UNLUCKY FOUR 🍓

Chapter Eight ❣️

Abigail’s POV 💄

“I can’t believe you’ll accept another woman in your own matrimonial home..I don’t think that was wise..in any way..”Jessie says totally angry..I came to visit Jessie since there isn’t much to do at the shop today and my friends are against my actions for letting Olamma stay..what can I say..I don’t want to hurt the poor baby..

“Hmm..it will be over soon..dear..and I pray the child isn’t Arnold’s..that’s just my prayer..so how have you been?”I asked..

“Just work..work..and Jide stalking me everywhere..”Jessie says smiling..I know my friends well and the one I know more is jessica..she may act all strong but I know she still feels something for Jide..

“So when are you going to forgive him.. because you cannot fool me..I know you’re still into that man..”I say..

“Hmm..I don’t know what to do..Abby..and you’re right..I’m in love with him..I can’t deny that I still have feelings for him..it’s just I don’t know if I’ll be making the right decision in getting back together..”

“Hmm..well just do what your heart wants..I’ll tell you.. Jide would never come back to you..If he doesn’t love you my friend..in life everyone deserves a second chance.. where’s nao?”I asked as I heard a knock on the door..

Just then Naomi walks in..speak of the devil and here she is..

“Hey girlfriends..”Naomi says joining I and Jessie on the sofa..

“Hello..nao..how are you..?”I asked..

“I’m good..”she says with a huge smile..

“With the looks of it..lunch went pretty well..how was he..did you guys make out..what happened..tell me..”Jessie asks..

“Oh come on..who makes out with a stranger and even though I did..I’m not telling you..you tricked me and left me all by my self with that man..”Naomi says .

“Hey..guys..you re forgetting I’m here..what’s going on..with you two..?”I asked wanting to know the main reason for this conversations….

Olamma’s POV

“Emek..a..what are you doing here..how come did you even know this place?”I asked standing at the entrance of my new house..yes.. I need to start claiming what’s rightfully mine because soon I’ll be the wife of Mr Arnold..I don’t get what this fool is doing here..Arnold would be home anytime soon and he can’t find emeka here…

“You can say that again..I’ll ask you wetin you dey do for this place..Olamma.. how dare you..do this to me..?”Emeka asked..But I try to act like I don’t know what he’s talking about .

“What do you mean..I don’t get you and I’ll ask that you leave my house immediately..before my husband shows up here..and throw you out like the piece of garbage that you are..”I insulted..I know I shouldn’t be saying all these nonsense to emeka but I can’t bear it..Emeka is the real father of the baby in me..yes..but he’s poor and he can’t offer me anything..he hasn’t taken care of himself let alone catering for me and my baby..I never had feelings for emeka..it was just a one night stand with the idiot and boom am pregnant..though the pregnancy is a good thing..at least I find a prey to put it on..

“Are you doing this because of money..ugh..how much did they pay you to do this Olamma..?”Emeka asked..

“That’s none of your business..I’m pregnant and the Father of my child is Arnold..”i defend…

“That’s a big lie..and you know it..I am the owner of that child..so stop with the lies.. already..”

“Emeka..emeka..you have to leave this place..I know this may be difficult for you but it’s the truth..this child is for Arnold’s..just accept the truth and leave..”

“You never change..your love for money makes you do unspeakable things and very soon..everyone would find out about this..”Emeka threatens..

“Don’t you even think of opening your mouth..and telling anyone about this..be careful.. because I’m not thesame village Olamma you used to know..I’m changed..and yes..this baby is yours..but i can’t give it to you..”

“Why..because of the money..Olamma..I..I love..you..I can take care of you.. I’ll work hard and find a good job..I’ll make sure everything is okay with all of us..we can be a one big happy family..please stop all these..and come back to where you belong..”Emeka says moving more closer as he leaned into kiss me..I pushed him immediately attacking him with a huge slap..

“Never in your miserable life..try that next time..listen to yourself emeka..we will be a one big happy family..happy family my foot..I don’t want any of that.. Arnold isn’t a struggler..he lives a comfortable life..just take a look at what I’m wearing..you won’t be able to even afford one..you incapable of being the kind of man I want..now get lost and don’t you ever show your face again..get out..”I yelled at him as I slammed the door on his face..what an idiot..how dare he…??ugh..!!

Angel’s POV

“Why did you do it..why..”Frank asked me the minute he sighted me in the visiting room..

