Thanks for reading April!

Erin made a very big mistake, falling in love with a married man can be frustrating cos in the end he will always go back to his wife.

You're doing great glowingscence. Thumbs up.

Am sure Erin is pregnant now, let's watch as the drama unfolds. Meanwhile, tnks for the write up, it's inspiring

nice dear

7.

On the contrary, the affair led to more and more escapades between the duo. Erin found herself eagerly waiting for everyone to leave the office each day before her IT finally ended. She’d never envisioned she would come to desire her Boss so much he was everything she ever thought about. After a while she stopped thinking of her grades and everything else that mattered. He was her escape route and she was his. Even when school resumed a few weeks after her send forth from his office, they had their private rendezvous where they met and couldn’t get enough of each other after her classes. There was a time she was certain she couldn’t do life without him and he was her soulmate. They had so many things in common and he told her everything that was happening in his home and how he probably wished things were different.

She woke up one evening and found him staring at her and her heart soared. She’d always dreamed of the day she would wake to find the love of her life watching her sleep.

“Hey…”

He leaned close to kiss her. “You’re beautiful when you sleep.”

She felt the tears sting and rose to kiss him. That was when she saw the slight frown on his handsome face that indicated something was wrong. Wrapping her arms around him, she asked. “Are you alright my love?”

He sighed placing his hands on his face. “It’s my wife…”

She closed her eyes. Anytime he mentioned her when they were together, it soiled her feelings and made her bitter that he still considered a woman who despised him as a wife.

“What did she do this time…”

He shook his head.

“Why don’t you just divorce her already.” She snapped feeling irritated that he was even bringing her into the conversation when he’d just made love to her and called her name some hours ago. She was the one giving him pleasure, not some cocky old childless woman who was hoarding her body like it was some gift to mankind.

He looked at her then, almost as if she’d said something outrageous. She could feel his body tense and he shook his head. “That’s not the solution.”

“Then what is? Your wife this, your wife that! Tahir, this woman doesn’t love you the way I do. She wouldn’t even let you touch her. I wonder why you’re still living with her when it’s obvious where we are headed.”

He squinted. “Don’t get ahead of yourself Erin. I never told you I hated my wife. She’s still my wife and I love her.”

She was about to reply but the shock made her unable to utter the words. Was he actually telling her to her face or she was imagining things?

“I don’t understand…”

He inhaled deeply and came back to the bed. “This thing between us…it’s just something temporary. It’s an affair Erin.” He wanted to touch her but she jerked free.

“I thought you loved me.” She choked on her sobs as her voice thickened with tears. “How could you do this to me?”

“Erin…baby…look, this thing between us is amazing but you need to be realistic.”

“So what am I to you? Some girl who was ready to throw away everything just to be with you, just to make you happy. I gave you myself Tahir. I would have given you everything if you asked…” She stood to face him. “What is she giving you? Food? Sex? You have her now and I’m suddenly that girl that’s becoming an inconvenience to you?”

“Erin don’t do this. We can sort this out like adults.”

She tried to reason with him, understand things perhaps as she couldn’t point fathom loving someone else. She reached to wipe her face as a tear strolled down and looked up at him. She didn’t want to upset him, but that didn’t stop the dull throbbing pain in her heart.

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay sweetheart. I just need us to take a break for a while. My wife is beginning to get suspicious and I don’t want that.”

They’d been together for a month but she never envisioned it would be ending so soon. He’d been good and kind to her, buying her things and took her along on one of his trips outside the country. She’d envisioned they would do life together and she would give him everything his wife didn’t. Love, affection and sex. He had bought her everything she wanted though she chose to eliminate the sex part when she told her friends. She knew they wouldn’t approve, but they weren’t saints either and they were just entering the relationship.

Or was this even a relationship in the first place?

“I really wish there’s a way we can go about this without hurting you Erin, but I’m hurt as well. We will still be friends okay? This doesn’t change the bond between us. I just don’t want it to get more complicated than this, for the both of us…especially you.”

I knw this was going to happen... Dating a married man and you think he would love you more than his wife or leaave her for you?
Thanks for the update Ma'am

I said it earlier that this their relationship is just lust .

