Doctor Gideon’s Wife 💔
What will I tell this girl now?.
“My house?,. I thought we have discussed this before now. I told you that I hardly go home, I spent most of my nights in the hospital, to be honest with you, I can’t even remember the last time I stepped my foot into that house”. I lied, with all seriousness.
“It doesn’t matter, let’s just go there today. Like what kind of a relationship will I not know where my man lives?”.
“But you know where I work”. I answered back.
“Babe, please, this doesn’t call for this unnecessary argument. Take me home, it’s very simple”.
I bent my head on the steering, tiredly.
“Is there a problem?”. Came her voice and I hummed for a response.
We remained in that position for about five minutes before she got angry… really angry.
“Gideon, are you sure you’re not a ghost?, I mean why are we here?….because I asked to see where you live?”.
I raised my head to defend myself once again but she wouldn’t allow me speak.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to take me to your house, can you at least take me back to my own house, I have a home, remember?”.
I made one more attempt to explain somethings to her but she wasn’t going to listen to me.
At last I reversed and we headed back to her house.
No word was spoken until we reached the gate.
“Like seriously?, you brought me home?”. She broke the silence after I parked in front of the gate.
“But….” I tried to defend myself again but she shut me up.
“It’s fine”. She opened the door and stepped down.
On a good day, I would have driven her inside the compound and walked her into their living room before leaving, but I was scared that evening.
What if she reported me to her mom immediately and the woman insisted we go to my house?, how will I do that, where will I take them to?. I thought as I quickly reversed and sped off.
After I have had my dinner later that night, I retired to the room to talk with Gogoo, leaving Sandra and mother alone in the living room. I called her many times, she didn’t pick, I dropped a lot of messages for her, she wasn’t replying either.
Just then, the door opened and Sandra came into the room.
I hissed, lied down and faced the wall.
“Did you get any woman pregnant?”. That was her voice, hitting on me like a bullet.
I turned around sharply. She was standing with her hands on her waist.
“Where is that coming from?”. I asked in annoyance.
She sat down on the bed before replying.
“A lady came here this afternoon… one of those ladies you said were your ex. She said she is pregnant for you and you’re planning to get married to her”.
I sat up.
“Tricia was here?, how did she get here?, who gave her my new address?”. I was asking.
“You don’t expect me to answer that, do you?”.
Then, I remembered that my mom is around.
“Wait… wait.. wait. Where was mother the time she came?”. I asked.
“She didn’t come in, James didn’t let her to. He only called me out to come and see her, so we spoke outside the gate”.
“But you didn’t tell mother?”
She shook her head. I breathe down
“Now answer me. Did you really get her pregnant?”.
I looked at her with anger.
“So you have started listening to gossips, why will I ever do a thing like that?. I hissed.
… try to dey make use of your brain some times. Someone I introduced as my ex, coming here to tell you sh!t and you believed her?”. I hissed again.
“So, how did you know the particular lady, there were about five of them, that came to that house… how did you know the exact one that was here today?”.
“I’m convinced now that you don’t have sense, other women would have defended their husband but you believe every thing you hear about me, so far as it’s ev!l”. I stepped down from the bed, wore my slippers and headed out of the room.
My mother was still watching television. I picked my car keys and started going to the door.
“I hope you’re not going out again this night?”. She asked.
” No, just want to pick something from the car”. I replied, already opening the door.
I got into the car and put a call through to David. His phone rang severally but he wasn’t picking up. I waited for some minutes before I remembered it’s Friday night….they must be somewhere clubbing. I got down, walked to my security man and gave him serious warning.
“You see that lady that came here this afternoon, don’t let her anywhere into this house.. and not only that, don’t call anyone out to speak with her. Am I making sense to you?”
“Yes, sir”. He answered.
I went back inside.
By now, Sandra was back to the parlor, sitting close to my mom.
I just dropped back the key and went inside
Immediately I laid down the bed, my phone rang . I picked it instantly.
“Guy, where did you drop your phone?, I…” I was still talking before I was interrupted by a feminine voice.
“Doctor, come to the house tomorrow, we need to talk”. And the call ended.
I didn’t check the caller before picking because I was thinking David was the one calling back after seeing my numerous calls.I only did after the call ended and it turned out to be Mrs Williamson.
I sat up again… She doesn’t call me that … does it mean Gogoo has told her?….
“Obinna!”. That was my mother, calling from the living room.. I almost had a high blood pressure.
Did Sandra tell her anything?…
