Haira POV
I just stared, it's no news that he has a girlfriend, I am damn scared of whatever he wants to say next, is he bringing Nikki in too?
"She has done alot for me, my abnormal erection is gone, she made it happen. She's such a damsel, she dropped prostitution when she met me, she's beautiful too, infact she is wise, she doesn't talk too much like you do so I was thinking, since she appreciate me a lot, what if I want to take her as a second wife?"
He stood in front of me, his two palms kissed the wall above my head, our eyes met as he bent his neck downward, he seems so serious. I felt hot from inside, I couldn't utter a word, what have I done to deserve this?
"I would take care of both of you, I promise. She's not going to have babies for me, she's just there to ease me especially when you turn your back on me as usual, you wouldn't stay in the same building, I would buy her a house, a house of her choice and you both would be just fine, I might relocate to her place but you can call me to come over whenever you need me"
I shut my eyes as he spoke, I slid down the wall sitting on my bare butt. I am finished, tears flowed down my cheeks, I don't have anyone to run to, he's my only family, Hanna can do nothing or little, Priscilla wouldn't allow me come back home, Phillip too can do less, how do I face my fans? Just a year and four months of marriage and everything crashed. I thought he promise me the world.
"Stop crying, it's not as serious as this, I thought you said I could get sex outside? that's what I did and I fell in love, let me just bring her home rather than crushing her outside" He said as he squatted in front of me.
"Is this what you promise me? Did you tell me you would dump me for a whore so soon? What about the beautiful family you promise me? Where's the love you use to shower me? Where's it?" I held his arms and shook his body vigorously.
"Is this what you promise me too? Did you tell me you would leave me to starve of sex, attention and a partner to talk to? What about the beautiful marriage you promise me? Where's the love you ought to shower me? Where's it?" He roared, his eyes as red as blood.
"I would take Nikki as a second wife if you don't learn, I am hating you already, you know where I have been all three days? Now listen, you would stop talking about us to people including my mom. I don't want my marital issues outside our home, it's just you and I, if you don't let the devil in, we wouldn't have issues like this to sort. I am warning you for the last time, keep our marriage safe, I have committed the abominable by hitting you, for God sake you are an angel and deserve more than I am giving you, why in heaven's name would you keep pouring our marriage privacy outside? Don't push me, you have pushed me to have sex at the wrong place and with the wrong person, I am still here because I love you, I tortured you all the while because I want you to learn, I don't know if it's not working but you have to open your inner ears and listen, I am tired of maltreating you, my heart bleeds, my daughter is in there and she's not happy, Haira in the name of God, the one you believe so much in, make things right in your marriage, be wise and grow up"
He stood up and walk straight to the wardrobe, I cried bitterly, he left me to do my thing. He sat on the bed after dressing up and watch me cry endlessly.
"Did I pass a message? Is my wife changed or she want me to go for a second wife? I am okay by both" He said after watching me in silence for over fifteen minutes.
I spread my arms open asking for a hug, he ran out of bed and help me stand up. He pulled me into him and pat my back begging me to stop crying
"I am sorry, Treasure I know I have done a lot of damage to us, I just wanted to make you a father, I thought you were selfishly trying to delay my conception, you never reminded me of the risks involved, I had to take my sister's advice and pray against every forces in our home, I am truly sorry" I apologize still holding him tight. I can't allow a second wife, I would rather say a million sorry.
"I understand, I should have spoken to you about the baby making before marriage, I don't want to lose you please, I love you Haira, please can you take our marital issues far from people like Hanna? Listen to me for once please, Just be wise baby, I know what I am talking about" He pleaded kissing my neck.
I nodded, I would take caution, the only thing that matters now is my home.
"I am sorry for hitting you" He looked me in the eyes, a tear escaped his left eye, I wipe it and took his lips in mine. I have missed his sincere and passionate kisses. He withdraw running straight to the side drawer, he got a pack of cigarette and quickly light one.
"Treasure, you..........."
"I can't help it, you have to work on me all over again, I smoke heavily now" He said obviously feeling sorry.
I shrugged, I don't mind working on him all over again, now that he's back to me, I hope the keys I use in getting him to my side still works perfectly. Pushing my tummy to the wardrobe, I searched for a flare gown and wore it over my unclad body. I want to make it easy for him should in case he decides to have me after a very long time.
I joined him in bed, sitting behind him with my two legs spread apart. He rubbed my laps from behind as he continue smoking.
"I would have my hair trimmed, should I get you anything on my way back?" He asked puffing a thick smoke into the space.
"Where's your car?" I asked, when he came, I didn't hear the car horn, he came in by foot.
"Nikki seized the key, I miss you and I was going to come home when she took the key, she want me to stay so I took a public transport" He said. I hugged him from behind, he's such a darling.