She go soon get belle.

She nodded trying to accept his truth of things. She was in love with him and was certain he loved her too. It was why he spent most of his weekends with her, even checked up on her about her sister and her school work. He treated her even better than any man or her ex boyfriend had in the past. She was beginning to wish she'd met him first. Maybe that would have been enough to marry her, especially since they had so many things in common. She silently wondered if she would be able to do without him. He was everything she dreamed of, the only man she fantasized about and would do anything for. But he just told her to her face it was an affair. She just hoped he would come to realize that they were meant to be together.

"So I won't see you again?" She really wanted to believe there was some other way to keep their relationship going, but she was going to hold on to their love...this thing between them.

"Of course you will, I just need us to keep this as simple as possible and y'know... give ourselves space. If this blows up, you're the last person that needs to be dragged in the mud." He reached to caress her cheeks and kissed her softly.

She allowed him kiss her and love her the way he used to, only this time she hoped it would last forever.

***

Tahir got home exhausted, his bed the only thing that was on his mind as he found his way into the house. Though the guilt of sleeping with someone other than his wife ate at him for a while, making him leave the house earlier in the mornings and later at night, he wished things had not taken a downward spiral the way it had. One side of him wished Erin had not walked into his life. If she hadn't, this would have been a fight like it'd always been before and he would wait for his wife to come around.

She always did.

He was about to head up the stairs when he stopped by the living room and found the object of his thoughts sitting on the couch hugging a throw pillow to her chest with tissues and chocolate wrappers littered all over the place. He briefly glanced at his watch and realized it was 11 pm. Oyinda would have slept by this time but for some odd reason, she was awake with swollen eyes which made it certain she'd been crying for a while.

His heart skipped. Oh God I hope she doesn't know.

He stopped and she looked up. "Hi."

They were back to the first time they met. "Hi."

"I thought you were not coming home tonight..."

He shrugged, hoping he looked as calm as possible. "Well, here I am. Are you alright?"

"I'm not." She shook her head and before he could utter another word, she was crying again. He dropped his suitcase and ran to her. "Baby what's wrong?"

"I don't know...I was watching this show on TV where a couple loved each other and everyone tried to tear them apart. No one wanted them to work out and some girl framed the guy that he was having an affair. It made me remember us. Ever since our fight, you've been ignoring me, coming home late and all sorts. At one point I was scared you were cheating..."

"Why would you think that?"

"You've been acting strange lately..." She reached to wipe her face as he pulled her close to his chest.

"I actually thought you were the one cheating on me when you wouldn't even allow me touch you."

She looked up at him. "I would never do that to you Tahir. You know that. All my life I vowed to love one man only, and that one man was you. I know I could act and do somethings which I really wish I didn't and I'm willing to see this work between us irrespective of the kids we don't have. Sometimes I can't help it and I do those things. Y'know that right?"

He nodded, hoping she didn't see how her words struck him. "I do." Stroking her hair absentmindedly, he reached to plant a kiss on her forehead and she wrapped her arms around him.

"I love you." She reached to kiss him as her hands slid into his side underneath his blazer. When their desire peaked, he broke free and looked into her eyes seeing only passion in them.

"Guess what?" She asked giving him that sultry look he was used to as she worked on his buttons.

"What?"

She leaned close touching his thigh in the process while whispering something into his ears. When she saw the effect of her words, she smiled and stood stretching her hands so he could place his in hers.

"The bath is going to grow cold if we don't hurry." She winked at him and turned. "I'll race you to the stairs."

And he ran after her silently hoping and praying that the chapter of his life with Erin was closed.

There was a chance for new beginnings and Oyin was offering it to him on a platter of gold.

***

It took Erin a month to realize her Boss wanted to remain platonic friends or better said, seemed to want nothing to do with her. She wished she could make things better and forget him the way he was choosing to forget her but she couldn't find a way to. He'd told her not to call him at home and she couldn't say when he was home or at work since he hardly texted her. There was no one to ask about her grades, no one to encourage her and it felt as if she was back to square one, struggling to keep up with her grades and worse, reality of life. Her future didn't look so bright anymore as she'd envisioned and her father wasn't helping matters. Right now he was at the hospital and though she wished he would just die and leave them alone, she pondered if that would make things better and easier. She'd spent the little out of her savings on the useless man and she had to take care of her sister and herself. She was going to be reasonable about it and maybe seek help?

