It was not a working day so Ray chooses to stay at home. He has been running away from home cause of his darling wife but that very day he chooses to stay.

He went to the bathroom to use the toothpaste when he discovered his wife was pressing the toothpaste at the middle. He called her name twice and she appeared almost immediately.

"What is the meaning of this? " he asked showing her the toothpaste.
"toothpaste of course, can't you see it? " she answered arrogantly
"why are you pressing it from the middle, it seems you want to waste it"

She laughed "what are you trying to say? I know you are at home to bring up a quarrel but I'll resist you. I can buy hundred of it for you, what's toothpaste?" she said sacarstically

He looked at her for long "I see, you don't need to lose your wrapper, the evidence is showing already. You have mental disorder." he blurted out

She clapped her hands, Belinda is very good at quarreling "shame on you, you are such a foolish human I've ever seen. The woman, your wife is now a mad woman according to your confession. You called me a mad woman. Two of us will mad here forever " she said shaking

He hummed "just mad alone, I was wrong for correcting you. I wonder if you really went to school or school went through you. Even illiterate do take correction. No proper eating habits, you talk anyhow, dress anyhow. I wonder the connection between us to the extent I knelt down to put ring on your dirty fingers. " he got angry and walked out.

Belinda was touched by his words, she began to cry "I don't know this is how he would turn out, I wouldn't have accepted proposal. He's very unkind, I can't leave my marital home because of his attitude" she thought within her.

During the day Ray was watching sports when his wife came and changed the channel to movie channel without taking permission. "what the hell is wrong with you? Do you want to kill me or what? Why are you frustrating my life? " he asked her
She smiled and clapped her hands "you are funny! All those questions for me or who? " she asked in return
"can't you see I was watching sport program before you changed it? "
"is that why you said I'm frustrating you? Are you not the one frustrating me in this house?"

"I'm really tired of you, I don't have peace with the person I called wife"
"you caused it o, you opened your mouth to call me a mad woman not just mad o, but dirty woman. You have stepped on a lion's tail"
"you know what? Let's quit the marriage. You are not my type, I mean I can't live with you forever. Maybe I rushed without noticing the kind of person you are. Although you were there for me before but you've disappeared now" he said this time weirdly
She began to cry "you are an ungrateful kind of human, I remember where you were before we started, now that you have arrived, living big life. I'm now filthy, no problem at all " she said and walked out.

Anabel and Danny met at Phase 2 Motel as usual to chill. He noticed an unusual look on her face "hey baby,! What's wrong with you? " he asked but she refused to answer.

He moved close to her and cuddled her "common talk to me, is there anything I cannot do for you? Just tell me your problem I will look into it " he said
she stared at him for long, "my problem is you "

He was surprised "meeeeee? " he stressed
"yeah, you've been spinning me "
"but I've been doing what you want, I mean I made sure you are okay financially. What else? " he asked
"between your wife and I who is performing the real duty of a wife?"
"you of course "
"then why have you been keeping me secretly? "
He knew where she was driving at but that was a "no go area" despite Edith's stubborn attitude he still loves her.

"See Annabel, you are my mistress. I've given you a great position, you know I can't send my wife away because of my mistress. It will bring down my status and people who look up to me will disregard me. Just remain as my mistress and I promise you that the sky will not be your limit "

She still looked unsatisfied "please dear, consider that and respect my wife.... "
"hey just spear those words, then who am I to you, a prostitute right? " she interrupted him and threw the question
"my mistress of course "
"when you think about who I am to you let me know " she said and picked up her bag to leave but he grabbed her wrist.
"Annabel be my mistress, it's almost same as wife"
"then will you do whatever I ask you? " She asked
"yes I will"
" Give her a sack latter tomorrow, first thing. I mean Gift the secretary at production department "she said

It seems she wants to stab him. Gift is the best among all the staffs, she's always faithful and nice. Sacking her was like sharing his property. He was silent for a while "will you do that? " she asked bringing him back from his thoughts. "yes I will " he said.