Hanna POV
I told Laura about Haira's pregnancy, she was upset, we wonder how it happened when Ambrose haven't touched her in a while.
"Did she not say he haven't touched her in a while? How did she get pregnant?" Laura asked.
She came to deliver a gold Anthony bought for me, our wedding have been fixed for mid next month. Anthony would be traveling few days after the wedding. He's currently going around town to get things set.
"My sister, I don't understand. She was going to tell me her child's gender when I heard some kind of ugly noise and she ended the call. The useless Ambrose was here yelling three days ago, I don't have his time now, until after my wedding" I hissed.
"Call her now now, that child is a threat oo se you know?" Laura asked opening her palm.
"I know but, what do I do now?"
"Look, the child mustn't be a male ooo, you should be the one carrying Ambrose's heir" She pulled her ear and I laughed.
"Ambrose like children but he loves female, he doesn't have a sister and that is why he pampers women alot, you should be saying she should have a male while I birth the female, he would kiss my feet just to see his daughter" I said rubbing my tummy and hoping that I have a female in there.
"Really? call her now please, ask her the gender of her child let's know where to start from" Laura said and I nodded.
I reached for my phone and dialed her number, she sounded so bright and excited, I knew for sure that Ambrose is back.
"What happened now? You just went off three days ago, you were going to tell me what you have in that your small belly, wait how many months self?"
"Seriously? I have a child here, yes, I would leave God to decide what gender it's" She said from the other end. I exchanged fierce glance with Laura.
"Haven't you gone for scan?"
"I have dear but remember scans aren't always accurate" She said from the other end.
"So tell me what the scan said now, okay if you don't want to tell me, tell me your Edd please" I giggled trying to persuade her.
"My Edd? I don't know either moreover is it something I should discuss with you? I think you would get a call when I put to birth, have a wonderful afternoon sis and take care of your baby too"
My mouth parted, an adult knuckle would go in with the way it parted wide, Laura clapped in amusement when the call ended, Haira is acting all smart.
"Who teach am? Did she give that response?" Laura asked in amusement.
"I am perplexed, Ambrose must be around her I guess" Laura said and I nodded.
"Yes, she might be scared to talk, give it a try some other time"
We had few more discussion and she left.
Ambrose POV
When I told her I haven't eaten anything good aside junks in three days, she ran down to the kitchen to dish out some food for me. After smoking a little, I went downstairs for lunch. She was in the kitchen making a call, I decided to eavesdrop. It was probably Hanna trying to know her due date and the gender of our unborn child. I smiled at my wife's smart response, she's wise now and I think I have to pay Nikki off, I know Nikki wouldn't let me go for free, she's so mad over me and I am ready to pay any amount. Nikki helped me become normal again, I like her but I love my wife, the woman behind my success.
I walk into the kitchen and kissed her from behind holding her just perfect tummy.
"What should I do here? It been a while I joined you in the kitchen" I kissed her shoulder, I wish I could take her but I wasn't ready, if I would have her after a long time, it has to be memorable, it has to be like our first time together. I need to trim my hair and beard then stay off alcohol for that day so that I wouldn't hurt her under the influence of alcohol.
"Nothing, I made lunch already"
She got of my hold and went to dish out stew in a flower plate, I watch her with a lust filled eyes, she hasn't changed a bit except that she is now lean.
"Do you battle any pregnancy challenge? Am sorry I haven't been there, I would make it up in this four months left" I pleaded resting my body against the cupboard.
"The ten million Naira, what did you do with it?" She asked ignoring my own question.
"I bought a car for Nikki, I use the money" I confess looking in her direction for a reaction. She turn back to give me a sharp look, I look elsewhere, I am ashamed of myself now.
"Am sorry" I pleaded.
"I want to meet her" She said. My eyes bulged, she wasn't looking at me, she arranged the food on a tray.
"What? I can't allow that, I have had sex with her countless times, she's your enemy, she doesn't even want to hear your name" I tried explaining.
"You, you smash beautiful ladies, I know you too well, bring her to me, she help you get your erection back to normal, she must be a good girl then, let me meet her and apologize to her for the discomfort I am about to cause her, I can't let you go add I have to talk to her about it" She said gesturing at me to pick the tray and come with her. I carried the food tray and followed her, she held her back with her left hand as she pushed towards the dinning room.
"If she had eased you of the one big problem we are having, then I owe her a thank you" She insisted as she sat on a chair while I distributed the plates on the table.
I am not comfortable with this seriously, I wouldn't let it happen, Nikki is a mad woman, she would tear my wife apart if she gets to see her one on one. She's a weed smoker and a total shameless slut even though she said she have dropped the life since she met me.
"I would see to that, she would meet you" I lied. I can't endanger my wife and child. After all, I paid Nikki well all the time we were together.
I ate hungrily while she kept touching my face, she must have missed me a lot, I am here now and I go no where ever again.
