Married Single - Season 1 - Episode 40

The next one and another one followed after that and she screamed in my face.” You ungrateful man, you have the audacity to ask me that nonsense when all you have done is cause me pain. To add to the insults I hear you are in police cells because you went to disturbe someone over a woman”
” am i not woman enough for you?” My wife shouted tears falling her eyes.
I tried to make her understand but she seemed so upset I had never seen her that way.

” you know what? This is Over, you never even had the guts to marry me in church or Sign any documents so just consider this marriage over and am taking everything together with my children back to my parent’ s house. Let’s see how you will manage your life with a chain of loans on your payslips” she went on making everyone around look at me with disgusting looks.
She walked away telling the officers to lock me for ever If they so wished and i knew things were now bad.

Now I was at the mercy of Stella and Lucas who had me locked up and with no hope of being bailed out. ” the price am paying for loving you Stella” I thought to myself as I was squized between some lot other guys in the cell.

Two days in custody made me develop so much hatred towards Stella. I had hoped she would come back to bail me out but nothing.
My mind wild back to the first time we both made each other promises.

I just completed school and she was still going doing her grade 11. I planned on an outing with her after doing some work for my father who paid me some money which I had used to buy some food for our picnic.

She wore a short blue dress with a small lace on the front and some slippers. I smiled seeing her as she came out of her house. Her smile was breath taking.
” ready?” I asked her holding her hand. We booked a taxi which dropped us in the middle of some small bushes. She kept on looking around and I made her a promise to protect her.

” it’s a picnic babe and this is a perfect place for you and me to have our own moment ” I smiled as I made her sit on the Chitenge material that I asked her to come with.

We sat and ate the food that I had bought and later on talked about so many things.
We both were still virgins and right after we agreed to make love.

The experience was not so much exciting for both of us but I assured her we were going to get better.
” promise you will always love me no matter what” I had whispered as we stood holding each other by the tree trank.
” I love you Mike and I don’t think I will ever feel like this for any other person. I promise to be here always and to love you forever” she smiled and I kissed her.

The connection between us grew stronger and the other times we met it got better. I always used protection with her not wanting to ruin our plans by making her pregnant before she completed her secondary school. The idea was for both of use to complete our school and found some good jobs for our better future.

I wiped my eyes at the memories I just had realising I was still confined to a cell.
” I loved you with everything I had and you broke our promise. Now you will not live to enjoy being with another man as long as I am still alive.” I whispered to myself.
” enjoy it while it lasts Lucas, Cause when am out of here. You will have a better use of the word Lunatic like you have called me several times” I scoffed.

Like to answer my prayer, I heard the officer call out my name and told me someone had bailed me out.

I wondered who the saviour was and I was amazed to find Chris, standing outside waiting for me to sign the bail.
” what the hell? ” I asked looking at him.
” you are supposed to say thank you” I saw him smile as he signed the papers.

Okey that came as a surprise and I couldn’t wait to hear to what I owed that favour from the man who had been my greatest enemy.
.
Stella…
” you can’t keep like this Stella, I told you already all this is going to be over soon.” Lucas comforted me as we both sat on my bed.

He had become a regular visitor to my house after the incidence with Mike.
Now that I was sure Chris and Mike had teamed up to make my life mesirable by threatening Lucas and sending me some text messages using some enormous numbers.
I started working a week after Mike was placed in police custody and immediately he came out he sent videos of me and him together the time we were at the lodge to threaten to publish them on social media if i didn’t stop seeing Lucas.

He told me through the messages that he was going to tell people the reason my marriage ended was because I was sleeping around.
At first I thought Mike was bragging. I was so sure he never got any video of us but when he sent me a clip I was powerless. My face was so clear in the video every single person I knew would recognise me if it went on social media. Not to talk of my reputation and that of my family.

The worse of it all was that he sent some photos of the recordings to my current employer telling them how i was a cheap women who was there to degrade the organisation with my prostitution.
I was fired from the Job that Lucas recommended me to barely a week after starting.

Now I was stuck back home if not for Lucas standing by my side I could have had nothing to eat or use in my home.

I looked at him still looking calm and composed I wondered how he managed that. He smiled at me and held my face to look at him.

” am going to find Mike and I swear I will take all the recordings he has of you. It all will be over soon” he assured me.
” I don’t really know Lucas. How do i stay calm knowing Mike is out there planing God knows what against me. ? He threatened to kill you and make it look like I did it if I don’t stop seeing you. Honestly Lucas we need to consider stopping our relationship. For starters am not ready to loose you and you don’t derseve all this. You are a good man Lucas and I won’t forgive myself if anything happens to you. Please listen to me and leave me already ” I begged him squizing his hands.

He instead kissed me on my lips and whispered,
“What kind of man will I be if I can abandon the woman I love just because some jealousy lunatic is threatening me.?” He shrugged.
