I thought i was going to get some sleep, then i came back to read comments, i couldnt stop laughing, am healed now.

And to think i actually decided to give just half of the episode for today, like i brought the full one.....i could just imagine the hilarious comments.

Well not every part of a story should turn right, the bad has to happen and then the lessons follow.


Forgive Kate, naa that thing called love is stronger than her brain.

Thinking of updating nextweek, but will have to kill the suspense. See you at 12pm tomorrow

EPISODE 47

Huh, I replied. I know you are tired or probably not in the mood, but I owe you a thank you. You could have just left me here to die considering the fact that I married you when you do not want to but you took care of me. Thank you. I hope to repay that gesture someday. Are the babies fine, he paused and sighed? Nectar said with all sincerity.


“I realized I was getting emotional so I quickly pushed myself away facing the other end, only my heart knew I so much wanted to say something, but sleep suddenly took over.


“For five days Matts has been avoiding me. I can’t tell what she doesn’t want me to find out.”

In and out of the hospital, nectar is recovering faster than I thought. Am also glad I don’t need an operation anymore. I thought to myself and smiled.


I had to hand over my work to Stacy and increase her income plus some holiday treat once I resume because when I put to bed she has to handle a lot. I kept talking to myself so loud.

You may think I was running mad since everyone practically ignores me now, why don’t I talk to myself. I hissed.


Walking pass siblings over dinner, they should marry each other and leave me alone. I thought! Was about to climb the stairs when I heard Matts ask if am not joining them.

I paused in my track; I was already tired of this feud between us. I thought it’s a family affair. I said rather loudly.

I know it was not funny, but they both smiled. Can we have that talk afterwards? Kate quickly replied before matts changes her mind.

After a minute or two of silence. Katie am sorry for the last few days. That is fine, am sure I also have a lot to apologize. Let us talk about the latter.

I do not know what secrets Mandy talked to you about. It has something to do with my Dad, Kate quickly said. Emmm okay. I know your Dad visited county a few times and I have no idea what he does there.


Is that all. Kate said in a shocking tone. Yes! Matts replied sincerely. Where have you been lately? Kate further asked.


Was investigating how nectar consumed that poison. Did you find anything? Not yet Kate! Keep me updated then. Oh really, I didn’t know you would be interested, matts asked surprised.

Why would you even think that. Matts, I am trying here, you know! At least I have softened up to nectar or you haven’t noticed. Assume your wifely duties and I will believe you, “matts said with Kate grinning with that look of it will take time”.

Katie, she brought me out of my reverie. Who recommended Stacy to you, matts asked with a look am not able to read now. Why did you ask Matts, is there a problem? No Katie, I was just wondering what happened to the last one.

We were sitting on my bed; I was hoping to hear something I have not heard yet but I was disappointed. She stopped in her track while on her way out.

I don’t know if you should know but Mandy might be innocent of the murder charge. Please do not ask how? Because I don’t have answers yet. Whoever let him out might have found some new evidence.

“Which is? Kate asked obviously shaken. Katie, I don’t know.” What I know is, he is out there and am here with you. Matts said. Do you love Mandy? Kate found herself asking Matts hysterically.

“Seriously, Katie! You should not be asking that, because he disgusts me.”

Goodnight then. I said and wondered where nectar has gone to by this time of the night. We really need to talk, I kept playing that in my head.

*********

I finally resumed work after a whole two weeks. Everything just seemed out of place in my life right now, I complained to Stacy, who was staring at me with a weird look I have never seen her wearing before.

“Kate you are not about making her problems yours! You have enough already.” I spoke to my mind.

From one tension to another at home, drake will not stop bothering me. Fed up with our friendship already. As he will not stop sending me too many messages.

Drake out of my life for this while I feel I have lost a bigger part of me. Weird feeling, I thought. Anthon and James could not advise him out of it.


I was busy with some paper works, when my phone rang. I picked it up without checking the caller.

“I just want to hear your voice. His deep masculine tone melted my anger”. He always sounds polite when he needs to have his way with something he knows I would be against.


I wanted to hang up but I always love the way he goes about talking to me on phone. Kate what are you doing, I quickly asked myself. It’s not as if I still love him, I tried convincing my mind. I hanged up and he called several times which I did not answer. Then a message came in.


Jerry’s bar. Six pm. I will really love to see you. If you need explanations, please come alone.
Bradley, sorry Mandela.


I kept staring at the message every minute for close to thirty minutes. I contemplated on going, then to calling Matts. It’s six already but I still have not made up my mind yet. I was driving the other way home, when his message came in again.

"I will be waiting until you come. I know you want to see me. I promise not to hurt you." .


I turned back, and took the other root to Jerry’s bar. He knew that was our favorite hangout. How could he invite me there again? Memories started hitting my head. Within some few more minutes on the road, I got inside the bar. I spotted him in his usual attire for this kind of hang outs. He made to hug me, which I refused, though I so much wanted to.


Now start talking. You look gorgeous with your pregnancy. I wished that child is mine. That is what I always dream of all the time in jail.


Could you just say what you called me here for or I walk out? Kate finally stopped thinking about what she should enjoy with him and rather want to concentrate on finding answers.

No, don’t leave, he said. As I told you the last time, I didn’t sleep with any girl. Moreover, nobody died. Let me first say, my real name is Bradley, someone planted you in your life.


I could feel the energy and fire radiating through my body. I was just imaging myself in his arms. Kate are you with me. Talk am listening, I managed to control that part of my mind.


He made to touch my hands a few times, most times, he succeeded, but I just wish we were already unclad in the bars washroom. I remember our encounter in that washroom.

This gentle man here is igniting a fire I just cannot quench. He always does. We end up having sex several times a day. Those days, I could not keep my hands off him.

I thought I was addicted to sex until the break up. I was celibate for 4years, now am beginning to think the addiction is back. I was deep in thoughts, then I felt his hand smooching my palm, before I knew it, I gave him a hard push.

I was about going when he held my hands. I was not ready for any love game as he was searching for God knows what in my eyes. If you are not ready for this, I can still walk out. Kate managed to say.


He kept staring, struggling to make a decision, while I looked elsewhere. There was silence for close to a minute, Kate knew he wanted her to make that decision for him.

Kate threw caution and shyness to the air, at that point she did not care whether he wanted to or not. But I know I really want to have a mind-blowing sex at that moment.

Putting my feelings aside and his gaze still on me, I slowly brought my gaze on him now. The weakness in my legs and my body was increasing, and then my legs started wobbling.

I needed to do something quick, am not a one-minute kind of woman. I draw him closer, wherever that strength was coming from, I will deal with it later.


I was thinking he would not respond to my touches and kisses, but I just smiled knowing he wanted me as well.


Not completely sure what I was doing but what I know is Mandy has ignited something in me which I need to quench. We kept eating each other’s lips and body for close to ten minutes.

When he held me up, turning off the water switch and pulling my blouse off, he kept at kissing everything on my body until he brought me down to his level and making me hold on to the edges of the metal liner on the wall while he kept going at me for a while.

He turned my back to the wall, and that lasted for as long as he wanted. His moans were consistent and mine on the other hand was full of picturing myself in wonderland.


Whatever he was doing, he was careful with the pregnancy. I quivered under his breath; I could feel the pleasure running through his veins. I could see myself accepting all his strokes.


Whether what I was doing was right or wrong I just want to enjoy the moment while it lasts.
I just needed to satisfy my desires and we both collapsed in each other’s arm after letting out a loud moan and groan.


As if he came back to his senses, he turned on the shower, cleaned himself up, thought he was going to lift me up, but he just left me on the bathroom floor and said something while on his way out of the washroom.

So much of a nightstand. You could not even give me a good memory of this night.

I beg manage please, down with a flu

EPISODE 46

I cannot lose both husband and wife under my care. He tried walking away, and I held on to his white robe. Will he make it? He nodded. Kate sighed and rested her head gently on the pillow. Kate you have to stop worrying.


Yes, nectar’s mom chorused. Okay mom, Kate said faintly. We need to get home now; I will bring you some food later. Matts will stay here with you until your mom arrives. I totally forgot about my mom. Thank God, she is coming over. Kate sighed.


Matts, have you seen your brother yet. Kate managed to say. Are you sure he will make it? Not again Katie. Matts snapped. Matts, is it a crime to know how the father of my children is faring. Do not forget he is my husband. Kate said and rested her head gently.


Yes, I know, you do not need to remind me. Matts said. Then start talking, you know I have the right. Kate said inquisitively.


Katie, he is out of danger now, however they will let us see him tomorrow. His surgery was successful, take it easy. Matts sighed and said. Thank you, Kate replied with emotions written over her face.


