*I MUST SACK MY HOUSEMAID*
*PART FOUR*
*BY AYODELE ADEOYE*
Two years after our marriage, my husband was seduced by his secretary in
the office. They had an affair and he came home to confess to me by
himself. He wasn’t spiritually strong then like he’s now. When I listen to
his story and carried out my investigation I realized the whole episode was
not his fault except that he was weak will. She had succeeded in seducing
two other men in the same office including the director, my husband was her
third victim.
I guess I was careless not to do anything about it when my husband started
talking about how nice and beautiful his new secretary is. I deliberately
went to my husband’s office one day just to see this secretary he had
talked so much about. She is beautiful, fair in complexion, very curvy and
charming. When I saw her I lost my peace, the same feeling I am having with
Stella now. I felt intimidated seeing her around my husband because her
dressing that day too was a thread to any man around her. I didn’t talk to
her except for the greetings.
I went through a major surgery and I was on bed rest for closely three
months. This was the most regrettable time of my life. No wonder the Bible
says “when men slept the enemies came and sowed tares”. Of a truth, the
enemy sowed tares into my vineyard during this time. Because of my ailment
Chioma sowed tares of adultery into my marriage. This was the same time
Stella took grip of my kitchen. She filled in the gap for me, took care of
me, my husband and my house. Stella got closer to my husband this time than
ever. My husband saw the qualities that makes her better than me within
this time.
The seed of immorality sown by Chioma in my husband’s office and my
marriage caused us a lot. The company went on financial recess for almost
two years. My husband was not paid for like four months. When Chioma left
that company things got better, but a seed has already been sown. Chioma
made my husband to have a taste of another woman. She planted a seed of
lust in my husband. If I don’t do something fast, the seed will grow and
bear bitter fruits in my marriage. I see Stella as a fertile ground to grow
the seed planted by Chioma. I want to get rid of Stella so I can get my
husband back. Now that he’s lusting after Stella who lives under his roof,
he might fall for her someday. My husband is not strong will, he is yet to
fall obviously because Stella has not made any advances at him. I would not
fold my hands and allow affliction to rise the second time. Stella must
leave my house.
The condom I found in my husband’s briefcase was used the day they traveled
for a workshop. Everything was Chioma’s hand work. The codom has been there
for a long time but my husband was not aware. I didn’t discuss this with
anyone because no one will believe me. My husband is a gentleman, I am a
bit aggressive and loud. I also try to help him protect his name,
especially in the church. It was a mistake, so I decided to deal with it
between us. Thereafter I have not suspected him for anything until he
started lusting after Stella. My mum told me that if a man is lusting after
a woman, the only way he won’t fall is to stop seeing the woman. I think
this is the right time my husband stop seeing Stella.
Why should I keep a woman who is more beautiful than me in my house?
Why should I keep a woman who is stealing my husband’s attention away from
me gradually?
Should I continue to die in this fear?
Do you say I should leave a woman whom my husband is lusting after in my
house?
What if he carry out his threat?
What if Stella begin to find interest in my husband?
If she wants my husband, in a tinkle of an eye, she will have him.
I’m working on my character. But I learnt men get carried away by what they
see. My husband is already carried away my Stella’s beauty. I’m out to
redeem my husband back.
Should I pursue Stella from my house or I should keep her?
