Must Read: The Cartel (18+)

After crying for about 10 minutes, she entered the bathroom. With the moveable faucet, she douched her pvssy in an attempt to rid herself of his Pour. Then she immersed her body inside the bathtub as though to wash her body off him and her sins. As she lay there, she continued to sob.



After about 40 minutes, she exited the bathtub, rinsed her body and returned to the room to sleep.



Chris returned from work much later in the evening because of an emergency they had at the A&E unit where he currently leads a team. On his way he had gotten a bottle of wine and when she opened the door to welcome him, the look of happiness was all over his face.


Kissing her in way that surprised her, he apologized for being late telling her he was caught up with an emergency. But only needs 15 minutes to get freshen up and ready. “why are you not dressed?” he asked as he entered the room.



She was still confused and filled with guilt, then it hit her. Her dad’s birthday. “Damn” she cursed herself. They were supposed to be at her parents residence for dad’s 60th birthday anniversary and she had forgotten. She broke down in tears again at how messed up her life had just become. She had to confess to her husband right then if she was to keep her sanity.




Truth was, she enjoyed every bit of it, and knew looking for a baby aside, she just wouldn’t stop again.


Following him into the bedroom, he had already entered the shower and she sat on the bed waiting for him. When he came out he asked in surprise why she still wasn’t getting dressed just before he noticed she was crying.
“Again? Seriously? What is it this time Felicia?” He asked calling her by her name as against baby, which was an indication he was getting pissed already.
“Chris” she started sniffing, “I’ve sinned against you and God. And until I confess my sins, I’ll have no peace. I’ve been living a lie all this while and I’ve come to realize I don’t deserve you or your love, but yet you’ve always made me ask if you are for real.. Please sit down” she said motioning for him to take the seat by her dressing table. When he was seated, she began:
“Like you know, I was born into a rich family.




Daddy was not just a politician in the ruling class but was also amongst the first people to be made knights amd elders of the church. At the church and public front, dad has always been a disciplinarian but mum was the direct opposite.




She let I and my siblings have our way in everything unless when dad is around which rarely happens.


I grew up becoming very loose and actually lost my virginity at age 15 to our driver back then.



From then on, it was no holds barred as I slept with anything that had a J0yst!ck. How I never got pregnant then remains a mystery to me but fast forward to when I was age 20 and in my final year. By this time I can’t remember the number of flings and night stands I had, almost every weekend I got clubbing, I come back home with a different guy. I had a phobia for commitment in relationships, so I always left guys heart broken.



It was during this period that dad was about to be made a knight in the Church and I was at home for a break. Just about two weeks to dad’s big day. I, Emem, my mom and grandma where in the kitchen doing something I can’t remember, but at that time, I was stressed out from all the running around. At a time, mom asked me to get something for her. Already I’d been feeling weak for the past week. So just when I was about passing it to her, I saw myself on the floor.



Minutes later, I woke up in bed seeing my mom crying and my grandma rubbing my head. Then she told me I was pregnant. I couldn’t believe it. I knew that was the end because my dad would definitely kill me. If it were in Ibadan, I would have terminated it without them knowing.



I asked if dad was aware and begged he shouldn’t be informed but my grandma refused and sent for him. Till she died, mom never forgave her.


Dad swore to kill I and mom if the Church got wind of it and striped him of the knighthood he was even yet to get. Immediately, he put calls across to some contacts in Port Harcourt and a date for the termination was fixed. It was to happen a week to the event and I, like my other siblings were expected to attend.



Three days later, he personally drove me, Emem and my aunt to PH. Grandma was against it, but he never gave her a second look. The only thing I remember was having been given anesthetics and asked to recite the alphabets while I drifted out of consciousness. Two days after the procedure, the driver came back to pick us.



Besides the driver who actually took my virginity and was still sleeping with me from time to time, not one else heard about it. Not even my younger siblings. As a matter of fact, he later asked me if he was responsible and I laughed telling him it was past and he shouldn’t fear.



The 6 weeks old foetus finally gone, I was free again and I could breathe. Dad’s event came and went, everyone was happy and no one ever mentioned that incidence.



Fasts forward to my NYSC, I got the groves back on and started sleeping around again and hot knocked up again. Unfortunately for me, I was home again but this time I noticed before anyone else. Scared of dad’s wrath, i contacted a guy who so many girls my class patronized to do the job because we knew going to any hospital or the teaching hospital was a no no and my dad would surely find out. But unfortunately for me, a day later i was still bleeding and was eventually rushed to the teaching hospital where it was discovered i had an abortion which was badly done.


Surprisingly dad was scared that he would loose me (his only daughter) and mom threatened to kill him and then herself because the fear of him made me visit a quack.


Then I met you. You came into my room to preach to me. Initially I thought you were a doctor who was on duty but you introduced yourself as a legion of Mary member and had come share the gospel with me. I actually wanted to send you out because I felt you were coming to chastise me on why I did an abortion but instead your preached about the love of God for me and how I’ve already been forgiven.


You became a regular but not just to preach but talk about other things that made me laugh.


Within a week for the first time in my life, i began to yearn for a guys presence. I was in love with you bit feared you wouldn’t find a girl like me worthy. Two weeks later I was discharged and was actually about entering the car, i hadn’t seen you in two days and was angry you didn’t show up foe at least a good bye hug when i saw you running toward the car with your stethoscope in one hand and your lab coat.




(**forgotten the name doctors call that white dress**)
You were apologizing saying you’ve been on call and had no chance to see me. The only question I asked was are you a doctor? You said yes and i angrily entered the car and left because you hid that from me, for no other reason other than was I love with you and you didn’t love me back reason why you hid your identity from me.


In meeting you, I became a new person and we ended up getting married with me blessing Gods name for how lucky I was to have found you. But 12 years down the line I’m yet to give you a child. Sometimes I asked my self if the statement my grandma made to me when I got back home that “did you ever pause for a moment to think this might be your only chance at motherhood?” is finally coming back to hunt me. But on a second thought, I dismissed it knowing women in my family have always been fertile. Even after four abortions, Emem my partner in crime still had two sets of twins and a boy.
..l.

Though we went for several tests, with the last one being only two weeks ago, I began to doubt the doctors thinking you might actually be the problem and they were just covering their colleague up.”
Looking up at him, ahe saw tears begin to run down his eyes. Was she right she wondered. Looking back down, she continued
“Added to the fact is for the 12 years we’ve been married, non of your family member or your mom have given me any headache concerning being childless with only my own family seeming bothered. So I began to feel you must have told them the truth, that you are sterile hence the reason they don’t bother me or that you actually have a wife and kids somewhere hence no one cared about me.



For months now, s*x between us have been non existent and out rightly boring and you never cared. Last month we had s*x just twice and I felt you were getting it elsewhere, maybe your second wife or some nurse at the hospital.


For 12 years Chris, I stayed true to you. I upheld my marital vows, but thinking about the fact that one day a woman might just show up with a kid with your people, and then they’ll send me parking I decided to try so someone else”
With teary voice, he pleaded “Please don’t say it. Baby don’t say it”
They word baby melted her heart as she bursts into tears crying “I cheated on you Chris.. I cheated on you today Chris.. I broke my vows just to get pregnant and give you a child Chris.. I went back to my old lifestyle Chris.. I feel so dirty Chris.. Stop loving me Chris.. I don’t deserve you.. You need to be happy Chris.. Just send me away…..” she said all these while crying out loud
With teary eyes, she looked up and saw her husband crying and shaking like a baby. None of them made any attempt at consoling one another.

After about 5 minutes, he calmed down a little and started “Baby, I’m sorry to have kept this from you all the while”
