Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 75
Occupying the ‘Queen of my
Heart’ throne was Ifeoma. Oh my
lovely one. She had so captured
my heart that I began
daydreaming of our marriage.
Even though I seldom called her
she never complained. She
always believed my not calling
was because I had little money.
She never made demands nor
compared our relationship to any
of her friends’. During her first
visit in the year 2010, she had
bought a few things for me
among which was a door rug
mat. Little gesture it was but it
meant so much to me. Uche and I
had been living without a door
mat. We used our condemned
clothes as rags and door mat. Her
observation and decision to buy
a better and more worthy item to
be used in place of those dirty
rags meant many things. First,
she is attentive to details – a
special trait that makes a good
home manager. Secondly, it
showed she is willing to take up
family burdens without waiting
or wanting the ‘man of the
house’ to be the one to always
solve problems – trait of a
virtuous wife. Finally, it marketed
her as being caring – trait of a
good mother. What more does a
man need? Hmmm, she even lied
for me before her friends. She
would tell them I was the one
that paid for her new hair,
bought her new clothes or a new
text for her waec. She made our
relationship the envy of all. The
truth was the uncle she was
living with did all those things for
her. He showered her with care;
gave her access to much cash.
Her best friend Anita had began
hearing rumours about us but
never did confronted her or me.
We never knew she was
hatching evil plans.
