The Co wife - Season 1 - Episode 8

☆☆☆☆

JOYCE’S POINT OF VIEW.
All my life, I had been a submissive wife to my husband. I respected him as the father of my kids.

When he insisted that I stay at home to take care of the kids, I was cool with that because he was a good provider.

I had lived a luxurious life ever since we got married.

Everything was falling into place until he brought Jeff, his long time friend to be driving the kids and I around whenever James was busy.

Jeff was a charming guy.

I liked him when I saw him and before we could even know what was happening, we were deeply entangled into each other. I never thought my hubby will ever know because he was ever busy to notice.
I had severally promised him a position In my husband’s company but its like he was growing impatient.

That’s when he decided to take things into his own hand.

That weekend, James had flown to the coast for a very important meeting. The kids were at their auntie’s house. I was all alone in the house.

Jeff came by the house and he was happy when he found me all alone.
He suggested we take some booze and I was more than willing to.

He took two glasses from the cabinet and brought out a bottle of Scotch whisky. Jeff couldn’t stop telling how many times he has seen my husband getting cosy with his PA. He even gave Me her number. I swore that I was gonna deal with her one day.

We drunk ourselves silly, then he led me to my matrimonial bed…..

That night we shagged like crazy. Little did I know that he was recording the whole scenario.

Jeff left to his place and promised to come that Monday to drive the kids to school.

My husband landed on Monday morning, came straight to the house to change. His knocking at the bedroom door startled me. It was some minutes to eight in the morning and I hadn’t prepared the kids yet.

I opened the bedroom door and I waited for the usual hug, I got a push aside!

I wondered why he was acting like that. He looked furious and it was obvious my presence made it even worse.

He changed and without sparing me even a glance, he drove off!

I tried to call Jeff to come and drop the kids to school but the answer I got got him was heartbreaking.

He told me that he no longer worked as my driver, but as the head of financial department in our company!

That took Me by surprise. How did he pull that stunt? I was yet to know.

I drove the kids to school and came back into the house. I had a lot of thinking to do.
Did James know about our affair with Jeff? If so, how did he get to know that?

I had lot running through my mind. I needed answers and I needed them ASAP. I texted Jeff and he never replied.

I was disturbed and restless the whole day.

*********

Fast forward, Jeff disappeared after getting the job in our company. Oh yeah, I was a co-owner and I had shares in there.

James on the other hand never said anything to me. He seemed distant and he stopped talking to me completely. Each time I tried initiating a conversation, he would put me off completely. He never la!d a hand on me in bed. We slept on the same bed but we were like strangers. He even stopped eating my food.

I was somehow sure that he knew about our affair with Jeff and I came up with a plan to nail him before he. I wasn’t ready to admit that I was cheating on him. There by then, I came up with a plan to text his PA and threaten her to leave my hubby alone. That way, I would be way ahead of him.

Our love life deteriorated. He became distance. Sometimes he would sleep outside and I would ever blame it on infidelity. I would blame his PA for all that, not knowing that I was delivering him to her in a silver platter.

I remember one weekend Jeff had texted and told me that they had left together. I waited for him that night and he came home drunk.

When I confronted him, he left that Saturday and never came back the whole weekend.

I drowned myself in booze.

As usual, I blamed his absence on the PA who I came to learn her name as Jackline.
That Monday morning, I dropped the kids at school and drove to the company. My hubby hadn’t arrived yet and as I was waiting for him, I saw Jackie getting into the company, all alone. I confronted her but she denied ever having any affair with my hubby.

This confused me even more. She was so arrogant. She didn’t even accord me any respect as the boss’s wife.

I drove off after giving her a piece of my mind!
I was going to show her pepper for her arrogance….