But she constantly fought against the thought.

She silently wondered if she could stop by at the office, hiding under the impression of visiting to say hi, but she was worried he wouldn't like it. Besides if she wanted to see him, she would have to keep an appointment.

What would she say if she saw him when she wanted to just run into his arms and tell him how much she missed and wanted him? Perhaps she would go and ask him for help and pray that seeing her would make him remember their relationship and bring back memories of their time together.

As Erin sat at the visitor's lounge, her eyes couldn't stop staring at the door, wondering if her Boss would step out soon since the past one hour she had been waiting and expecting him to step outside. Miss Sulola made things worse by informing her he had a very important visitor and couldn't be disturbed till he was done. She wondered what Mr Tahir would do if he stepped out and discovered his P.A had left her sitting for a long time without even alerting him. She knew he would talk, he always had her back just like the first time they met. She was sure this time wouldn't be different.

She was almost dozing off when she heard a woman's voice and she blinked just to see a a very beautiful and tall lady stepping out of the office. Her throat went dry when her Boss leaned close to kiss her on the lips right in front of everyone.

Miss Sulola stood immediately on seeing them and that was when it clicked that the woman was Tahir's wife. She'd seen her in pictures but seeing her right now intimidated her and made her wonder how she'd thought her Boss would pick her over the princess that stood before her. Her throat went dry as she watched how the two love birds unashamedly displayed affection publicly and right there and then, she wanted the ground to open up and swallow her. She'd never felt so humiliated and used in all her life and when she felt the tears sting, it took her all the effort to hold it in and not embarrass herself right in front of them.

Now if only she could run away before he saw her but it was too late as he spotted her and stopped. She saw the look of familiarity and surprise in his eyes before it was gone.

Or was it fear?

He turned back to the woman before him as they found their way out of his office together, while Mrs Otaiku greeted everyone on her way as they headed out. Torn between what to do, she found her way out of the building fighting tears with the new found truth that had just been displayed right in front of her.

She wasn't certain as to how she would spend the rest of her life, neither was she sure of what next, but the only place she could find refuge right now was a place where no one could see her, somewhere dark and lonely where she'd been just before Tahir had reached to bring her out.

beautiful write up

Erin didn't understand the changes that were going on in her body but grew scared that it was something more than she could handle. This was the third month she'd stopped seeing her period and she knew she was faced with the inevitable as she sobbed into her pillow at night. The naps in class, the morning sickness she was experiencing of recent and how she often got tired, too tired to do so much work as she would doze off at it. Even Wura asked questions as she thought she was sick but she knew she would be pretending if she didn't face the truth. There wasn't any other explanation to what she felt apart from the truth that she was pregnant. There was no point acting surprised either. She was a sexually active girl who had been sleeping with a married man for weeks though he often used a contraceptive.

Was it still possible to get pregnant even with every precaution we took?

The artiste crooning on the radio did little to ease her fears at the moment and at a point she turned it off. Where would this place her? One part of her couldn't help but wish Tahir would embrace that she'd given him what his wife wasn't able to but the other side of her grew wary of the thought that he had every opportunity to deny he was responsible. If he could ignore her presence the day she came to see him, how much more an affair they'd been trying to hide.

She placed a hand on her abdomen wondering if she could abort it and just continue life. Exams were in a month's time and the last thing she wanted to do was worry about a child or stop her education because of a child. She was going to be in her final year in a few month's time and the big future she'd often dreamed of couldn't be hindered by this. Mr Tahir had shown he had nothing to do with her anymore and she was just beginning to live with that fact. The last thing she wanted to do was push herself on him again.

But it's his child...

She closed her eyes not knowing if calling her friends or praying to God to solve this would ease the burden or provide a solution.

What if the child makes him stay...

