MY WEDDING NIGHT
EPISODE 15
“Who the heck is that?” a lady suddenly screamed from the bed, switching on the electric table lamp by her side, and revealing her face in the process.
She was no other person than Esther Hardey. The lady i came looking for.
I breathed deeply, drew back, locked the door and switched on the main lights of the room which equally revealed my face to the frightened lady.
“Oh shi.t, you?? You got to be kidding me” she instantly smiled on seeing my face, equally regaining all her composure as if she was sure i wouldn’t do anything to her. I quickly pulled out my gun from the jacket while she scoffed on seeing it.
“Oh please” she hissed, sat up on her bed, grabbed a stick of cigarette and lighted it.
“What the hell do you want?” she asked coldly.
“You have to tell me how you did it or i swear, i
will blow off your head right now. I didn’t come
all the way here to laugh with you” i threatened
seriously. Esther breathed deeply, stared at me
for some seconds before shrugging.
“fine, sit down you will have your story” she said
cautiously.
“Don’t worry about me, just talk” i pushed on
harshly.
“But why the f**k do you want to know how your
husband died?. Anyway here is your story. You
are still going down no matter what” she said
with a smile, reached for the bottle of strong
wine by her side, poured out a shot and gulped it all down.
“You Africans are very dumb. You are nothing but
an opportunist. You deserve whatever that is
coming to you” she breathed fiercely.
“do you know that I’ve been with Damian since
my childhood. We were together all through high
school and college. We were together till a silly
friend of his dragged him to Africa. Everything
changed from that moment, but i still waited and
hoped. Then what?” she stopped, shook her
head, sucked on her cigarette and blew out thick
clouds of smoke, equally studying me cautiously.
“I heard that a f*****g black like you has gotten
him completely off the hook. It was unbelievable.
I couldn’t take it. I swore to ruin everything” she
poured out while my hand trembled.
“I made plans with my cousin who agreed with
me in everything. We all joined Damian’s mother and her train. Together we came to Nigeria” she stopped and blew out more smoke from her mouth.
“Do you smoke?” she asked quietly.
“No just continue with the story?” i urged.
“We arrived Nigeria and i still tried my best to
stop him from marrying you but no he wouldn’t
listen.
So after the wedding when everyone was
carried away with excitement. I discreetly told
him to meet me at the garden by 12am. It was a long wait, but he finally showed up and i got him distracted while my cousin slit him up. It was a clean revenge, but the whole plan changed when we got to the room and saw you deeply asleep.
Instead of killing you, we decided to pin the
crime on you by getting your prints on the
murder weapon. Unfortunately your mother inlaw spoiled everything the next morning by pulling out the knife from her dead son’s body. Anyway you are still damned. I heard the case is being moved over to my country” she concluded with a laugh while a cold shiver ran down my spine.
That exact moment, somebody pushed on the
door leading to the room which i earlier locked,
drawing my attention and equally making me
take my eyes off Esther.
With that split opportunity, she pounced on me
like a tiger, knocked me down and opened the
room door. A white muscular guy walked in and
grinned at me.
“Oh what do we have here?” he asked with a cold
smile. I instantly knew he was the murderer. The idiot that murdered my husband.
