My Boss Wife - S01 E08

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 8

My late husband wrote his son as the heir to

all his properties but everything should be

under my control until he reached the age of

twenty-one. I was the happiest woman in the

world even though his younger brother had

been coming arguing that I killed his brother

because I wanted to inherit everything. He

had been coming around the house disturbing

until our family lawyer read the will in the

presence of all family members. Busayo had

been depressed and I wanted to be closer to

her so as to encourage her that she can still

find love again. I employed her as the

Accountant-in-Chief of Ray and Sons Ltd. I’ve

been seeing Mr. Kayode only on official

matters now. Moreover, he was a married

man and I wouldn’t want to put two hearts

asunder. But surprisingly, I received a parcel

from my gateman on reaching home one

afternoon. After coming down from the car, I

opened the parcel as I was walking inside

our home. It was a letter and a flower. The

cover had the title: “A Letter to My Boss’

Wife.”

Dear Tonia,

I’m sorry for writing you but read this letter

with “hakuri” because like the Latins say,

“non sum dingus”, I’m just not worthy. Deep

inside the bottomless part of my innermost

heart is a sweet madness which pushes me

so hard to write you this letter. My one and

only experience with you stole my heart away

from me.

First accept my sincerest condolences to you

for the lost of your husband, my boss and

faithful mentor. To tell you the truth, since I

encountered you, I’ve longed for something

more. You brought sunshine into my life’s

pathway no matter the misery and

melancholy that characterize our unsecured

condition in the country. Since you took over

the position of your late husband, you’ve

been the loving object of my eyes. How

stupid am I but I can’t spend a day without

the thought of you. My days are filled with

sadness without you. Where have you been?

Where, oh where have you been leaving my

heart so sour? I’m trying to reach your heart

with my true words, whispering that I love

you.

I cannot live another day, no, not another day

without you. Listen to me, take my heart and

soul even though I’m a married man and you,

a widow.

I love you.

Kisses

From Kayode.

What is this? “Listen to me, take my heart

and soul even though I’m a married man and

you, a widow.”

This man must be unfaithful to his wife. Why

would he be asking me of such a thing? I

went to the kitchen and quickly burned the

letter and the flower inclusive. I can’t take

this rubbish. I decided to discuss with

Busayo who stopped by my house on her way

from the market the next day.

“Bussy-baby, there’s something I’ve been

meaning to share with you since yesterday.”

“What’s that?”

“You know Kayode in the office?”

“Yes, the one whom we met when we went

shopping for my sham marriage naah.”

“Perfect, he wrote me a letter asking me to

be his girl friend. He has the guts to say

since he’s married and I’m a widow.”

“What the hell! And what did you say to him

in reply?”

“I’ve not replied him yet. I want to cease his

employment and make him jobless.”

“No, don’t go that far; he’s one of the most

diligent of all the workers in your company.”

“Then I would give him the warning of his

life.”

“That will be fine for you’re his boss’ wife, his

new boss.”

——————–

Although I burnt his parcel and warned him

embarrassingly in the office, I couldn’t stop

thinking of him. I remembered the way

Kayode kissed me; his luscious lips tasted

like mint explosion. It was a perfect meeting

and mating I had since longed for more.

Switching off the lights in Odin’s room at

night, my son exclaimed.

“Mummy, I love you!”

“I love you too honey.”

“But I know something about the bomb blast

that mummy does not know.”

“That’s my baby.” I said as we both laughed.

I went to my room that night thinking of

Kayode. Sunk was I in thoughts, imagining

myself in his arms. As I was touching myself,

my phone rang. It was a text message so I

didn’t bother to check it. Since the death of

his father, I’ve been calling Odin the names I

used to call his dad. Odin loves me and I

don’t want any Kayode to come in between

our happy lives but the truth is that I have

not been able to stop thinking of him. What

has been happening to me is what I do not

know right now. Leaving my room, I went

peeping to see whether Odin has slept off.

Yes, he had slept off. Going back to my room,

I picked up my phone to read through the

message; it was Kayode.

“Please don’t say no to me for my life is in

your hands. I’ve been sick because my heart

leaves me daily in search of you. Make me

well again by saying yes. I love you.”

What will I do now? I can’t deny the fact that

thoughts of him have been the predominant

thing on my mind. Should I say yes and keep

the affair hidden from Busayo and my son?

Yes, that’s what I will do. Kayode is such a

handsome and romantic man.

I pressed the reply button and send a reply to

him.

“I love you too Kayode-baby and let’s meet

tomorrow at 10am to begin our love

peregrination.”

Before I knew it, he called me immediately.

“I’m so happy you accepted.”

“I couldn’t run away from my feelings. It was

the best thing I could do.”

“But won’t your son be home by 10am

tomorrow?”

“Are you not a dad, tomorrow is a school day

man…c’mon go to bed.”

“I love you.” He said with a singing voice.

“I love you too hon…good night.” I stopped

immediately. I shouldn’t call him what I used

to call my late husband; his son deserves

that more than any man in the world. My

husband has just been buried and I’m about

to begin a relationship with another man.

When I drove Odin to school the next door,

he reminded me of his father. He was such a

good child, doing things far above his age.

“I love mummy.” He said to the gateman.

“I love you too honey.” I shouted, smiling.

While on my way home, I put a call to my

secretary, intimating her that I will not be in

the office today because of an important

appointment. Appointment ke? I smiled as I

increased my speed, overtaking cars

imagining that Kayode was already waiting

for me.

I reached home and changed to something

simple. I wore a jean shorts and a T-shirt. I

moved to the sitting room and put on the

telly, quickly channeling to telemundo. Before

I finished watching a scene, a car horned. It

was Kayode horning to get into my house.

“Ooh, I’m so glad you made it.” I said.

“I excused myself from office today.” He

said.

“We have all the time for us. The whole

world can wait.”

“Yes dear, we can catch some fun here.”
