Desmond arrived at Rachel house that night and met her on a nightie, “I rushed here as fast as I could, what’s wrong with you because you look fine” he said.
“I’m good I just wanted you to be with me that’s all” she replied.
“You mean you were not sick like you sounded on phone?” He asked and she nodded.
“But what’s the big deal there, please stay with me tonight please” she said holding his shirt.
“Look I told my wife you are sick and I left her…………”
“So what am I huh? I can’t be with you when I want to like am a stranger huh?” She asked.
“No not like that, he said.
“Then call her up and let her know you’ll be spending the night with me, I’m sure she’ll understand. I was about using the bathroom, care to join me?” She asked smiling while Desmond heaved and called Princess up.
After two rings she picked up, “erm I call to let you know i’ll be sleeping over here tonight, Desmond calmly said.
“Why are you telling me this? Bye,” Princess said and dropped the call on him cuddling herself on the bed with tears.
She called up Veronica immediately, “hello dear how you? Veronica asked.
“Sis I can imagine what you were going through now, I can’t take this anymore”, Princess said.
“Calm down and tell me what the problem is, Veronica said.
“My husband isn’t with me now, he left me to go spend the night in her house, is this how my life will be?” Princess asked.
“Oh dear please calm down and take it easy, Veronica said.
“But this isn’t fair, God isn’t fair in fact nothing is fair at all and I give up” Princess shouted.
“why are you saying this Princess? You are a strong lady and I am not happy seeing you broken down like this, reject that spirit coming on you and know you will sail through this as well. I thought you were praying, are you now loosing faith?” Veronica asked but Princess was only crying.
“Baby girl I know you can do this, remember you do tell me this too forgetting you have your own issues to face yet you were thinking about mine. I’ll pray for you and God will see you through this okay, please be strong” Veronica said.
“Thank you thank you sis, I’ll see you tomorrow goodnight, Princess said and dropped the call then called the pastor.

The next day Debbie saw Cynthia and went to her seeing the way Cynthia was avoiding her, “good morning, what’s the problem are we fighting?” Debbie asked pretending.
“Hmm not at all, she replied.
“But I don’t get your attitude anymore, anyway I came to say thank you for what you did for me that day” Debbie said.
“Its nothing as long as you’re okay, she replied.
“Yea thank you, Prisca refunded your money back right?” Debbie asked and she nodded.
“Yea she did, she replied.
“OK thats nice, bye, Debbie said smiling and left while Cynthia was still scared thinking she’s not yet properly healed.
Debbie went in and saw her mom arranging the small bag she came down with, “where are you going to?” Debbie asked.
“Going home, I can see you are healed and fine I have to go home so I won’t inconvenience you and prisca”, she replied.
“So you are going just like that? Or did Prisca complain to you?” Debbie asked.
“Debbie i think I’ve lost my place as a mother in your life and I accept it with good fate. I was never perfect myself and I did made a lot of mistakes, while I was carrying you I was angry with you, angry you refused coming out despite all i drank to flush you out. But when i gave birth to you, I felt a new life and beginning came to me. I was determined to love and take care of you till the end, I didn’t mind anything else but you because I saw you as an avenue to wipe my tears and correct my wrong. But its a shame that my past is still haunting me even when I’ve turned a new leaf, but I’m praying for you my child you won’t go into the face of harm. There’s still chance to stop this so you won’t put me in my early grave because I’ll die if anything happens to you”, Sandra said in tears.
“What are you saying mommy? Don’t worry mommy I will take care of you, don’t mind the way I am behaving, you know very well I love you so much. Soon you’ll be very proud of me I promise you okay, don’t be afraid” Debbie said holding her.
“Please I’m begging you, Sandra said..