I testified against frank..I put my own husband in prison..and I don’t regret it..that’s what he gets for acting very foolish..all because of jealousy..The trial luckily was on my favour and the judge sentenced Frank 10 years imprisonment for trying to murder Mark..it’s so painful to see Frank go through this..I won’t lie that it hurts..have been married to this man for years..now..I never knew I married a monster..

“Frank..you tried to kill my friend..you were one close to becoming a murderer..and I don’t and will never be an accomplice to your evil doings”

“Just accept the fact that you did it just so you can be with that bastard..this was your plans all along..to keep me locked up so you can go around flirting with all the men..”

“Here we go again..I see two months in prison still hasn’t changed you..ten years frank..get ready to face the consequences of your actions..and yes..frank you’re right..do you possibly think I’ll wait for you to get out of jail and be together again..God forbid… everything we ever had ends here.. tomorrow I’ll be bringing a divorce paper and I’m setting my self free from you..”

“So you can go be with your new lover..right?”

I laughed a bit before replying him..

“Jealousy.. that was what led you here in the first place and you don’t seem to change..I hope you rot in here forever..See you never..”I say flinging the wedding rings from my hands as I threw it on the table..Just then the guards came to take Frank… surprisingly frank puts his ego aside pleading for me to help him but it was already too late… I watched him begging for forgiveness as the guards handcuffed him taking him away from the visitor’s room…Oh God..I’m free..at last..justice has prevailed..

Abigail’s POV

As soon as I arrived home..I sighted Arnold’s car so that simply means he is around..I got home later than I expected.. thankfully I already prepared soup for my husband earlier this morning..so I’ll just only make swallow for him to eat..

I unlock the door with my keys and went straight to the living room..taking off my shoes and putting my purse on the sofa…

“Honey..I’m back..”I say walking towards the dining room..Arnold is busy licking his hands like he just finished eating..

“My love..how are you..?”Arnold says smiling..

“Fine..I see you ve settled yourself..but that isn’t my soup..”I say looking at the plate..

“Oh..Olamma prepared something delicious for me..i think you should try..it..”Arnold says..as I take my sit..surprised..

There’s no problem in Olamma cooking..but for my husband..I don’t like it one bit..but I’ll just have to accept it since she was just helping me..

Just then Olamma interrupted..

“Abigail..welcome.. should I serve yours for you..?”

“No…don’t worry..I’m okay..”I say going upstairs to where my room was..

Not quite long showering when Arnold walks in..he sits on the bed next to me..

“babe..what’s it..you’re acting all weird..”Arnold asks..

“Nothing..I’m fine..”I lied..

“No..I know you’re not okay..are you upset because I ate without you..?”He asked..

“No..no..my love..it’s fine..I’m okay.. I’m just very tired..”I answered as I pecked him on the head before laying on the bed..

The Following Morning 🌅

Abigail’s POV

I woke up around 7 in the morning..since Arnold’s going to work by 9am I decided to wake up late today..

Surprisingly..Arnold isn’t on the bed..he is always sleep much longer anytime he isn’t going to work early..maybe he is in the bathroom..I thought but I was wrong..I didn’t see him there so I went downstairs..

Where could he be..?I walked straight to the dining area and there he was eating sliced bread and fried eggs..

“My love..you should have woken up..you really do not have to stress yourself this much..it’s my duty to prepare something for you before work..”I say adjusting his tie..on his shirt..

“I didn’t do anything.. it’s all thanks to Olamma..she woked up earlier and made breakfast..”Arnold says enjoying his meal

“Olamma..but..”I paused a bit before Arnold interrupts..

“What..what is wrong?”Arnold asked .

“No..nothing..it’s fine..enjoy your meal..”

Immediately Arnold finished eating..Olamma joined us at the dining room..I didn’t eat anything because I haven’t showered yet..I did not like the way she hugged my husband good bye like she’s is wife and I’ll make sure I let her know her place in this house..until she gives birth..she’s nothing to my husband..

After Arnold left..I called Olamma..to my room..

“Abigail..hope there’s no problem..”Olamma says..

“There’s no problem..I just want to tell you..you don’t have to stress yourself in making dishes for my husband..thats why I’m here..to cook for him..I appreciate you but please just leave it all to me…”I say..as she just laughed at me as if I were a clown..

“Is that all..?”Olamma asked..

“Yes..”

“Hmm..let me tell you something..better get used to seeing my face because I’m not letting your husband go anytime soon..he impregnated me..so he is going to take responsibility for his actions..and you don’t get to tell me what to do.. because now he isn’t only your husband..he is our husband..”I shake my head trying to calm down..if not for she’s pregnant I would have slapped the living day light of her but I tried my best to control my anger..

