PamelB you're there jor. Claire is really having a tough time even though she's acting unconcerned.

"Ask Ebere to see me now." Michael said to Chika.
She nodded and left the dinning.

He couldn't get any atom of sleep the previous night.
What Claire had told him rang in his head throughout.
Was Ebere truly pregnant for him? If positive, then he was ruined for life, the name he had made for himself in the business world would be ruined, his career, what would Chief say?

His phone rang and he picked it, speak of the devil;

"Good morning dad."

"Have you seen the news this morning? What is wrong with Claire?"

"No sir. I've not seen the news but......."

"Just when I thought you two have gotten what you need most in life, she's financially stable and you're still alive so tell me what she's looking for iin another man."

"Sir?"

"I'll call back in an hour and I want her on the line by then."

"Ye.....yes sir."

Chief terminated the call.
What news was that? He quickly went to his browser. Whatever news that is must be trending on NL.

***********

"He's looking for me?"

"Yes, you. And before you start thinking that he's in the room, he's not. His new wife is still in bed."

Ebere frowned

"Why are you teasing me now? Do you think that with the recent happenings, I'll still allow him to touch me? My life is very important to me biko."

"Finally, you've started to think with your brain. Ngwa, go and answer him."

"But what do you think the problem might be? You served him breakfast so why does he need me?"

"Maybe your tea tastes better or maybe he wants to fire you."

"Chika!"

"Yes nau. Excuse me biko."

Ebere looked her over before exiting the room.


*********

This wasn't happening. Pictures of Claire and the barrister were trending on NL with different topics;

Biafrabushboy - Face of jiji gets a new fork mate.

Purityval- Has the new face of jiji found warmth in the arms of another man?

Queenitee- Married ambassador of jiji frolicks with a new catch

Kimkardashian- Disgrace to womanhood; married woman goes nude for her new lover

There were different topics that had both of them in it.

He cursed audibly. This wasn't what he planned for when he said he wanted a divorce.
Now, his entire life would be on the internet.

"Sir, you sent for me." Ebere interrupted his thoughts

He looked at her closely. It was the second time he was seeing her since he returned.
She looked different, like someone who's afraid of something.
She no longer had that courage in her eyes. That means that it was true. She was pregnant.

"Why did you tell Claire instead of me? Why didn't you tell me first? We would have done something about it."

"About what?" Amara asked, coming into the dining.

*********

She tossed on the bed, her phone has been ringing and she was too sleepy to wake up. She had found it hard going to bed the previous night. She had thought of so many things and in the end, she realised that she was never at fault in all if it, except not knowing that she was pregnant. That was her only fault.

She picked the phone from the lamp stand and there were nine missed calls, all from Phil.
She tried to call back but another call started coming in.
CHANTEL

"Hello." She said into the receiver.

"Don't tell me you're still in bed. Have you seen the news?"

"No, I've not. Good morning."

"Thank you. Babe, you're everywhere. Your pictures are trending in all platforms and you're still in bed? Shower and wait for me, I'm coming."

"Alright."

She hung up.
They had planned to see in the afternoon and now, whatever news that was trending has changed their plans. She hadn't even had breakfast.

She sat up and the first place her mind went to was twitter.
She logged into her account and her eyes widened in shock.
Her followers had increased to double of what it used to be. Her notification tab had over hundred tweets. What was happening?
She scrolled down and a picture caught her eye. Phil was dragging her up from the sandy beach, the next one was when he carried her up in his arms. Then another, they were in the water and she had her arms wrapped around his abs.
She had forgotten she was now a known personality, she had forgotten that her life was no longer for herself alone but for everyone.

A comment caught her attention; "when you don't have money and you suddenly wake up to billions of naira, the first thing you do is thank God and not leaving your husband at home for some man."

Another lady had tweeted, "jiji don make you celebrity so enjoy. Pray desperate girls don't go running to your husband."

She smiled and bit her lower lip.
She would wait for it to die down, then, she'll bare her mind to the world.

