Hanna POV
It been a week we wedded, he refuse to make love to me since he discover my pregnancy. it been excuse upon excuses. I am fed up, it's not as if he doesn't get erected, sometimes his erection becomes obvious from outside his trouser yet he wouldn't touch me.
"Leave me please" I yank my hands off him. I walk up to the door and waited for him to provide the keys.
"We just got married, it's too early for this please" He pleaded.
"Isn't it too early to start talking to a marriage counselor? Over what? Anthony for the past three months you haven't touched me, now we are married you still won't attend to me? This is your marital right for God sake" I yelled as he inserted the key and turned it to the left.
I jumped into the house almost immediately, I was boiling. We have been in the hotel since our wedding, we were suppose to spend two weeks there having the best of all. My darling husband refused to lift my gown up. Out of frustration, I ask that we return home.
"Princess, I love you seriously, sex isn't just my thing" He pleaded trying to run after me as I climb up the stairs. He rolled our bags behind us noisily.
"I don't want love, I want pleasure!" I yelled.
"Relax, you are carrying a baby, please now Hanna, give me time to adjust"
I slump into bed mumuring curses, he place our bags beside the wardrobe.
"Princess, am sorry please, I would give you everything and anything you want when the time comes" He help me remove my sneakers, I wore a navy green shirt and a white carrot crazy Jean to match.
"Now, I want it now, your child needs you for God sake" I kicked him and he fell with his back.
"I understand your anger, I would return when you are calm"
I watch him leave the house, I was going crazy. I need to smoke. I reach for a pack from the drawer and lighted a stick.
"Shit! Three months? Talk to your friend" I echoed into Laura's hearing. She actually called and I didn't wait for an "Hello" before I poured my peeve.
"Three months what?" She asked sounding confused.
"He refuse to touch me even after our legalization, I don't know what is going on seriously, he left the house few minutes ago" I was close to tears now, I don't know why I feel so upset about him denying me of sex.
"I would talk to him, I promise. Look, that aside for, Emeka submitted the pictures, should I send it to Ambrose?" She asked. I smiled devilishly. I inhaled from my stick and puff out a cloudy smoke. I hired Emeka to take Images with Haira in bed. She was actually drugged through a drink, I was amused that everything went well as Laura planned. Ambrose was carried away at the party while Emeka did a good job on his wife. Nikki refuse to tag along, I and Laura tried to convince her but she bluntly refused saying Haira doesn't deserve to be tortured. If only she knew that Haira snatched that man I value so much. Haira is a witch.
"Yes, hope it's looking real?"
"Over real dey worry am. You would get a call from her soon, I can't wait to join in the tears, my messenger is on his way to deliver the mind blowing package" She laughed out loud.
"And if it works?" I asked knowing how jealous Ambrose can be.
"She leaves, I hope she has somewhere to go" Laura laughed.
"Don't say that, I and my husband are good people, we would accommodate her and the bastard" I whistle.
"So, who's taking over Amberose?" She asked.
"Maybe Nikki, I would be in charge that way. I can control him with the child and I can control Nikki too since it seems I help her get the man she carve for"
"You still want to be chopping Ambrose?" She asked chuckling.
"Fact remains that I am carrying his child" I grinned rubbing my belly.
"Bye bye, I wish you all the best in your marriage"
"Come, you are turning 30 soon, when would you get married?"
"I told you already, the only man I want is in love with someone kind of bitch like that" She hissed.
"Uhmmmm, get him now, you are smart" I advised.
"Yes, everything is under control for now, I am trying to get the lady out of the way and am sure in no time, I would be in" She assured and I nodded.
"Better, have a wonderful day" I greeted.
I ended the call and inhaled from my stick. I feel better now.
Ambrose POV
I joined her in the recommended exercise. The doctor said she needs a lot of vegetables and exercise. Everyday we climb up and down the stairs fifty times. I allow her do little squatting and jumping. It's not an easy task though but she's ready to do anything for the safety of our child.
Something tells me there's more to last week incidence, I feel something is about to happen soon. A part of me wants to get a body guard for Haira, another part is against the idea. I am just confused. I am really worried about her and the child. There was a lot of panicking when I couldn't find her after the reception. Apollos couldn't say much about her whereabout. I had sleepless night and made a lot of contact. Her phone kept ringing but she never answered it. I almost went crazy.
I watch her drifted to dreamland after a cold shower. Next week is her birthday and I still don't know what to get for her since her bracelet has been stolen or maybe missing. She's got everything materialistic, a glass house, about four houses here in Nigeria all in her name and our cars are always ready to transport her around. Maybe I would get the same bracelet again since she likes it so much.
I needed to get a bit tipsy so I went to the bar to gulp down a glass of alcoholic wine. Saint came in and walked up to the bar, he handed a brown envelope to me, he claimed a motorist delivered it. On the parcel was written "To my baby, Haira".
I frowned, who addresses my wife as baby? Eugene? Her dad? Maybe. I ask Saint to return to his duty post while I impatiently tore the envelope. I found pictures of Haira in bed with another man. She was unclad in two of the images, she was sleeping and her man slept next to her. I checked other images with utmost shock, my hands shaking, sweat formed on my forehead as I took two glasses of wine and preached to myself. I spread the images on the wine counter, observing them one by one, I could tell it wasn't real. This was a set up. My wife was sleeping so deep, the guy's eyes was wide open in some of the pictures, the posture on some of the pictures convinced me that she knew nothing about what was going on. I actually found a note in the envelope, I decided to read after much panicking and fear, it read "I don't have issues with you, I just want my daughter. If you love your marriage as you claimed, bring my pregnancy to me in two weeks or else, I would tell your husband everything. Those images are just to tell you how much I meant what you just read, I have our sex tape and I would not hesitate to send it straight to the net if you don't show up with my pregnancy. Good day"
"Your father!" I laughed hysterically after reading the note.