Hey, baby! Am so sorry I was not here. Hi matts. Kate’s mom said when she made her way towards kate's bed.
I nearly cried on her but I was trying to be strong. I can't explain what I was feeling at that very moment, since from the happenings of the last nine hours.


Mom, what should I do? Baby, you need to get some rest. We will talk later; I need to let your Dad know you are not well, he has travelled. As if, he cares. Kate said frowning. Silly girl, get some rest. Kate’s mom said with humor.


She walked out and I saw Matts dozing off on a chair in a corner. She must be tired but she has a lot to explain.

“Matts, I called silently for close to a minute. Matts jumped to her feet, Katie are you all right. She asked instantly.”


Yes, I just want us to talk about Mandy. Kate asked while checking her forehead with the back of her palm, probably to check her temperature. Really, you want to talk about that now Katie. Matts popped up her eyes in tremor.


How can you be thinking about Mandy right now? I thought that few hours ago you were the same wife worried about her husband. Were you acting out there earlier? If you were, then you should quit your job already and join Hollywood. Matts kept blowing out of proportion.


Sorry, asking about Mandy does not mean, I don’t care about what happens to nectar. I just thought this is the right place to talk about what else you have been hiding from me, as Mandy was in my office few days ago, swearing you have been keeping some secrets. Kate tried to explain herself.


“Katie you are unbelievable, and Matts walked out.”

I did not see her until morning. Mom have you heard anything yet about nectar. I heard he is out of danger. I flung a sigh of relief. Am glad to know you are worried about him for once. Mom please, I have a headache do not start please. Mother and daughter kept talking.


How is my favorite patient doing today? Doctor Sylvester peeped in. I think I will be fine once I get to know my children are fine. Alright, that is good. Will send someone in to get some test done. If everything is okay, you can go home today.


Meaning I don’t, need that procedure you talked about right? Kate asked with much concern. Yeah, probably! Doctor Sylvester smiled and I saw his dimple.


Mom has Matts arrived yet. Kate asked when the Doctor left. No have not seen her yet my dear. Catherine replied. I did some few tests later and I heard nectar was feeling better already. They are just waiting for him to wake up from his sleep.


After a day and a half, they discharged me and mom took me home. I got home and I heard he woke up. I just said a silent prayer, whatever that means, I wasn’t sure.


Was not so eager to go see him when my mum asked. I have my own health to take care of, besides am not sure what I should tell nectar when I see him. I wonder where Matts went.


Mom! I can do that myself, do not stress yourself, mom said trying to serve me lunch. Your husband said I should take good care of you. When did he say that? I retorted! I visited him today. Okay, I want to get some rest mom. Kate, you have not asked how he is doing. Mom you just said that yourself, when you said he asked of me.

It means he is better. Treat him with care when he gets home. Okay, can I sleep now? I was sleeping on the couch after mom fed me up with vegetables, when the door opened. How did they drive in and I didn’t hear a thing? I quickly tried standing up to adjust myself.

No one bothered to tell me he was coming home. I gave my mum an accusing face and greeted nectar’s parents standing in the middle of the room.

Dad you and mum can go, you do not need to stay. Already Matilda is suffocating me in this house, if I need anything, I will call. Nectar said looking in my direction and his smile disappeared.

I was standing in one corner looking straight ahead, stealing glances at the drama unfolding in my house. Looks as if they are ignoring my presence on purpose. His mum finally asked how I was doing.

Then Matts came in with some few things from outside. With all their noises, they finally left. Soon after my mum left.

Matts was upstairs with nectar when I entered. I was really feeling guilty as if I was the one who poisoned him.
I could not look him in the eyes. I went to sit on the couch with my hands supporting my jaws trying hard not pay attention.

I could see from one corner of my eyes, whiles nectar gives his sister the “what’s going on look” and matts tries not to pay attention to my presence.

I finally gave up. The one person I could talk to in this whole house is ignoring me now. Matts can I talk to you, I finally said. If it is about your ex-boyfriend again, i'm not ready to hear that. Matts responded.

“Nectar glared at me, and sent his eyes back to what he was doing earlier”.

As you can see, i'm busy. Someone needs to take care of your husband so he does not end up under the knife and the theatre table again.

Really and what is that supposed to mean. Did I poison him and then waste my time worrying about him to the extent of nearly losing my children? Who does that?

Fine. If you are done, you can get out of my room. I have things to do. Kate said and walked out while banging the door so hard.

How did I get that strength? I know Matts is just trying to avoid the topic.
I didn’t know when I dozed off, but woke up to due to my tommy making noise.

I got something fixed up from the kitchen and went back to my room, hoping he would be asleep, found nectar asleep. I sighed a silent Thank Goodness.


I was about fixing my pajamas while sitting on the edge of the bed when I caught his gaze on me.
Covering myself with the duvet quickly, I think shyed him a little and he turned to the other side of the bed.

I quickly rushed the PJ over my legs and the shirt over my head, and then lied down facing his back.
As if he knew I was facing that side, he quickly turned before I could switch back. I was about to when he managed to say DON’T.

To be continued

Sorry i lost track of time, i know i said 12pm

EPISODE 45

“Kate was deep in thoughts, when she heard a loud scream. She tried rushing upstairs, stumbling a few times.”

The scene that greeted me was one I would not want to see in this condition. Nectar was convulsing and then tucked under the duvet. With his eyes swelling as if, he was breathing his last breath.

I was in no condition to carry him; I looked through the window and luckily saw the security seated munching on something. Jones, I shouted. Hurry upstairs.

I may never tell how I was able to drive on top speed since I always drive slowly. “One of my weakness Matts and Mandy never liked about me”. They would rather drive in their own rides.

Kate was restless walking through the whole hospital floor. She really cared about this dude. She thought. God save him for me, Kate prayed silently. She had no idea how she just managed to pray but she could barely control her emotions right now.

Since Matts was out of town, I had to call his mum. What happened, they asked. Mom, I don’t know. I just saw him convulsing. Mr. Glover was staring at me as if he does not believe me.

I recognized the man coming out as the doctor he recommended for my antenatal. I quickly rushed to him. How is he I managed through my emotions?

Mrs. Glover, can we talk in private please. I watched on while my mother in-law walked up to the Doctor.

No I mean, your sons wife. If i'm right, you are his mom. Doctor Sylvester said. I looked around and saw my father in law looking like he is out of this world.

Follow me, he said. Can we come too, I finally heard Mr. Glover asking as he has not spoken a word since he came to the hospital. If you don’t mind, I would like to speak to the wife alone. Huh! What is it? I almost forgot I was the wife. Doctor, what is it? I sat down trying to calm myself.

He ate some aggressive poison. I beg your pardon. Poisoned! How? I mean I eat the same food he eats so how is that possible. Kate inquired.

What was the last food he ate? Emmm, then I remembered he cooks his own food and I instantly felt guilty.

Mrs. Glover. Yes, Doctor. That name brought me out of my reverie. What was his last meal? I'm not sure but when he came back, he was not in the mood for food but went straight to bed. Kate lied.

Meaning he might have eaten from outside. The poison has done just about five hours’ damage. Where ever he might have been to after work is the problem then. He said and slumped into his chair.

I saw the fear in his eyes. Is it bad Doctor? Kate found herself fidgeting with her hands and asking in a worry tone. We did our best in there, but he is still in critical condition. Still in the ICU. I will do my best as a doctor, I know Glover he will pull through.


You brought him here on time. And how are the little ones doing in there. They are fine, Kate managed to say and smile.
Can I ask a question? Are you his friend? Kate asked the doctor. Why do you ask, I don’t really know any of his friends?


Are you sure, that is all Mrs. Glover. You can call me Kate.
You don’t need to be formal. Okay Kate. He called. So are you his friend, Kate asked once more.

And are you asking because you are worried about him. No Doctor i'm not. Kate said without any emotions. I said that before I realized it came out the wrong way. I mean Doctor, I want to be sure he is in very capable hands.


Who will not be worried, meeting a sight like that in your early stages could cause a miscarriage. I replied again.

You just said you are not worried. Common Doc am not heartless, i'm just scared he might not survive it. I understand you; your husband since he joined us in this hospital has rather been a reserved and workaholic type.


He has never gone on any of his breaks off duty. He appears to me as a rather strong man, than what you are worried over now. He will pull through.

No, we are not really friends. He hardly meets the rest of our colleagues for drink ups when we ask him to. However, I was very glad when he called on me a few weeks ago; he wanted me to be your doctor.


I was actually requesting for some breaks for some few months but he made me understand you are very important to him so I should do this for him. He offered to run my shifts for me. I saw this as a good gesture, meaning he is capable of loving, appreciating and above all trust.


He is a good man; at first, I thought he was just not capable of love. Doc why are you telling me everything I already know. Did he complain about me in anyway?