She dropped the phone and striped. She needed a cold shower, then a make over.

If I didn't know, I would have really commented that way about Claire but no.

But who posted the photos? I'm sure it's not Phil. I guess it's Amara at work again.

Sis PamelB you are the bomb

otabuko:
Chai. You're a late comer oh!

real late comer my dear.

otabuko:
Chai. You're a late comer oh!

real late comer my dear.

Claire pregnant or is she talking about Ebere? What of Sandra? I've nothing to say about Michael and Amara.
PamelB I keep saying it, your face is very familiar.. Do you stay around Akpak.....(you can complete it)

Nice story dear, no vexation for me abeg

queenitee:

Sis PamelB you are the bomb

I'm suspecting the girl she met in the restaurant when she went to abj or hungry blogger

let her tell the world that she is a divorcee abeg they should leave my baby alone her happiness matters abeg

bimberry1307:

real late comer my dear.

Lol. Shaa, read through you'd get the clue. Cheers.

I DON'T TRUST THIS CHANTEL ABI SHANTEL OF A PERSON , something doesn't seem right about her .

Prettyhurts:

That's also true

This is why it's not good to judge a person from the outside. See people's comment without knowing what Claire has endured in the marriage. This is for those calling Toke, tonto, Ini, Mercy, Kate, Linda etc names. it's better to shut up if you don't know what went wrong inside the home. Don't judge anyone.

i hope Claire is not pregnant o




*panicking*

pamelB hun y ? oh y? y shud claire be pregnant? y? amara is nt pregnant 4 mike dats 4 sure, bt ebere? chai am scared oh, bt wait oh sis y shud i be the one to castigate claire wen i love her, beta strt explaining oh,

I tink ts d pregnancy mike punched out of her.

Amara stared from Ebere to Michael.

"What didn't she tell you?" She repeated her question again

"Uhm, baby, its nothing really." Michael fidgeted

"But I want to know, so tell me." She settled beside him.

He looked from his mistress to Ebere whose eyes were shimmering with unshed tears.
What exactly was he going to say to Amara?

********

She looked at the three faces and she fought with herself not to laugh.
One face was curious, the other was afraid while the third one was confusion laced with fear.
She would come in now. If Amara finds out that Ebere was carrying Michael's baby, she would leave the house. She didn't want that. She wanted her to suffer and go through the same ordeals she had gone through so, its a big no. She won't let them tell her.

*********

"Honey, are you hiding anything from me?" Amara stared into his face.
He had sweat on his forehead and his eyes were not steady.

"What are you hiding? You, what's happening here?" She faced Ebere

A tear ran down her face and she looked away.

"Amara, you're putting the girl on a tough spot. If your baby papa can't tell you what he's hiding, why turn your frustration to the poor girl?" Claire walked in, surprising the crowd of three.

"And who invited you to this chit chat of ours?" Amara asked, folding her hands under her bosom.

"I don't need invitation when it comes to my employees. Ebere, get out."

"Hmm?" Michael hummed unconsciously, surprised at the reaction his ex wife was displaying.

Ebere left as fast as her feet could carry her. A part of her was excited. Her boss has forgiven her. If not, why will she cover for her? She said a prayer of thanks as she slipped past the dinning and walked down the hallway that led to the room she shared with Chika.

"You're tasting mini powers on a helper, why not look for your mate who'll help redesign this shameless face of yours? Don't speak to my workers ever again. It's enough that they're cooking your meals." Claire warned.

"Oh! You won't talk to me like that."

"I just did. And yes, she told me about the house upkeep allowance instead of him. That's why he's upset. You should trust your baby papa alright. You two need it." She settled into a sofa and fixed her eyes on the television.

"Claire I hate you. I hate you so much." Amara cried and raced upstairs.
This was not just what she bargained for. Just few days in the house and she's getting the opposite of what she came for. If she had known that her Claire was now cold to pain, she would have operated from the comfort of her home.

