Belina - S02 E31 (Story Episode)

Read Story: SEASON 2 EPISODE 31

I chewed the salty crackers
Richard had given me.

Richard had pampered me
so much that I got tired of
it, loved it though. I woke
up rather late. Is it part of
the signs of pregnancy to
sleep too much? If it is, I do
not like it. I hate waking up
late, no matter how tired I
was the previous day. I felt
heavy and weak and I
wanted to do some
exercise even if it is strolling
but Richard would not have
it. I still felt weak and sick
but I explained to him that
it was just a minor
weakness, of course, he did
not listen.

The part of the pampering I
really enjoyed was when he
bathed me. Silly me, you
would say. I am allowed to
be silly; I am married for
heaven’s sake. You enjoy so
many ‘silly things’ when you
are married, especially to a
very handsome Richard. The
bath had graduated into
something else and instead
of it being a single person
bath, it became double.

After the love play in the
bathroom and in the room
afterwards, he had got me
some salty crackers from
the supermarket which
would reduce my nausea,
then tried to force me to eat
something even though I
had no appetite at all.

I had to send him to the
hospital forcefully when his
pampering was becoming
too much, saying that he
needed to take care of
Kelvin. He didn’t like me
mentioning his name but I
had done it just to send him
to the hospital. When that
jealous look had crossed his
face, I had smiled and
kissed him, telling him that I
love him.

I chewed the cracker, very
happy that he had actually
bought it. It was helping
me, although I already
missed Richard. I sent him a
message, telling him that I
would love to have another
bath. I smiled to myself as I
saw the delivery alert.

Prisca smiled internally as
she sat opposite Richard.
She wanted to just blurt
everything out but she
wanted a little fun. She
wanted the downfall of
Oyin to be her way of
having fun. She had arrived
at BRH and had headed
straight towards Richard’s
office. He would have called
Belina but she did not want
to stress her at all. She is an
expectant mother, she
thought with a smile.

She had to wait in the
reception for Richard
because he was not on
seat. Richard met her there
and had invited her into the
office. They had discussed
various issues before she
carefully slipped into her
main purpose for coming.

“Richard, someone in this
hospital has tried to break
up my lovely family” she had
said.

Richard’s eyes had twitched
as he looked at her as if
dumbfounded.

“What are
you talking about? Is there
any problem between you
and Tony? Who is that
person?”

Prisca’s expression had
been one of pain.

“It is
Oyinade. I saw her
yesterday. She is trying to
destroy a family filled with
love. She even has the guts
to admit it to my face. I
wanted to tell you yesterday
but I could not. You were
already on your way home.”
Richard had remembered
that she was about to say
something but had kept
quiet. He did not question
her again but had called
Oyinade immediately. She
tried hard to keep in place
her facial remorse as she
waited patiently for Oyinade
to arrive.

Not long after, a call came in
through the intercom and
Richard said into the
mouth-piece, ‘tell her to
come in’. She smiled
internally.

Oyinade entered and upon
sighting Prisca, she
shivered. Richard noticed
this, he had actually thought
that there must have been a
mistake but seeing
Oyinade’s reactions, he
knew that something was
fishy. This lady is already
having the habit of causing
confusion in homes. “Would
you explain exactly what I
am hearing Miss Adeyanju?”
Richard said sternly, having
a calm look on his face; an
expression that Oyinade
had come to term as
dangerous.

Oyinade shifted
uncomfortably on her feet.
“I… don’t understand sir”
she breathed very quietly
that Richard almost did not
hear her.

“You better understand
before I lose my cool. Tell
me what you did before my
sister-in-law repeats herself,
leading you into even
bigger trouble” Richard
dropped, piercing her with
his eyes even though she
avoided meeting his.
She trembled.

“I am sorry
sir, I was misled. I was over-
ambitious and dying with
love that I had to do
everything within my
power to have you” she
said, tears dropping from
her eyes.

Richard was now confused;
very confused. “What are
you talking about?” he
asked, looking from a
distraught Oyinade to an
indifferent Prisca and back.
“I admit everything Mrs.
Williams told you but sir, I
did everything out of love
for you sir. Ever since I saw
you on TV, I hadn’t stopped
fantasizing about being
with you and having you to
myself.” She sniffed. Richard
just stared wide eyed.

“I
was the one that sent you
the picture of your wife and
her ex”

“What?” Richard said
before he could stop
himself. His anger was now
coercing to the surface.
She cried harder.

“I only
wanted you to love me sir.
That is why I wore that
skimpy dress to work, so
that you would notice me.”
She swallowed.

“I am so
sorry sir… I would never do
it again” she said, kneeling
down.

Richard just stared at her,
not knowing what to do or
say. He had expected
something like this but not
about him and Belina. Prisca
had said it in a way that
made him think it had to do
with she and Tony.

Prisca took out her phone,
pressed a few buttons and
the conversation between
she and Oyin filled the
room. When the recording
ended, Richard placed his
head on his desk. His head
was filled with nothing and
everything. He could not
believe he had such a
person in his hospital. He
lifted his eyes.

“I would take pity on you
because I am not ready for
any legal case right now but
you know that if I decide to
put you behind bars, you
would be there for some
time. I have the power; but
I would not do that. Stand
up now and go to your
office. You have one hour to
pack all your possessions.
You are fired.”

Oyin’s head shot up
instantly.

“No. Please sir, I
am sorry. I did what I did
out of ignorance. Please”
she pleaded.

Richard’s piercing gaze
almost blocked air from
entering her nostrils.
“Remove that tag and hand
it over”, he ordered.

Oyinade was still for a
couple of seconds. She
removed the BRH tag
bearing her name and
placed it on the table.

“Now,

get out now” the words
were a little above a
whisper but it was like a
scream due to the way he
said it. Oyinade stood up,
wiped her eyes and left
deflated.

Richard picked up his
intercom and barked.
“Prepare a letter of
termination of contract for
Miss Adeyanju immediately.
She is no longer a staff in
BRH”

Oyin made for her office like
a robot. Her brain was
blank. No thought came.
She picked up the few
things she had in her office
– her photo frame, her Ipad,
her bag and some other
minute things and moved
out of the hospital. Curious
stares greeted her as she
left but she did not pay
them any heed. The only
thing that came to her head
was,