Come in please, Mr. Glover interrupted our conversation. Doctor, if anything i'm his Dad. I should be here as well. Mr. Glover standing at the door still ajar, I saw the sad face of Mrs. Glover. Looks like you have been in here for a while and a poor mother is out there scared out of her mind.

“Cold blue, I heard nurses rushing on the floor dragging along medical gadgets.” Then the Doctor rushed out, Nurse what is going on.


Code blue, room three. Your patient priority number one. OH geez, the doctor yelled and rushed away without saying anything. As if I do not know what cold blue is, I quickly rushed after him. He disappeared into one of the buildings.


Nurse, what is going on? I see everyone rushing in and out. Kate asked. One doctor Glover is …, she did not finish before I collapsed in my mother in laws arms.


When did she even follow me that I did not realize? I woke up for what looked like hours because my doctor was attending to me. Looks like he has finished resuscitating Nectar. Tell me, is he okay. I managed to say silently. Do not stress yourself I heard Matts say.


Matts you are here. Is he okay? Katie, relax. The babies are not doing well. Let the doctor check you up first. Why is no one talking? Mum, Dad. I called out to my in-laws. They just looked on with so much sadness on their faces.


Someone talk to me, I yelled. Come down Kate. Let me just check this wonderful twins. They are important; your husband will not forgive me if I let anything happen to you.


We will talk when am done. I just thought what the point was, risking these children’s life. Okay. I breathed heavily and gave permission to proceed.


With Matts holding my hands. I watched on while Doctor Sylvester did his checkups and finally sighed. One of the twins are having a poor heartbeat. I will give you a few medications and watch you for this evening. If tomorrow morning you are still not okay, then we operate immediately.


You need to take it slowly from now on. Relax. Worry will not help you. Can you do that for me? The Doctor told Kate.

Goodnight you all... Really wanted to update like 10 but my brain is kind of HOT now. Lets continue tomorrow. Thank you for reading

@Oyinda8100

@oluwasegun795

@emeraldgold1


Say Hi on your way out

Pearl05:
You are really trying with the update but I can't � just help asking for more.

Nectar should be the man of his house please. Who could be after Kate's life? The person that wanted to blackmail her but failed?

As for Drake maybe a hook up with matt will be good.

@Pearl05 Dont treat matts like that now. She is trying her best. As for nectar, i dont know what is wrong with him oooo

EPISODE 44

Careful you don’t fall. I heard nectar say and I just ignored him. Matts, are you sure Mandy is locked up, I asked immediately I entered her room.


Yes, I made sure he has. Why? Are you thinking he was the one who attacked us earlier? Matts asked with a curious grin on. I just received a letter from him. Kate managed to say through her fears. What? How? Where is it? Matts was lost as to what to ask.


I destroyed it. Kate replied. What did the letter say? Matts asked giving me the impression she is hiding something from me. I could not finish reading. ”I just read the greetings.” “Hope to see you soon, then I tore it up.”


Wait here let me check out. Matts brought out her phone, trying to make some calls. I thought to myself what she is up to again.

He had ten years’ jail time for second-degree murder. He should still be in by now right. Kate further asked when Matts seems to be avoiding the topic.


Katie, it is okay to be scared. He will not hurt you, am here for you. Matts, thank you but what do we do now? I managed to say while sitting on Matt’s bed with my face in my palms.


When? How? I heard Matts asking while looking back a few times towards my direction. Let me know when you find out. Don’t give me that crap; she flared up in between her calls.


A month and you never bothered to tell me about it, you know I have a personal interest in this case. Just be quiet, what do I sex you for in the first place. It is over just get rid of my number. Matts angrily hanged up looking in my direction weirdly.


It looks like whoever you were speaking to just gave you the worse news. What is going on Matts? It sounded like that was about Mandy.

Don’t worry your head. She finally said while moving towards me. Matts it didn’t look like things are fine between you and the man whose bed you keep gracing to keep a certain secret.

I can handle what it is. I replied even though I know my stand already. Katie, relax! Mandy has been out for a month now, and he never bothered to tell me about it. She finally said, that gave me a bit of relief.

“At least he may not try anything funny yet, since obviously he wouldn’t want to go against probation laws.” I kept thinking to myself again. Then I felt Matt’s hands waking me out of my reverie.


Are you going to tell me who the HE is? Kate asked Matts. Just a booty call, friend in the Judges’ office. Well that is over now. Can we get dinner ready? Your husband might be hungry by now. Matts grinned.


I hope you are not planning to throw me under the bus again Matts. Kate said and paused. No, I just want us to forget that useless Mandy. She said.

You know when it comes down to it I might not be able to Matts. Now let me hear why he is out before his time.
Katie I don’t have all the details, but I promise I will find out from work tomorrow. That is not good enough; you know I can feel you are lying to me right. Kate said showing her displeasure.

Yes, I know, but the less you know, the better for your children. Matts said stressing her voice. I will have to find out then. I replied.

"Are you women okay inside? You have been in there for ages now, whispering. Nectar came knocking. We both stormed out."

Kate are you okay, you look worried. Matts tell your brother to mind his own business. God knows am trying my best to accommodate him in my life, he should not add to my troubles right now. Katie, he is your husband. Standing right behind you. Tell him that yourself. Kate hissed and left.


I went upstairs, knowing very well nectar was following me. I just laid on my bed to relax my already pounding head, asking myself weird questions. Why is Mandy’s sudden appearance giving me this kind of feeling?



Katie has he contacted you again? Matts asked after two weeks. He dare not, I will skin him alive. Really, Katie, I thought two weeks ago you were professing your undying love for him. Matts teased.


Matts I know I might break down with the attractions falling back in place, but I might still want to kill him. Just be careful you don’t make my brother into another widower. I just gave her a tap on her thighs to get her mind back to better things.

********

I will pay you the rest of the money, when you get the job done. The disguised woman at the entrance of St. Joseph Hospital said over the phone to the other caller.


Make sure you get him alone. Don’t screw this up for me like you always do. The man who seems to be in charge said over the phone and hanged up.


Doctor Glover, you were saying. I was asking how far you are. Six weeks, I think. The lady who walked into Nectars office that morning replied.


Then lets check it out, but wait here for me. Let me get a nurse to take you to the lab. Nectar walked out leaving his morning coffee he forgot to take earlier. He walked back in and the pregnant woman who came for a check up was nowhere to be found.


Dr Glover, I saw her leaving the premises in a hurry a while ago. One of the nurses said. Nectar sighed and sat in his chair while he gulped down his coffee.


******

Miss Santa, there is one Mr. Bradley here to see you about the contract. Stacy said through the intercom. Which contract, from brownies ltd Miss. He said he called you earlier. Not sure, I have an idea, but let him up.


Come in, I heard a knock on the door. I just glued myself to my chair when I saw the image in front of me. What are you doing here? Out of here, I yelled on top of my voice. Babes I can explain, Mandy said. Explain why you slept with my best friend or maybe why you killed an innocent girl.


I did not cheat on you with Matts; neither did I kill an innocent girl. I am no murderer. Get lost before I commit my own murder. Kate replied.


“I pressed the intercom. Within a twinkle of an eye, they barged in”. Take him out; they kept dragging him out of the door, while he kept saying something on a loud tone.


I was not sure what I heard, but something about my dad. What has this man done? He is everywhere. Kate wondered to herself. I rushed home because I can’t handle another encounter with Mandela. I barely handle my emotions back in there.

Whether she should run into his arms or just throw him out, was a tough decision for her a while ago. Kate was glad she chose the latter.

“Did he say his name is not really Mandela? Kate was still talking to herself”. Just then, my phone beeped. If you don’t believe me, ask Matts. Am sure she has not told you everything.


Just ask her what my lawyer told her, and what your Dad was doing with my prison officer. Mandy’s text read on my phone. I just melted at once. Matts again? Kate approach this with much care. I told myself silently.


*******

Drake what do you want. I just want to apologize for my behavior the last time. Am listening, I said with a frown while holding my phone with both hands on my ear and strolling in my room, while nectar was undressing himself by the mirror.


What is this man doing? Undressing in front of me is unacceptable. I tried not to watch. Drake let me call you back. He did not hesitate saying I love you. Kate hanged up without a reply.


Hey you, what do you think you are doing. Nectar tried looking back, am talking to you gentle man. What does it look like? I thought we agreed this here would not happen in each other’s presence. Kate said confronting nectar.


Look Kate am tired of your nagging and rude attitude. Am really trying here you know. Please let me be, you can watch or you walk out. He yelled on top of his voice while trying to be calm.


He slummed the washroom door on my face and I just stood there like a toasted bread. Burned with my own fire. I tried going in there to give him my peace of mind but he locked it up.