"I curse the day you became my sister Claire. I hate you." She cried, throwing herself on the bed; the same bed she defiled.

*******

"Why did you cover up for me? You still love me, don't you?" He heard himself say.

She shot him a funny look and broke into a laugh which made him ashamed of himself.
He wished he had not said those words. He wished he could take them back because the woman he was speaking to at the moment isn't the woman he married for love.

"Love you? You must be drunk on some cheap wine my dear."

She fixed her gaze back to the television.
He won't ruin her mood, she won't let him.

"Chief called. He'll still call back though. He saw the trending news so he's worried."

"Okay."

"Okay?"

"Yes. Okay. Do you want to hear something else? If he's worried, get him out of his worries okay. Give him the big news. We'll be divorced in five days."

His heart sank. He had not thought it deep. He had not thought about the consequences of his actions.

"What was my crime? Tell me, what did I do wrong? I've been thinking about it and my only crime was pregnancy. I got pregnant and it ruined pur home. You slept with your secretary, I didn't complain and you brought your shameless self to my sister. I still forgave you, I still respected you but you still went astray. You showed that you're a dog Michael so don't sit down there and talk to me about love."

He saw her fighting with the tears. She was doing a good job by holding it back. He felt her pain.

"And you've brought her into my house, to spite me but no, i won't let the wicked hearts of two people on heat to ruin the plans God has for me. You asked for a divorce and I've given you so tell Chief that we're divorced. I'm ready to move on, tell him."

She picked her phone and walked out of the house. A walk around would clear her head.

*********

"You just sat down there and watched her say mean things to me. You did nothing, you said nothing. Fine, this house belongs to her, let's leave. You've got other properties where we can start our own little family. Let's leave Michael or I'll be forced to believe that you're still in love with her."

"Amara, rest for a while please. You're just being .. ......*

"Who chases rats when his house is on fire? I won't rest till she leaves our lives." She stood up and left.

He slumped on his bed.
What had he gotten himself into? There was a big gap between Amara and his Claire. He compaired the two and ended up shaking his head. He has made a mistake.
He has lost his wife in a quest to satisfy his flesh. He was not a man anymore.

More ink to your... Sorry more Mb to your gadget

I'm confused, a part of me feel sorry for Micheal, it wants Micheal and Claire back, yet the other part hates him, that part wish he would die.

Lemme settle for the former, I want Micheal and Claire back.
*Run out of thread before team #Philandclaire comes for my head*

The only problem i av with Michael is dat he thinks with his d**k,instead of is head/brain

PamelB is bae

Amara u just started ur own pain, one Yoruba adage says pasan tafi na iyale o wa in ori aja fun iyawo, my pple wey kno english more dan should help m to translate it o. Nonsense Micheal

What annoys me the most is Amara not acknowledging the wrong she did her sister,how dare her still claim miss right in the whole act,she is terribly sick in the head.
She must learn in a bitter way,Claire should just remain strong and fight this thru,she doesn't deserve that dog of a man called Michael. He deserves a very miserable life.yeye.

Well done ma'am pamelB ,keepirup,I'm really really really really really really really really really enjoying this.......lol.

bummybummy:

Y na? What did she do wrong?

eitsei:
wait! Are you kidding? Micheal deserves it, you and I know if the ball was in Michael's court she would have been thrown out already
I like the new Claire jare... Michael has hurt her enough ready let the fire be turned on him too to feel how it is to hurt someone

Ya! U ryt. But the Claire I knw has a conscience,that's wat makes her different from mike. To me she's taking these a little bit extreme.

PamelB kudos to u.May God increase ur wisdom(amen).Let's b realistic if ds is not a story,will u all advice Claire to leave her hubby.Ds is wat sm marriages r going trio,u CNT ask her to live d home she has built 4 two yes n start anoda just lyk dat cos she doesn't no wat might happen were she is going.

Aunty pamel, the way this story is headed hope Claire won't be going back to Michael?? Biko don't interfere with KARMA.
