself….’ She hissed and went back to sleep, that was two days before…

‘I already ate at Zee’s …goodnight….’ She walked away from him before he could say anything? Why was she making this difficult than it already was?

‘damn Doyin’! he hit the table angrily….he had no excuse to fall into her trap…it had only happened once and he hadn’t hesitated in firing her after the incidence…he loved Amaka that much…but how long would she give him the silent treatment?


He needed to talk to her….he loved his angel so much but his only wish was for her to forgive him…to yell at him…to do something…

Her silence was the worst punishment he could ever have….he shrugged and followed her towards their bedroom….

‘what are you doing now’? Sly raised his brows as she tied the baby to the back and started unpacking some boxes…his heart raced…was she leaving him?

‘moving to my room Sly, this isn’t the time…just get out of my way….’ Amaka ignored him and continued gathering the few things she needed…

‘your room?...but we agreed not to have separate rooms….’ He was relieved she wasn’t leaving him….

‘yes we did dear husband, but that was before you slept with Doyin….i cannot sleep on that bed with you knowing you found pleasure in the arms of another woman….’ She had to avoid him for some time and getting her own room would be the best thing….


‘Amaka…I am sorry, it only happened once and she’s been fired..so there’s no need for you to worry…I know I broke your heart and it’s going to take some time…but just stay right here with me…’ he went on his knees…

‘whoa slow down, so that’s supposed to make me feel better? That you have fired her? Do you think I am a fool Sly? You got that office romance thing going on since before our marriage…I guess I must have been to blind…I so hate you right now…get out of my way…’ she tried to move forward but he stopped her…..

‘Amaka…please remember the love we shared…please don’t let it die…it was a mistake….’ He held her hands but she pushed him off forcefully and went out of the room….

‘God help me, I cannot do this alone…’ he turned and scanned the room which now seemed empty as his angel was gone…

‘can you stop that and finish your food’? Zainab wondered what Abdul was typing, he’d seemed a lot busy the previous week..maybe it had to do with the celebrations…

‘Do not be angry with me baby…Alhaji Tako called me earlier in the day and asked me to see him tomorrow…it seems he has a contract for me…’ Abdul smiled at his lovely wife…he was so proud of Zainab…

‘Engineering was never easy…now drop the phone and finish your food darling….’ Zainab relaxed against the chair…she wasn’t happy about her friend’s situation…

She’d know Femi for some years now and he had always been ruthless in his womanizing ways, he never spared Lola the embarrassment…

Now he finally had the nerve to take one of his prostitutes home…if only Lola would hearken to her…she needed to change her environment…

Staying in that house wasn’t healthy for her…she needed to be alone for some time and think through the matter….what was Femi really after? What did he want?

‘so are you proud you married a civil engineer’? Abdul gulped generously from the glass …his wife wasn’t totally happy, though he’d bought her some gifts as well as the children…was her countenance part of his undoing? He hated to upset Zainab…she was the perfect woman for him…

‘yes dear, I am…’ his faced beamed with smiles as she replied his question….

‘so baby, did you see the lingerie I bought you? We should try something new tonight…I miss having you in my bed…’ he hoped the children weren’t close by…

‘Abdul! I saw them but I cannot wear such obscene clothes…they are meant for those who work in brothels….a muslima shouldn’t be found wearing such things….’ She voiced her displease with his gift…

‘okay…I am sorry my wife, but are you kissing me tonight’? it had been a long time since they’d made love…
He understood her reasons but he couldn’t wait any longer, three weeks was a long time….Zainab had been very busy preparing for the Celebrations and she was part of the executive in the MWOL(Muslim women Organisation Lagos…) so he knew than to bother her…

‘tonight? I don’t know Abdul…you know I had a date with my friends, I am a bit fatigued….but we’ll see…’ she peered at the clock and wondered if Lola was still going to make it…

‘speaking of your friends…how are they? Haven’t heard much from Lola…is she okay’? Abdul always favored her…

She reminded him of his wife sometimes…a closer look at the two would make one think they were related…

Lola was tall ,slender , light skinned and had the most attractive form…her lips weren’t full but slightly thin…her nose was sharp and angular and her eyes were golden and bulky…she was a very beautiful woman…

But not as beautiful as his Zainabu, his wife was the most lovely woman, though he was Fulani, she was a hausa woman…she was five feet plus and her hair was quite long as it fell beneath her shoulders… she was very lightskinned and her lips were pink and pale…but the smile that came from them could tame a raging lion….

Her nose was broad and finely placed on her oval face…her eyes were wide and dark brown…


‘I don’t know baby but they would be fine…’ she didn’t make it a point of duty to expose her friend’s marital problems to her husband…but when their problems were about to swallow her peace…she had no other option than to spill it…


‘do you want to talk about it?’ he asked gently and reached for her slender fingers….

‘should i? we’ve both had a long day, maybe we should get some sleep…’ she returned…

‘tell me Zee…talk to me, it kills me whenever you’re like this…like you’re carrying the weight of the world…’ she was so caring and that alone had its consequences…

‘Lola had a fight with Femi….i told her she could come stay over the night…I hope it is okay? As she sounded so hurt on the phone…’ Zainab sought his permission…

‘anything you want baby, whatever makes you happy…this house also belongs to you…’ he gave her hand a squeeze…

‘I love you baby…you’re the man behind my smile…thanks for being there for me whenever I need you….’she smiled at him.

‘hey, don’t be too hard on yourself, your friend’s are my friend’s too…maybe I should talk to Femi…what do you think’? he inquired thoughtfully? Not that he was very close to the man, but his behavior towards Lola was degrading…

‘no baby, let’s stay out of it….they’ll sort themselves out somehow…’Zainab protested….

He was about to say something when the door flung wide revealing a fearful Lola…she looked so fragile and vulnerable …

‘I guess she took my offer…’ Zainab rose to welcome her friend ….


‘good evening….i am sorry I barged into the house like this…it’s just the dogs…..their barking and growling terrified me…’Lola placed her hands on her chest …

‘welcome Lola, I am sorry about that…you know how much I love dogs….’ Abdul gazed at her slowly…had she been crying?

‘darling? Could you go to the room and check on the kids’? Zainab deliberately sent her husband away…she needed to comfort her friend, one look at Lola would tell anyone that she needed to talk to someone…