What is happening to him, he has never reacted to me that way before. And he has been in that bathtub close to two hours. Is he all right in there? Should I call him out? I made up my mind to call Matts to come check on him but I remembered she was out of town.


“Just that moment he came out of the tub unclad and spilling water all over the floor”. I popped up my eyes, as if this is the first time of setting my eyes on a man’s “hometown” as huge as nectars. Of course, Mandela I thought had the cutest and big “hometown” but nectar’s is something else. Kate focus, I slapped my cheeks.



I could not take my eyes off, until I heard a thud. Nectar threw himself on the bed and covered himself with the duvet like a kid who is suffering from a nervous breakdown. I took my eyes off and walked out, Matts has travelled for a case out of town.


Is Mandy all right at all. What makes him think I will accept that crap from him? He is so much in trouble now. What does my dad have to do with all this? I realized I was just so not myself, asking questions I already have answers to.

To be continued

Sorry, was going to update 3 long ones, but just heard a bad news. But will manage through to update



@jewelbabe, @chara019, @oly0511

I see you three busy reading, dont signout without a simple HI

EPISODE 43

You don’t have to let him in, just try to tolerate him and let the rudeness go, I mean treat him like your friends; you do not detest them as you do to Nectar, probably because you fell in love with him without knowing it. Mom is sounding weird now.

No mom, I know am not in love, maybe because he loves me rather, I struggled to say. I hate people declaring their feelings for me mom, you will figure it out but Mom how do you do it.

I mean you can see Dad doesn’t love you but you are still here, whatever happened to your Dad and me, I don’t want that to affect you Kate, already I can see that getting into your head Kate.

I want you to enjoy your marriage, so talk about it with him, thank you mom, but I need to get going now.

Gentle man, are you not coming home tonight, I spoke to him calmly over the phone. He sounded surprised, as I have never called him since we got married.


Kate, are you okay! Do you need help? Nectar asked inquisitively. No, I came home and wanted us to talk about something but you were not around. Moreover, it is getting late too! Kate managed to just close her eyes and speak.


Kate are you worried about me! Nectar asked. “What a stupid question to ask, my mouth may run so wild, my heart so hardened but my brain still works perfectly”. I care with my mind. I was thinking aloud again, when I realized he was still waiting for my answer.


What if I am worried about you! Kate said finally, feeling a strange coldness suddenly coming over her. Well I don’t think that is a problem, besides probably you have not noticed I have been working late nights lately. Nectar said annoying me.

I just want to know if you are coming home soon, I replied calmly. Am not sure, but I will try? Is Matilda there with you? He said and I felt disappointed.

She is not back either, okay give me thirty minutes. I will be there soon, he said and I hanged up. I kept walking from one corner to another, and then my phone rang.

Katie am not coming home tonight. I got one hairy dude. Matts so it’s you, get a life, I am here waiting for your brother, I planned on telling him about the children this evening.

Really, am coming home, wait for me. Matts said so excited. I thought you said something about sex and hairy dude tonight. Come on, I won’t miss your drama for anything in this world, Sex can wait. She said so bratty.

But Matts, am really scared! What about Katie. I don’t know but what if he hurts me. Oh commom, nectar wouldn’t dare lay a hand on a woman twice.

But Matts a revelation like this can make people do unimaginable things. Kate said with so much worry in her voice. Katie please relax, then wait for me, so we tell him together.
No Matts, this is my own cross to carry, besides am already a dead meat whether I tell him or not.

Just then, I heard nectars car pull in the compound. Fear gripped me and instantly I started sweating profusely.

The coldness earlier has vanished. My brain I felt was overheating due to the many ideas popping up as to how to start the conversation about his children.

I did not understand why am afraid of letting him know the truth. It is not like we can call what we have marriage, we are practically leaving like friends. Now my mind is coming back to it’s rude state again.

I'm sure, it’s just my hormones or i am still scared he might hurt me, by the time he entered I was on the floor, I woke up with feeling a bump to my head.

What happened I asked him? You collapsed. Do you feel pains anywhere, nectar asked. No just a headache. That will be over soon, once you eat and take your medicines.

And you need to start seeing that doctor we talked about, I mean today Kate! Nectar said stressing the his voice.

I just responded okay, finally you are awake matts said, your food is here. What happened Katie, were you able to do the stuffs we talked about? I shoved my eyes at nectar.

Nectar, can you excuse us for a minute. Matts said! Really, he said and Matts frowned. What happened Katie; I should be asking you that Matts.

I woke up here, I just remember your brother pulling into the compound and that was it. I also saw nectar attending to you when I got home.
He has not told me anything Katie. I think I can’t do it Matts. Why not Katie, you are stronger than you think. If I know my brother, so well he will forgive you.

I think I need time, to adjust to his likeness to me first, and then we can take it from there. Kate suggested.
Okay, take your time; have you talked to that friend yet, Matts asked! Drake? No, I will soon, I replied honestly.

“I hate men who love me, and am not about to lose a friend because he loves me”.

Are you girls decent, should I come in? Nectar stop fooling around, this is your room, matts said looking through the door. Kate you have not touched your food that much, has Matilda added too much salt to the Oats, he asked trying to make a joke.

Huh nectar, she is fine. I looked on while brother and sister gave each other their weird looks. I need to give you some injections Kate.

My eyes popped out, and met with that of Matts. Emmm, I think I don’t need injections, I prefer the tablets.
I was scared of going all nude in front of this man when I really wish I had. “I hit my head with my palm, trying to reset it”. Of late, it spews out unimaginable feelings. That’s just my hormones I reassured my mind.

Kate, you need this injection , he tried to convince. Nectar I think what your wife is referring to is can you give that injection anywhere aside her bums.

Ooh that, yeah the shoulders. He said with a relief on his face. I was surprised how Matts knew what my problem was.

Right there done, you can have some rest now, and he walked out. Matts how did you know? I know when you are acting weird you have something up your sleeves.

You two have not done it yet. I cant believe matts is asking me that right now. What? Sex? Nope! He has seen you naked before! She further asked. Yeah when I was drunk, I have no memories though, am pregnant from that now.

Just one shot and you are pregnant with twins, what will happen to two shots, you will give us a football team. Matts teased and we both laughed.

********

Kate you wanted to speak to me, nectar asked. How could he be asking that now when I was thinking he forgot? I said silently, it has been two days since the incident.

It’s fine, I found what I wanted, and it did not look like you were looking for something when you called, he tried to challenge.

Please I said its fine, I nearly yelled. Calm down do not work up yourself up, Nectar tried to convince me he wasn’t bothered. By the way I hope I am fit enough to work tomorrow, I asked.

Are you sure you can handle it, i'm not weak gentle man, your secretary can handle that for you. Nectar chipped in.
You know i'm trying so hard to talk to you now and tolerate the anger that is burning in me. I said with a warning eye.

I can see that Kate, but I just want the best for you and the children. Forgive me if i'm over stepping my bounds. He was about to leave when I just had to say something again.

I'm sorry, it came out the wrong way. I will try to slow down and cut on the working hours provided you pay my secretary her overtime. I feigned a smile. He just gave me some weird look and walked out like a child.

*********

Matts would you accompany me to drakes place. Sure why not.
What are you doing here; he struggled and stumbled to walk.

Drake have you been drinking, what is wrong with you. Kate inquired. Bring that bottle, do you want to drink yourself to death, I asked.

What do you care Kate, you decided to leave me for that good for nothing sick man?
Hey watch your mouth; you can’t talk about my brother that way. Matts interjected. Ooh, you are the bitch sister who broke a poor girl completely.

Drake keep quiet, I yelled. Matts lets go, i'm sure when he finishes drinking himself to waste he would come around. I banged the door in his face and we drove off. Sorry about my friend out there.

That is fine, he is just a gentle man in love, and I would always be that bitch who slept with her best friends fiancé. Matts said as if the reality is now dawning on her.

Kate just glared and she drove on in silence, and kept using different routes, which does not lead to home in anyway.
Matts, where are we going, Keep your head down and hold still. By the time I realized she took a very drastic turn on a busy road swerving a gunshot.

What was that? I yelled almost running out of breathe. Look into the side mirror they are still following us. Matts managed to say after we escaped that gunshot. I sensed someone was tailing us since we left drakes end, she finally spoke up when we managed to lose them and drove somehow home.

You are back. I cooked! Nectar greeted with a grin. I'm not hungry, I said to his question and walked out on both brother and sister.

I heard a knock on my door, and nectar came in. Someone left this in the mail for you. What is it? He passed an envelope to me.

And I heard you were attacked earlier, I called your Dad. Huh, what for? You think my dad gives a damn about what happened to me. Grow up! I said so calmly.