“Olamma..the only wife here is me..Arnold is my husband..mine alone..so if you want peace in this house.. stay your lane..”I say..

Olamma just hissed and left as I begin to think..I shouldn’t have let her stay here in the first place..well have warned her..if she doesn’t listens that means all she wants is more trouble..

🍒TWO WEEKS LATER 🌺

Abigail’s POV

It’s been two weeks of back to back quarrel in my house..Olamma has caused different kinds of scenes in the house..she acts like she’s married to my husband and the worse part of it all is Arnold not believing me.. One day she tried to slap me..the minute I almost retaliated she started crying..Arnold interrupted and put all the blames on me.

My husband has changed these two weeks..If I get back home..he has already eaten..he doesn’t eat my food again..and he always supports Olamma now more than me.. Everything is becoming frustrating and I just wish she gives birth quickly..He even avoids to have s*x with me to the point he told me there’s no need having s*x because there won’t be a result.. Arnold already accepted the fact that I’m a barren woman..but I refused to believe it..I’m a woman of faith..and I know my Lord isn’t going to disappoint me..

I spent most of my days at my boutique and sometimes I go to weekly services..I stopped seeing some of my friends..I need to focus on my life from now and all my girls understand the reason..behind my new character..I try as much as I can to avoid olamma’s ranting but she always finds one way or the other to get on my nerves..

Naomi’s POV 🍒

“Good afternoon…ma..”I greeted the school head mistress..she was standing at the gate of the school..it’s closing hours and I’m here to pick up Ana.

These past few weeks has been really stressful and busy for me..so I don’t really have enough time to pick up Ana..sometimes Nicolas helps me to pick her up..yes Nicolas and I have been very close these past weeks and it’s only work related.. Although he made the first step in asking me out but I told him I haven’t finalized my divorce yet and that after my divorce..I might consider his advances towards me..

“Mrs Naomi..how are you doing..?”She asked.

“I’m very fine..thank you ma..I want to go in a pick my daughter ana..”I say thinking the headmistress would create space for me to enter inside..

“Ana.. ana isn’t here..school has closed..since.. there are no children in here..”The head mistress says and my heart skipped a bit immediately..what..??

“Wait..ana isn’t here..but how.. please are you aware of whom might have taken her?’

“Your husband..came to pick her up earlier this afternoon..”The headmistress says..

“Oh..okay..”I say not wanting to buttress on the matter anymore.. what’s wrong with nelson..I know he wants to spend time with his daughter but he should have called me first before going to pick her up..i know he is doing all these so I come back to the house but that won’t work…

I take a cab straight to my ex house..I greeted the gateman before making my way into the main living room..

“Mummy’s here..”I heard a sweet familiar voice says..as Ana runs up to me..I spread my hands giving her a big hug..

“My beauty…how are you..?”I asked..

“I’m good..”

I noticed a stain of stew on her lips and out of curiosity I asked her..

“What’s that..on your lips..?”

“It’s daddy..he made chicken stew and it’s really delicious..I think you should try it..”

“Yes Naomi..you should listen to our daughter..”I heard nelson say as he walked to where I and ana were standing..

“What kind of games are you playing now..this isn’t funny..”I say..

“Naomi..let’s not fight for today..please..I only want to spend family with my daughter and you..”He says..

“Family?? we’re not a family again..I already signed the divorce papers and I’m tired of you delaying to sign yours..”I say..loosing my patience..

“I cant..”Nelson finally say after minutes of silence..

“Why..is that..?”I asked..

“Because I don’t want to..Naomi..please think of everything we ve been through together..please forgive me and let’s go back to the way we were..”Nelson says..but I do not believe him..

“That is never going to happen.. sign the papers now..what we had is over..”I say with lot of courage.

“Just like that..please I beg you..for the sake of our daughter..let’s fix things back..and I promise you can work now and do anything you want but please don’t leave me alone..please I beg you..”Nelson says almost kneeling down..

“Yeah sure..you begging me because you think I’ll forgive you..but guess what nelson..I can’t..you failed to be the man I wanted you to be..you messed up big time..you betrayed me and treated me like nothing.. there’s no space in my heart to forgive you..you can come visit ana when ever you want but don’t expect us to continue with this marriage and pretend like nothing ever happened..my lawyer will be here tomorrow..for the last time..sign the papers..let’s go..ana..”I say..

“Please I beg you..please just give me one last chance..”

“I’m sorry..but I just can’t..I found someone who’s worthy of my love and I’m ready to start a new life..you should do the same..excuse me..”I say carrying ana who looks just as sad as her father and we exited..

