MY WIFE, MY NEMESIS
CHAPTER 4
I was already in a foul mood as I approached my house. I dreaded what I’d definitely face in the house and sighed heavily before alighting from my car.I stepped into my living room and met my mom with my wife seated side by side on a sofa, conversing and smiling happily at each other. They both looked up and saw me when the
“Mom, you didn’t tell me you’d be coming to my house. What’s happening?” I asked my mom with surprise.
“You think I still need to call you before coming to your house when I know your wife will definitely be at home, c’mon, I’ve only come to gist with my beautiful wife. You can’t have this wonderful woman all to yourself.” My mom replied me, all smiles. She was definitely smitten by Blessing, and I wondered what that twisted b.i.t.c.h had done to my mom. I forced a smile at my wife.
“Oh, sweetie, how did you wriggle your way into my mom’s heart? You really have a knack for manipulating people with your sweet personality, don’t you? Sweetie, I hope you won’t destroy my mom’s life just like you did to me? I mean..you’ve destroyed my heart with your love, there’s no space for any other person.” I said and laughed out loudly, I knew she got the subtle shade. She laughed, my mom laughed too. I laughed again.
“Of course not, honey! You’re the one I was sent to deal with. You’re only one in your family that I want to tear apart and render helpless…with my love, I mean. I want to finish you off with my love.” She replied me and laughed. I got her drift so I laughed too, my mom laughed as well.
“You guys are just too cute. Your cuteness is making me miss my husband so much. I’m so pleased that my son finally found his missing ribs.” My mom chipped in and we all laughed again.
“You heard that, right? I’m your missing ribs, you’re such a lucky man. You shouldn’t ever let go of me.” Blessing said sweetly to me. I chuckled.
“Oh yeah, I’ve always known that it’s only death that can do us apart, and that’s what I’m desperately working towards…your death, I mean, I can’t let you die.” I replied her and stared at her intensely so she’d fully grasp the meaning of my words and be fearful but that audacious woman laughed loudly instead, I chuckled dryly.
“Hun, see lovebirds! I’m very pleased to be seeing this sweet display of love between you guys. God has joined you guys together perfectly, no man shall put asunder. You will forever be happy together. No e.v.i.l eye shall see you by the grace of God.” My mom prayed happily. Blessing said a loud amen, all smiles. I was irritated. I didn’t understand how she could smile so easily and effortlessly.
There, I decided I could utilize the opportunity to get rid of her without raising suspicion and I sprung into action.
“Mom, let me go and change, then, I will bring an exotic wine I bought from Italy for us all to enjoy before you go home.” I announced and my mom was excited. I went inside my room, quickly take a shower and change into comfy clothes.
I took out the most expensive wine in my collection and three glass cups. I sprinkled the colorless liquid po.i.son, I’d purchased since, into one of the cups and took them to the living room.
“Oh, the wine really looks exotic. How expensive is it, Honey?” Blessing complimented and smiled softly.
“Sweetie, it’s very expensive. I got it for an amount you definitely haven’t ever touched before in your life. That’s why I’m very pleased to serve it to you, my love. I’m glad I was able to save it till this special day. Today is such a special day, I’m very elated.” I announced and we all laughed. I poured out the wine into three cups and handed the one i’ve added the p.o.i.son to, to my wife immediately. I gave my mom hers and took mine as well.
“Let’s cheer to togetherness forever…” My mom declared and we were about to respond when my phone buzzed in my pocket.
As a business oriented man, I didn’t like missing any call so I dropped my glass cup immediately and stood up to go receive the call after excusing myself. I returned shortly and I was glad to see everything in order. My mom and wife were still holding their glasses while they awaited my return. I took my glass from the center table and we cheered. We all gulped down the wine deliciously.
As I drank my wine, I peered at my wife from the corner of my eye and I was pleased to see her gulping down the drink. I smirked. My plan worked.
