Ambrose POV
I was making out with Haira when Apollos came knocking, she said a lady wants to see me. I finish up with Haira and left for the sitting room with Haira. I froze when I saw Nikki. Leg crossed and face painted in heavy cosmetics.
"Nikki" I whispered to Haira's ear as we climb down the stairs.
"I would handle it, she looks crazy, protect me" She whispered back as she walk in front of me.
"You didn't just leave me like that did you? Ambrose, I am human and I love you. I haven't been my self since you left me" Nikki said immediately she sighted us. She walk up to me and kiss me right in front of Haira.
"Nikki, am apologizing on behalf of my husband, we are sorry, we can pay you off" Haira came in. I got out of Nikki's hold and went to hold Haira instead.
"Pay me? For? Who's this thing Ambrose?"
My head became big, she called my wife a thing.
"Nikki, I wouldn't have you insult............"
"Let me handle it" My wife shun me. She took position in front of me and faced Nikki.
"5 million? 10 million? Name your price" Haira boldly stood in front of her, she held her tummy protectively.
"No amount would make me leave Ambrose, you would leave instead" Nikki roared, her eyes red. I dropped into a couch and watch the drama I brought upon my family.
"Nikki, you love Ambrose?" Haira asked.
"Yes"
"You want to marry him, you want to have babies for him? You want to be Mrs Ford don't you?"
"Exactly, that's what I am here to seal tonight"
I watch like a dummy as the two of them stood up to each other, I breathed in and out at intervals. I hope Haira can really handle this.
"Nikki, I am almost due for delivery, what I have inside me is his child, let's say he actually leave me for you, can you change the fact that his first child is from another woman? Do you know what I am going through as Mrs Ford? I visit the clinic every now and then, truth be told, you mightn't have babies for Ambrose, this pregnancy and his own survival is Grace. What if another woman feels she likes him tomorrow and take him from you? How would you feel Nikki? Nikki have you asked yourself if you match what Ambrose want? He told me about your sex escapade, you never enjoyed sex with him did you? What gives you the assurance that sex would be good after marriage? We have gone through a lot together, Nikki please don't be the reason for another women's tears" Haira went on her kneels and held Nikki's feet.
Nikki was calm, seems Haira is getting somewhere.
"He showed me love, he spent on me, he's so caring, I can't leave him" Nikki lamented slipping her feet off Haira's hand.
"Ambrose never loved you, he wanted just sex, it was lust. He still came back to me after everything you shared, Nikki please let him go please" Haira knelt there and shed tears.
"Ambrose, say something!" Nikki yelled. I looked in her direction and shrugged.
"I have nothing to say, I seriously don't love you but I am ready to pay you off, Nikki please start life all over again, there are single men out there who would gladly have you as their wife" I said leaning forward in the couch.
She stood there and cried, Haira too cried. Minutes later she help Haira up and they hug tightly. I exhaled, at least I can have some peace in my home.
"I wish you all the best in your marriage and safe delivery too" She told Haira as she stormed out of the house.
Hanna POV
I paced up and down waiting for my driver, the lady I collided with earlier came out of Ambrose's compound, she wasn't looking up and she collided into me. Now I have the time to insult her.
"Next time, you look where you are heading, whore!" I snapped. She raised her head up, she was actually crying.
"Is that what y'all think of me? Ambrose think am a whore too and he left me for Haira? You also think? God! I am in a very bad mood right now so just let me be you vagabond" She yelled at me as she walk pass me. I swallowed my saliva, my gobbled eyes followed her, I ran after her and apologize for insulting her. We talked and she told me how she just lost the only man she ever loved. We exchanged contact and I promise to give her a call.
A lot of thoughts ran through my mind, if this set up I add Laura are planning works, then Nikki would have him right? At least it's better than Haira having him. I think Nikki would love to tag along in our plans. Haira has to leave!
My driver drove into the street and the car came to an halt in front of me. I jumped in breathing heavily.
Ambrose POV
A week later.
I watch her get dressed, she's smashing beautiful. We have been doing it like goats, I can't just get enough of her, she's too sweet and hot. Even with her mood swing, she's still loving.
It's Hanna's wedding, yesterday was the engagement and I was amazed. Politicians came, Anthony seems to be loaded, we were meant to serve food for ourselves. Money smell at every corner of the hall. I wondered what today would look like. Yesterday Hanna and Anthony came in a convoy of eight cars, all white. They walk in on a red carpet sprayed with white petals. Security officers everywhere, I heard a female music star would grace the occasion today. I just hope this witch doesn't ruin her home this time that she finally found a true man.