I don’t really care whether Nelson is being sincere..I want nothing to do with him..anymore..it’s time to look at the bright side of life..and enjoy life while it lasts…

Jessica’s POV

I went to work very late today..I don’t have much to do so I came late.. around evening..The minute I stepped out of my car the front of offices there were flowers lined up there..I didn’t take any of it personal..till I entered the main building..everywhere was filled with flowers..I was surprised and some of my workers were smiling at me.. some were murmuring..I didn’t know what was going on until I entered my Office..roses bouquet everywhere..in my office..what’s the meaning of this..who turned my office into a farm land..

“Olivia… Olivia..”I called out the secretary on duty today..in a very angry way..

“Yes ma..”She rushed into my office..

“What’s the meaning of all these..why are they flowers everywhere..?”I asked..

“Uhmm..ma..it’s Mr Jide’s handwork..ma..I told him not to do it but he didn’t listen to me..I’m very sorry ma..he even said I should give you this..”Olivia says giving me a big gift box..

This is insane….

“What’s this..?’I opened the gift box and I find a big teddy 🐻 bear inside of it..it’s white and pink my favorite colors..I chuckled slightly before going through the box..I tell oliva to excuse me as I closed the door as soon as she left..

In the box..was my ring.. the wedding ring..why is Jide doing this to me..?

The last thing was a letter..and it says..

“i know I have wronged you in some many ways..I have hurt you time and time again.. I was stupid then..I didn’t realize the value of having a woman like you in my life..I’m not asking you to take me back because I know you won’t..even though you don’t believe it..I still love you..I’m so very much in love with you..but I guess it’s too late now..all I ask is that you forgive me.. please accept my apologies..you will always remain in my heart..I love you..Jessie..by your only true love..Jide”

I sighed after reading the letter and that’s when I realize I still I’m in love with jide and there’s no need in pushing him away..I think he already learnt his lessons..I tried as much to put my feelings for him aside..I try not to think about him..I fought against my feelings for him but nothing changed..I love him..I love Jide and there’s nothing that can stop it..I’ll just have to get back together with him..but in the right way…I couldn’t stop my self from calling..him..it’s just as if he was expecting my call.. immediately, I almost dialed his number before phone started ringing and it’s Jide……

SIX

MONTHS

LATER🍓

(Mercy’s Hospital)

Arnold’s POV

I was pacing back and forth waiting for the doctor’s report..Olamma is about to put to bed..finally we were going to know the truth about all these..

These past few months hasn’t been good between I and my wife..And it’s all her fault..she keeps on starting a quarrel with Olamma even though she knows Olamma is pregnant..Since all these days we hardly engage in any form of conversation..though we had s*x multiple times..but after s*x..I and Abigail acts like we are stranger’s to eachother.

“My son..calm down..”Mama says.

My mother came to Lagos the minute she heard Olamma was about to go into labor..and I really appreciate her for always standing by me through my difficult times..

Abigail’s POV 🌺

I stayed back at home hoping to receive good news soon..Olamma is about to put to bed and I can’t wait to finally know who owns this child..

My marraige hasn’t been at rest since these past few months..I and Arnold have drifted apart and I get that he is only doing this to me because I don’t have anything to offer..I’m just a barren mother less woman..I get it but it hurts..and that’s why I decided to stay home..if I go to the hospital..I’ll be like a shadow..Arnold won’t even speak to me..and mama will indirectly insults me..so there’s no way I’m going there….

Mama’s POV

Olamma told me everything about her relationship with Emeka and I understand her..all I want is to have a grand child..the doctor just declared that Olamma has given birth to a baby boy..and I’m so glad.. Arnold is so happy and it’s not going to last long if he finds out that child isn’t his..I have to do something..I knocked at the door of the doctor..twice before hearing him say I should come in..

Immediately I placed a cheque of twenty million naira on his table..and he smiles..

“You know what to do..I need you to bring a fake result saying my son is the owner of that child..”I say..

“But..it isn’t that easy..”The doctor objected..

“Do it..and your life will change..don’t worry no one would find out..”I assured him..

“You’re going too far ma..this isn’t allowed..I can’t accept this bribery..”

“Come on..don’t be a coward..it’s just an ordinary paper..just make everyone think the child is for my son period..I’m not asking you to kill someone here..If you want..I can double the money for you..what do you say?……

Naomi is moving on…

Jessie is finally forgiving her lover…

Angel is free….

Will the bad luck ever end on Abigail’s life or is there more to come?

Stay tuned for the quarter finale of THE UNLUCKY FOUR 🍓😍