But I just thought, he has the connections with the cops to look into what kind of danger you are in. He said naively. Good Luck with my dad then.

I quickly took the envelope from him and tore it open because the handwriting on it looked familiar, then the contents itself confirmed my deepest fear.

I just tore it apart, and looked away when our gazes met, are you okay Kate. Why do you ask, do I look like am dying. I said regrettably.

Yes, you tore that envelope apart as if you have just seen a ghost, sorry if I intruded again, was just trying to help. When I thought we were finally at a good place in this marriage, Nectar said playing on my conscience and walked away sadly.

Who brought this letter? I rushed down to matt’s room.

To be continued

EPISODE 42

Nectar you don’t like the food? Matts asked. Your wife cooked it for you, appreciate her and stop staring like someone who just saw a ghost. His sister cautioned further.


I just focused on my plate, but I could feel his gaze on me. Why do you keep staring, as if am stopping you from eating, Kate finally asked nectar?


Nothing Kate, he replied without a smile, we ate in silence, was this man thinking I cannot cook? Kate kept stealing glances and beaming inside, when all she wanted was a simple compliment for the food, as it was her first time cooking for him.

She was however disappointed, he didn’t get to finish all the meal. “Why was she suddenly softening up to him”, Kate thought aloud but couldn’t mouth it out.

******

OMG Matts you have not stopped this sleeping around with the so-called hairy men huh. Kate tried to remember their past. They both laughed, I can't do without the handsome hairy men, Matt has replied.

What is funny, Kate asked! I found Matts smiling for a while. Katie you have not noticed you still remember details about me that we both just laughed at.

Then I realized we have been chatting since after dinner, like old times. Yeah, I think it is time I forgive you provided you will not do a silly thing like that next time.

Katie, just listen to me sometimes, I could be lying but what harm would it cause if you just try to find out things for yourself.

It is not as if I do not listen to you Matts, I felt you exaggerate too much, now that is over right! Matts asked. Yes, Kate replied not guessing her next question and you will give my brother a chance, No I can't promise that matts. She rightly said quickly.

Take your time, Matts was about to continue her long speech, just then my phone rang. Drake! Is my baby sleeping already? He said with some weird tone, then Anthon spoke up, Kate Drake just got dumped, Miriam left her.

What I shouted? How! Why! I couldn’t find the right questions to ask because I met the girl Miriam, she doesn’t look like someone who would dump Drake soon. Because of you Kate, I finally heard James say.

What did I do! I was surprised they were claiming I had a hand in that. Do not be dumb woman; Drake has been in love with you like forever, am surprised you have not noticed. Anthon said.

No way, I found it amusing, Drake are you there, is that true! You love me, are you being real. I kept asking quickly. It seems he went off, James said. Have a good night; try to call him, both men said.

Katie what is it, who is in love with you, that was when I realized I was in deep thoughts. Katie are you okay! Matts asked this time with a loud tone. Yes, matts, it’s one of my friends, you saw him at the wedding.

Drake! I learnt he is in love with me. Mom said this sometime ago but I felt she was just exaggerating. Do you love him? Matts asked taking me off guard. Yes, I mean yeah we are friends, so definitely as a friend.

Well it seems he does more than that, if what you said about him leaving his girlfriend because of you, I think you should find time and talk to him; you know you are married right.

Matts couldn’t wait to remind me of my worst nightmare. Yeah, I have no plans of getting out for the sake of my children, I replied trying not to get offended.

Can I borrow my wife; nectars voice startled us both! Sure why not bro! I think I want to sleep now.

Matt’s gave me a peck, hey sis be careful, and that is my wife there, nectar said and his smile disappeared following my will you shut up gaze I dropped on him.

I know, it is just a harmless peck, they both laughed but I was deep in thoughts and asking myself what I should do. Kate can we talk, what about! You always have a way of ruining moments. Be on your own, I lashed out.

As if I saw tears in nectars eyes, I just had to say something, which I obviously don’t mean. I mean Matts is right, he is the father of my children.

Okay fine, am sorry I snap at you all the time but truth be told, you are too nice to me which I obviously don’t deserve.

Well maybe I deserve it but I cant tell what your intentions are. I finally managed to say and before he could reply I interrupted. What do you want to discuss?

He took a step back and forward, then back. Wanted to find out if we can start shopping for the children, he said happily. It is too early, father of the season, unless you do not think so. Kate chipped in.

If you say so, he was about to leave when Kate said to set the date while she tries to be available since she has to work next week throughout.

He just rushed towards me, at first I thought he was picking something up and then I felt his mouth on mine. I just heard myself saying stop it so loud and pushed him on the floor.

What was that all about, I said wondering why I was angry over a harmless kiss. I'm sorry Kate. I was just excited. Nectar said annoying me more.

Look you had better start behaving like a grown up, as I have decided to get stuck with you in this marriage.

I walked pass him towards our room and I saw matts rushing to pick him up. Nectar are you okay, just give her some time, she will come around, Pregnancy hormones are also part of her stress. I heard Matts say calmly.

I woke up to the side of my bed empty, I careless but I was worried within me since I pushed him earlier. That was wrong Kate, “I keep hearing a voice struggling in my mid”.

I guess I never slept at all; I went downstairs and met him lying on the couch with his head on Matt’s.

Then I heard the murmurings again, walking closer I saw matts pointing to a towel in water, I just handed it over to her, fear gripped me, and I thought the pushing triggered something.

Because the last time it happened, we had some intense argument.
Matt’s did this happen because of the push. Nobody could ever tell what triggers it. Matts said avoiding my gaze.

What are you talking about, Katie he has no an idea he experiences this? He has no memories! You never told him. Why? I questioned Matts, stealing glances towards nectar still not responding to Matts touch.

Katie, we tried but since he has no memories of that, we just let it slide hoping it would stop someday, when is that someday, Matt’s he needs to know?

I agree, as he needs to know about his children. Matts is being sarcastic now. This is not the right time to discuss his children. He cannot know about his children when he is having some weird attack you all did not deem it fit to tell me about before I married him.

What if it is hereditary, I cannot have two children with a mental ishh, then help me Katie, let us try to make this marriage work.

I agree he needs help; I looked at the dejected body lying before me, he looks so innocent, what could have happened, was his first marriage that bad. I kept asking myself, until we retired to bed when the worse was over.

Gentle man good morning, you slept on the couch. May I know why? As if he was confused, he kept looking around.

“I just needed to try another approach, I may not be ready to succumb to whatever he feels for me but I can as well try. I advised myself”.

Looking for Matts, I asked, and then nectar nodded! She has a job remember. Oh, yes, he replied so lively.

Breakfast is on the table, which I did not hesitate to give out a smile to his surprise look. I need some sleep, which I had to fake just to avoid another talk with him.

Call me if you need anything, I was about to take a step forward when he grabbed my hand, he said sorry and dropped my hands quickly; Only God knows the surge that went through my body.

I quickly had to brush it aside, blaming it on the hormones. I want to apologize for yesterday; I should not have done that Kate. Knowing well you detest men who are in love with you.

Have you been checking up on me? I asked him. No Kate, I just happen to know you quiet well for these few months. He said making a face as if trying to remember something.

I was dumfounded, how he could read my thoughts vividly and I barely know what he thinks. He was walking away, gentle man, i'm sorry about yesterday, the fall and everything, Thanks, that is fine, I understand. He said all bubbly.

“How is this man so calm after that great fall”, I was thinking when my mum’s thoughts came to mind?

*********

Mum are you okay, please I want to come over. What is it baby? Mum I do not know how to handle this. Exactly what are you not able to handle? This marriage, these whole nectar attitudes. Mom he is so good to me but I can’t seem to see pass that, I am always angry at even the nicest things he does for me.

Am not like that with my guys, I don’t treat them rudely but for Nectar, I don’t know. My heart is so hardened anytime I see him.

I don’t know how to handle him; he keeps doing everything right, am too broken to see that and acknowledge his presence. I can’t be fixed mom. Kate keeps narrating for a whole ten minutes.

I was in my mom’s arms crying, which she constantly smooched my back slowly. Baby it is okay; you will figure it out soon. Take it easy, one-step at a time.

The best thing is to talk to him, sit him down. Tell him to give you some time. Probably you can start with the fact that he is the father of your twins that might make things better.

Mom, am scared of letting someone in again, I know my dear. Mom said but my mind was roaming all over my decisions lately.

Pearl05:

@clearboos @Tenniebae, i can see we both didnt go to church

Drop a comment, as you are the first to read the sunday episode

EPISODE 41

I didn’t know what to do, was this what matt was referring to. I put on the bedside light; I then shook nectar so hard. “Kate stop thinking about his shirtless body", "Kate rebuked her mind”. How could I be thinking of that now, when I should call for help.