Desmond car drove in and Princess looked through the window to see him cross his hand on the lady waist as they walked together.
She folded her hand looking at them as they walked in, “hi how was your night? Sorry he was with me yesterday night and the night was so good”, Rachel said smiling but Princess was quiet looking at them.
“I’m sorry I should have let you know but I couldn’t leave her that night, her temperature was Indeed high”, Desmond came in but Princess slowly Left.
“Is this how she’s going to behave with me here? What’s all this?” Rachel asked.
“Its okay I’ll talk to her” , Desmond said.
“There’s no need for that, I’ll be staying here for a week and its starting from nowx, Rachel said.
“What! You didn’t tell me about this” Desmond said.
“Must I tell you? She need to get used to me so I am helping her out”, She replied.
“She must know about this first and approve it, you can’t come in like that” Desmond said and she scoffed.
“Excuse me, are you talking to a stranger here?” Rachel asked.
“No you don’t get me………
“Of course I do, is she the one telling you everything you should do huh? Then I don’t think you need me, I’m leaving”, Rachel said.
“What are you saying? You should understand she’s my wife. Okay fine I’ll talk to her today, tomorrow you can move in okay”, Desmond said holding her.
“Your attitude sometimes makes me feel bad, why do you keep reminding me you have a wife, am I then your mistress?” Rachel asked.
“You’re getting me wrong, tomorrow you can move in alright, baby understand with me please don’t make things more difficult for me” Desmond said kissing her and Princess saw them which a tear dropped in her eyes and she quickly left for her room.

Matthew met Veronica sitting sad and slowly sat beside her, “what’s troubling you? Care to share please?” He asked but she was quiet.
He sighed and held her hand, “I remember I’m always the first person you do tell your problems to, I don’t know if those times are gone but i sincerely miss them”, Matthew said.
“Its good you know its gone and I don’t know if anything can bring it back again” She replied..
“I believe we can still do this love, for the sake of our kids. I’m sorry believe me i am” Matthew said going on his knees.
“That’s not necessary, I’m just thinking about my friend that’s all. I feel lucky having her as a friend that despite her marriage was shaking, she was interested in mine. She was more concerned about mine forgetting hers, now I feel so useless i can’t help her when she needs help”, Veronica said.
“You mean princess? What’s wrong with her?” He asked.
“Her husband is taking another wife, I know my friend and the thought of another woman sharing her man is what she can’t bear, I clearly understand her because I’ve been in that shoe”, Veronica said and Matthew bowed his head.
“Excuse me, she said and left.
………………
Debbie visited Gideon and found him kind of sick, “why didn’t you tell me you’re not feeling too well?” She asked.
“You are not strong yourself and I didn’t want to bother you” he replied.
“I thought we are friends? And what should friends do?” She asked.
“I’m sorry okay and thanks for coming, I was just thinking about you”, he said.
“Really? She asked smiling and he nodded.
“I’ll get you something to eat then, she said and wanted to leave but he held her hand stopping her.
“Tell me about your boyfriend”, he said and she rolled her eyes.
“I’m single, what were you thinking? She asked.
“Seriously single? He asked.
“Yes I am single, but why are you asking?” She asked.
“Because I’m interested, he said and her eyes lit up.
“Interested in me you mean?” She asked and he stood up still holding her hand.
“If I say you should marry me will you say yes?” He asked and she gasped.
“This can’t be possible, I mean you barely know me”, she said.
“Does it matter? Look i can know a Lady for years but won’t still know all about her and its not an assurance that our relationship will reach its height. I just love you Debbie, you’re straight forward and bold and I love that, so tell me will you say no? Or are you thinking of what your mother will say about us?” He asked and she shook her head.
“I can handle my mom but I’m not sure you mean what you are saying now, its still hard to believe”, she said and he Kissed her.
“Do you believe me now? Will you marry me?” He asked again looking into her eyes.
“Yes yes, she said and hugged him.

That evening Debbie took him home to meet Prisca, “I’m engaged to him, she happily said showing her the ring and Prisca smiled.
“You can’t be serious right?” She asked.
“We are, and we’ll be getting married as soon as possible” Gideon replied.
“Who the hell are you and what prank is this?” Prisca asked.
“Enough okay! You should be grateful am informing you about this, with this jealousy and hatred in your heart i am getting scared of inviting you to my wedding. We will be getting married and my mom will be informed about this tomorrow, deal with it. Honey let’s get out of here”, Debbie said holding Gideon hand and left with him while Prisca heaved not believing her ears…
