The bridegroom - Season 1 - Episode 23

CAROLINE : look who we have here! Mr Ambrose! Come in. Where is your jacket, you are freezing!

MR AMBROSE: (shivering) I forgot to bring one. Can I have a very hot cup of coffee, please!
CAROLINE: sure! But how could you forget your jacket, Mr Ambrose. It is February! The heart of winter!

MR AMBROSE: when you are desperate, you don’t think right.

CAROLINE: what are you desperate for?
MR AMBROSE: my wife, Caroline. I learnt she is in London

CAROLINE: you learnt? What’s going on?
MR AMBROSE: long story. Please where is your husband?

CAROLINE: he went to get some milk down the road. He will be here in no time.
MR AMBROSE: so my wife is not here?
CAROLINE: no. Not at all. Usually when she comes to London, she tells us so I am surprised you said she is in the country . Anyways, sometimes she prefers to stay at Krista’s house because she lives close to Walthamstow market. Chioma likes shopping.
MR AMBROSE: so Krista lives in Walthamstow?
CAROLINE: used to. But she recently moved to Luton.

MR AMBROSE: your husband must take me there right now. I need to go back home with my wife

CAROLINE: how long have you been looking for her? I’m asking because yesterday she posted a picture of her and Judith on instagram. It was a selfie but her face was really swollen….

MR AMBROSE: what??? Who is Judith and where does she live?
CAROLINE: Judith is our class mate. She lives in Abuja. Why was her face swollen??
MR AMBROSE: she is 8 months pregnant! Your husband must take me to Luton first let me confirm.

It might be an old photo.
Chioma’s mum told me she is here in London!

CHARLOTTE: You sent for me?
MR ADRIAN: take a seat, Please
CHARLOTTE: I don’t want to sit down
MR ADRIAN: I used to be your perfect gentleman. I used to treat women like queens. Opening doors for them, holding their hands and Oh! I was faithful to a fault!
CHARLOTTE: why do you think I care?
MR ADRIAN: shut up and listen!?

Every woman wanted to go out with me and of course the money was there and I had the looks too!

These bald head you see now used to be as thick as a forest. I was the dream of every woman..

CHARLOTTE: I still don’t understand why you think I give a hoot about your history.
What does it have to do with the fact that you slept with my friend even when we are supposed to be dating!

MR ADRIAN: oh it has everything to do with It! Again, you need to shut the f**k up and listen to me!!

When you see a seemingly bad person, ask yourself what could have made them bad. None of us was born bad.

We were once angels.

That drug addict you see on the street has a story, that girl who snaps at the slightest provocation has a story.
that bully has a story
the woman beater also has a story.

But the world don’t f**king care!

The justice system is just out there to punish!
You judgemental b*tches just want to judge!
CHARLOTTE: I’m not gonna have you call me names, sir!

Cut to the chase and let me carry on with my job!

MR ADRIAN:? I was only 15. I was your definition of a sweet boy. I did everything I was told to do. I didn’t have what other boys my age had but I never complained. I went hungry, not just of food but of love and affection…

CHARLOTTE: hian! Oh! This beating about the bush is getting so boring!??️
MR ADRIAN: my mother left my dad when I was 15 and got into a l£sb!an relationship.

The daughter of a b*tch she was cohabiting with, was the devil’s personal assistant.
More than a hundred times she molested me?
She made me do unimaginable things at my age. She was a masochist.

She would torture me while she sexually molested me.

She threatened to kill me if I ever tell my mum or anyone else.

I hated to look at my genitals because they were constantly bruised and sore. Passing water was like passing through the valley of the shadow of death.

CHARLOTTE: awwww! She must be evil
MR ADRIAN: so are You! So is every woman who walks the face of the earth!
Fortunately, my then tutor found out when she saw the marks on my back in the changing room as we got ready for sports in school.

She took me to her office and asked me where I got the bruises from.

I broke down in tears but she assured me of a better life….

I told her everything and right there and then she rang the police and that daughter of Jezebel was arrested. And so was my mother…

CHARLOTTE: hmmmmmn!