“He was reluctant or probably couldn’t feel my hands all over him”. It took ten minutes for the seizure to stop. I was so scared in my thoughts. Finally, I was jolted out of my worry mind when he made a hiss sound. “Kate sighed, nectar hasn’t opened his eyes but checking his pulse, he could still breathe.”


The next day, I wasn’t able to ask him about what happened, he just kept to himself, as if he had no memories of that, the attack continued for the next three days.


“Kate was beginning to get fed up with the noise, and could not figure out how to help nectar.” Matts, please can you help, it’s your brother. I think am tired of his mumbling, can you come over. Kate found herself needing matts help over the phone.

***********************MANDY

I need to get her back. She has to know the truth. I have learnt to fall in love with her.
She thinks am the bad one at the head of all this. Yes, I might have been a flirt and a cheat but I came to fall in love with her.

It was all a game at first, but my heart beats for her anytime she was around and I need to play along. I was a player. There were so many of the girls flocking on me back then.

Her kindness, despite the horrible way I treated her, her immense love changed me. I wanted to be a better person for her. Just when I was about to truly, tell her about it and declare my true feelings, hoping she forgives me.

The devil in disguise whisked me away to jail. Now am back. I have to claim my love. She has to listen to me. I have never for once forgotten her face while behind bars.

He glanced at the tinny frame in his hands with an image in it. This is what kept me going. For all the treatments, I suffered for a crime I did not commit. Mandela kept pondering over his past life with Kate.

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

Sis what are you doing here this early. Nectar was surprised to see Matts over at our end. Did mum send you, No sai…. Nectar, Matts tried to get his name right.

I called for her, Kate carefully replied. Okay is there a problem, Nectar asked inquisitively. Nectar, women’s stuffs. Can you stay out of it please? Katie finally said getting worked out.

Am going out then, you ladies have a nice day, nectar finally walked out and we both heaved a sigh of relief. Katie how serious is it, does he have any memory of the previous nights. Am not so sure. You did not ask him.

We don’t talk, Kate replied Matts question. Matts expression changed as she tried to mouth something but kept her mouth shut, which I was grateful for.

Look am not about to discuss my marriage with you, I called you here to see to your sick brother. You are welcome to stay as long as you can.

Kate said trying to sound plain and angry. Kate, why are you so bitter, is it that bad. What happened to you. Matts found herself asking Kate questions.

I cannot begin to say I know how to fix what was broken, am not asking you to start loving again, but the way I see it, you both are perfect for each other; you need to heal each other in your own small way.

Try to accommodate him. Yes, he is sick but you can make it work.
I know you so well Kate and am glad you married him. Matts tried advising her friend trying to escape his full gaze.

You are glad I married the sickness in your family right, Kate said sarcastically. Come off it, Katie.
Yes, we are glad he finally wants to settle down again. I was the happiest when I found out it was you. Kate re adjusted herself in the couch after matts comments which shows she was restless.

We had our own issues, which did not stop me for approving of you Katie.
Cut me some slack here, you both need each other.
He is a good man Katie; just give him the benefit of the doubt. Matts keep playing the good sister trick with me.

Why should I do that? Kate retorted back to Matts, whose gaze is now fully on her.

Because you are carrying his children, If anything you help the father of your children recover and he will be there for him.
Your children will equally need him someday. Matts said asking me with her eyes to trust her.

I believe you wanted the same experience yourself from your dad, but you never had. Do not deny your children that privilege to have a sane father. Do not bring my father into this Matts, but Katie you know am right. “Yes Matts is right, I told myself inwardly.”

If you were carrying another man’s children, I would gladly help with the divorce. Since nectar told me, you did not want to marry him or neither have anything to do with him, i only thought of him getting a woman who will father his children.

Then you agreed and I thought of divorce but he would not agree to it, he said he could endure your attitudes.
Matts keep talking too much already; I tried signaling her with my eyes.

Now it is different, children are involved. Matts spoke her final words.
So the best way you can help with is, I stuck myself in this marriage, I asked her.

Besides my heart was shattered in pieces by my best friend. Nothing compared to what he is suffering from. If you have been dealing with this for 7years and he has still not recovered what makes you think, he will now. I was now in control of asking Matts my own questions.


Katie I believe he just needs someone to be there for him, someone to hold, someone probably to share his fears with and at the look of things you equally need that someone too.
Matts said sensibly. I agreed she was right.

“However, was I ready to move on, when somehow my heart still yearns for he who broke it in the first place.”

See! it’s time to get over Mandy, I don't want to keep bringing his name up, but its high time you mention his name and not feel like you want to puke or droll all over him again as you are trying to do right now. You have to kill whatever force of attraction it is Katie. "Matts talks as if it is that easy". I thought to myself!


I did you a favor, if not by now, you would have married or be carrying that bastard’s children and you would have really regretted it. Then you visit him at county with his children. Matts said vehemently and now pissing me off.


Is that what you wish for yourself? She asked.

What do you mean by county? Mandy is in prison; I did not tell you every part of that woman’s story, matts continued.

However, the point is he got jail time after that innocent girl died when Mandy took her for an abortion of his child, which the girl ended up at the morgue.

I was there, I helped in the process, could not stand watching him go scot free, and leaving the mother of that girl childless was not an option, she works for me in my office canteen. That is the best I could do.

I could not help but was amazed in tears how far this woman here would go for me, she is one damn good lawyer, owns her own practice and does know what she wants.

Just then, nectar walked in, are you women gossiping about me. I just eyed him to the right; he is irritating me now with that smile on his face.

You know that how, Matts asked! My wife is in a good mood for once, nectar pointed out with a grin on his face. I pretended I did not hear that, “so this gentle man did not see me rolling my eyes earlier”. Kate thought!

“He can still see the good in me after all these attitudes, what kind of a man is he”. "Has the death of his screwed up his brain, because a man should flare up sometimes, give corrections when necessary".

Nectar obviously you have not been doing your work well, so am here to make sure you do that. Matts teased his brother.

Oh really, Kate tell her am the best husband. I looked at Matts and she was beckoning on me to respond. Fighting the urge to just give in or hold on, i took a deep breath and all that came from my mouth was i'm hungry. Who cares for lunch, tell me how I can help Katie, she asked.

EPISODE 40

Did you guys have a fight Katie, I worry because am responsible for his recovery since he got back from Germany, but you are in this with him now, I think you should know. Matts asked with so much worry.

Anything out of the extraordinary you let us know. Matts was sounding so scary now. Is there something else you are not telling me here Matts, I will not be of much help if am not aware of what I have married.

How do I handle it, Matts? Kate further probed when she realized matts was not ready to open up.

You know he is my stress; I could barely handle his childish behavior, so talk to me. Any mental problem, is he harmful? "Kate said so loud now to draw matts attention".

Katie, how could you refer to a human being that way, I know you don’t love him but please, He is nothing like that; he only has sleepless nights, with the memories rushing back in. Matts narrated quickly with regrets enveloping her face.

Thank God, that I can handle and I did not sack him. He left the room on his own ask him why? Kate assured Matts. Sorry I lashed out on you, matts also replied.

“Katie sorry I was just concerned”. The girls are coming over to help pack up today, hope you don’t mind, matts asked Kate.

We moved in our own apartment, three blocks from my old house, that I was grateful. The time with the girls was a success, “though they keep talking too much”. Kate thought to herself.

I was sleeping throughout; nectar was doing the heavy lifting, which I admired with the corner of my eyes, all sweaty and shirtless. “I smiled to myself in between my thoughts”. Then I realized I was pretending to be sleeping when I was actually thinking about my husband’s shirtless body.

I woke up at a point and the girls were gone. Kate, I managed to cook, you can try if you don’t like then we go out for dinner, I heard nectar say.

I'm not sure I want to eat any sick food, besides am not hungry. Of course I didn’t say that aloud.

I just want to sleep, I managed to take the insults off my mind and then said something appreciative to nectar; okay I will join you soon, nectar replied.

Your stuffs are in the other drawer, I found myself admiring the outcome of the room. What else is nectar not good at, I murmured to my belly.

Admiring my yet protruded belly, these twins are doing a number on me, I spoke to no one in particular one early morning while still laying on my bed like a lazy girl. I keep sleeping off at work, and everywhere. “Kate was still in deep thoughts when nectars voice startled her”.

Your breakfast is in the microwave; will you want to take it in bed? Nectar said softly to his wife. You don’t give up right, is today not Saturday, why are you not at work? Kate questioned nectar with anger.

If I need food I will get to the kitchen, she said rudely again. “You don't need to stress yourself Kate; you know our children are growing fast”.

