He had forgiven her indiscretions over the years
But this time, he just didn't have the mental strength to cope
He needed his peace of mind
He needed his sanity
He needed to face reality
Enough was Enough!
She claimed she was a student
He had no reason to disbelieve her
She dressed like a student
Went for classes like other students
Lived in the hostel with other students
Spoke like other students
Mingled with other students
He liked her the moment he met her
He was one of the few students who had the luxury of owning a car while in the university
The car was a gift from his father
It was a statement of class
Ladies paid him attention
She paid him attention
She was quite good at it
She protected her territory with all her might
Other ladies and perceived threats or competition were squashed
They lived for three years as a couple on campus
She was his wife
They graduated and got married!
His family already knew her
He got a job with a generator assembly company
She got a job at a bank
Her beauty got her the job
She was a born hustler
Men eagerly paid her attention
And do her bidding
It was an aura she had
An advantage over male hormones and natural inclinations
Some of the big fishes wouldn't do business until they slept with her
She was very pragmatic
Money was key for her
She didn't see her marital vows as anything but words
In fact, her job interview was sex with the Bank MD
She was so good at the double life
Like a charmeleon
She was everything to everyone
It was very difficult to think of her in such light
The first time he caught her
They had a child by this time
It was 1997
He returned from a trip
Her mother was with their ten month old baby
He decided to check her at her best friend's house
He got there and found her, the friend and another man doing a threesome
The man was a military man
He decided making a scene could cost him his life
He left
She said she was being blackmailed
She forged her university certificate
She was not really a student of Unilag
Someone helped her forge the certificate
The bank sent a letter to Unilag to verify her certificate
She got someone to
The someone started blackmailing her by collecting a 30% of her salary
She got a military man to deal with the person through her friend
The military man's price was too high
They had to augment it with sex
Her mother begged
It was between the three of them
He agreed
He insisted on a paternity test
The child was his
He forgave her
The marriage moved on
But men kept asking to taste her honey
And if the price was right she offered them a bite
This time she said it was because things were tight financially for the family and the man offered her a huge sum of money
He refused to have sex with her for several months after that
She begged and pleaded
She even swore by the waters from a prayer mountain
By this time they had given birth to three children
Months later
He fell ill and had to travel abroad
He spent 18 months in America battling Liver failure and getting a liver transplant
His wife was taking care of the children and sleeping with the highest bidder
She claimed it was because she was concerned for his health!
He eventually discovered she had been treating an STD! She even had a surgery and the doctor told her she must not have sex for some time
But he had always been faithful to her
He always told himself cheating on her would justify her infidelity!
The operation he did took a toll on their finances
A year after the surgery
He saw a message from someone who used to do business with him
He didn't understand it
After a few seconds the WhatsApp message was deleted
He thought it was a mistake
On December 1st 2019 he decided to go to the hotel and sit at the reception
His intention was to bump into the person and..
He needed the business badly and such a client could make it happen
He got there thirty minutes late
Sat at the reception
Sometime later his wife and the person emerged from a hotel room
He was shocked to the bone
He wanted to dodge
But it was too late
Both the client and his wife saw him
The next thing his wife did was hold the clients hand in a "calm down" gesture
They walked right past him to the client's car
He sat there as they drove away
He met her at home
She said "I have a standard i must keep and it has been dropping! Since you cannot keep us up financially for now, someone else might as well do so"
Wow!
He had trained three children through private universities!
They live in their own house
He took his time to consider his options
He called the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt
He said "I want to divorce my wife"
He tendered all his reasons
He said he didn't see any reason for the marriage to continue
He wept bitterly
She said "Let him be, he will get over it"
Two months later
The man travelled abroad with his children
He didn't tell her
A day after they left the new owner of their house arrived!
Her husband had sold all their properties!
She called all their relatives abroad
Nobody knew where he went
She got some money and rented a small apartment
She called the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt
She said "Please tell me where my husband is"
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt had no idea!
Sometime later his wife and
the person emerged from a
hotel room
He was shocked to the bone
It was the last thing he
expected to see
He wanted to dodge
But it was too late
Both the client and his
wife saw him