I don't know why but I am 100% sure my wife is no cheat. The baby is mine and this is just a set up, ordinary blackmail. I took a second look at the pictures, she had her make up intact, with the side clip on her hair I could tell when this pictures were taken. It was last week when she suddenly went missing. Yes, I am certain.
"Hanna, try harder baby!" I laughed again. I seriously don't know why Hanna is joking with me in this manner, she knows I am smart yet she's trying to play smarter. This is just a mere set up, aside the numerous rape, I have been the only one taking Beatrice to bed. If there's any video then I would wait for it in two weeks as threatened. I have been set up before so I know how it feels. I am glad I got the parcel and not Haira, she would have been too scared to tell me about it and maybe start playing to their tunes. It's time Ambrose, to stand like a man and face this devil called Hanna.

"What are you doing here?" She yelled as I step into her sitting room.
"Oh, I was just passing by you know? I never knew you would be back from honeymoon, I came to check on my friend" I smiled, talking on top of my voice. I was trying to know if Anthony is home before I let the cat out of the bag.
"Anthony isn't home so out!" She yelled flinging the door open. I slump into a couch ignoring her orders. I fixed my eyes on the TV, the channel was Geo wild.
"This animals are actually better than some people, some people just sleep with their sister's husband and begin to blackmail him with a manipulated video oh God, can you replace such people with a pig? We don't mind nursing dirty pigs, they are actually better this set of stupid people" I said starting my trouble. Her facial expression couldn't be described, she slammed the door and came to sit opposite me.
"Are you referring to me?" She yelled.
"No, definitely not. Ehn eh, why do some people even derive pleasure in tormenting others and causing problems in a beautiful family?" I asked again. I laid flat in the couch and stretched my two legs on it. I was enjoying the drama, she's so upset.
"Get out!" She yelled standing to her feet.
"You claim to love me sometimes ago and now you are walking me out of your house, I seriously don't understand you" I hissed as I got up from the couch.
She quickly ran to hold me, she's catching some feelings and I am toying with that.
"Baby, I still love you but you are making it hard for us" She said calmly.
"And if you don't want me to make it harder, stay off my home!" I held her two arms and shook her vehemently.
"Excuse me?" She said with a falling eyes.
"Stop that pretence, are you trying to tell me Haira is a cheat? That my child isn't mine? I got the parcel, yes it was me that received it and I am ready to stand by wife till the end of times, you have to try harder because this little pranks wouldn't work on our love, we have gone beyond the shakeable" I threw her into the couch in anger. I tried to control myself anyways, my anger would boil a tuber of yam.
"I don't know what you are talking about" She protested. I backed her and held the sides of my waist as I chuckled.
"I know you, you are cunny and stupid, you know me, I am smart, so smart. I would swear in front of the most powerful deity that Haira is no cheat and that child is mine. I and my woman spent a larger part of our time together indoor, so how did the concubine come in not to talk of impregnating her? You sent the parcel am very sure but I am merciful and that's why I am here to warn you, if you come close to my home with evil intentions next time, you would not get our of it alive, I promise" I roared.
"What about our child? Would Anthony father your child for life? You are so sure the baby in that witch's womb is.............."
I raised my index finger up cutting her short. I faced her with a peeved face.
"Mine. The child is mine and even if she's not mine, it's not your business, I don't know a thing about that lizard in your tummy, ain't you married already?"
"Would Anthony father your child till eternity? The child is yours man!" She roared.
"I can't remember impregnating another woman aside Haira" I defended.
"I would send the tape to your wife, you would regret talking to me in this manner" She threatened. I laughed hysterically for minutes non stop. That threat is void now, if Hanna sends that video to Haira, I would just tell Haira it was me having sex with Nikki.
"Send it to her right now, I mean now!" I said with all boldness. Her eyes gobbled, she shook her head and ask me to come again.
"We have gone beyond that, do worst things my wife and I still remains, you had better stop trying or else, you would stop breathing"
I headed for the door feeling fulfilled. I met a lady eavesdropping on our conversation immediately I step out. I don't know her and I don't think she knows me too. Who cares anyways? My marriage is safe for now and I have to put my child and wife under my protecting wings.
Hanna POV
I was still trying to get out of the shock Ambrose gave me when Emelda step in clapping. My heart accelerated and threatened to jump out of my mouth. She must have heard our conversations.
"I said it! So this is it? All your shakara and gra gra, the baby isn't Anthony's?" She raised her shoulders up and mocked me as she paraded the sitting room.
"Please Emelda, I would give you anything you want, don't tell this to Anthony please" I went on my knees, my head hot, I could feel my intestine dehydrating.
"What do you have to give me? The only thing you can give me and I would appreciate is Anthony, in that case, no two ways, Anthony must hear this, this marriage of yours can't work! Anthony is mine!" She snapped her fingers at me as she dashed our of the room in a rush.
"Mogbe!" I searched for my phone crying and hitting my butt on the floor. Laura ooo, am dead.