Just let me help, give me a chance please. Kate I know you don’t like me that much, but allow me to take care of you, when you put to bed, you can do whatever you want.

“I said I don’t want anything from you, what part of that phrase don’t you understand.” I couldn’t manage saying that to his face again, after seeing the sorrow look he put on earlier.

Kate, why are you so bitter towards me, I mean I married you because I like you. What do I have to do so you can cut me some slack?

I want you to leave me alone that is what I want. You men are all the same, I give you an opportunity and you end up turning my life into another mess. What shows you are different. She finally asked and tried to get out of bed.

Would you ever like me, it has been a month since we moved in together. Married for two months and you still give me this attitude; we have not even had our first night yet.

Really, so you think am a fool to sleep with you again, with this pregnancy. I don’t want to sleep with you because I met you at a bar, but because you are my wife. Nectar said rather sadly.

What wife? You forgot this is only on paper right! Kate chipped in, laughing now hilariously. I thought your dad said….Nectar was about to say something. My dad, said what? Kate interjected again.

Why i'm I even having this conversation with you, Kate stood up from the bed to walk out when nectar held her, and turned her around facing his face.

“I couldn’t tell what he was trying to do but we were suddenly searching each other’s eyes”. Then Kate’s phone rang, Mom I was just about to call you. She walked out and found nectar following her; she waved him a hand rudely.

***********

Keisha! Keisha! Keisha am sorry please. I woke up and found nectar rolling on the bed, sweating profusely.

Pearl05:
Great work, keep it rolling.
I just love the way you updates.

You write the story from Kate's head as if she is narrating the story while also, writes as if you are telling the story of Kate.

@Pearl05 thanks ! Yeah i think Kate is telling her story, that is my intention. However, my last two updates, i tried doing the latter you talked of.

EPISODE 39

I have made a decision on the antenatal; I want to have it at your hospital, and also can we look at the house you got later in the week, because I will be resuming work next week? Kate sat nectar down for a talk.

Nectar kept staring, while Kate did all the talking, say something or you don’t want to be my doctor anymore.

Nectar finally sighed, and said okay! I will have the paper work done tomorrow, but you should know things have changed. Nectar said at the end and paused for a minute, making Kate wonder what he was referring to.

“Kate gave nectar a start talking now gesture”. Now that we are married, I could be your doctor out of the hospital, but not inside the hospital premises.

I sure will get you a good one; nectar said and adjusted himself in the couch, I must admit I was a little disappointed he said that, but I understood. Kate reassured herself.

Finally, your mum has been waiting for like two hours now, nectar said after one afternoon nap. What? You did not wake me up. Kate asked nectar as if they had an agreement concerning that.

Kate you said when you are asleep I should not interrupt, Nectar said innocently this time. Gosh, forget whatever I said. What a child you are, Kate hissed and stood up.

“Where is she, before nectar could say anything, Kate had rushed downstairs.”
Hey mom, Kate be careful you don’t fall off as you are running down the stairs like a child. Mom, what are you doing here, are you driving me out?

We talked with the family for a while, when I asked my mum inside my room. Hey WhatsApp, mum don’t get angry, I was going to tell you.
What have you not told me again? That nectar is the father of my twins. Kate said softly! Huh, say again, yes you remember the gentle man I slept with at the bar.

Yes, Kate, you mentioned that when he first came to the house, I thought you were being rude as usual. Have you told him yet, mom inquired?No I do not know how he will take it. Kate confirmed her fears to her mom Catherine.

“Kate could feel her mom’s anger and full eyes on her while she spoke up.”
Do not tell me you are planning to keep this again, Catherine finally calmed herself down and asked. No, I will, but not now please. Kate said in fear.

Just make sure you do soon, because I can’t help you with this baggage now that you are married, you need to learn how to solve your own issues. Mom finally advised her daughter. Thanks mum. How are you not so very angry this time, well because I always knew!

Huh! Yeah right, Kate. Your mother knows everything, Catherine said and both mother and daughter laughed.
*****

At least say something about the house, if you do not like it I start looking for a new one, I remember you sitting me down about this same house the last time. Nectar tried to control his anger when it seemed like Kate has changed her mind after several weeks of trying to get through to her.

Look gentle man, am trying to be calm right now, just to adjust to the fact that am stuck with you now. So do not provoke me, whichever environment you think your children should stay that is fine with me.

My children? “Nectar quickly repeated what Kate said with his full gaze now directed to his wife.” I mean, am stuck here with you so, whatever the patern… paternity of these innocent ones are do not really matter. Kate said.

“Right or you do not want to be a father to them anymore. Kate carefully defended herself whiles constantly checking nectars reaction.”

No do not take it that way; I want to, if you will let me. Nectar said succumbing to Kate’s statement. Good then, when can we move in. Kate chipped in.

I just need to make some payments. Give me two weeks’ tops. Nectar said! You do not have money? Kate sighed. I just want to make this investment with some other resource, so please bear with me. Nectar apologized.

********

Sorry, I was rude the last time when you girls came by, that is fine Kate, does that mean we are even now. Kate said shyly, to both Annette and Eve.


“Not a chance”, Kate retorted back to eve’s question but I think whatever bitterness I hold its almost over. Kate said to clear the air.

We were talking when Matts came home, haven’t seen her in a while. Is there a meeting I do not know of? We turned to her direction, hello Katie are you okay, Matts asked? So innocent like those days, Kate thought!

“Kate are you listening at all, a drink up next weekend”, the girls chorused.

You all know I cannot drink now, and besides we are moving from here to our new place, i will therefore be busy; Kate managed to throw her friends off her back. Katie did you just make an excuse not to hang out with us. Eve asked.

You know what; we will come help you move. I heard Annette say. Good, just then my next nightmares entered. “Hey ladies, I can see you having fun”. Eve you look good in your attire; I can see marriage is doing wonders for you huh. Nectar said and walked away.

They all laugh except me, and Kate found that annoying, as soon her friends left. Kate confronted nectar!

What was that all about earlier? Kate asked nectar. What are you talking of? Nectar pretended not to know what she was referring to.

I mean you were flirting with my friend in my presence. Really Kate, are you jealous now? Nectar found her question amusing. Me! No, forget it. Kate tried to hide her jealousy. Do your worse, Kate said and got herself washed up. During bedtime, I saw him fidgeting with his hands on the couch.

Gentle man, you are making noise, why do you keep turning up and down. I can’t sleep with that noise, i'm restless already. Kate asked nectar who keeps murmuring stuffs to himself from a distance and makes a lot of noise with his body against the couch.

“Sorry, I have aches all over lying on one side all the time, all the best, Kate said and tried to sleep.”

Look, I did not sack you from here, you decided to move there yourself so it is either you get over your pride and come over to bed or you go and sleep elsewhere, you are distracting my sleep.

Nectar just picked up his pillow and went out, I cared less. “Kate thought to herself”

Kate, I don't want to poke my nose in your marriage but saint was in my room yesterday. Matts asked her brother’s wife over morning coffee.

“Did you sleep with him too”? Kate rubbed the past once again in matts face. Katie, I thought we are over the past now. Do you have to rub it in my face every now and then? Matts asked rather angrily.

To be continued

EPISODE 38

Has it come to that Katie, yes it has Matts. Kate quickly told matts before she could change her mind.

Nectar was not a violent man, but nobody could tell what the argument was about, at least he still hasn’t told us what their fight was about. His wife slipped and hit herself so hard; rushing to the hospital was a weekend.

Doctors were unavailable; you know you cannot get involved when you are a family to the patient. On rushing his seven months’ pregnant wife to the hospital, he learnt it would take the doctor one hour to reach the hospital, which was outside of a town.

They went on a vacation in a remote town, where the nearest hospital has no doctors on duty during that weekend.

They waited for that hour and no one was showing up, looking at the unexperienced nurses toy with his family, he got into the operating room, being a doctor himself, he tried to save his already dying wife and child.

Which proved futile, he was nearly discredited as a doctor when the two nurses on duty spoke on his behalf; he just tried to save his wife from an incompetent hospital, they confirmed.

Since then he came back home seven years now and opted for weekend shifts at the hospital, he does not mind working throughout the whole week, but he knows the weekend matters. Nectar is a shadow of himself and hence his childish behaviors as you put it always. Kate gave matts a gesture, that says mind your damn business on that her initial statement.

He might not be earning much, but he chose the smallest hospital just to keep reminding himself of his failure to save his family. You can throw an insult at saint as a woman but he will just smile at you.

He blames himself all the time for that tragedy; he changed his name from saint to nectar, called saint and cannot save his family, then he is no saint, he kept murmuring that for a whole year since he got back, but now the worst is almost over. Matts narrated and paused in between.