"Oh my God! Even with pregnancy, you are a killer" I commented sincerely as she turn around for me to see what she's got. Her birthday is in two weeks, I don't know what to get for her since it looks like I have given her every good thing of life. I bought her a very expensive bracelet yesterday, she wore it on her right wrist and flaunted the bling bling. we would be leaving for Dubai mid December, she's expecting our child early January. I can't wait to hold my daughter.
"Everyone is gonna turn their necks, oh this is Mrs Ford" She grinned picking up a portable designer bag. She wore a red and white gown, a professional sown gown made by an highly booked and known fashion designer. The gown flow behind her, her left lap peeped out at interval. She's just too hot for me to control my erection.
"Remember, you are taken" I giggled forgetting that she's obviously carrying my child.
"I am yours for life" She responded walking towards the door. I stared at her red auto gele and smiled at the attention she would be getting at the party.
Apollos was to go with us so she got ready in her own ready made gown. Apollos birthday is in a month, she would be turning eighteen.
They sat in the car and we drove off to the registry. The registry was crowded, big men cars everywhere, I did a lot of turning before I found a parking space. It was money speaking, they paid specially for their section, live wedding Tvs were present, I was jealous and amused at the same time. Bobby appeared in a blue agbada, I made jest of him as I parted ways with my wife and went with Bobby to greet other men. At the end of the court wedding, we took pictures upon pictures until they finally got into their convoy. This time the cars were all blue, about twelve cars with security personnel in some of them. Hanna's wedding was a hit! A breathing taking wedding, am sure other couples having their wedding at the registry that same day would feel so bad at what they just saw, those big men were already spraying money from the registry. It is a wedding to remember.
I got my woman and Apollos in the car and we headed for the reception. This one ehn, too much money. Anthony's friends danced in spraying dollars in bundles. I was amongst his friends and money of course isn't a problem. It was fun filled, entertaining, sorrow wiping. I forgot my wife entirely and joined other men to drink. There was too much to eat, comedians were present, known models were on sit, I couldn't believe Hanna barge herself this type of man.
Haira POV
He forgot me totally, I was so upset, Apollos, my dad and Bobby tried keeping my company though, it was not enough because they had other things to attend to. At some point it was only me and Apollos on our table. I felt irritated, I went to the ladies to ease my self. I was stepping out when I bump into a man, he said he's a fan and called himself Emeka.
He kept my company and we got talking as we walk back to the hall. He offered me a drink and I finally drank a little after rejecting it a hundred times. I soon started feeling strange, I rushed back to the ladies when I felt like I was going to throw up. He followed, from throwing up to feeling dizzy and that was it, I think I fainted I really don't know, everything just went totally blank.
*
I woke up to behold a gloomy light coming from the little space the parted curtain gave. I could tell it was mid day. I turned my head slightly, it looks so strange, the room. It took me few minutes to get myself together and sit upright. This was no room in my home, where the fuck am I? I am even naked.
"Ambrose" I called out weakly, he definitely brought me here.
"Treasure" I called again when I heard nothing.
There still was no response, I stood up and wash my face in the bathroom, he wasn't there too. My make up was ruined, my expensive bracelet wasn't on my wrist again. I rushed back to the room, I saw my ear rings and auto gele on the bed. I searched for the bracelet, there was nothing like that. My phone rang, Ambrose.
"Where are you? I have been looking everywhere since yesterday" He roared into the phone, my heart raced, who brought me here? Emeka? Noo
"I woke up in a strange room, I don't know where this is, I thought you brought me here" I said panicking. He went silent until I spoke again "Hello"
"Are you okay? The baby?"
"We are fine but where's this?" I asked peeping out the window. I saw a fueling station across the road.
"Rembo fueling station, that's what I can see from where I am standing" I said as my fear increased.
"I know the fueling station, keep your phone next to you, I would be with you soon" He ended the call. I saw a hundred missed calls all from him since the previous day.
I did a thorough check on myself, no sign of rape or sex. Maybe Emeka just helped me get here when I over drank myself out.
I got dressed and waited for his call, he asked me to try get out of wherever I was. I peeped out of the window and I saw him standing next to one of our cars in front of the fueling station. I ran out of the room while he stayed on the phone. It was actually an hotel. I wasn't stopped from leaving, they said all bills have been footed.
I ran out and sighted Ambrose at once. He came to take me across the road.
"Baby, I woke up naked, my bracelet is missing, I don't.............."
"Shhh, were you raped?" He asked as we sat in the car.
"No, no traces" I said trying to hold my heart from jumping out of me.
"You would see the doctor, anything could have happened" He said calmly as he ignited the engine and joined the high way.
I didn't say anything to him even though he kept asking questions, the doctor did a check on me and confirmed that I am just good. We left the clinic and return home. He made a hot bath for me and I prepared lunch. I told him what I remember, we concluded that the person actually helped me to the nearest hotel when I lost consciousness after drinking so much.
