© Ndukwe Ularinma
Four months later, Jenny was heavily pregnant but no one else knew except her and her mother. She had missed her husband and she had not heard rumors about him. She was glad he was alright and his business was doing well. She had learnt a lot from her mother during this four months, she stayed with her. How was Patty doing? She wondered. It was revealed to her that her new enemy was going to be Patty but why?
……..
Patty smiled as she wore the transparent nightie she bought at the boutique yesterday. She always went shopping and made new friends, she became popular among the single rich ladies. Her wears was mostly sexy and her make-up was over. She was becoming beautiful as she now use skin care products.
She knew he was going to be late from work and she waited in the parlour purposefully locking the doors and putting off the electricity. She had planned this and she was sure nothing was going to be wrong. She was going to give her first time to him and she didn’t feel bad about it, perhaps she might conceive the heir this night.
……..
Henry was exhausted and tired. Today was hectic and he had meetings to organize. He had succeeded in signing in with one of the hardest company in town. It was epic and it went well.
He knew Patty must be asleep but she won’t fail to keep dinner for him. He smiled at the thought and appreciated what she had done for him since Jenny left but the truth was Patty could never replace her.
He went through the lift and arrived at the parking lot. He entered and began driving home, he was really hungry and the food his assistant brought for him was not enough. For the past four months, he had found himself eating much compared to before. Patty was a good cook but not a better cook as his wife or ex-wife, he smiled. He gets sick in the morning and had problems waking up early. He had mood swings that always came but leaves when with someone. He was extra successful at work and he gave the thanks to God. He found out he was more successful now than when he was with Jenny.
……..
Margarita smiled as she saw Jenny sitting on the wooden chair outside the room. She knew what she was thinking about and felt sad. Her baby was a boy and she had strived to make the pregnancy less visible to people’s eye.
Jenny felt her stomach and muttered something. She felt bad and her mood had changed, something wrong was about to happen behind her back and she was not going to let it happen with her powers.