I was afraid back there, the last time when he yelled with that tone, Matts resumed with her full gaze on Kate now.

Has he done anything violent to you Katie? Huh! Then I realized I was deep in thoughts again. No he hasn’t, thank you I murmured to Matts.

As we entered, through the gates finally in our rides, all I wanted was to sleep so I can think about my life. Got in and found nectar working on something by his study table.

You are back already, how is your mum, nectar asked Kate. Fine, but please no further questions, I want to sleep, then we can talk. Kate replied her husband.

“Kate saw the surprised gestures written all over nectars face over her first calm conversation with him without yelling, Kate was surprised herself.”

“Who wouldn’t after all that she just heard, she is not that inhumane, she thought to herself once more.”

Okay, wake up in time for dinner, Nectar said smiling childishly again. I just jumped on my bed and slept. Kate woke up to noises; she shrugged and opened her eyes.

I said you should leave her alone, am not sure she would want to see you. Kate heard nectar cautioned Matts.

“Emmm gentle man am still not used to calling nectar by his name.” Let her in, I will be fine with her! Kate said trying to sound free.

Katie, I just came to check on you, I know you will be having a headache by now, am sorry for dropping that bomb on you earlier. Matts said with sincerity in her voice.

That is fine Matts, I guess I had to know. Mum said dinner is ready, so you should come down, she further said this time without any burden.

I will in some minutes, Kate managed to say with sleep burning her eyes up. See you around then. Matts waved and walked away smiling.

Nectar, flashed a confused gaze on me, and back to her sister who was walking out. What is that all about, his eyes were trying to ask Kate. “Mind your own business, gentle man”? Kate said in her head gently.

Washing down after dinner was refreshing, Kate was talking to her mum on the decisions she has made when nectar came in, she watched him wrap up whatever he was doing earlier, washed down and moved to the couch, as he has been doing since after the accident.

EPISODE 37
Mum, can you at least ask me how am fairing? For what seems like minutes, she spoke up. What is the point of staying angry with you, mom finally said a word? Mom am sorry?

Okay dear, hope you are treating the poor boy with dignity this time. Mom, do you have to ask! Because if I find out you are still that rude to him. I do not know what I will do to you yet, but do not try it.

Have you found yourself another hospital for the antenatal? Mom, I will do that this week please. When I left my mom’s, I pulled up in front of my husband’s house.

“I was not sure what this new chapter of marriage holds for me, but I did give it so much thought on the drive home.”

As it stands now, am stuck in a loveless and no way out marriage. How do I get out without hurting my mum, and he is the father of my children?

Should I stay for these kids to have a father? I look like I could handle myself but I just broke down in tears, holding the steering firmly when I heard a knock on my window.

That was when I realized I parked in front of the gate earlier. I rolled down and saw Matt’s pathetic face. Hello, have you been crying, I quickly adjusted myself and wiped my face with the back of my palm.

“And how is that your business, I yelled out”.
I have been waiting for the past five minutes and it looks like you were out, are you okay Katie! Matts asked.

Tears just started flowing like; I had been saving it for far too long. Katie, what is wrong, open up. My hands were faster than my mind when I rolled the doors down.

It is okay; right there let it all out, I was fighting the urge of pulling out of her arms or staying. Matts has always been great with hugs and consoling. WhatsApp bestie? Do you mind sharing?

I nodded my head like this wasn’t the same girl, I vowed never to talk to. Matts, how do I spend my entire life with a man I don’t love, I do not want to be with him. I asked her avoiding her gaze.

At first, I was only doing this for my mum and dad to let me be, but the contract backfired. What do I do now? How do I get out of it?

You will if you want to Katie, my brother is not that hard to convince. You can get a divorce once you put to bed. Matts said so sure of herself. How? I cannot do that to an innocent man whose children I carry. You know me, am hurting inside. The reason for my rude attitudes lately, but am not that heartless to do that to nectar.

Answer me matts, before I realized, I had let the cat out of the bag? Without knowing it! What? Katie, saint is the father of your twins. Matts snapped now. I could feel the trembling in her voice.

I quickly pulled out of her arms, after I realized what I said. Yes, and so you plan to turn on me again? No bestie, I have no plans of doing that, but he has the right to know! Matts seems so true this time. What for Matts. I questioned.

You do not know how this will make him happy. If he knows he is having another baby, He will do everything you ask him. What do you mean by another baby? Katie you mean he has not told you. Matts queried!

What is he supposed to tell me? You had better do or I smack your face right now. I raised my head meeting matts gaze now. Saint was married in Germany to the love of his life of ten years. Matts opened up.

What do you mean was? I became so attentive to matts now. I think he should tell you himself, I do not want to prey or scare you. Matts chipped in.

If you want my forgiveness, you had better tell me now. I tried to bribe matts now.

To be continued

EPISODE 36

It looked like nectar took care of me medically. How are you feeling, can you feel the children? Nectar asked with worry written on his face. I just nodded to the affirmative.

I want to check if you don’t mind, he asked, I just rolled my eyes and I saw him with his kits checking me out. Thank God, he murmured. You are fine Kate; will you care for your food now. I just nodded. I heard nectar saying from a distance.

He has been in a good mood, since after the incident with Matts. It has been close to a month now; mum has refused to talk to me.

My stomach is growing gradually; I have not been to work in a month. Stacy comes over with drake to handle paper work. Drake has been very helpful, handling work for me. I have not seen Matts around lately.

I managed to ask her mum over dinner. Oh that girl, she has gone to visit the dad, she claims she needs some time away from here.
“I later asked myself why I was even asking about her in the first place”.

Wifey, I heard nectar called out, smiling as she if he just won a lottery. “I asked myself is he dreaming”?

I managed to turn to his direction; I want us to go check our new house out. Gent…. You mean nectar, he quickly said, yeah I replied. I think I will pass, then his smile vanished, I saw his mum excusing us.

What point of don’t ask me for permissions like a child do you not understand, you keep following me everywhere like, a puppy following the mother dog.

When will you make time for a new doctor to start seeing you, it has been over a month Kate? What did I just say; let me handle my own issues, okay love, he responded rather calmly.

I just hissed. Unknown number calling, “I thought who could this be.”

Kate, its Annette, eve is on the other side. Hi Kate, I think that was eve, Hi, I sighed and responded. Can we see you like today, Annette said cheerfully. Sure! You know where to find me, I said and hanged up; I was surprised I was calm over the call.

“I would have lashed out on them some few weeks ago, I thought to myself”. I think Matts has given me the clarity I need, but it still doesn’t give them the privilege to betray our friendship codes.

Trust us if we say we had no idea she was going to do that, yes we knew about the escapades. However, you were too engrossed in your relationship that we did not want to cause you another one. Can we go back to our friendship days, we miss you. Eve finally stopped talking for once since they came over to the house.

I was deep in thoughts, “why did I even agree to this meeting”. Moreover, eve keeps flipping her hands for me to notice her ring, what the hell, I kept saying in my mind.

Annette on the other hand looks so apologetic unlike those days, she is someone who never says sorry. Kate, are you with us, I heard eve’s voice. Then I heard another voice, Wifey are you okay!

Yes, how is that your problem, I said before I even realized my so called friends were staring at me. Kate, what was that, the poor gentle man was just so concerned, why you suddenly turned pale. Annette cautioned.

You two stay out of this, I snapped at my friends. I think coming here was a waste of time, Annette said and quickly dragged eve along, and I just stared and watched them go.
I decided to see my mum today I grabbed my car keys.

**************************WILSON SANTA
I know you want me to be strong but I am a man does not make me a rock. I am hurting too; I cannot do away with the guilt of losing a wife because of a stupid mistake.

Just one mistake and you are gone. I cannot even look at the fruit of that mistake. She is not to blame. Whom should I blame when you have decided to leave me all alone?

That stupid mother of hers you left her behind for cannot stop playing the homemaker. I am doing what you asked of me, they still leave with me. Your baby girl is all grown up now. I made sure she got married in a good family.

We may not see face to face on a lot of issues but am holding on to the day I join you my dear Claudia. I told you what you suggested was a bad idea. We should have waited.

A man does not cry, but I cry myself to bed every day for the past 27 years. The only joy I knew is I see yourself sometimes in Kate, though I know it is not possible.

Yours is gone. You are gone too far beyond reach. I fail you when I asked you to drive them that night. “What was I thinking; I could have just left my friends to attend to Catherine”.

Now I cannot look them both in the eyes. I see them as mere evils that have plucked you away in your prime. Am sorry I cannot call them family.

Am sure God is punishing me for the way I treated her when all you did was loved her.

I will always love you; he was talking to himself holding his late wife’s portrait. He heard some footsteps and quickly pushed the portrait back to its original place.
