Must Read: The Cartel (18+)

ITORO

For Mrs. Akpan, she really wished things had been different. She wished she hadn’t been so filled with hate for a child that loved her all the while despite her ill-treatment. That she worried only about her happiness at the detriment of her daughter. She was disgusted with the fact that she even wished her and her grand child dead.
She had sent John with Ima’s cradle to give to her for the baby. She would have loved to go and see them herself and maybe sort things out with her, but her husband had told her in plain English to take Michael along and never return if she dared. And for the first time, she was filled with mortal fear for her husband. So he actually knew Micheal wasn’t his?.

FELICIA

For Mrs. Duke, life can only be cruel. She just didn’t deserve her husband. He was too good to be true. She’ll forever be hunted by her past and what she allowed herself to be talked into doing despite the fact that her husband claims to have forgiven her.
It was just the Monday after their wedding anniversary and she had been talking with Emem, who was her cousin, bestie and colleague in the staff room of FGGC Calabar where they both worked. All through the previous week, she had acted up trying get her husband to react differently from their 12 years of childlessness marriage. How exactly? She didn’t know, but she wanted something different from the “God knows best” he usually said. But he only got pissed and ignored her.
s*x had become once in two weeks if not less and very boring. Even on the night of their anniversary, the s*x was just to fulfill all righteousness. Her husband now preferred his work to her and always wanted more responsibilities in the teaching hospital just to keep him away from her. She could feel how withdrawn he was from her.
“He definitely has a family somewhere else and is definitely getting it from some where else. Perhaps those young nurses or student nurses” she complained to her cousin and bestie, Emem. They’ve been together all their lives, attending same primary and secondary schools, same university (UI) were they rocked life to the fullest before ending up amongst the second sets of teachers in FGGC Calabar just after their youth service which they did together. Influencing ones NYSC posting as long as it wasn’t to your state of origin wasn’t a problem back then.
“I’ve been telling you to try someone else, but you keep telling me you have changed. Look, until you give your man a child, he’ll only drift away from you the more. Don’t worry, his people will definitely get tired of holding back and come for your neck. They might just be keeping quiet and waiting for the proper time to bring the other lady and his kids and then send you parking. Look here girlfriend” she said turning Felicia’s face to herself “Heaven help those who help themselves. How are we even sure Chris (Dr. Duke) is even capable. I mean, is he actually fertile?”
“But the tests results…”. She attempted to reply but was cut short by Emem.


She had actually shared that thought. At least she knew she’s fertile. She had aborted twice, one during her final year and the other just before she met young doctor Duke. The second procedure was done by a quack and had resulted to complications which ended up with her in the teaching hospital. Though he wasn’t amongst the team that attended to her, that was when they met and fell in love.
“Look here girl, I don’t trust them doctors. They have a way of covering up for each other. Definitely they know he’s their colleague and would only want to protect one of their own. So they’ll tell you everything is ok with you both. 12 years is a whole damn time girl. I’ve got 5 kids after just 7 years of marriage”
“You have two sets of twins E” she cut her short
“We’re saying the same thing girl.. What? You had just two abortions. Remember I had four.” “one, two, three, four girl” she emphasized counting with her fingers. “I am saying we’re fertile girl. We’re so fertile in the family that rabbits envy us and you know it”
“So what do I do?” she had asked in defeat
“Damn girl, don’t tell me you don’t know what to do? You think I don’t know you’ve been flirting with that junior English teacher?” she asked giving her the look that she knew Felicia fancied the younger man but had been holding back because she vowed to be faithful to Chris, her husband.
“Get lost you Sl*t” she shoved her aside giggling at the fact that her secret was known to her cousin all the while. “I guess you’ve been fvcking that Corper boy under you?”
“You know me too well girl, I wouldn’t give up such a hunk for anything. Boy is a horse, I ride as much as I want” she said happily without shame.
“Shadows are meant to be behind, in front, or beside and never on top. You are meant to be his guardian and not his rider” she replied mocking her cousin.


*****


It was Wednesday morning in the staff room, the previous day she had given the English teacher signs all day that she wanted to fvck him, so she was going in for the kill today. She had put on a suit and a matching knee length skirt. Underneath she wore a red p@anties.



The said English teacher’s desk was directly opposite hers and severally in the past she had caught him trying to peep at her p@anties. She had just returned from her double period in a class which was the only lesson ahe had for the day. Their staff room had just 3 staff inside including the English teacher as others were in different classes.



Taking her seat knowing fully well the dude would be watching, she started by moving her legs just to get his attention. From the corner of her eyes, she notices he was finally trying to steal glances at her p@anties. Then she “innocently” threw open her legs wide.




The dude almost swallowed his tongue, as he pretended to look away. She had kept her cool, as though she had no idea of what was happening.




After about a minute, he had looked again and saw it was still wide open. Then she passed an arm under her table and pulled her shirt up her thighs giving him unrestrained view of her p@anties. Gosh, she felt so good. Her flirting skills were kicking in and she was getting wet already.




Then with her left hand, she began to rub her crotch as she noticed the guy’s eyes popping out of em sockets.



This went on for about 5 minutes then she stopped. Pulling out a plain sheet, she scribbled in bold “WAIT BY THE GATE DURING BREAK”
“Being the head of the department, and his superior, she called out to him “Mr. Ogar, please lemme have you attention”


The request threw him off balance as he replied “hmmmm?”
She repeated the question “lemme have you attention”
Fortunately for him the other staff were at the entrance and couldn’t see his huge erectiön as he tried hard to hide it within his chinos trouser.



Walking up to her uncomfortably, she maintained a straight face and turned the timetable in her desk telling him “I’m considering changing your single period for JSS 2 to double so you can cover your syllable before the exams”
But as the dude looked down on her table, he saw her touching a paper with her pen. On the paper was written “WAIT BY THE GATE DURING BREAK”
Sharp guy, he had immediately understood and nodded saying “No problem Ma”
