30 Days in The Brothel Episode Four
That Sunday night when the pastor visited Kate at the brothel, she had asked him if her husband came to church. Secretly, Kate was missing her husband but she did not want to say it because already, she had made up her mind to punish her husband because she thought he was cheating on him. She was always lonely at the brothel, so it was always a delight whenever the pastor comes to visit her every night. The pastor used to buy her fruits and other goodies. Kate had changed her phone number and she was using the new phone number to communicate with the pastor on WhatsApp during afternoons. She tells him the things she wants before he would come visiting.
โSo you saw my husband in church today? What does he look like? Did he tell you anything? Did he say anything about me? Did he come to your office to see you privately for prayers concerning our marriage?โ Kate asked the pastor. She was eating some apples which were among the fruits the pastor brought for her. She was really enjoying it. She combined it with fried chicken and used some soft drinks to download the whole thing. Her stomach was now sounding โchoko choko chokoโ each time she shook her body.
โOf course, your husband was in church today. He did not come to my office. But something seemed off about the way he was sitting. I think he was not happy at all. He was not looking happy. It is like your absence is affecting him so much. He did not ask for prayers but I think the punishment you are giving to him is eating him up. The strategy you are using is working but I have one advice for you. It could make you a rich woman. It is not just enough to punish your husband if he cheats on you. There is another thing I would like to suggest to you. You will benefit a lot from it.โ The pastor said to Kate.
Even though the pastor heard the explanation given by Ndu, he still did not make it known to Kate so that she would go home and settle with her husband. The truth is that Ndu was not cheating on his wife. What he had explained to the pastor was true. He was massaging his motherโs arthritis legs and she was the one making noise in the room. Kate mistook her voice to that of another woman who had come to sleep with her husband. The pastor wants the truth to remain hidden so that he will keep enjoying with Kate at the brothel.
โSo what advice are you giving me? Iโm fully ready to implement it. I want to punish my husband to the fullest so that next time, he will not try to cheat on me. I want him to never look at another woman. When Iโm done with him, he will learn his lessons.โ Kate said to the pastor who positioned himself very well to speak.
โThatโs very good. Iโm happy you said you are ready to implement my recommendations. It will make you a lot of money. Let us call your husband and tell him you have been kidnapped. We can tell him you are in the kidnapperโs den and you will see how he will start running around to get money to pay them for ransom. From the way he was looking in church today, Iโm sure he will do anything possible to rescue you. If you tell him to pay N5 million, he will run around to look for it. I think he is missing you already but you need to teach him a lesson before going back.โ The pastor said.
โThat sounds like a good idea. I have been looking for more punishments for him. Thank you very much for the idea. Let me use my phone to call him.โ Kate said. She brought out her phone to dial her husbandโs phone number, but the pastor told her to wait.
โBring the phone.โ The pastor said. He collected the phone and changed the call settings. He made sure the phone number they were using to call Ndu was hidden.
โHe must not know that we are the ones calling him. I will be the one to talk. I will change my voice so that he will not recognize that Iโm the one. I will tell him to look for N5 million and bring to us as ransom.โ The pastor tells Kate. She agreed. They dialed the number and Ndu picked with speed. He used to pick every call these days with speed. He always wants to know if anyone has news about his wife.
โWe are the kidnappers and we have your wife. Your wife is safe and she will continue to be safe provided you do all we are going to tell you to do. The only time there will be problem is when you fail to follow our instructions.โ The pastor said over the phone. Even Kate was surprised the way he was able to change his voice to a deep and terrifying one.
โPlease, tell me where my wife is. I will do anything you say. How much do you want? Just tell me how much you want, I will look for it and bring to you. Please, if possible, I can bring it this night so that you will release my wife to me.โ Ndu said. Kate was surprised at how desperate her husband was sounding. It means he was really missing her.
โYou are to bring N5 million. You cannot come this night. You will come tomorrow. We will not accept bank transfer from you. You must bring the money in cash. Let me warn you; donโt even try to involve the police. If you involve the police, we will kill your wife. Donโt joke with us.โ The pastor said.
โPlease, you people should just give me 24 hours. I will come with the money. Tell me the address where I will bring the money so that I will write it down.โ Ndu said tearfully.
โWe cannot send you our address now. You will get it tomorrow. Expect our call. We will call you again in 24 hours. Make you sure keep the money ready.โ The pastor said.
โHave you been a kidnapper before? You are so good in this. Are sure you are a pastor?โ Kate asked the pastor.
โOf course, Iโm a pastor, but even a pastor needs money. We will make N5 million tomorrow.โ The pastor said.