She opened her eyes as the thought lingered. She couldn't blackmail him, neither could she threaten him to tell his wife. She would even be on the losing end because she still loved him and wanted him to acknowledge the same. She'd never stopped loving him, except he had moved on without her. What if the news made him see what he was missing and come to his senses that he was meant to be with her.

He'd told her she was beautiful and those other words he said when they were together. The child was a product of their love together and it wouldn't be outrageous if she took her last chance into his heart.

It was a while before she slept but there was a flicker of hope this time. If her Boss accepted her baby, she would be the mother of his children and there was a future in that. She just hoped her dreams became her new reality sooner than she hoped.

I knw this was going to happen.
Thanks for the update Ma'am

Forgiven 8

“I want the turquoise colour.” Oyin smiled when she remembered how much her husband loved that particular colour and often mixed it up with blue instead. She couldn’t wait for him to see her nails as a compensation for his listening ears to her last night. She’d brought up the adoption suggestion once again and this time he listened and choose to look up the sites and documents she’d obtained from her research. She knew he would bend, she just wasn’t expecting him to take so long.

Her mind flashed back to the constant nagging thought that had been on her mind for weeks ever since their reconciliation. When they were together there was a certain look in his eyes she would catch before he would look all smiles again. He was still the same man she’d married, and this wasn’t the first time they would have a row, but something stood out this time, something she couldn’t lay her fingers on. She tried to spy on him, perhaps gain access to his phone since she had his password or check his recent account statement as to how money had been going out but she allowed her trust for him hold back. Besides, Tahir couldn’t find out she was having suspicions about him. They’d come too far to start suspecting each other. Her husband’s P.A came to mind immediately but she dismissed the thought the moment it came in. Tahir wouldn’t stoop so low, besides, if he was having an affair with his P.A, she would know. Things like that were easy to sniff out. She had her loyal ones in his office as well.

But what about the weekends he travelled on his business trips? She’d been to herself for a month and had expected him to come around soon enough. She flipped through the catalogue pages choosing to focus on the matter before her. She was looking up a few nursery designs and tonight she could show her husband the little progress she’d made so far. She’d always wanted a boy so that people could compliment how her child bore a striking resemblance to his father but since that wasn’t happening, adopting a girl child wouldn’t be bad at all. She would cherish and love her like her own and have less to worry about a future. She’d been dreaming of it day and night, it had become her driving force, her motivation every single day she woke up and started a new day. She’d never felt so alive. She knew the Otaikus would throw a tantrum but right now, she was too unperturbed to be bothered. Their son had a family and she was his family, not them anymore. It was high time he listened to her. If he was ready to marry someone else, he knew the price he would pay. Yes Love was what tied them together, but money was the wheel on which their love drove. Tahir represented a lot of brands and had a big reputation and she knew his pride, knew his ego was to keep being at the top. He was like her puppet, even though he failed to admit it.

Her phone buzzed reminding her of the society wedding she had to attend the coming weekend. She made a mental note to catch up with her girlfriends the moment she was done with her pedicure and spa treatment. She couldn’t wait to catch up with the latest news on their lives. The last time they met for lunch, she heard Nura the divorcee was getting married to a rich Alhaji while Toyosi was still debating over the custody of taking the kids away from her husband after their bitter divorce. The judge wasn’t giving her a good time and the woman was thinking up ways to have the court order in her favour. Toyosi’s husband had money and so money wasn’t an issue. Perhaps, she would have to think of more obvious ways to have the judge favour her. The lady had been the one advising her on withholding sex from Tahir if he wouldn’t play fair and it had been working so far. They were also friends turned clients patronising her business and also helping her promote her brand. Not all advice they gave was good, but some they’d given she’d found wealth of wisdom in them.

But for how long?

She reached for her phone composing a text message.

Hey baby, I’m making your favourite dish for dinner tonight. Don’t stay too long outside. Love, your One and Only. Xx.

A young lady holding a little girl walked in and she looked up from her phone. Her eyes settled on the child and a smile tugged on her lips.