She smiled and kissed him deeply while he responded eagerly.

The door bell rang, Edith ran so fast to open it, it was her husband. She smiled and hugged him "welcome dear " she said and collected his brief case.

Danny was very weak, he had a hectic day coupled with Anabel's stress. He looked at his beautiful wife, she's really charming and irresistible.

She dressed so special with seductive wears, He couldn't help but kept staring at her.

Episode 20

Danny was so happy when he saw how beautiful his wife looked, he ate the dinner enthusiastically. He ate gently and stared at her at every seconds just wondering the misery behind her beauty.

After the dinner he showered and joined her on the bed. She was so happy but upset when she thought about sex. She still don't want to do it.

The two were so fond of each other that night, they engaged in a deep kiss. Edith was so carried away but Danny was not in the mood, he was really stressed up. She had forgotten about the request he promised her earlier.

He kissed her. Soon he stopped and pleaded with her that during the weekend he is going to make love to her. She is the patient type so she accepted hoping during the week she would tell him about Anabel.

They slept peacefully like babies holding each other. Her mind was at rest, all thanks to her mother but she never knew she was taking things slow while Annabel was fast and smart.

It was morning already, she made hot tea for her husband. He was happy seeing how free his wife was and wondered who had changed her overnight. "get ready for work. It will soon be time " she teased him while he was making fun of her.

(Gift Pov)

I came to work very early, Annabel was at work already looking at me and smiling mischievously.

I thought of what was making her to smile but I couldn't figure it out, I walked to my office not minding her. I sat on my rocking chair bowing my head to pray when my phone rang, it was a message alert.

I exercised patience to finish praying before I check the message. After I finished praying Anabel entered my office this time laughing uncontrollably "what's the problem? " I asked in annoyance.
"Your boss asked me to call you and mind you don't you ever speak to me in such an annoying tone because I'm not your type " she said.

I was surprised at her, as I always act, silence is the best answer. I was quiet until she left my office then I went after her wondering why my boss want to see me and why he was at work so early.

I walked to his office, immediately he saw me he started smiling. I was happy to see him smiling so I smiled back "didn't you see the unusual alert? " he asked
"no sir" I answered
"alright take this to your office and read it, the alert is double of your salary " he said.

I thought it was a promotion later but when I went outside his office Anabel broke into another segment of laughter, this time I was uncomfortable and began to pray.

I got to my office and prayed before opening the letter. It reads :

Danny Benson
Managing Director

Tears dropped down from my eyes, no wonder she was laughing. I've been working in this company for 8yrs before Mr Benson handed over the company to his son. I've been promoted several times because of my hardworking towards the progress of the organization. I shouldn't be dismissed in such a way.

I thought of who has poisoned my boss' heart to be against me then I remember his wife, it might be her because of what I told he. I know my boss will not listen to the cheap slut he called PA but was I wrong for telling her the truth?

I was so confused and devastated, I never knew such would befall me so soon. The sack was like a slack cause it came as a bombshell.

Mrs Alex and her mother in-law were on their usual strolling when they experienced something unusual. Her mother in-law noticed reddish stain on her dress. "what is this? " she asked trying to check the stain.

Rose quickly turned her dress towards her to see what was that. She opened her mouth wide "it's blood, you have lost your baby" her mother in-law said.

Rose fell and fainted immediately hearing she had lost her baby. Her mother-in-law was helpless. She ran and called people who came to her aid. They helped her by taking her to the hospital.

Mr Alex rushed to the hospital on hearing about the state of his wife. He rushed to the doctor "Doctor! Doctor!! where is my wife " he asked
"calm down she will be fine, she is in the theater " he said and walked out.

Alex was crying already "calm down, you have to be a man for once. She is not going to die " his mum console him.

Soon the doctor arrived and asked them to go and see her.