Soon, her prayers would be answered. God willing she would adore and do all she could to ensure the child lacked nothing and had everything her parents couldn’t give her for them to have abandoned her. One part of her heart wondered why God would give a careless teenager or woman a baby when she who was ready had some ‘disease’. She’d heard God had a sense of humor but she couldn’t understand what kind of jokes he played to leave her feeling this way even after all the money and sacrifice she’d made for him to give her a child.

The child turned to look at her and she smiled again. The little girl gave her a gap-toothed smile and waved. She waved back as her heart constricted. Perhaps it was a sign that hers was coming soon.

She would be patient through the adoption process as she’d read the disadvantages and found them scary and intimidating. She’d been patient this long and she hoped everything turned out alright. She was a fighter…she would fight her way out of this one, no matter what it cost her.

Thanks for the update Ma'am

Thanks for reading Heemah!

Tahir received the message on his phone and smiled. He was just about to go for a break when her message came in and he was going to respond when a call came through. His heart skipped a beat when he recongised the caller ID and he wondered if it was wise to pick her call at this time. He remembered seeing her in his office some weeks ago but by the time he returned, she was gone and there was nothing he could do about it. He wasn’t about sabotaging his reputation and his marriage just because of a fling and emotions that had gone out of hand.

He decided to pick the call.

“Hello…”

“Hello sir, good afternoon sir. I hope everything is alright sir…”

“Everything is fine Erin. Look, can I call you later? I’m in the middle of a meeting…”

“I’m sorry sir but this cannot wait.” He noticed the terse tone of her voice and he raised an eyebrow. If she thought that was enough to make him listen to her, she obviously didn’t know him.

“I’m pregnant sir.”

“What?!” Sulola stood but he waved her down and stepped back into his office closing the door while reaching for his tie. This had to be a joke.

“It’s why I tried calling you but you refused to pick my call or reply my messages.” That was when he heard the tears in her voice. He was about to mention her ex which she’d told him about but as if reading his mind, she continued making it hard for him to escape the truth. “I haven’t seen my period for a while now and you’re the only man I’ve ever been with. You know this…we both know this Tahir.”

He swallowed unable to say anything for a while and he wondered if it was a dream which he would be waking up from as soon as possible. This would have been so different if Oyin was the one carrying the baby, not his former IT student. He couldn’t believe the mockery that taunted him. A few nights with a young lady had gotten her pregnant, and his wife for years still sought a child.

“Hello?”

“What’s your plan?”

“I was thinking of what to do, it’s why I called you. It’s all new to me.”

“Where are you?” he finally found his voice.

“I’m heading home. Ever since I got pregnant I’ve not been feeling too good to stay back in school like before.”

“Okay… have you told anyone? Your friends…your sister or your father?”

“No sir I haven’t.”

“okay that’s good. You know what, I need you to do something for me, stay back in school. I’ll come and pick you for lunch. Can you do that for me?”

“I don’t know if I can.” He could perceive the hesitation and tiredness in her voice.

“Erin you need to do this for me…for us. Can you just trust me to handle this situation? You need me as the father of your child and that’s why you called. Together we can think of what to do.”

“I hope abortion isn’t an option?”

His heart sank. If the girl wasn’t thinking of abortion, then he would have to think up something that will benefit them all in the long run or this would ruin him completely. He wanted a child but not in this dilemma.

“No it’s not.”

“Then I’ll wait. Please be here by 2 o’clock.”

“Sure.”

“See you soon.” And she was gone.

Tahir stared at his phone as perspiration built from the inside. His mind worked as he picked his keys and headed out. His mind tormented him as he drove finding his way to Erin’s school. The last thing he needed her to do was tell anyone of their affair, most definitely not Oyin. He suspected she wanted more, but he couldn’t offer her anything when he was commited to someone else. He knew the girl adored him, but was a witness to how adoration could turn to hatred overnight if things didn’t work out well and he wasn’t about to get himself into worse trouble.

What if she threatens to call my wife to tell her?

He wasn’t going to allow that happen and he began thinking of ways around it to ensure that whatever happened, no one would be at a losing end. The last resort that settled in his mind was to tell Oyinda himself if the worst happened. It was better if he confessed to her, than she hearing it from someone else.
